I’M SURE I wasn’t the only one glued to the documentary where Meghan and Harry opened up about how difficult they’re finding life. It felt – as the couple have long tried to position themselves – both refreshingly modern and a touch revolutionary, too. But while they won praise for talking candidly about their mental health, the explosive nature of the interview sparked a week of speculation over what had caused the rift between two brothers we’ve watched grow up together – and whether the royal couple could walk away from it all. On page 15, we asked BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond for his take… @hattie_brett / feedback@graziamagazine.co.uk…

I was most interested in ‘I’m glad I was diagnosed with ADHD’ (28 Oct). I’m a teacher and have been on courses to help with behavioural problems in class, including ADHD. Sadly, girls sometimes get overlooked because they’re more likely to have inattentive ADHD, which doesn’t have the visible behaviour that hyperactive/impulsive ADHD usually does. Isabelle opened my eyes to the problems adults have with ADHD. It cannot be easy, but diagnosis and treatment greatly improves the quality of their lives.…

PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES, STEPHEN TAYO THE CORE FOUR FASHION WEEKS – New York, London, Milan and Paris – might get the most attention, but last week we saw evidence that their lesser-known cousins shouldn’t be ignored. Showgoers flooded Lagos – a city known for maximalism, whether it’s print clashes, OTT accessories or new twists on tailoring.… And Lagos isn’t the only satellite city to take note of. The street-style set have been out in force in Shanghai, Seoul, and Moscow lately, too – with each city offering its own signature look. Seoul always has the latest cult sneakers, plus the most on-point mini-mes, while Moscow’s climate means it gives good outerwear all year round. Here are the four other takeaways you need from the alt-fashion weeks that we’re bookmarking now……

IT WAS LATE ON Saturday night, at about 11pm, when I got a message from my friend telling me to check Facebook. The Daily Star had published a story online about my job as a security guard at B&M, which I’d been tagged in. I was upset, but I tried to ignore it, hoping it would blow over. But then I woke up on Sunday morning to find that the story had become front page news: ‘EastEnder star works in B&M shop’. I couldn’t believe it. I sat in my sister’s bedroom, reading the paper, and I just burst into tears. I kept saying, ‘They’re all talking about me just because I’ve got a job, like it’s a bad thing.’ I was hurt, embarrassed and made to feel ashamed for…

Abortion was finally decriminalised in Northern Ireland last week, meaning women living there will no longer have to get on a boat or plane for a termination during one of the most difficult times of their lives. It’s legislation I and colleagues across the House fought long and hard for. When I stood up in Parliament and spoke about my own abortion, I can’t pretend it wasn’t one of the hardest things I’ve done in this job. I was the first MP ever to do so. AS TOLD TO ANNA SILVERMAN.

For the past three decades, since she modelled for Chanel and became muse to its late great creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, she has been at the top of any most stylish list. Today she has her own label and is an ambassador for French designer Roger Vivier, as well as working regularly with Uniqlo.

The Morning Show Jennifer Aniston stars as fragile breakfast news show host Alex Levy. The network thinks she’s too old to connect. Life at home (she’s married to Miles from This Life, FYI) is a compromised, luxurious shambles. When ‘screen husband’ Mitch Kessler (Steve Carell) gets embroiled in a did-he-didn’t-he #MeToo scandal, the wheels start to fall off. A very sweary, ambitious and amazing Reese Witherspoon arrives to plug the gap. Superb. Dickinson Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld cements her recent, brilliant career-high in Edge Of Seventeen with a turn as Emily Dickinson, the American emo poet of yore who still talks straight into the ear of women in higher education.

People traffickers must be brought to justice “News that 39 bodies – of 31 men and eight women – had been found in the back of a lorry in Essex last week left the country shocked and deeply saddened. They are believed to be Chinese nationals who had been trafficked in a refrigerated container. According to the National Crime Agency, the number of migrants being smuggled into the UK in containers and lorries has risen in the last year. The desperation of these people doesn’t bear thinking about. It’s a sobering reminder of the human suffering behind the figures – and how traffickers must be stopped and brought to justice so this can never happen again.”…

