A stunning photograph of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, taken by their friend Misan Harriman, has been added to the National Portrait Gallery’s permanent collection

A portrait of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has been added to the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery.

The black-and-white image of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex was taken by photographer Misan Harriman after the couple stepped down as senior royals and moved to the US. The portrait, captured at the One Young World Summit in September 2022, shows Harry and Meghan standing side to side while holding their hands as they both gaze into the distance.

Mr Harriman, who is a close friend of the Sussexes, announced on Instagram that the portrait will be placed on permanent display at the gallery in London. The photographer said he feels “humbled and proud” that the image was acquired by the gallery.

The photographer said he feels ‘humbled’

Mr Harriman took the image in September 2022

He explained that due to his dyslexia, he never thought he could be so successful in his career. He said in a moving video: “I am in the archive at the National Portrait Gallery and it never gets old that this extraordinary image of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is now part of the public collection.

“And as I’ve said before, I am a dyslexic boy who never really believed that my mind was worth much.” The photographer added he wants to send a message to the rest of the world, telling parents and children that they should never stop dreaming and do what they enjoy. He said: “Dare to dream and keep taking pictures.”

Many people congratulated the photographer with one describing the portrait as a “powerful image” that shows “strength, love and teamwork”. Another person wrote on Instagram: “Your visual interpretation of their path so beautiful and reverent. Every photo has so much life. Congratulations!”

One more commented: “I am so proud of you. You didn’t listen to naysayers, you followed your heart, set goals and continue to achieve. I have huge respect for how you stand for equality, equity and you do it with integrity. You’re a wonderful role model to us all and I love seeing you succeed.” Catherine, Princess of Wales, is a patron of the National Portrait Gallery.

Mr Harriman has taken several pictures of Harry and Meghan, including Prince Archie’s christening in 2019, their pregnancy announcement in 2021 and Princess Lilibet’s first birthday. Other milestone moments he has captured with his camera include the pair’s recent trip to Nigeria as he accompanied Harry and Meghan during important events including when they visited the Nigerian Armed Forces’ Defence Headquarters in Abuja.

Earlier this year, the photographer unearthed a picture of Meghan taken during the One Young World event. Meghan had initially attended the event back in 2019, returning in 2022 on September 5, three days before Buckingham Palace announced the death of the Queen. Writing in the picture’s comments, one fan responded: “Thank you for your steadfast support of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Especially towards Meghan.”

“I call this image THE ARRIVAL,” Misan penned in his caption. “The Duchess Of Sussex about to take the stage at the opening ceremony of @oneyoungworld #lightandshadows @royalalberthall. From my archive,” he added as fans filled the replies.

“Beautiful woman and beautiful picture,” a person wrote. “Wow! Stunning shot!” Speaking at the event in 2022, Meghan said: “It is very nice to be back in the UK and it is very nice to be back with all of you at One Young World.” She has not returned since.

EXCLUSIVE: Prince William is set to take up the role of usher at the Duke of Westminster’s wedding on June 7, but sources tell Express.co.uk that it should have been Prince Harry who took on a leading role.

Prince Harry declined his ‘save the date’ invitation to the Duke of Westminster’s wedding after discovering his brother Prince William was set to take a leading role, it has been claimed.

The Prince of Wales is set to be an usher at the wedding of Hugh Grosvenor and Olivia Henson at Chester Cathedral, which will take place on June 7.

Sources claim that by bringing William into the bosom of the event, Prince Harry is said to have felt sidelined and so declined the invitation.

“William was asked to take up a leading role in the wedding and that’s what triggered Harry to decline an invitation. It was the final nail in the coffin,” the source told Express.co.uk. “Harry was very close to Hugh growing up so everyone thought it would have been him taking up a leading role, not William.”

It was first revealed in December that Prince Harry was not attending the wedding, which has been dubbed a ‘Royal wedding in all but name’, thanks to its high-level of expected Royal attendance.

Last year there was initial speculation that Prince Harry had been ‘snubbed’ from the event, but a source close to the Sussexes was at pains to explain to US publication Page Six that both Meghan and Harry had in fact received invites but had jointly decided to decline.

