Real Housewives Of London launch date finally revealed in first look trailer - with surprise swipe at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Fans have waited patiently for the highly-anticipated series after it was announced last year.
The series, the third UK Real Housewives programme after the Cheshire and Jersey versions, will follow a number of wealthy and glamorous women based in the capital.
In May, the glamourous and wealthy lineup was officially unveiled, which features some very familiar faces.
Now, streaming giant Hayu has confirmed The Real Housewives Of London will be available from Monday, August 18.
A first look trailer released has introduced housewives Juliet Angus, Amanda Cronin, Karen Loderick-Peace, Juliet Mayhew, Panthea Parker and Nessie Welschinger to viewers.
Opening with a bleak, rainy London at the iconic Tower Bridge, the scene quickly changes to a recognisable one - a housewife dinner party - and the drama quickly starts to unfold.
For season one, fans will see Juliet Angus return to London to run her jewellery store, while celebrating 20 years with her husband Gregor.
Amanda Cronin's skincare line is booming, though her history with Juliet is set to cause friction in the group. The single millionaire is also on the hunt for a new man.
As her children officially flee the nest, Karen Loderick-Peace returns to London to live life on her own terms, while chasing the dream of starting her own fashion label as her status is put under pressure.
Meanwhile, Panthea Parker will leave the group of women reeling with her sharp-tongue and unapologetic opinions as a big birthday looms.
Taking on the role of the group's unshakeable heart, children's cookbook author Nessie Welschinger will attempt to play peacemaker during the series.
Also in the trailer, fans see Panthea, 50, who is married to a city lawyer and master of the City of London Solicitors' Company, instructed to 'not ask the monarch about Harry and Meghan' before meeting him.
While on route to the reception, she's given the orders in her plush car after she vowed to quiz the King on the strained relationship.

Vicky McClure issues four-word statement on Line of Duty rumours
Vicky McClure issued a four-word statement on the possibility of Line of Duty season seven after her co-star Adrian Dunbar said the show is poised to return next year after being left 'frustrated' by the finale. The pair appeared in Jed Mercurio's BBC crime drama as DI Kate Fleming and Superintendent Ted Hastings respectively from 2012 to 2021. Dunbar told The Times: "We're really excited about getting our hands on a Line of Duty script, to see what happens to us. 'Jed is writing. We've talked to the BBC." The series ended after the identity of "H" — a corrupt senior police officer — was revealed. "There's nothing to say," McClure told The One Show on Friday (1 August).

Love Island stars in shock as OG couple are brutally dumped just DAYS before the final
LOVE Island stars were left feeling shocked as an OG couple were brutally dumped just days before the final. It comes following Thursday's brutal double dumping which saw Helena Ford and Blu Chegini booted out of the villa. 1 As the Islanders were enjoying their final dates an unexpected text saw the atmosphere shift. Toni received the text which read: 'Islanders. The public have been voting for the most compatible couple. "The couple with the fewest votes and therefore dumped from the island tonight is Connor and Megan." The islanders were visibly shocked and Angel was the first to hug Megan. Connor and Shakira hugged for ages as Shakira joked about his singing career. "I've done this before," joked Megan. Connor added: "My time has come to an end and I loved every minute of it. "It's made me so many good I found someone." Harry replied: "You've done what you come here to do mate." During an emotional goodbye Megan explained that she had done everything she came back to do. Love Island fans slam Dejon for 'huge overreaction' as the girls play a trick on the boys Megan added: "I came back for what I wanted and I got what I wanted." Fans were quick to comment on social media and one wrote: "The producers are playing games because there's no way people voted Megan and Connor out "Instead of Meg and manipulative Dejon. I'm absolutely flabbergasted." Another added: "Bro they had me sitting on edge of my seat with that music, waiting to celebrate that Dejon and Meg got voted off…..just for it to be Megan and Connor." While a third said: "Absolutely sick that we had to sit through a full hour of Meg and Dejon not being able to stand the sight of each other. "And still get to stay over Connor and Megan who genuinely get on."

A heartfelt celebration of Graham Thorpe and a disappointing Indian send-off for Ben Duckett: BUMBLE AT THE TEST
Day two of the final Test Match of an enthralling series between England and India finished in the balance on a drizzly day at The Oval where thousands remembered the late Graham Thorpe. After bowling the visitors out this morning, Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett got England off to a flyer but the host's innings was ultimately a short one, ending on 247 early in the evening session. It left India an hour or so at the crease where they racked up a lead of 52 for the loss of two wickets, with captain Shubman Gill yet to walk out to bat. After a fascinating and drama-filled day in south London, Mail Sport delivers its latest edition of BUMBLE AT THE TEST. A heartfelt celebration of Graham Thorpe I was delighted to see the celebration for Graham Thorpe yesterday. It was a tragic end to his life but what a cricketer he was. Brave as a lion and popular in the dressing room. The trademark was the headband and it was never for show. Graham was the last lad that you'd think of who would wear one and it made me smile seeing the likes of Nasser Hussain, Michael Atherton and so many more, sporting the headband in memory of Thorpey. An eyebrow-raising send off Once the batsman is dismissed, that should be the end. Akash Deep should not have put his arm around Ben Duckett and KL Rahul did the right thing by pulling him away. It's the last thing you want as a batsman. That kind of reaction should only be saved after a momentous innings or a milestone. When Fred Trueman took his 300th wicket, the batsman was Neil Hawke and he came up and shook Fred's hand. They went on to become great pals! Bumble and rural living It is steam fair season in North Yorkshire. And there must be a connection between steam fairs and cricket because I keep getting recognised. This weekend, we've got the Whitby Traction Engine Rally and Hebden Bridge Vintage Weekend. Anyways think of the one and only Lancashire steeplejack, Fred Dibnah, covered in oil and soot. What a sight. August is the season for rural living and country fairs. A Tongue-twister on Aussie soil? As Sir Alastair Cook was saying on the radio, to play against Josh Tongue is an absolute nightmare because you can't line him up. He doesn't know where he's going so neither does the batsman! That means that he is unplayable. If Tongue can keep it together with his pace, he will be a real handful. The Aussies will be thinking 'This lad doesn't know what he's doing, so what chance have I?' Talk to someone, it helps In praise of Test Match Special and Jonathan Agnew, who is still going strong and quite an outstanding broadcaster. Keep going old boy. Well done to TMS for tackling mental health during the lunch break with some real thought-provoking discussion. We have problems in cricket and the bottom line is that it is good to talk. I know countless cricketers who have suffered. Sadly, it is a real illness. The greats impressed by Gus A solid welcome back for Gus Atkinson, who was by far the pick of the England attack. I remember seeing him live at an ILT20 game in the United Arab Emirates and don't take my word on it. Ian Bishop, Simon Doull, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis all sat up and said 'Who is this?'. At that time, Atkinson was getting the odd game for Surrey. He is more than capable with the bat too so make no mistake, he is a massive asset for England. Now that's village! To village cricket. The essence of rural areas. They don't play in leagues. They just play against each other. Now here's a story from this week when Arncliffe played Kettlewell in North Yorkshire. They had no stumps but found three in a derelict barn, so they put them in at one end and put a jacket down at the other end. At the end of the over, they switched it around. That's proper village cricket.
