If we learned one thing from the royal wedding, it’s that Meghan Markle and Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy are a winning team.

So it only makes sense that when the 36-year-old Duchess of Sussex made a surprise appearance to honor Waight Keller with an award at last night’s 2018 Fashion Awards, she was wearing a bespoke velvet one-shoulder Givenchy gown. Needless to say, it was striking.

Markle accessorized the bump-hugging number with Tamara Mellon gold “Karat” strappy sandals ($550) and several pieces from Pippa Small’s Turquoise Mountain Afghanistan foundation collection: the “Nosheen” stud earrings ($60), “Oshna” bangle ($140), “Omeen” bangle ($190) and “Wajiha” bangle ($430). The foundation trains and employs young people in regions of conflict, a cause Markle holds dear to her heart.

The surprising one-shoulder number may have pushed the royal protocol envelope but, hey, if Kate Middleton can do it, so can she.

Of course people have sex in prison – I was one of them
When I saw in the news that Linda De Sousa Abreu, a female prison officer, had pleaded guilty to having sex with a male inmate, I probably wasn’t as shocked as the rest of the country. I wasn’t even surprised. Abreu has now been jailed for 15 months. Having served time myself, for four months in 2022, I understood exactly why these things might happen. In fact, I even had a very quick “bonk” myself – albeit with a fellow inmate and not a prison officer.

The Harvard Law-educated biographer Seth Abramson speculated Monday that Musk might be “going mad” in a setting for all to see—brought on by his growing stress, history of mental illness, and self-described heavy drug use. “I legitimately believe Elon Musk may be going mad,” he posted to X. “I’m a Musk biographer who has been tracking his online behavior for the last two years—and given that he’s a

Man will have to access home through £6m tunnel - after new road built next door
A pensioner living next to a new major road project will access his home through a 'private' TUNNEL - that could cost up to £6M. Brian Garlick has been forced out of his home alongside the A417 Missing Link - a three-mile-long dual carrigeway under construction between Gloucester and Cirencester. But he says National Highways has withdrawn an offer of £750k to buy the property so he will be stuck with it after the project is completed in 2027. And he said he was shocked at hearing the safest way to access his home when the road eventually opens would be through a specially built tunnel - costing between £4m and £6M. Without its construction, Brian won't be able to go anywhere. He explained that the tunnel is planned to be a quarter of a mile away from his house - but the details of its dimensions are yet to be decided. Brian, 69, who is currently living alone in a caravan park during the building phase must currently give 21 days notice to access the home he was born in.