While the statement ended speculation that Hugh’s wedding would see the brothers reunited face-to-face for the first time since the Princess of Wales’s cancer diagnosis, it prompted a friend to say it was ‘incredibly sad it has come to this’.

Harry was said to have called the Duke himself to apologise for any inconvenience at him having to refuse but his true reasons remained a mystery, aside from the obvious ‘awkwardness’ with his family.

“Hugh and Harry were very close so it’s all so sad,” the source said. “Harry was at Hugh’s 21st birthday party and also went travelling with him to Africa. He’s also a lot closer in age to Harry whereas William is eight or nine years older.

“When they were growing up Harry and Hugh were much closer. Hugh was a young boy when William was in his late teens and early twenties. That’s why this has all come as such a shock.”

A source claimed recently that Catherine’s name has not yet formally been removed from the guest list – which was put together last year, long before Catherine became aware she was ill – but warned that her name remaining on the list does not guarantee her attendance.

“William and Kate are both on the guest list and there has been no declining her invitation. But that might be because they have spoken informally. A lot is still up in the air with the Wales family,” the source said.

Catherine is well known to politely decline weddings, where possible, to avoid upstaging the bride.

Aides say that, with Catherine unwell, nothing at all in the Wales’s calendar is nailed-on. However, William’s decision to leave her side and visit to the Isles of Scilly recently was seen as a small sign that she may be doing better.

On February 27, Prince William pulled out of a memorial at St George’s Chapel Windsor at the last minute due to an undisclosed ‘personal matter’, even though his name was on the order of service. Three weeks later, Catherine released a video statement telling the world she was undergoing preventative treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.

Kate and William’s 10-year-old son Prince George, the Duke of Westminster’s godson, is also expected to take a role at the wedding.

The Duke of Westminster is also godfather to the Sussexes’ son, Prince Archie.

Known as ‘Huey-boy’ to Harry, the 33-year-old remains one of very few close friends of William and Harry’s who managed to maintain strong a line of communication with both sides.

The Duke – dubbed the most eligible man in Britain thanks to his £10 billion wealth – is also close to his godfather, Charles, and walked in the King’s coronation procession carrying Royal standards.

“It’s still not confirmed as to whether the King and Queen will attend the wedding,” the source said. “They have a very busy schedule lined up around that date so it will be a case of how the King feels on the day following a busy few days in France for the D-Day commemorations on June 6.”

The billionaire Duke is hosting the wedding reception at his 10,872-acre Eaton Hall estate in Cheshire where he and his bride Olivia plan to move as soon as they are married. They are said to be keen to start a family right away.

A friend of the couple said last night: “It means a lot to the couple to be getting married at Chester Cathedral, it is where they will be putting down roots for the future. They are making a conscious effort to involve local and regional suppliers in several aspects of their day. The couple are incredibly grateful for the support and messages of congratulations they have received, especially from people in the region.”

The Duke plans to run his family head office from London while Olivia intends to continue her career in the sustainable food sector from the North.

Family friend Emily Few Brown, who runs catering firm Spook London, an ‘ingredient-led’ catering company with sustainable credentials and an emphasis on growing and foraging its own food, is said to be lending a helping hand for the event.

“Chester Cathedral will be closed on June 6 for rehearsals and there will be a rehearsal dinner in the evening,” the source concludes. “The wedding on the 7^th will be very much about focusing on local produce and sustainability.

“Guests have been asked to make donations to the Westminster Foundation instead of handing out gifts and they [Hugh and Olivia] are trying to make it as low-key as it can possibly be.”

A spokesman for the Duke of Westminster declined to comment.

Three weeks later, Catherine released a video statement telling the world she was undergoing preventative treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.

David Beckham has picked Lionel Messi over fellow legendary Manchester United No.7 Cristiano Ronaldo as the player he most likes to watch.

WHAT HAPPENED? The former England captain, who is now a co-owner at MLS side Inter Miami, passed on his iconic shirt at Old Trafford on to the Portuguese superstar in 2003 when he made a move to Real Madrid. Beckham has always spoken fondly of Ronaldo, but it is seven-time Ballon d’Or winner – and now World Cup winner – Messi that gives the ex-Red Devils winger the most enjoyment when catching him in action.

