Sienna Miller has enjoyed an emotional reunion with her ailing father.
The Hollywood star, 41, joined her sister, bridal wear designer Savannah, 44, in New York, where they huddled around their father, art dealer Edwin Miller, with his sons, Stephen and Charles, from a previous relationship.
“For the first time in six years, we’re all together with our dad,” says Savannah.
‘A lot has changed in that time, with his declining health, but at the same time nothing at all. Love feels the same, as deep and true as it ever did. We may be oceans apart, but our love for each other and our daddy transcends it all.”

Although known as the sport of kings, horse racing would have little appeal to King Charles. However, Queen Elizabeth’s trainer Nicky Henderson says her son will carry on the royal tradition.

During a speech at the Fulham Road Picturehouse in London, he tells me about the unnamed director.
