Her Maj sat on the FROW The Queen turned heads at London Fashion Week Queen Elizabeth II broke royal protocol (and the internet) last week when she swapped the throne for the FROW at London Fashion Week. Her Majesty swung by 180 The Strand – the official home
of the fashion festival – before sitting on the front row for Brit designer Richard Quinn’s show. The 91-year-old donned a duck egg blue two-piece for her first-ever appearance at LFW and sat alongside British Fashion Council Chief Caroline Rush and US Vogue Editor Anna Wintour – who was branded
‘rude’ online for not taking off her trademark sunglasses. With social media in meltdown as to what the Queen was doing at LFW, the royal family confirmed it was to present the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design. They tweeted, ‘The Award, initiated in recognition of the
Fashion royalty takes on a whole new meaning…
role the fashion industry plays in society & diplomacy, will be awarded annually to an emerging British fashion designer who shows talent and originality, whilst demonstrating value to the community and/or sustainable policies. #LFW’. More of this, please!

Jennifer Lawrence apologised for Joanna Lumley slur A storm in a teacup? The US actress found herself at the centre of a media backlash last week when she was accused of ‘disrespecting’ Joanna Lumley, and now Jennifer Lawrence has said the Absolutely Fabulous star can ‘punch me in the face’ to make up for it. The 27-year-old caused offence when she called Joanna Lumley ‘a bit much’, after receiving a series of compliments during the BAFTA Awards. Apologising for the gaffe, the Hunger Games actress said, ‘I emailed her and said to her, if you want to come over
to my hotel and punch me in the face before we go to lunch, that’s fine. But she said, “I have no idea what you’re talking about, I don’t go on the internet”.’ Insisting that the slur – which was branded ‘rude’ and ‘discourteous’ by Twitter users – was an ‘inside joke’, Jennifer confessed, ‘Boy did that go wrong! I was at the BAFTAs for 15 minutes and offended England.’

Peter Andre’s wife Emily candidly opened up about her struggle to breast-feed her second baby last week. The junior doctor, 28, admitted it was fine with her first born, Amelia, four, but that she needed help with Theodore James, one.