WHAT THEY SAID: Beckham has told ESPN Argentina when asked which player he admires the most: “It has to be Messi. I love Leo for many different reasons. I love him because he’s a great father. I love him because he’s a great personality, a character. He’s a great person. But I think what everybody loves about him is the way he plays the game. He plays the game with passion. He plays the game just free the way he plays. And I think this past World Cup again. I think the way he played for his team, for his country and to win that World Cup was an incredible moment for him. And I love watching players like him.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Messi inspired Argentina to glory at Qatar 2022, allowing him to complete a remarkable medal collection, with the 35-year-old now hinting that he could prolong his international playing career through to the 2026 finals that will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico.

WHAT NEXT? Beckham will be hoping to see Messi play on for many more years, while the same can be said for Ronaldo, who is now in Saudi Arabia with Al-Nassr at 37 years of age but is showing no sign of slowing down and could be another to remain at the highest level beyond his 40th birthday.

DAVID and Victoria Beckham treated their children to a week away in a breath-taking £16.5 million waterfront mansion for their recent family holiday.

The very famous family made the most of the palatial 12-bedroom estate  called Casa Costanera, owned by their Latin superstar pal Marc Anthony, which features a hot tub and huge pool.

Alongside their four kids Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, Victoria’s younger sister Louise Adams and her two teenage daughters Libby and Tallulah kicked back in the lap of luxury after jetting into the sunshine state for the half-term break.

The stunning Mediterranean-style residence sprawls across a 1.3 acre lot in the achingly glamorous and private Cocoplum neighbourhood, in the prestigious Coral Gables enclave of South Florida.

Grammy winning singer Anthony, who is father to Jennifer Lopez’s twins Max and Emme, splashed out £15million on the swish pad last summer and it’s now worth an estimated £16.5 million, according to real estate marketplace Zillow.com.

David has been good friends with Marc since 2011 and the pair often hang out when he’s in the US.

The family – Romeo, Harper, Cruz, David, Brooklyn and Victoria all posed up on holiday

The 21,000sq ft pad has three kitchens, a commercial elevator, and 400-ft of waterfront with its own boat dock.

Its elevated pool and hot tub area with a large terrace and outdoor kitchen area proved to be an ideal spot for the famous family’s indulgent week of fun and entertainment.

Towards the end of the sunshine break, 16-year-old Romeo posted a photo to Instagram showing the family splashing around as David and Victoria shared a cuddle in the pool.

He told his 2 million followers: “Fun in Miami”.

During their enviably luxurious holiday, the A-list family took a trip to the Florida Everglades, checked out Miami’s hip and artsy Wynwood area as well as the famously pristine white sands of South Beach.

Posh kept fans updated with their adventures too on her  Instagram stories.

She posted pictures of a boat trip, where Harper, seven, and a friend had a go at fishing.

David, 44, has become a regular fixture in Miami as he prepares to launch his MLS football team InterMiami CF.

The huge house is just two miles away from J-Lo’s fiancé Alex Rodriguez’s own residence in Coral Gables, where the Hollywood A-list couple spends much of their time.

THE BECKHAM’s are back in Blighty after four months in sunny Miami, Florida. 

David, 45, Victoria, 47, Romeo, 18, Cruz, 16 and Harper, nine, are enjoying being back home on their £6million Cotswolds estate.

The Beckhams are back in their sprawling Cotswolds estate after a spell in Miami

Meanwhile Brooklyn, 22, is staying in the USA with his fiancee Nicola Peltz, 26.

The whole Beckham brood flew to Florida on Christmas Day where he was busy setting up his football team Inter Miami CF.

They’ll be able to enjoy their controversial lake which is now built after neighbours opposed the move.

A source said: “They are back in the UK and focusing on various aspects of their business ventures between the Cotswolds and London.

There are worse places to self-isolate after a foreign trip than the Great Tew estate

“They had to isolate when they got back but now they are settled again and the children are preparing to go back to school next week.”

And where better to isolate than their sprawling country home – kitted out with pools, pamper areas and even a footie pitch.

From star-studded soirees to quaint rural past times, we take a look at what they’ll get up to.

Sprucing up the place

The Beckhams bought the Grade II listed Chipping Norton gaff in December 2016 for a reported £6.15million.

