Queen Elizabeth's senior aide gives approval to new royal play
Queen Elizabeth's senior dresser Angela Kelly is a big fan of a new play about her relationship with the monarch. Daisy Goodwin's By Royal Appointment was inspired by the late monarch and her personal assistant's working relationship and Daisy revealed Angela actually attended a performance of the play and was impressed with how 'true to the Queen' it was. Daisy told HELLO! Magazine: 'She wrote me such a sweet note afterwards to say how much she'd enjoyed it. She felt it was truthful and it had made her well up. 'I thought that was so impressive. It takes a lot of nerve to watch something that's meant to be you on stage. She was big enough to see that what I've done was not her but true to her position. I think she thought it was true to the Queen so I was thrilled by that.' Daisy also spoke about how Angela's circumstances have changed since the death of Queen Elizabeth in 2022, going from a role 'at the heart of the court' to obscurity. She said: 'You go from having been one of the most powerful people at the heart of the court to someone whose services are no longer required and I thought 'here is a great story'. 'I didn't want her to feel exploited but now that she's seen it, she knows it's an affectionate portrait of the Queen and a realistic portrait of her. 'I imagine that in a world of courtiers, to have someone like Angela, who is not to the manor born, in a position of power, must have been quite tricky. She didn't suffer fools gladly.' And, Daisy was also fascinated by Queen Elizabeth's relationship with fashion. She explained: 'Here is a woman who isn't interested in fashion at all. What she wanted to wear was a Barbour or a headscarf. And yet she was the most famous clotheshorse in the world.' By Royal Appointment is currently on a national tour with Anne Reid as the Queen and Caroline Quentin as the dresser.

Dita Von Teese believes in 'walking mindfully'
Dita Von Teese believes in 'walking mindfully'. The 54-year-old burlesque performer is always aware of her body and movements and as well as wanting to look 'graceful' she's always present when strolling anywhere because she doesn't want to get hurt. Asked for tips on moving seductively, she told Britain's HELLO! Magazine: 'The first thing that comes to mind is walking mindfully. 'I don't walk around dancing down the street, but I do think about my movements almost like a dance, being aware of my body and feeling grateful for how it carries me. 'It's not just about looking graceful, it's also practical. 'I hear people say they got hurt because they were walking while staring at their phones. That's when accidents happen. So I try to walk carefully, consciously. 'I don't know if that's exactly seductive, but I'd say it's definitely the first step… no pun intended.' Charlotte Tilbury has created the beauty looks for Dita's London show Diamonds and Dust, and the dancer was delighted to 'reconnect' with her old friend. She said: 'I met Charlotte in the early 2000s. One of the memories that really stands out was when Moschino did a fashion show that felt completely like my world, all fetish and pin-up and Charlotte styled all the girls to look like me – my typical make-up, a red lip and cat's eye. 'I was like, 'God, it looks amazing. How can they just go home and wash it off?' 'Around that time, I was in London quite a bit and we'd hang out socially. She's so much fun. 'Obviously, we've both been working our buns off for the past decade or so and she's built this incredible make-up empire. It feels really special to reconnect in London.' Ahead of a performance, Dita finds taking time for a 'snooze-itation' is good for her wellbeing. She explained: 'It starts as a meditation but often turns into a little nap. 'That's usually what I do in my dressing room – just lie flat and unwind. 'I also use this device called the Celluma Pro. It's not a red-light mask but more of an arch and I place it over my face. 'I pretend I'm lying in the sun while I meditate or snooze. It's my favourite way to reset.'