With all eyes on Meghan this week, what she chose to wear would not have been a decision taken lightly. And so, when she stepped out at the One Young World Summit at the Royal Albert Hall in a dress she had last worn in January, while pregnant, she neatly dodged any further scrutiny during a problematic week. The $138 dress in question was by Babaton, an exclusive label by Aritzia, a Canadian brand that features regularly in Meghan’s wardrobe. ‘By rewearing an affordable piece, Meghan is broadcasting her progressive credentials – she’s being thrifty, green and woke, a potently positive combination to combat some of the more negative coverage she’s had recently,’ says Harriet Walker, The Times’ fashion editor. ‘She’s also putting an end to the myth that women…

PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES I’M SITTING IN a shiny meeting room, magazine covers plastering the walls. It’s 2012 and I’m being interviewed for an assistant role at a fashion magazine. At 21, I don’t know much about anything – but I do know the man interviewing me has made a judgement about my suitability for this role within seconds of hearing me speak. ‘Where are you from again?’ he asks disdainfully. ‘Really? I wouldn’t have said you were from Kent.’ Feeling mortified, I clam up. What he was implying (and what I now understand as ‘accentism’ – discrimination based on the way someone speaks) was that I didn’t sound posh enough to be Kentish. Received pronunciation (RP) is commonly found in the Home Counties, but many in my hometown of Maidstone…

BUDGET-BLOWING weddings are nothing new among the A-list – and the last 12 months alone have seen their fair share of them. Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin’s diamond-studded reception, Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s three-day extravaganza, and Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas’s blow-out in a French château were all splashed across social media this year. But Jennifer Lawrence did things differently last week. The Oscar-winning actor married her art dealer boyfriend Cooke Maroney, and while it was star-studded (guests included Sienna Miller, Emma Stone, Adele, Amy Schumer and Kris Jenner) there was plenty of hipster cool mixed in with the elegance – and a total social media ban. The wedding was held at Belcourt of Newport, a former summer cottage in Rhode Island, New England, chosen for its privacy. ‘Cottage’,…

BELIEVE IN BREXIT? While PM Boris Johnson continues to wrestle with the EU, Ireland’s leader Leo Varadkar has said he wants ‘Brexit done’ by 31 October. The reason? So he can go see Cher perform in Dublin, naturally. The MP is a ‘huge fan’ and bought tickets a while ago. Here’s hoping he makes it, for all of us. Will Facebook play fair? KUDOS, AGAIN, to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who continues to prove herself as one of our favourite US politicians in a far from crowded market. Last week, the Senator grilled Mark Zuckerberg about Facebook’s ad policy. The politician and activist, known as AOC, questioned Zuckerberg about Facebook’s potential to manipulate marginalised communities in the impending election. She asked whether politicians’ ads will be fact-checked or vetted. An exasperated Zuckerberg…

ILLUSTRATION: STEPHANIE JONES HE TICKED ALL HER boxes: taller than her, environmentally aware, handsome. But just as Sarah was about to swipe right, she realised he was a Scorpio. She swiped left. ‘I know it sounds ridiculous,’ says the 30-year-old lawyer. ‘But I’m a Leo, and we’re just not compatible with Scorpios.’ Sarah isn’t the only person applying this logic to dating. Astrology, which looks at the placing of planets and stars at the exact time of someone’s birth, is having a moment. Online searches for ‘star sign’ have more than doubled in the past five years, while face-to-face demand for astrologers is so strong that the Soho House Group has even appointed a resident one. Dating apps like OKCupid encourage users to put their signs on their profiles, while…

‘MY MUM DIED’ is a frequently occurring phrase in my vocabulary. I don’t like that I have it, it doesn’t suit me. And I’ve used it so many times now I feel like an actor saying my line and concentrating on presenting the appropriate facial expressions. My mum, Helen, died of breast cancer. Throughout my teens and twenties I have often been very matter-of-fact about the whole thing: ‘I was six. She’d been ill for two years. It was a long time ago.’ As a family, we’ve never dwelled on Mum’s death. It’s not that we suppressed it – quite the opposite. My dad, John, will regularly recall a memory of Mum, and at every family gathering I’m told cheerfully how much I look like her. But it has never…

BOSS YOUR FIRST trouser suit isn’t something you easily forget. Like your first kiss, hangover or therapy session, the muscle-memory of how you felt wearing it tends to endure. Elizabeth Saltzman, the stylist who works with Jodie Comer, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Sandra Oh and Saoirse Ronan, still recalls the first suit she saved up for. ‘I was born in the ’60s so my mother, who was a working woman, lived in Saint Laurent pant suits,’ she says. ‘She was the person I idolised.’ Elizabeth finally bought a Le Smoking tuxedo only to have it stolen on the way to a Vogue photo shoot in LA. ‘I had all the cases in my car and stopped to pick up some white shirts. Everything got nicked,’ she laughs. ‘I’ve never been able to…