Since then they have spent their time renovating the pad – and no doubt they’ll be spending the next few months bringing their grand designs to fruition.

The family has been busy renovating the country bolthole since buying in December 2016

They have built a lake – three quarters the size on a football pitch – with an island, despite the protests of neighbours.

Some worried the family would be “racing speed boats and shattering the peace”.

Last year David applied for council permission to build an escape tunnel for the family to safely leave the home in an emergency after Dele Alli was attacked in his home.

They were also given the green light this year to a supersized wine cellar to house 7,000 bottles of plonk.

Every day is sports day

As a family of sports fanatics, it’s unsurprising they have kitted out the mansion with athletic areas.

To pass the time they have an outdoor pool, a football pitch, a home gym and a tennis court to flex their athletic streaks.

The grounds have an outdoor swimming pool where Romeo was pictured splashing about with his model girlfriend Mia Regan last year.

Romeo’s £30k tennis court was converted into a football pitch for family kickabouts

The family had originally built keen tennis player Romeo his own £30k court in 2018.

But last year they made the decision to turn the space into a football pitch.

David even built a viewing platform so friends can cheer from the sidelines during family friendlies.

To keep fit, the family also has a home gym in the estate with yoga spaces and a treadmill.

And Victoria celebrated her 46th birthday last April by taking her new bike out for a spin, before enjoying a virtual dance party.

Chilling out

No luxury country estate would be complete without a bit of pampering.

And the Beckhams have their pick of unwinding activities to enjoy.

The family installed a plunge pool in their garden and last year David invested in an a igloo-style Estonian sauna.

The lavishly designed 6-bedroom mansion is the perfect place for the family to relax.

Fashion guru Victoria has made her mark on the property – with its simple but soothing decor inside.

The lush farmhouse has been tastefully decorated with exposed brick and rich interiors

The estate boasts exposed brick walls and wooden floors but is softened by luxurious rugs and velvet curtains.

The family’s farmhouse kitchen is kitted out with green cabinets and even a wood-burning pizza oven.

And the mum of four’s uber-organised pantry would put even Mrs Hinch to shame.

The country retreat might be a way to escape to the country – but there’s no escaping their famous pals nearby.

And the Beckham’s return to the countryside is the perfect time to get acquainted with the Cotswolds glitterati.

The estate is just down the road for celebrity holiday favourite Soho Farmhouse – where the Clooneys, Eddie Redmayne and Daisy Lowe have all stayed.

Gordon Ramsay and his brood came to stay with the Beckhams in the Cotswolds

Meghan Markle famously had her hen do at the spot in 2018.

Nearby in the Cotswolds, the family can also count Liz Hurley, Kate Moss and Zara and Mike Tindall as neighbours.

But their sprawling estate no doubt can host their friends coming from further afield too.

Last year, Gordon Ramsay, wife Tana and their five children came to stay with the Beckhams.

Country pursuits

David and Victoria often share pictures of them enjoying the countryside and enjoying peaceful walks with their dogs.

The family have also embraced more rural past times by farming their own veg and even building their own beehive.

The Beckhams have been buzzing for a spot of beekeeping

The Beckhams are said to be considering making their own honey after David went wild for beekeeping in last year’s lockdown.

A source said: “Beekeeping started as a fun hobby early in lockdown.

“But now David has become a bit obsessed.

“He has all the gear, and even built a hive.”

David has embraced country living by farming veg and installing a beehive

They have enjoyed getting back to nature with David and Harper last year taking to the countryside to forage for vegetables.

The dad and daughter shared pictures from their trip to nearby Daylesford Organic Farm in October.

City jaunts

Victoria has told how she creates designs for her fashion empire from the Cotswolds kitchen.

But she’ll no doubt be itching to get back to her London office after spending months away.

In February she told the Telegraph how David complained about bumping into her moodboards in their country pad.

Fashionista Victoria is itching to get back to her £31.5m Holland Park townhouse

And Victoria said she was keen to make the two and half hour drive to her Mayfair shop.

She said: “I’ll never complain about the stress again.

“I get withdrawal symptoms from my team and from seeing the models in clothes, with their hair and make-up – it’s always inspiring”.

