Royal Heartache: How Music Heals Lady Gabriella After Tragic Loss

As a devoted admirer, I find myself compelled to share that, following the heart-wrenching loss of her beloved husband, Lord Thomas Kingston, at just 45 years old last year, Lady Gabriella Windsor has discovered tranquility and comfort in the melodic embrace of music.

At the invitation of the Princess of Wales, Ella, affectionately known as such among friends, is now serving as a patron for the charity “Restore The Music”.

The organization aids state school music programs, and some of its performers participated in Catherine’s concert last December.

The 43-year-old daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent remarks that music has a powerful role in fostering self-assurance, creativity, and social abilities – key components for learning. She is thrilled about the opportunity to be the patron of such an outstanding charitable organization.

Oxford graduate Ella is a singer/songwriter herself who released her first jazz music in 2020. 

After her husband’s passing, she has gradually re-entered the public sphere. Last summer, she attended the King’s Birthday Parade, and more recently, she was present on the opening day of Royal Ascot.

 

It’s Murder On The Dancefloor but a million in the bank  

Sophie Ellis-Bextor continues to earn substantial royalties from her 2001 song “Murder on the Dancefloor”. This is due to its inclusion in Emerald Fennell’s movie soundtrack, Saltburn, and its widespread use on the video-sharing platform TikTok.

45-year-old pop sensation has seen an increase in popularity with a fresh fan base, and recent financial reports from her live music company, DV Touring, reveal that it earned approximately £2.24 million last year. Additionally, the reports state that Ellis-Bextor personally pocketed a profit of £1 million after expenses were deducted.

2023 pales in comparison to my financial triumphs last year! I raked in over a million pounds more by the end of March 2024, leaving that previous year eating my dust. What a thrill it is to see such an impressive growth!

 

Actress Naomie Harris, famously known for playing James Bond’s ally, has expressed a mix of emotions over the aesthetics procedures that are required for her role.

As a die-hard Bond enthusiast, I found myself utterly captivated by the enchanting actress, 48, who graced our screens as Miss Moneypenny in three 007 movies. Little did I know that behind her glamorous on-screen appearances, she was battling a personal struggle – losing her hair due to frequent professional styling.

In the realm of film, television, or red carpet events, it’s common for someone like yourself to have their hair and makeup continually attended to while at work, as she clarifies.

‘That’s truly a blessing, yet daily styling with so much heat on your hair edges can actually damage your hairline significantly to the extent it might seem like you’re gradually losing your hairline.’

 

For over four decades, Taki Theodoracopulos, the renowned Greek socialite, penned a weekly ‘High Life’ column for the Spectator magazine, starting from 1977. This continued until his conviction in Switzerland in 2023, stemming from an attempted rape charge that dates back to 2009.

At 88 years old, his dream of coming back was put to an end last Thursday as his appeal against his 12-month suspended sentence for the conviction was denied. One acquaintance of his victim stated, “Justice has been served.

 

Lady Victoria Hervey, whose phone was taken from her by a mugger last month, decided she wouldn’t just accept the attack passively. Instead, she chose to stand up and respond appropriately.

She contacted the police after locating it to an address in London, but discovered that they couldn’t gain entry.

Yesterday, I, a fervent admirer, couldn’t help but share the thrilling news from the indomitable Lady V: My lost phone has miraculously resurfaced online in China! She’s urgently appealing to anyone with ties to Chinese law enforcement, asking them to reach out and assist.

 

Downton Sex spoiler alert 

Don’t expect any bodice ripping in the final chapter of Downton Abbey. 

The final movie from this series will be released in September, however, unlike Bridgerton, it won’t contain explicit or sensual content that its viewers have grown accustomed to enjoying.

In a conversation at the Haven House Children’s Hospice Ball held at the London Marriott Grosvenor Square, Julian Fellowes shared with me that Bridgerton has significantly more romantic scenes than Downton Abbey is designed to accommodate.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but echo the words of Lord Fellowes, now 75, who spoke of his childhood like the gentle caress of ocean waves upon the shore: ‘I was raised amidst the generations where love and life ebbed and flowed like the tides.’

In my perspective as a lifestyle guide, I’d say: ‘Instead of diving right in, there was a touch of old-school charm. We bid farewell to our guests at the doorway, savoring a hint of romance before moving forward.’

 

The final act hasn’t played out yet, as they say, with the remarkable story of Vanessa Feltz – famously known for shedding five stone through gastric band surgery and lifestyle changes – being considered for a lively stage musical adaptation based on her life experiences.

At the seventh-year celebration of Tina – The Tina Turner Musical, staged at the Aldwych Theatre in London, the host informs me that an American producer has reached out to them.

They wondered if I might consider participating in a stage play based on my life story, as there are many compelling aspects from my autobiography that could translate effectively onto the theater.

Vanessa openly discussed and provided a thorough account of her relationship with singer Ben Ofoedu from Phats & Small, going into great depth about their history together. When asked who might portray her in a film, she responded: ‘Perhaps Samantha Barks, such a charming actress.’

 

Very (modern manners

opting for a hen do in Ibiza or a destination wedding in the Caribbean may initially appear delightful, but it could potentially strain finances among friends and foster feelings of resentment, as humorously emphasized by comedian Grace Campbell.

In a heated response, the daughter of Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair’s former advisor, expresses her disapproval towards those who choose to have weddings and bachelorette parties at distant locations, stating bluntly that they should take a trip elsewhere instead.

As someone deeply committed, I find myself pondering this question: “Why is it that my special day is considered so significant that others feel compelled to sacrifice two extended weekends of their summer vacation to celebrate it?

Grace, 30, states: ‘Should you invite me to your hen’s party or wedding, arrange it in London over the same weekend. This way, I can fully commit one weekend of my year to celebrate your union, marking the absolute maximum I can manage.’