IT MAY BE COLD and grey outside, but inside it is positively blooming. The just-launched Floribunda collection from Liberty features covetable pieces from a dozen of the coolest makers and brands of the moment – all female – and all of whom were let loose in the Liberty archive. Their chosen prints were then used to create a limited-edition range of homeware. ‘We chose designers who are doing amazing things today, and that I personally love, who also resonate with Liberty customers,’ says interiors buyer, Bryony Sheridan. ‘The result is a contemporary take on Liberty at a time when there’s a maximalism movement.’ Included in the 110-piece capsule collection are footstools with kick-hems from Ceraudo. ‘We selected prints that were quintessentially Liberty,’ says co-founder Victoria Ceraudo. ‘We then added our…

DON’T BANK ON IT The pitfalls of using the bank of Mum and Dad (21 Oct) made me so angry. My husband and I will be repaying every penny we’ve been lent by our parents to help buy us a property and wouldn’t hesitate to remortgage if they needed their investment back quickly. I find Rosemary’s comment of ‘We’re thinking of remortgaging our home when we should be saving to have a baby’ so selfish. Why do your needs come before your (very generous) parents’? Danielle Evan-Cook HAPPY WITH HELP Wow, ‘Don’t judge me for my happy pills’ (21 Oct) is everything I feel and more. While I think things are moving forward with encouraging people to talk about their mental health, there is still a huge stigma with people…

PHOTOS: GETTY, LANDMARK A FRIEND – early thirties and single – is listing the merits of a man she works with, on whom she has a crush. ‘He’s amazing! Beard, smart, real social conscience,’ she says. Real what? I say. ‘Social conscience!’ she repeats. And that’s hot because…? ‘Because it is,’ she says, like I’ve questioned the desirability of a beautiful face, a GSOH. Me? I can imagine nothing less sexy than a man whose social conscience rates third in his list of admirable qualities, but I don’t share this with her because she seems so enamoured, because I have no desire to rain on a gal’s newly-minted reason to plan every day’s work outfit like the rest of her life depends upon it, and because there is no greater…

PHOTOS: ONE YOUNG WORLD, PA WIRE, GETTY, SHUTTERSTOCK, PA PHOTOS, EROTEME Meghan and Harry’s explosive interview triggered an avalanche of stories about the deepening rift between the princes. BBC royal correspondent Jonny Dymond was at the centre of the drama – here, he reveals how it had been brewing for months. Hard on the heels of two successful trips – Harry and Meghan to Africa, William and Kate to Pakistan – came an interview that blew all of it out of the water. ITN’s Tom Bradby is an old friend of Prince Harry’s; he’d documented Harry’s travels before. But no one expected such soul baring from the duke and duchess. Harry admitted he still suffers from mental health issues; he said that the cameras that follow his every move remind…

PHOTOS: GETTY IIMAGES, NETFLIX HE’S THE ‘STRANGER THINGS’ father figure we never knew we needed; she’s the British singer with no filter. So it’s fair to say that when news broke earlier this summer that Lily Allen and David Harbour were dating, it took some by surprise. But last week, as the pair made their red carpet debut and were spotted kissing at a basketball game, it was clear that – despite living on opposite sides of the Atlantic – they’re getting serious. Grazia has learned that the pair met on exclusive dating site Raya, though neither has officially confirmed this. The couple have now been spotted together several times since August, when they were photographed outside the Piccadilly Theatre. Then recently, things got serious: not only did Lily meet…

PHOTOS: GETTY IMAGES, SHUTTERSTOCK THERE HAVE ALWAYS been gowns on the red carpet, but IRL? Not so much. Until now that is. The kind of dress that shouts ‘Look at me!’ and could hail its very own cab it’s so capacious is having a moment – and can work for us mortals. This is partly down to Giambattista Valli and his mega gowns. Amal Clooney and Celine Dion’s favourite designer label has partnered with H&M for its latest and much-hyped collaboration, meaning his gowns will soon be accessible to women everywhere. Last week, the collection – which hits stores 7 November – officially launched in Rome with a show as elaborate as the gowns; held in the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj, a privately-owned house filled with paintings by Italian masters Caravaggio,…