Luckily the family have their London house which they bought in 2013 to stay in while visiting the city.

David and Victoria’s Holland Park pied a terre is reportedly worth more than £31milion.

Posh parties

The Beckhams love a good knees-up like the best of us – and their country home is the perfect location to host.

Given their history of blow out bashes, could the family have something special in-store for David’s 46th birthday in May?

In 2019, the family had a star-studded baptism for Cruz and Harper, which Victoria’s friend Eva Longoria attended.

Rapper Stormzy partied with the Beckham clan at Brooklyn’s 21st birthday

And David and Victoria went all-out for eldest son Brooklyn’s 21st birthday last March – reportedly spending £100,000 on the bash.

Staff erected marquees to host the affair on the 22,293 sq ft property.

They invited Stormzy, the Spice Girls, Gordon Ramsay and his family and DJ Fat Tony.

LAST summer, the sight of Jack Grealish being welcomed onto the stage by Stormzy at the Leeds festival drew cheers from the young crowd at the sight of two of their heroes.

Hours earlier, Man City’s faithful following had roared him on in a 5-0 rout of Arsenal at the Etihad.

But this was a different audience. One that knew Grealish as a pop culture figure and fashion icon, not a classy midfielder who can pick apart a defence with a pass.

Dressed in a Balenciaga t-shirt, Gucci shorts, and bucket hat, he looked dashing and every inch the desirable footballer that’s the admiration of female fans.

In that moment, it was clear the £100million signing had transcended the world of football – perhaps helped by universal praise received from starring with England in the Euros.

The current poster boy of the game, Grealish is on his way to becoming the next David Beckham, who embraced bold choices and became a model for fashion houses like Armani.

Jack, himself, has reportedly landed a major sponsorship deal with Gucci – less than a year after boohooMAN gave him a six-figure sum for a clothing collaboration.

There’s even an Instagram fan page that’s dedicated to identify what outfits he wears.

Style council

Hector Bellerin said it best when he described the current crop of footballers who dress to impress.

He told Esquire: “This new generation have grown up fully in social media where aesthetic is important, so for them dressing cool and expressing themselves in that way is important.

“I feel they’re realising that they are allowed to do that, and just because they’re doing that doesn’t mean that they’re less of a footballer or more of something. it’s just the way they are.”

Of course, footballers of the 1970s like George Best, Pele and the late Frank Worthington were in touch with modern trends.

But today’s stars, on the whole, are conscious of what happens next, when a football career is over.

David Beckham secured his future when he hung up his boots by embracing his good looks and combining that with modelling for the likes of Armani, H&M, Kent & Curwen and others.

Through his savvy business choices and mega profile he still makes around £15million annually.

And that’s the way Grealish is thinking. Like Beckham, he has shown he is not afraid to experiment with his clobber.

Remember, Beckham famously brought sarongs back when he was off duty at France 98.

Last year, on a night out with Love Island star Ellie Brown, Grealish was spotted in a pair of peach-hued trousers as they headed to Chinawhite nightclub in Manchester, drawing ridicule from some on social media.

However, it was that openness that encouraged Gucci to make him their next ambassador – the first footballer to receive such an honour – following in the footsteps of Harry Styles and Hollywood star Jared Leto.

He is said to being paid a seven-figure sum for the privilege.

Before that, it was boohooMAN who threw a reported £250,000 at the former Aston Villa man to collaborate on designs for hoodies, t-shirts, oversized jumpers and more Grealish-like garments.

Certainly, Grealish is the most talked about footballer when it comes to fashion since Beckham.

Who he associates with

Music plays a big part in the transformation of football god to pop culture phenomenon.

Beckham dated and then married Spice Girl Victoria Adams, and was a big fan of the Manchester music scene – admitting his love for the Stone Roses dominated his youth days at Manchester United.

He was even said to have helped the band reunite for live shows and was a regular at Oasis gigs through the 1990s.

Whereas indie was the dominant music force in that era, today it’s British rappers that rule the airwaves.

Grealish has fans in the genre and is name-checked by UK rap stars, including Stormzy who once sang the line, “Slide in the middle like Grealish” for the remix of his hit Sore.

So it was fitting that the Brit Award winner would welcome Grealish on stage fleetingly during his headlining set at the Leeds festival, and the pair would embrace.

