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

The multi-millionaire founder of style chain Jigsaw needed to get rid of objections from residents about sound pollution and congested roads. He was offered 4 months' notice in 2022 to stop hosting events at his ₤ 12 million residential or commercial property, Euridge Manor.

But, after a nine-day public inquiry, Robinson, 77, has actually been granted consent to continue hosting occasions on the stretching 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 permission,' a representative states.

When Robinson bought Euridge Manor Farm in 1980, it covered 200 acres, with a five-bedroom farmhouse, outbuildings and 3 homes. But the magnate extended the estate, purchasing 250 acres of surrounding land, and building an orangery with 2 bed rooms and an indoor swimming pool.

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

Neighbours grumbled about traffic, music and firework display screens lasting into the small hours and said the estate did not have authorization for 'change of use' in order to host wedding events.

After two planning applications and an appeal, planning permission has now been granted subject to a series of conditions to control sound and address highway safety issues.

No cut costs for Stella's clan

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

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

'When I was younger, my Nana took me to Paris because I wanted to be a style designer as I was doing fabrics GCSE,' says Sophie.

'We went to go and see 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.

'I 'd take 25 (percent).'

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

Anyone getting unanticipated FaceTime calls from Lily Allen for catch-up talks perhaps should not feel too honoured or thrilled - till 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 singer, 40, reveals. 'I send that list to my assistant and ask her to set up the time for me to have FaceTimes with them.'

In March, I exposed that Lily's husband, Stranger Things star David Harbour, had been having an affair with a colleague. 'David cheated on Lily,' an associate told me. 'They fulfilled on a movie 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 Woman).

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

'There have been lots of [recording] sessions where I've been asked to enter a box and one day I just believe, "No, say goodbye to". I will continue to write, however I am not writing music in the very same way.'

Duckface is a punchy visitor

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

The starlet, 60, admits she lost her cool at Arizona's Grand Canyon. 'I behaved rather severely,' she informs Travel Secrets podcast.

'I scheduled a "1930s cabin" - when I got in there I was like, "This is s ***". I said, "You require to move me". I'm capable of kicking up a difficulty.'

The Ritz played an essential 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, fast to contact us earlier this year when The Ritz was awarded great dining's desirable honor.

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

GP error? You can blame Lesley!

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

' [It's] the only time he's ever asked me to stop doing something,' she reveals. 'He stated, "At the surgical treatment I have actually got 10 minutes with each patient. And 8 minutes is taken up with what you have actually stated the day in the past. I'm concerned I'm going to misdiagnose somebody, so please could you stop?'

Tamara still has really bad practices!

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

Tamara, 55, participated in the costume tenth wedding event anniversary celebration of Sofia Barattieri Weinstein, co-chair of the London Air Ambulance, and her spouse, 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 an incredible example of when good friends demonstrate how much they enjoy their hosts,' says Tamara, who is wed to Italian business owner Giorgio Veroni. 'Incredible dresses, head-dresses, naughty lace, brocades and enchanted gardens filled with candlelight.'