FACE MASKS AREsuch a big part of a solo night in that you can barely scroll through your Instagram feed without seeing a new one on trial. But while they are an easy and affordable route to self care, like wet wipes, microbeads and plastic straws, sheet masks aren’t as easily disposable as you think – and their effect on the environment is coming under new scrutiny. Last week, Susan Stevens, founder and CEO of Made With Respect, a global platform that promotes sustainable brands, spoke out about the threat they pose. Speaking to Grazia , she explains: ‘They are made to use once and throw out, creating a lot of unnecessary waste; there’s a pouch, the mask and in some cases the mask is wrapped in a plastic sheet,…

NICKI JAMES was 19 when she began suffering from exhaustion so severe she could barely function. She went up four dress sizes, her hair grew brittle and her eyebrows fell out. For two years, she made trip after trip to her GP, who insisted that her problems were mental and prescribed antidepressants. ‘I knew I wasn’t depressed,’ says Nicki. ‘I was ill, but I wasn’t being listened to.’ After two years, in despair, she saw another doctor who ordered tests that revealed she was suffering from an underactive thyroid. ‘It took a long time to stabilise my condition because it had been left to run for so long, while I was gaslighted into thinking it was all in my head.’ Nicki, now 29 and a brand and business coach, believes…

I’m planning my autumn menu… AS THE LEAVES START TO FALL, and the mornings begin to bite, the crunchy, cold salads of summer are being replaced with a desire for warmer, nourishing meals. But who has the time to make complicated casseroles or 15-ingredient curries? Not me. Which is why I was delighted to accept an invitation to a ‘batch cooking’ class with nutritional therapist Amelia Freer, who is the wellness expert at Lime Wood hotel. The aim? To make delicious autumnal food that won’t have me poring over recipes until midnight. Here’s what I learned… Plan ahead I know it’s as boring and obvious as ‘eat less to lose weight’ and ‘go to the gym to get fit’, but it’s also important to ‘plan your meals’ if you want…

PHOTOS: MARCO VITTUR. FOOD STYLING: NENAFOSTER (NENAFOSTERFOOD.COM) WE CAMPED IN Yosemite once and some raccoons slunk into our tent in the dark. I thought it was my husband and told him to shut up. The next morning, I saw the telltale paw prints on my fleece and a neighbour said he’d seen a gang of them rummaging in the bins. A gaze, in fact. It’s a gaze of raccoons. Gazes of raccoons, Californian Pinot in red plastic cups and scenery straight from an iOS update or a Netflix bouldering documentary – this was America. But what made it the most America was something so alluring it had rendered us moronic. When booking this idyllic getaway, we’d selected the roasty toasty package, an irresistibly cutesy bundle that included firewood and s’mores…

PHOTO: APPLETV/LMK AN AWFUL lot has happened since Netflix launched its first original content, House Of Cards. The idea of a premium Hollywood director making longform television once felt expensive, elite and new. Now they’re all at it and streaming has entered our bones. But while Netflix has been given its own special complex verb (netflix’n’chill), as a sign of its brand supremacy, the streaming wars are now on. Next month, Disney+ joins Amazon Prime on the Netflix offensive. Not long after, the US network responsible for The Sopranos, Sex And The City, Girls and Game Of Thrones will turn into the Savile Row of streaming portals, launching HBO Max. The first of the big power moves comes into play with the launch of AppleTV+. The tech giant has a…

The Mercury Retrograde Book by Yasmin Boland & Kim Farnell Mercury will enter retrograde – when the planet appears to move in the opposite direction to Earth – on 31 October. In astrology, Mercury governs communication, so retrograde is believed to cause havoc. But by understanding its patterns, you can harness how you can use it for repair and renewal. Hold fire on big decision A retrograde Mercury is the universe telling you that you’re not ready – let the cycle unfold and see what transpires before you act. Use it as an opportunity to reflect on the past or a difficult situation you’re faced with. Going backwards can bring on a more productive phase.…

HAILEE STEINFELD AS TOLD TO GUY PEWSEY.

Towards the end of the week, it all sort of starts to hit me, so the end of my day can consist of very little. I filmed Dickinson [about American poet Emily Dickinson] in New York but I’m based in LA, which is kind of tough. It’s not worth going back because you’re in in the air for longer than you’re on the ground. You have to debate whether or not staying in some creepy hotel is worth it. Most of the time, I do nothing after work.…