Back in 2020, he also revealed his game day playlist, featuring tunes from Akon, Justin Bieber, Stormzy and fellow Birmingham boy Mist in an interview on Match of the Day.

‘Beautiful hair’

Ever-changing haircuts made Beckham front-page news, from growing his mane long long to getting highlights, then shaving it off and even trying out a mohawk.

There was a point in time where he donned an Alice band to hold it all in place.

Grealish, too, adopted an Alice band for his hairdo, that’s now copied by kids in school playgrounds across the land.

Back in February, he did try out a new haircut – visiting footballers’ favourite A Star Barbers for a trim, which went viral.

After lockdown in 2020, he even wore his locks in plaits in training. Again, that made the news.

During the Euros, Grealish was interviewed by Josh Denzel in the ‘Lions’ Den’ for the England team’s social media channels about his extensive hair routine.

Shampoo and conditioner, check, apply Moroccan oil, check, wax, and then hold with hairspray.

Like Beckham, Grealish wears No7 for the Three Lions.

Don’t be surprised if the boy from Solihull, outshines his number-sake in years to come as football’s leading fashion star.

Nicola Peltz is getting married to Brooklyn Beckham, and she is already smitten with her future mother-in-law’s style.

In a photo uploaded this week to announce their engagement, the rich heiress wore a £1,450 outfit made by Victoria Beckham.

Brooklyn Beckham’s fiancee Nicola Peltz has always dressed like Victoria

Brooklyn announced his engagement to Nicola via Instagram

It wasn’t the first time Transformers actress Nicola, 21, spiced up her look.

As far back as 2016, Nic showed the same sense of style in a little black dress, for a Vogue bash in New York – after Posh showed off similar style at a 2015 event in London.

Here, Clemmie Fieldsend and Siobhan O’Connor look at how Nic has channelled Vic.

Posh and Becks celebrated their 21st anniversary earlier this monthUnderwear as outerwear – but who wore it bedd-er?

The stars sported a similar lace look and both rocked it

Posh slipped into a Louis Vuitton lace dress that looked more like a nightie when she appeared in the royal box at Wimbledon in 2013.

Not one to be caught napping, Nicola wore a silk nightgown hot off the Versace catwalk when she attended Milan Fashion Week last year.

Instead of a hen night, these two girls should have a pyjama party.

Orange Is The New Black

Who knew orange would be such a hit for both ladies?

Years before hit US prison drama Orange Is The New Black, stylish Victoria locked down both colours for a stroll around Spain’s capital with her son Romeo while dad David was playing for Real Madrid.

Echoing Vic’s 2005 outfit, Nicola opted for a similar ensemble last September, stepping out in a Givenchy frock at the Toronto Film Festival.

Like the colour orange, the future looks bright for Nicola if she carries on dressing like Posh.

Gowning around

Victoria and Nicola love to kick back and relax in their dressing gowns

When it comes to being a fashionista, it’s not all about red carpets and catwalks.

Vic and Nic managed to look glam even when they were simply wearing dressing gowns.

Posh wore a towelling robe while cooking a meal for her staff in 2017 – and her future daughter-in-law mirrored the just-stepped-out-of-the-shower look last year while taking a mini-break with her mum.

Maybe they were both just gowning around.

Getting chained

Both ladies look simply sparkling in these chainmail tops

To welcome the new millennium, Victoria overhauled her look by ditching her bobbed hairdo for a pixie crop and changing up her style.

Her wardrobe overhaul included this shiny gold chainmail top that she wore when she attended a fashion event in January 2000.

And in October 2017, her eldest son’s fiancée wore an almost identical outfit at a party in LA.

Welcome to the chain gang, Nicola!

That suits you

For more formal occasions Vic and Nic certainly scrub up well

Fashion designer Victoria brought out a denim range in February 2010 ­– but there wasn’t a chance the style queen was going to dress down for the launch.

She wore a sharp tailored black jacket at the event in New York, while Nicola looked every inch the boss lady in a throwback pic from 2015 that she posted on Instagram.

Suits you, Nicola. And you too, Posh.

