Royal Ascot backs next generation of hat-makers from King's charity

Ahead of this month's world-famous meet, known as much for its colourful and creative displays of headwear as the horseracing, Ascot has introduced a £10,000 annual bursary to support a King's Foundation and Chanel graduating millinery student. Daniel McAuliffe, education director at The King's Foundation said: 'The royal family are incredible ambassadors for the craft of millinery and as the King's charity we are proud to be supporting the future of this skill at the most iconic hat-wearing event of the year.' The Foundation's students will also be showcasing their hats at this year's Royal Ascot, which runs from June 17-21, with a special display for racegoers in the Queen Anne Enclosure on the Berkshire course. The Chanel and The King's Foundation Metiers d'Art Millinery Fellowship in Partnership with le19M, Chanel's creative hub for artisans in Paris, was launched in 2024 with a cohort of six students. The intensive programme aims to develop a network of young specialist milliners in the UK, with the support of Parisian hat-maker Maison Michel at le19M. It forms part of The King's Foundation's wider work, inspired by Charles's passion for protecting traditional heritage skills at risk of being lost. Future students joining the millinery course will also be tasked with designing a Royal Ascot-inspired hat, with one selected to feature in the Royal Ascot Millinery Collective from 2026 onwards as its 11th design. The collective, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary, is an annual presentation of 10 bespoke designs created exclusively for Royal Ascot under the creative direction of British fashion designer Daniel Fletcher. Mr McAuliffe added: 'This is such a fantastic opportunity for our talented millinery students as they begin to build their businesses. 'We are delighted to be working with Ascot and our long-term partners Chanel and le19M to recognise the importance of the British tradition of millinery.' Felicity Barnard, Ascot Racecourse's chief executive, said: 'Exquisite hats and millinery masterpieces are woven into the very fabric of Royal Ascot's heritage and we are committed to preserving and celebrating this tradition for generations to come.'

Love Island stars unfollow each other as split turns bitter – after he's spotted with stunning influencer

There is no going back for these exes FINAL SWIPE Love Island stars unfollow each other as split turns bitter – after he's spotted with stunning influencer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island stars Whitney Adabyo has put the final nail in the coffin after her split with Lochan Nowacki - she has unfollowed him online. Whitney, 27, has cut off social media contact with Lochan, also 27, after their two-year relationship came to an end last month. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Whitney Adabyo has unfollowed Lochan Nowacki on social media Credit: Getty 5 She recently split with her Love Island co-stars after two years Credit: Getty Lochan has since been caught cosying up to influencer Nguyen Yeats-Brown, which has sparked rumours he has already moved on. And that appears to have been the last straw for Whitney. Whitney has now unfollowed Lochan on Instagram, while he has also reciprocated the snub. All photographic trace of their relationship has also been removed from their grids, proving they are well and truly over. Love Island alumni Whitney and Lochan announced their break-up in April. The confirmation came weeks after fans began speculating that the reality stars had broken up. Admitting the rumours were true, Lochan said: "Hey guys, unfortunately Whitney and I's relationship has come to an end. "Thank you for all the love and support that you've show us through our journey, we're forever grateful." Whitney shared the identical message, only swapping out her name for Lochan's. The couple had met on the 2023 series of Love Island after Whitney entered the villa as a bombshell. Whitney coupled up with Lochan and they made it to the final. Although they were the bookies' favourite to win, they finished in second place. Prior to their split announcement, Whitney had dropped a huge clue that she was no longer in a relationship with Lochan. In a rather shady TikTok video, she appeared to hint at cheating. Whitney was seen miming along to the Mariah the Scientist song All For Me and the lyrics, "What does she have on me?". As she continued looking confused, the words, "She doesn't wear wigs' popped up onscreen. Whitney captioned the post, "Oh yikes", which further added to concern from her fans. Weeks later, Lochan was caught on camera looking close to influencer Nguyen Yeats-Brown. The pair had taken part in a celebrity tennis tournament and seemed to be getting on VERY well. In the short video, they appeared to have great chemistry and at one point Nguyen put her head on the former Islander's shoulder. Whitney, meanwhile, said she was "bamboozled" by her relationship break-up. Speaking on her podcast, Whitney recalled how Lochan said: "I've seen how much you've changed, and you're becoming like the woman that we always spoke about you becoming. "And I'm just not willing to do that." She added: "I was bamboozled. This is the person that you told me you wanted." 5 Whitney and Lochan met on Love Island in 2023 Credit: Rex 5 They were in a relationship for two years after the show Credit: Instagram/@whitbrownsx
