EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Wills’ mom and Kate’s bridesmaid back plea to heal rift

Rose Van Cutsem, whose daughter Grace was a bridesmaid at William and Kate’s wedding, has backed an apparent plea by therapist Julia Samuel for Prince Harry to heal the rift with his brother.

Yesterday, Rose shared a link to a newspaper article in which Samuel, a friend of Princess Diana who is godmother to Prince George, wrote about the dangers of “promiscuous honesty” and said: “We shouldn’t be venting all our feelings on everyone. “. people.’

Rose says of the article: “Bang on and brilliant as always.” It’s not the first time Rose, who is married to William and Harry’s old friend Hugh Van Cutsem, has commented.

After the Sussexes said they intended to “step back” as senior members of the royal family, she quipped: “I’m taking a step back as senior member on my tax return because I’d rather drink coffee, watch my friends, love my family and do yoga.’

House guru Beeny in a battle with the neighbors

She has been dealing with a grueling round of chemotherapy while battling breast cancer.

But, as if that weren’t enough, Property Ladder star Sarah Beeny has caused a stir with her latest landscaping project, drawing objections from two parish councils and being condemned by a neighbor as ‘intolerable’.

It wasn’t what Beeny, 51, and her artist husband Graham Swift had in mind when they began building their seven-bedroom ‘mini Downton’ on the 220-acre Somerset farm they bought for £3m in 2018. .

Part of his vision included a lake, to be created at the back of the house by removing large amounts of soil from a field. But there has been barely contained outrage over the way he disposed of the loot.

Beeny and Swift used it to build an embankment at the edge of a field, thereby increasing their privacy while at the same time decreasing the noise of passing traffic, at least the noise they experience.

Unfortunately, this clever piece of landscaping, for which the couple did not obtain planning permission, has been ridiculed by a local parish council.

Objecting to the couple’s offer for the retrospective permit, he argues that they have “changed the landscape for the worse,” adding, withering: “It appears that no design or engineering thought has gone into the creation of these benches.”

Another parish council says the landscaping has taken a sonic toll on those across the street. ‘The height and shape of the land bank. . . is having the effect of reflecting traffic noise towards [them]adversely affecting the living conditions of the residents.’

Two say the noise in their gardens is ‘intolerable’. Another claims that the couple ‘dumped the loot on good agricultural land and [are] trying to find a way out of a problem they created themselves’.

Kate Moss has caused a lot of joy on the Emerald Isle with a TikTok video posted by Vogue to celebrate her 49th birthday this week. It’s about why Naomi Campbell has given her fellow supermodel the nickname ‘wagon’. Moss explains, “We were in Ireland and we got a little drunk at a wedding, and I think ‘wagon’ is Irish for ‘drunk’.” So we were all ‘wagons’. During that time, we were all putting on shows, drinking lots of champagne and calling each other wagons. What Moss doesn’t seem to know is that ‘wagon’ is not a term of affection; used for people, usually women, who are particularly unpleasant, annoying, or unpleasant.

‘A TikTok user commented: Who will light it up?’

No smiles for the not-so-happy Sarah del Valle

Life seems to be imitating art for Sarah Lancashire. The actress, 58, received praise for her show-stealing scene as Sergeant Catherine Cawood in Sunday’s episode of the popular BBC crime drama Happy Valley, in which she confronted her sister Clare, played by Siobhan Finneran, in a Sheffield cafe (below).

Now, Lancashire has been spotted in a cafe, in an equally cozy puffer coat. For this outing, she was accompanied by her husband, television producer Peter Salmon, 66, near her home in Twickenham, southwest London.

The former Coronation Street, Lancashire star, who was born in Oldham, married Salmon in 2001. I bet the coffee was a lot cheaper in South Yorkshire.

Screen legend Gina Lollobrigida made quite an impression on Prince Philip when he met her in Sweden in 1956. “The Italian Naval Attaché gave a reception attended by both my father, Commander John Hamer, as British Naval Attaché, and the Duke of Edinburgh, a royal visitor, were invited,” reveals Eden Confidential reader Sue Brown. “Introduced in a row were Anita Ekberg, Gina Lollobrigida and Sophia Loren. Seeing them, the Duke turned to my father and said : ‘Oh, look… the continental shelf. How my father kept a straight face, I don’t know…’

Her account of losing her virginity to an older woman in a field has been described as ‘Jilly Cooper-esque’, while her description of what she does with her mother’s favorite Elizabeth Arden frostbite cream is unfit for a newspaper. familiar. But Prince Harry’s memoirs would have been more memorable if his ghostwriter had chosen poetry, says Anthony Joseph, who has just won the £25,000 TS Eliot prize for poetry. “I wish him all the best,” he tells me at the awards ceremony at London’s Wallace Collection. But he should have recounted his situation in a series of sonnets.

The name is Connery, Saskia Connery

Saskia Connery seems determined to prove that it’s not just a last name she shares with her late grandfather. The fashion designer, 26, invited comparisons to Sean Connery’s role as James Bond in the 1965 film Thunderball while scuba diving in the Bahamas.

As 007, Sir Sean (inset) traveled to the island to retrieve two stolen nuclear warheads. Saskia, who also works as a special projects manager at the Sean Connery Foundation, posed for pictures in the back of a small boat before diving into the clear blue water to explore a coral reef.

She boasts: ‘Happy days at the office.’

Good job if you can get it.