A nightie on the town

On nights out the pair rock can impress in lace

It’s not everyone’s usual attire when they sit down for a bowl of cornflakes.

But Posh was a fashion hit when she wore a lacy camisole for an International Women’s Day breakfast in March 2019.

Three years earlier, Nicola also donned a sheer lace cami. It surely won’t be long before the two of them enjoy a nightie on the town.

Claws out

Nicola channeled Victoria in Spice Girls’ video for Say You’ll Be There

The black catsuit Posh wore for the video of the Spice Girls’ 1996 hit Say You’ll Be There is one of her most memorable outfits.

Husband David, 45, said he told pal Gary Neville: “I like that one in the little black catsuit.”

Last year Nicola was pictured with a bob haircut like Posh Spice, seen here in a later Vogue photoshoot, and the actress was also wearing a skin-tight PVC catsuit.

The thing about rubber is it always bounces back into fashion.

Little Black Dress

No one knows how to rock an LBD like Posh

The Little Black Dress was Victoria’s signature look when she started out as a Spice Girl – and it has followed her around ever since.

She wore this off-the-shoulder number to Versace’s 1997 fashion show in Milan.

Nicola slipped into her own Bardot dress while out for dinner in Hollywood in July 2016.

It seems she would never give the cold shoulder to something Victoria has worn.

Short shorts

David, 46, shared snaps of the rabbit on social media, as he and daughter Harper, nine, took turns cuddling up to her.

“Good morning,” the former England footballer captioned a snap of the tiny white and beige bunny.

The proud dad followed up with a photo of his daughter enjoying a snuggle with her new pet.

It comes shortly after David gave fans an insight into his 25-year marriage to former Spice Girls singer Victoria Beckham.

The couple – who also share sons Brooklyn, 22, Romeo, 19, and Cruz, 16 – appear to have very different tastes in food.

The 46-year-old said he loves sharing his food but Victoria, 47, will only ever have grilled fish and steamed veg for dinner.

Discussing his wife’s eating habits on the River Cafe Table 4 podcast, he explained:  “I get quite emotional about food and wine, when I’m eating something great I want everyone to try it.

“Unfortunately I’m married to someone that has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years.

“Since I met her she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables, she will very rarely deviate from that.”

He continued: “The only time she’s probably ever shared something that’s been on my plate was actually when she was pregnant with Harper and it was the most amazing thing. It was one of my favourite evenings. I can’t remember what it was but I know she’s not eaten it since.”

Victoria has previously revealed she won’t eat food cooked in oil, butter or sauces, and she doesn’t eat red meat or dairy.

She admitted her comfort food was a piece of whole grain toast with salt on it and on her birthday she celebrates with a cake made from fruit.

Former sports star David went on to say he enjoys having the house to himself without the fashion designer or their four children because he can cook what he wants.

David shared: “Pretty recently I was in isolation for five days because I’d just been to Italy so I came back and on one of the last days Victoria’s parents had a party and I couldn’t actually go to it. So everyone was out of the house and I secretly loved it.

“I literally had two most amazing cuts of meat. One was a T-bone and I had some English wagyu, I poured one glass of the most amazing red wine that I treated myself to because I was on my own looking forward to watching the football in the afternoon on my own. So I set the barbecue up.”

Revealing in detail what he ate, the food lover continued:  “I think there’s nothing better than when you have time to get everything right.

“I had a nice tomato and shallot salad and the meat and a glass of wine and it was the most amazing meal that I had for a long time. Those are my most amazing afternoons and evenings.

“The wagyu was quite thick and I don’t like to brag but it was cooked to perfection … I put it on the grill and cooked it for six or seven minutes either side, bit of salt and a bit of pepper.

“I like my meat rare, medium at a push, but more rare and it came out perfect. And it was only me in the house so I ate it all.”

Possessing 24 million followers on Instagram and a fashion brand bearing her name, Victoria Beckham appeared in a famous Japanese restaurant with oversized sunglasses, her familiar image in public. Once nailed by her role as a singer in the famous Spice Girls, but now Victoria Beckham exists as a designer and a businessman in the fashion world.

