EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Poppy Delevinge and her pals take her bump out for brunch By STEPHANIE TAKYI Published: 20:50 EDT, 15 April 2025 | Updated: 20:50 EDT, 15 April 2025 e-mail View comments Poppy Delevingne is due to give birth in May to her first child with boyfriend Archie Keswick – but that hasn’t put a stop to her life as a social butterfly. The actress and model, 38, hosted a brunch yesterday at The Orangery in London to celebrate her collaboration with online fashion brand Nobody’s Child. She was joined by pals including socialite Alice Naylor-Leyland, DJ Lady Mary Charteris and actress Lady Clara Paget, who all could be seen huddling in with her for a selfie.
Actresses Josephine de La Baume and Jaime Winstone also joined in, wearing identical denim jackets, left – all in the name of style, of course. Poppy Delevingne hosted brunch yesterday at The Orangery in London to celebrate her collaboration with online fashion brand Nobody’s Child Jodie Kidd shudders at the idea of packing her son Indio, 13, off to boarding school. The 46-year-old modelturned publican boarded at now closed St Michael’s School in Petworth, West Sussex, and reveals: ‘I probably have loads of abandonment issues.
You were dropped off and that was it. If Indy wanted to go to boarding school I’d be mortified.’ Lordy! Emma, 83, to wed Critics claim the House of Lords is a gilded day centre for octogenarians who snooze through debates.
But there’s action beneath the ermine if you know where to look – as Baroness Nicholson demonstrates splendidly. Emma Nicholson, as she’s better known, has just become engaged – at 83. ‘We met at one of the Reform Club’s musical events,’ Nicholson tells me from Utah, where she’s immersed in discussions between her charity, the Amar Foundation, and its US counterpart.
Her fiancé is widower Brian Plunkett, a trichologist from Bedfordshire and, at 79, something of a toyboy. ‘We hope to be married by Bishop Alastair Redfern in early September in London, to give our large families time to come together,’ adds Nicholson, whose first husband died in 1999. ‘We are enormously happy.
’ Prue Leith seems far from proud to be British. The South African-born chef and broadcaster, 85, recently visited Turkmenistan, central Asia. Praising its capital, she says: ‘Ashgabat astonished me – a beautiful city.
These countries make you ashamed to be British.’ Dame Prue, who became a UK citizen in 1995, explains: ‘If you walk around London it’s absolutely filthy.’ Where’s the love, Meghan? He's known as the ‘godfather of hospitality’, but Robert Walton refuses to give With Love, Meghan – the Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix lifestyle and cookery series – his blessing.
‘There’s no love there,’ he says at the International Restaurateurs’ 8 Hand Dinner, sponsored by Visit Malta and Neft Vodka, at London’s Rosewood Hotel. Walton, president of the Restaurant Association, is married to fashion designer Donna Ida (pictured at the dinner). He tells me: ‘We can all make jam, and we can bake some bread – if you are in that position where you’ve got a $100million Netflix deal, you can make it look very pretty.
But it takes people in this field years of grafting to become good, and that’s what we should be instilling in the next generation.’ The ‘godfather of hospitality’ Robert Walton refuses to give With Love, Meghan – the Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix lifestyle and cookery series – his blessing Jameela Jamil’s new career in comedy could be no laughing matter. Next month, the British actress, 39, who starred in the US TV series The Good Place, is starting a comedy podcast.
But she doesn’t seem hopeful, saying: ‘This could be a disastrous flop. The odds are not in my favour.’ London Poppy Delevingne Share or comment on this article: EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Poppy Delevinge and her pals take her bump out for brunch e-mail Add comment Comments 0 Share what you think No comments have so far been submitted.
