Lady Amelia Windsor, hailed by Vogue as 'the most beautiful member of the royal family,' will make a special appearance, bringing her effortless fusion of modernity and tradition.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Author bans Andrew's pal Lady V from book launch
With explosive claims about Prince Andrew – his friendship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and compromising material about him passed to hostile states – Andrew Lownie's book on the Duke of York has rocked the monarchy. Now I hear the launch party – following its exclusive serialisation in the Daily Mail – is causing ructions of its own. Tonight, Lownie is due to celebrate the publication of Entitled: The Rise And Fall Of The House Of York with a party at The London Library in St James's Square. The author has, however, felt the need to ban one of the capital's most prominent socialites, Lady Victoria Hervey. Veteran public-relations man Brian Basham is invited to the bash and wanted to bring his friend Lady Victoria, 48, sister of the Marquess of Bristol, as his plus-one. But when he politely asked Lownie if this would be acceptable, the author made it clear that she would be turned away at the door of the library, the former haunt of Charles Dickens, Virginia Woolf, Charles Darwin and Ian Fleming. 'Look forward to seeing you, but she's barred,' Lownie told Basham. He is understood to have taken exception to unflattering comments she made on GB News about his book. Lady Victoria has been an outspoken defender of Prince Andrew and his friend Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving 20 years in a US jail for enticement of minors and sex-trafficking under-age girls. She claims she had to flee the US as a result. 'It all started getting scary when I got involved with a documentary about Ghislaine,' she told me in 2023. 'I pretended to be on a whistleblower's side to get evidence to support Ghislaine. I have been working undercover and it's dangerous. 'The powers that be over there know all about me, I even thought I was being followed. I was glad to get back to the UK. I just want this to be over and stop looking over my shoulder. 'I am in touch with Prince Andrew, but I can't discuss him.' Cool Anita! Single, sexy Rani rules the Proms Woman's Hour host Anita Rani painted the Royal Albert Hall red with the 'dress of her dreams' this week as she presented a BBC Proms concert. The Countryfile star, 47, turned up at the London landmark wearing this striking red couture dress designed by Asar. Rani, who presented the return to the Proms of sitar virtuoso Anoushka Shankar, has been enjoying life since the end of her 14-year marriage to tech executive Bhupi Rehal in 2023. She says: 'I'm single. I'm child-free, I'm in my mid-40s, and I have never felt better, sexier, more powerful.' Romance was anything but elementary for Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch. The Harrow-educated actor, 49, is married to theatre director and playwright Sophie Hunter, 47, but admits she might have given up hope that he would ever make the first move. Describing his lack of confidence around women, he says:'I took 17½ years to get round to doing something. I was a tongue-tied public schoolboy. But I figured it out and put it to her that we could be more than friends.' They now have three children. Famed for her opulent lifestyle, Mariah Carey has developed a taste for a simple British classic – fish and chips. The singer, who was in Brighton recently showing off her five-octave range as the headline act at the Pride festival, reveals: 'I just didn't know what to eat. I was like, OK, let's just do fish and chips. And it was actually really good.' There are limits, however. 'I don't like vinegar with it,' the 56-year-old says. As for mushy peas? 'I hadn't noticed that...' Curry sauce? 'I don't like curry.' Synth-pop pioneer Thomas Dolby, 66, who invented the Nokia ringtone, admits his mother tried to rig the Top 40 for him. After he told her the top-selling singles were determined by a survey of record shops, she took matters into her own hands. He adds: 'At her store in Cambridge, when I had a single, she'd buy 20.' Let's hope this won't invalidate the Top 20 spot of Dolby's 1984 hit Hyperactive! BUCKINGHAM Palace may be undergoing a ten-year, £369million renovation – but will that be enough for Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen? The foppish former Changing Rooms presenter says the monarch's home is 'like a rather downat-heel golf resort'. Llewelyn-Bowen, 60, adds: 'Buckingham Palace has that dowdy feel to it. It should be a bit more splendiferous than it actually is. 'I did some flooring there, years ago, before I was famous, and Prince Philip hated it. I told him when I met him, 'You probably don't know this, but years ago I designed these floors.' 'And he looked down and went, 'Hmm, never liked them.'' How self-conscious Ore scooped Strictly by a hair BBC star Ore Oduba has revealed the desperate efforts he made to cover up the fact that he was going bald while competing on Strictly Come Dancing. 'Hiding my hair loss during Strictly was hard but absolutely necessary,' declares Ore, 39, who treated himself with a hair-loss spray before resorting to tablets, which, worryingly, have potential side-effects including infertility and impotence. 'I'd visit my trusted barber every Friday so my hairline was tight and tidy.' Recalling the moment his 2016 Strictly victory was announced, the presenter, who has two children with ex-wife Portia, pictured, says: 'My mind fully emptied from the shock. But I had the wherewithal to know not to touch my hair when I had my head in my hands!'

Ahead of arriving at the race course former Made In Chelsea star Georgia, 30, took to Instagram to share snaps of her outfit and admitted she 'couldn't breathe' in her dress.

While Lady Victoria Hervey, 48, opted for a green patterned dress, white blazer and fascinator. Royal Ascot, the jewel in the crown of the UK racing calendar, kicked off on Tuesday with the Queen Anne Stakes and will run until Saturday. King Charles and Camilla are likely to arrive in the famous carriage procession along the course and past the stands that will welcome hundreds of thousands of punters during the five-day meet. It is a royal tradition that has reached its 200th anniversary this year after it was first held in 1825 during the reign of King George IV. The festival was founded by Queen Anne in 1711 after she declared Ascot ideal for 'horses fit for kings' and it is now a major social event and sporting attraction. Georgia is an avid fan of the races and is often seen making glamorous appearances at festivals all around the UK, recently stepping out for Epsom's Ladies Day. Georgia has had an exciting few months after she and her now-husband James eloped in North East Scotland. The tight number showed off her figure and featured a draped high neck, while she boosted her height with strappy heels Georgia joked in her post about not being able to breathe and shared her outfit details The pair got engaged last October after the millionaire proposed with an exquisite eight-carat triple-diamond studded band estimated to be worth £200,000 during a romantic getaway in Greece for Georgia's 30th birthday. After the BrewDog founder promised that the pair would be married this year, the couple did indeed tie the knot - though guests only had 48 hours' notice to attend the whirlwind ceremony. Taking to Instagram, Georgia shared loved-up snaps of the newlyweds posing on a fishing boat moments after saying 'I do'. She captioned her shock post: 'James and I got married today.' '1st March will forever be the best day of my life - the day I became your wife. We eloped,' she continued. 'Guests: whoever could get here with 48 hours notice! Temperature: 6°C. Wind: 17 knots North Westerly. Location: North East Scotland 'To our family and friends who aren't with us, we will celebrate with you soonest!'
