Stylish canines strut stuff at the Greenwich dog show
The annual dog show took place on Sunday (25.05.25) and saw hundreds of owners and their stylish canines travelling from all over the UK to be reviewed by a panel of expert judges.
The event was open to "all dogs, big and small, well-behaved or wonderfully mischievous" and featured categories such as Waggiest Tail, Handsome Hound and Cutest Pup.
There was also the new Best Bridgerton Lookalike category that paid homage to the Old Royal Naval College site that featured in the Netflix Regency drama.
Tara Veitch's schnauzer Mr. Darbyshire won the best-dressed pooch competition as he donned a suit for the special event.
As well as the doggy catwalk (or should that be dogwalk?), visitors tucked into gourmet treats and posed for photos under the iconic colonnades.
The show, first launched in 2023, raises funds for the Greenwich Foundation to help preserve the historic site. With this year's turnout, organisers are already promising an even bigger bash in 2026.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's ‘Meet Me at the Lake' movie still has no director or cast
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's remaining Netflix projects may be on ice as their exclusive multimillion-dollar deal comes to an end. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced back in August 2023 that they were producing a film adaptation of Carley Fortune's hit romance novel, Meet Me at the Lake for the streamer. But Page Six reports Archewell productions has yet to hire a director or come anywhere close to picking a cast. Netflix is believed to have paid out around $US3 million for the rights to the book for the duo to produce, though it's understood little has been done to get the project moving. 'By this point, you would have thought they would have got a director on board and a cast. So what is the delay?' asked a Hollywood source. 'And when you make something for Netflix, it takes a long time for it to actually hit the streamer — there is so much to do in post production, to make sure it's ready for every country. If the deal is up this year, then when is this film going to be made?' The couple were also working on a documentary set in Africa — albeit without Harry, 40, or Markle, 43, appearing. This, too, may be on the back burner. 'What's the betting that neither of these projects will see the light of day?' said a source in the know. It was revealed this week the Sussexes' Netflix deal will end this year, and the couple may move to a first-look contract, like President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle's production company, Higher Ground, has. This week, sources were quick to tell us, however, that there will be more TV shows from the renegade royals. We have reached out to Sussex reps. Netflix has also been working with Markle on her As Ever range which includes her rosé wine, jams, tea and honey. Her show, With Love, Meghan, will return for season 2 in September, so that production partnership doesn't seem to be going anywhere. The Netflix cash has been reported to be $100 million, although it's believed to be closer to $20 million. It was, indeed, a big chunk of the Sussexes' fortune. So far, their biggest Netflix success has been Harry & Meghan, which debuted in December 2022 with 81.55 million hours viewed — making it the highest viewed documentary premiere for the streaming platform. 'Let's be honest … Netflix got what they really wanted out of the Sussexes — their documentary,' said the source in the know. Meanwhile, the docu-series Polo, which was released last December and executive-produced by Harry and Markle, was watched by 500,000 viewers and ranked at 3,436 on the Netflix ratings chart. Last week, the streamer announced that Markle's lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan, was at No. 383 in its semi-annual report, 'What We Watched', with a total of 5.3 million views since its March 4 debut. It was even beaten by re-runs of Markle's old show, Suits. Despite this, an insider pointed out that With Love, Meghan was actually in the top 5 per cent of Netflix shows — and had outperformed other leading 'lifestyle' shows such as The Great British Baking Show, two seasons of Chef's Table and Season 9 of Queer Eye. However, the Hollywood insider noted that Netflix likely expected the show to fare better given the amount of promotion put into it.

'It's eating me alive, I'm so embarrassed because every time I hear about this IVF miracle or that natural conception before / after IVF, I think that could be me, but it never is. 'I just wish it was easier, I wish I could be a parent. I wish this didn't take up so much space in my life, I wish I could have a win in this. 'I wish I could have our baby. I wish I didn't have endometriosis.'

In true Tanya fashion, the star also took a moment to share a series of snaps of her dog Butter Keith 'reacting' to the news of the newest family addition. butter keith Credit: @tanyahennessy / Instagram 'He's going through it… needs space and time to process this,' she wrote, posting photos of the corgi looking less-than-impressed.

Self-described 'naughty quilter' follows her own set of rules, and it works
More than 20 years ago, Sarah Stamm swapped an interior design career in Sydney for a life in the country, moving to the stunning gold rush town of Beechworth in Victoria's High Country. Now she is a renowned artist, creating exquisite pieces that her clients, including celebrities, display proudly in their homes. Creating bespoke, handmade treasures she then puts online for sale, Sarah's work is highly sought-after, with clients including Bec Hewitt, Kate Ritchie and Johanna Griggs. Sarah has been quilting for 12 years and fell organically into the medium thanks to the abundance of fabrics available to her at the time. Sarah refers to herself as a naughty quilter, resisting the strict and formulaic approach of the quilting community. "I don't follow a formula - I created my own, and this applies to all pieces I create," she said. "Throughout the years I've developed better processes and learnt faster, more economical and environmental ways to make my quilts and other pieces." Fabrics also set Sarah's quilts apart from others. "I love working with Australian merino wool, fabrics and faux botanicals, and I am passionate about supporting locals and incorporating their textiles into my quilts," she said. "It's sourcing the fabrics and being able to put them together in an aesthetic way, whilst utilising my years of design experience and knowledge. My quilts are made by an interior designer for interiors. "Everyone needs a blanket over the sofa, armchair or at the end of the bed for those cooler evenings reading or watching Netflix. They are an accessory to almost every interior and they should be as beautiful as the fabric in drapery or upholstery." Sarah works seasonally, the environment playing a huge part in what she creates. "It's amazing how often I look out the window and the quilt I am working on reflects the mood of the day outside," she said. "In summer I'm attracted to bright, character-laden, happy colour and in winter I am drawn to sullen, deep, earthy tones." A growing trend is seeing many of Sarah's clients purchasing her quilts as investment pieces, intended to be handed down. "I feel very sentimental and proud that my work passes through generations, as every stitch in my quilts is placed with care and plenty of heart. I am honoured to make treasures that last a lifetime and may even go far beyond," said Sarah. "My quilts age so deliciously, like a well-worn pair of Italian leather shoes; they take on the stories and in essence the form of the person that has been wrapped and cocooned in it. You can see where the stress points are on it, where the quilt has provided its comfort to the user."
