Fashion magnate John Robinson, who used Kate Middleton before she wed Prince William, has actually won a three-year fight to host weddings at his Cotswolds estate.

The multi-millionaire founder of style chain Jigsaw had to conquer objections from locals about sound contamination and overloaded roadways. He was given four months' notification in 2022 to stop hosting occasions at his ₤ 12 million residential or commercial property, Euridge Manor.

But, after a nine-day public query, Robinson, 77, has been granted authorization to continue hosting occasions on the sprawling 450-acre estate, where Poldark star Eleanor Tomlinson exchanged promises with rugby gamer Will Owen.

'Euridge Manor Weddings is thrilled at the grant of planning authorization,' a spokesman says.

When Robinson bought Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, sheds and 3 cottages. But the tycoon extended the estate, buying 250 acres of surrounding land, and constructing an orangery with 2 bed rooms and an indoor swimming pool.

He wed now ex-wife Belle at Euridge in 2004. After their divorce in 2014, Robinson registered company Euridge Manor Weddings Incorporated and began hosting ceremonies.

Neighbours grumbled about traffic, music and firework screens lasting into the small hours and said the estate did not have approval for 'modification of use' in order to host weddings.

After 2 planning applications and an appeal, planning permission has now been approved subject to a series of conditions to control noise and address highway security concerns.

No cut prices for Stella's clan

You may believe the name McCartney would open doors and curry favours - especially for a relation of Sir Paul.

But comedienne Sophie McCartney, a cousin of the former Beatle, states it does not cut any ice with Sir Paul's daughter, style designer Stella.

'When I was more youthful, my Nana took me to Paris since I wished to be a designer as I was doing textiles GCSE,' says Sophie.

'We went to drop in Stella. She was at Chloe at the time. I did get some sunglasses and a Chloe [bag] But that's it.

'But no I've never had any Stella McCartney discount rate.

'I 'd take 25 (per cent).'

Lily's buddies get a wake-up call as star says she ranks them

Anyone receiving unanticipated FaceTime calls from Lily Allen for catch-up chats possibly shouldn't feel too honoured or excited - until they've worked out its duration and the period given that the last one.

'I develop lists of people who I like in order of just how much I like them,' the pop vocalist, 40, exposes. 'I send out that list to my assistant and ask her to schedule the time for me to have FaceTimes with them.'

In March, I exposed that Lily's hubby, Stranger Things star David Harbour, had actually been having an affair with an associate. 'David cheated on Lily,' an associate told me. 'They met on a film they did together.'

Having been a pop star herself in the 1980s and '90s, Cathy Dennis went on to compose hits for Kylie Minogue, with Can't Get You Out Of My Head, Britney Spears (Toxic) and Katy Perry (I Kissed a Lady).

Now, however, she's fed up with composing for others. 'I am made with that,' states Dennis, 56.

'There have been lots of [taping] where I've been asked to enter into a box and one day I just believe, "No, say goodbye to". I will continue to compose, but I am not writing music in the exact same method.'

Duckface is a punchy guest

She knocked Hugh Grant's character flat out after being jilted in Four Weddings And A Funeral, and 'duckface' Anna Chancellor is almost as pugnacious in genuine life.

The starlet, 60, admits she lost her cool at Arizona's Grand Canyon. 'I behaved quite terribly,' she tells Travel Secrets podcast.

'I reserved a "1930s cabin" - when I got in there I was like, "This is s ***". I said, "You need to relocate me". I can kicking up a fuss.'

The Ritz played a crucial role in King Charles's life when he and Camilla Parker Bowles were imagined leaving the London hotel in 1999 in their very first public look together as a couple.

And His Majesty was, I hear, quick to contact us previously this year when The Ritz was awarded great dining's coveted accolade.

'I got a good little letter from King Charles, congratulating me on getting 2 Michelin stars,' John Williams, executive chef at The Ritz, informs me at the National Restaurant Awards, where The Ritz was crowned best in the UK.

GP error? You can blame Lesley!

Opera singer Lesley Garrett was a panellist on ITV's Loose Women for four years, but her spouse, retired GP Peter Christian, intervened.

' [It's] the only time he's ever asked me to stop doing something,' she reveals. 'He said, "At the surgical treatment I've got ten minutes with each client. And eight minutes is taken up with what you have actually said the day in the past. I'm concerned I'm going to misdiagnose somebody, so please could you stop?'

Former 'It-girl' Tamara Beckwith's wild partying days aren't totally behind her if this picture is anything to go by

Tamara still has very bad habits!

Former 'It-girl' Tamara Beckwith's wild partying days aren't totally behind her if this picture is anything to pass.

Tamara, 55, attended the fancy gown tenth wedding anniversary celebration of Sofia Barattieri Weinstein, co-chair of the London Air Ambulance, and her husband, Brian Weinstein, in Sicily at the weekend.

Beckwith can be seen surrounded by fellow partygoers dressed as priests and nuns in these images she shared online.

'It was a magnificent example of when friends demonstrate how much they enjoy their hosts,' states Tamara, who is wed to Italian business owner Giorgio Veroni. 'Incredible gowns, head-dresses, naughty lace, brocades and enchanted gardens filled with candlelight.'
