EMILY PRESCOTT: Meghan Markle’s wedding dress designer is set to unveil her new range for the high street
The designer behind the Duchess of Sussex’s wedding dress is set to unveil her new range with high street designer Uniqlo next month.
Clare Waight Keller, who has served as creative director at luxury brands such as Givenchy and Chloe, has created a capsule collection for the Japanese chain.
With top prices at £109, it will be a lot more affordable than Meghan’s wedding gown – which is said to have cost £110,000.
The September release date is just in time for winter, but I can’t see much need for the collection’s pullovers, trench coats and chunky footwear over in Meghan’s sunny California!

Julie’s strip for older women

She’s already seeking to drag historic houses into the 21st Century with her YouTube show about British stately homes and castles, but now US born Julie Montagu, the Viscountess of Hinchingbrooke, is championing another cause: the representation of older women’s bodies on social media.
Julie, 49, has shared a series of bikini photos on Instagram, left, saying: ‘In a society that glorifies the journeys and bodies of those in their 20s and 30s, we sometimes forget there’s a whole chapter of life waiting to be explored and celebrated.’
If that wasn’t enough Julie, whose husband Luke will one day be the Earl of Sandwich, also shared the secret to her toned physique – two decades of dedicated yoga.
It’s not too late to start!
They have had complaints about building a new road to their Oxfordshire home, so it’s no surprise to learn the Beckhams’ neighbours are equally as annoyed about plans to convert the roofspace in one of their barns into a home office.
One has contacted the council, accusing the Beckhams of using the home office as a ploy to get round planning rules.
The complaint reads: ‘Surely this is just a back-door way of trying to turn this barn into a residential property.
‘It is a barn and should remain so.’
