With his health-conscious fiancee now ensconced in his Kensington pad, Prince Harry is having to reassess his lifestyle. And the first thing the party-loving prince has had to confront is his love for a cheeky cigarette.
Officially, smoking is outlawed at Nottingham Cottage but Harry tended to relax the rules when a dinner party was in full swing. But now that Meghan is by his side, the Marlboro Lights are off the menu for good.
‘Harry has promised no smoking at all at home. It’s not nice for Meghan as a non-smoker,’ says a pal. ‘So there’s no more hanging out of the window for a quick puff. Harry has quit for Meghan.

If Harry was hoping that ‘court jester’ Guy Pelly would be organising his stag party at his Mexican-themed Chelsea nightclub Tonteria, he will be sadly disappointed. Guy, 35, is giving up the business to become a property developer instead.
Harry’s other close pal, Mark Dyer, recently sold his Chelsea pubs The Brown Cow, Sands End, The Cross Keys, so it looks like any party-hosting duties will fall to Jake Parkinson-Smith. Jake owns one of the Prince’s favourite haunts, Albert’s, named after Queen Victoria’s husband. A stone’s throw from Kensington Palace, the members-only basement club is a favourite of Meghan too.
Russell Brand is planning a new festival to rival the Henley Royal Regatta next summer but it will be missing two vital ingredients… booze and boats. I can reveal that the newly married father of one, who has a Thameside mansion, is planning a feast of yoga and talks called Beyonder. Instead of Pimm’s, rowing and raving, his festival will encourage a regimen of meditation and reading.
‘You go to most festivals to get off your head. This one, you go to get on your head,’ said the 42-year-old. Yes, but where’s the fun in that, Russell?
Love? No just lunch, actually
Finally Andrew Lincoln and Keira Knightley have been on a date! I, along with the rest of the nation, have been willing them – or their Love Actually characters at least – to get together since Richard Curtis’s rom-com became an instant Christmas classic 14 years ago.
In the film, Andrew’s character declares his love for Kiera’s Juliet using cards – but as she was married to his best friend his advances were rebuffed, albeit with a cheeky kiss
But last week the pair got together after a fan bid thousands to create the moment, which took place at Richard’s home and was dubbed Lunch Actually

But last week the pair got together after a fan bid thousands to create the moment, which took place at Richard’s home and was dubbed Lunch Actually.
Even Richard’s wife Emma – pictured in between the actors – was in shock, writing on Instagram: ‘Can you imagine… lunch with Keira Knightley and Andrew Lincoln!’ The money went to Red Nose Day USA.
Her husband Daniel Craig is said to have agreed a deal worth up to £100 million to star in one last Bond film, but that didn’t stop Rachel Weisz rifling through some musty bins of clothes in New York’s East Village last week.
The Mummy star was spotted ‘thrifting’ – the hipster hobby of trawling flea markets – with her stylist pal Bay Garnett, as my picture of her modelling a vintage coat shows, above. Surely, the designer boutiques of Fifth Avenue are more your thing, Rachel?
Nigel Farage ’s ex-mistress Annabelle Fuller is selling a love token he gave her as a birthday gift after declaring it ‘a noose around my neck’. Annabelle, pictured right wearing the emerald cut sapphire necklace, is selling the jewellery on eBay for a giveaway £450.

‘It reminds me of Nigel and how much control he had over me,’ says the 36-year-old. This newspaper revealed last month how Farage begged Annabelle to keep their 12-year affair quiet until after the Brexit vote. She is set to use the money from the sale to help fund her paramedic science degree.
