I'm a royal fashion expert and these are the outfits I'm wearing to Henley Regatta
Henley Royal Regatta is the most prestigious rowing event in the world - the crown jewel of both the summer sporting calendar and the UK's social season. Attracting over 300,000 visitors each year, it hosts more than 400 races across six days of elite competition. The event also boasts a long-standing royal connection, having been granted the title 'Royal' in 1851 when Prince Albert became its first royal patron. Since then, every reigning monarch has upheld this tradition. The Regatta has also welcomed numerous royal visitors over the years, including the Princess Royal in 2010. Style is a key part of the experience, with two main enclosures offering differing dress codes. In the exclusive Stewards' Enclosure, a formal dress code is in place: women are expected to wear dresses or skirts below the knee, tailored jackets with trousers or trouser suits. While not mandatory, hats are typically worn. The Regatta Enclosure offers a more relaxed atmosphere, where attendees often embrace classic nautical looks, summer tailoring and elegant dresses. With this in mind, I've pulled together six outfits that are stylish, event-appropriate and guaranteed to turn heads - whatever your personal taste. Outfit one This fashion-forward ensemble features a striking burnt orange jumpsuit from Reiss. The cinched waist and dramatic wide leg create a flattering silhouette, enhanced by the sporty side stripe. Rich chocolate and gold accessories add a refined, polished finish. Outfit two Channel timeless nautical style with this striped shirt dress from Crew Clothing - a nod to their official partnership with the Henley Royal Regatta. I've styled it with a minimal straw bag, classic boater hat and tan knot-detail sandals to keep the look fresh and on-theme. Outfit three Polka dots are a perennial summer favourite, and this Sézane dress offers an elegant spin with its square neckline and skimming fit. I've paired it with complementary heels, a playful visor and a colour pop bag for a touch of vibrance. Outfit four This tonal look is built around Jigsaw's powder pink collarless linen suit, currently on sale. Burgundy accessories from Mango add depth and contrast, while a chic floral headband from Karen Millen finishes the outfit with a modern twist. Outfit five Effortless and easy to wear, this look is perfect for those who are short on time. The Boden dress features an elaborate blue and white floral print, supportive wide straps and a flattering tie waist. Comfortable espadrille wedges, a mini basket bag and bucket hat complete the laid-back vibe. Outfit six Take a cue from the Princess of Wales and wear a single colour from head to toe. I've chosen a sophisticated puff sleeve midi dress from Phase Eight, paired with Tabitha Simmons x Next slingbacks and a wide-brimmed hat from John Lewis for added drama. I couldn't resist the ME+EM bag - the pearl handle detail is stunning.

Subpostmistress ‘vindicated' by OBE but vows to continue Horizon scandal fight
A former subpostmistress who was a victim of the Horizon IT scandal said she feels 'vindicated' but 'the fight continues' after being made an Officer of the British Empire (OBE). Jo Hamilton, 68, was falsely prosecuted for a shortfall of £36,000 at her Post Office branch in South Warnborough, Hampshire, in 2006. Mrs Hamilton, who was played by Monica Dolan in the drama Mr Bates Vs The Post Office, said being honoured for services to justice by the Princess Royal at Buckingham Palace on Thursday was 'beautiful'. She told the PA news agency: 'I feel honoured to be honoured but the fight continues. 'We're still at war until the rest of the postmasters are paid, which is just awful.' She added: 'I do feel vindicated but I can't rest. 'You'd think that after everything that this is the cherry on the cake but I can't stop because I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my colleagues.' Mrs Hamilton continued: 'Everyone needs to be paid what's right and let everyone get on with their lives because we're all running out of road. 'I'm 22 years older than when it started, I shouldn't have to still be fighting.' On receiving the letter about her honour, she said: 'You can't mistake the envelope, I knew it was something important. 'It was lovely to receive and it's just another step on my journey to get proper redress for everybody.' The Government announced earlier this month that more than £1 billion has been paid out to subpostmasters across the Horizon-related schemes. Between 1999 and 2015, more than 900 subpostmasters were prosecuted after faulty Horizon accounting software made it look as though money was missing from their accounts. Many are still awaiting compensation.

EXCLUSIVE Couple FLEE swingers retreat after group romps end in disaster - with woman sobbing 'I really can't do this' in show first
A couple on Friday's episode of Open House: The Great Sex Experiment FLEE the swingers retreat after a potential romp ends in disaster. Tomorrow's instalment (June 27 2025) of the Channel 4 show sees Sharmayne, 26, and Jamie, 29, continue to explore opening up their relationship - however it all proves to be too much for the stay-at-home mum. The pair end up going for another date with Jen and Mark to see if they can take things any further... But it appears that Sharmayne still can't take it to the next level with them. In a first look, obtained by MailOnline, Sharmayne and Jamie can be seen walking back to their room at the retreat. Sharmayne looks glamorous in a black cut out dress, while Jamie rocked a black and white short-sleeved shirt, black t-shirt and matching jeans. As they caught up in the bedroom, an emotional Sharmayne says: 'I really can't do this.' Then the couple can be seen packing all the belongings up. Talking to the camera, Sharmayne says: 'I think this whole experience has been an emotional roller coaster. 'However I am glad that we've done it. We've got a lot to take away from the retreat.' And in a show first, Sharmayne and Jamie can then be seen getting into a black car which drives off into the night. It comes after Sharmayne broke down in tears after begging her boyfriend for an open relationship - and it seriously backfired at sex-filled party. After chatting to some of the residents as a couple, they separate and go off to chat to others as individuals. However Sharmayne wasn't very comfortable doing so. Sharmayne says: 'I think this whole experience has been an emotional roller coaster. 'However I am glad that we've done it' While Jamie talks to another couple, Sharmayne grabs him and tells him: 'I want to step out.' She adds: 'I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed.' He asks: 'Do you want to take a little break?' Sharmayne adds: '... of the situation, yeah.' The couple head outside and Sharmayne starts crying and she told her husband: 'I just feel overwhelmed. 'It's just a bit much for me, the whole situation.' He told her: 'We're not obligated to do anything. This is our journey.' Jamie asked her: 'Where do we go from here?' to which Sharmayne tells him: 'I don't know.' He tells her that the decision is in her hands. But Sharmayne confesses: 'I don't know if I'm going to be able to hold myself together now. 'I really don't want to do it. 'I just want to go home.' This isn't the first time that stars of the show have found it hard to navigate their relationship while on the retreat. A man vomited after being told he has to let partner sleep with another man. Couple Tom and Lauren were keen to spice things up a bit in the bedroom and expert Effy Blue told them that they had to experience opening up without each other. It all proved too much for Tom, who rushed to the toilet to be sick after being told what they had to do. After the episode aired, the pair issued a defiant statement as the shocking footage aired on Open House: The Great Sex Experiment. They took to Instagram to open up about their experience on the show with a video of them dancing along to Stormzy's tune Own It. Tom and Lauren captioned the post: 'Thank you everyone for all your support so far, our next episode is out next Friday 10pm, remember please be kind, we went on there to be open & honest and are both very happy together, remember they cut so much out for the drama xxx #openhouse #couple #reel #love #happy #realitytv.'