Victoria Beckham’s day usually starts at 6 a.m. with a 90-minute workout, walks 7.5km on a treadmill with climbing mode, then works out with a personal trainer. Victoria got married 20 years ago, when she was a global superstar and he was David Beckham, a famous midfielder at Manchester United. Together, they have built one of the world’s most recognizable brands with an estimated combined value of hundreds of millions of pounds. Victoria and David were paid £30 million in dividends in 2017.

During that time, their relationship was always monitored by the media with many speculations, when will they break up? Are they in crisis? “Me and David, love us or hate us, we still work hard,” Victoria said.

From a music star to a designer

When Victoria launched her eponymous line in 2008, with a small collection of 10 dresses, there were many doubts about her design abilities, as Victoria never went to school. Today, the market is flooded with designs by stars, like Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty beauty line or Kylie Jenner’s billion-dollar empire. But a music star’s foray into design often makes people doubt the real possibility.

“I know it’s very difficult to pull people out of their prejudices” – Victoria says of her brand – “In the beginning, a lot of people asked who I worked with.” Roland Mouret, is a major inspiration to the Victorian design aesthetic, of which designer Marc Jacobs is an exemplary guide. “He said: if it’s made of good quality, people can say they like or dislike it depending on their taste, but no one can call it trash.

” If it’s made of good quality, people can say they like it or not according to their taste, but no one can call it trash.

That’s interesting advice. Her outfits are well-tailored and beautiful, although the design process has changed over the years, from designs using stretchy materials like Spandex to tuxedo pants and ‘sweeping’ jackets. coats’. The Victorian brand has passed its 10th anniversary with a show in London and dozens of headlines in leading fashion magazines.

“It was just the two of us when I started and it was simply a dress, now we have grown. It is not only a dress, but also a tailoring, knitwear, it has become a complete wardrobe, with accessories. So I learned a lot from the team and I learned a lot about business. I did something that I’ve never done before, so I’m surrounded by the right people and the team that evolves after every fashion season.”

Build a luxury brand

Despite a 17% increase in sales in the past year, Victoria Beckham Limited still had to report a loss of £10.2 million as of December 2017. In November 2017, Victoria received a £30 million investment from NEO Investment Partners, equivalent to a 28% stake in the business. Currently, Victoria’s fashion brand is co-owned by NEO, Simon Fuller15 XIX Entertainment and Beckham Brand Holdings.

In the investment that came with the appointment of a new chief executive, a process of adjusting operations and reducing Victoria’s power. “I’m not surprised at all,” she said. “It’s not surprising to investors either,” Victoria added. Sometimes reputation is a double-edged sword. Sometimes it’s nice to be in the spotlight. But that’s also the downside.”

Building a luxury brand is expensive. But where did the proceeds go? “We had no one to look after the production, the factory, the factory,” says Victoria. “I think from the very beginning, I spent too much on unknowns. I don’t think anyone has benefited, I just think my people didn’t know that they’ve fallen behind.”

If I want the brand to last 10, 20, 30, 40 years from now, I need to break even and then be profitable.

For the past ten years, Ms. Beck has taken the role of chief executive officer and now is a major turning point that opens a new chapter for the brand: “I never asked for this position. But I have taken on many roles. This is not a frivolous project, and if I want the brand to last 10, 20, 30, 40 years from now, I need to break even and then be profitable. We are moving towards such a strategy but this is not going to happen anytime soon…”

A new strategy for the Victoria Beckham brand Despite many changes, Victoria is still moving forward with plans to expand more stores. Along with that is “the focus of fashion on the digital aspect… because it really helps build the brand and take it to the next level”.

Proving this, in early 2019, Edward Barsamian, who previously worked at The New York Times and American Vogue, was appointed Editor for the Victoria Beckham brand. Barsamian will work with the Communications Director to create content that engages the brand’s audience. As can be seen, in the Victoria Beckham brand vision, content is recognized as a key component for direct connection with consumers, as well as continuous communication with customers and storytelling as one of the strategies. Marketing strategy to retain customers.

Victoria Beckham also added that the arrival of Paolo Riva as the brand’s CEO, has given her the opportunity to improve her strategy of developing accessories, shoes and bags. Accessories are a business segment that often brings a lot of profit to the brand. Obviously, a new CEO, a new strategy, promises many exciting things for the Victoria Beckham brand in the future.
