Queen’s lady-in-waiting’s granddaughter model Maddison May Brudenell admits roots helped her career

Her grandmother Lady Pamela Hicks was Prince Philip’s cousin and lady-in-waiting to the Queen, and Royal model Maddison May Brudenell is certainly not your typical clothes horse.

Having worked for top brands since the age of 16, there were plenty of potential pitfalls to negotiate as she started out.

And she admits her blue-blooded roots definitely helped.

‘I was able to lean on my connections and therefore not have to conform so heavily to slightly unhealthy stereotypes,’ she tells me at a new exhibition by artists Dan Pearce and Cody Burridge at the posh 99Projects gallery in London.

Now 28, Mad­dison took time out to have three children with musician Olaoluwa Modupe-Ojo, but is looking forward to a return to modelling.

She is also a bit of a Royal influencer, sharing exclusive videos from the Queen’s funeral with her social-media followers.

And Maddison reveals her religious faith served as an anchor during that sad time.

‘I think it’s something that I shared with Her Majesty, so I’m really glad about that,’ she tells me.

No man, no cry, Kirsty Gallacher

Sports presenter Kirsty Gallacher is on the lookout for love – and says her dream man would be reggae legend Bob Marley.

Kirsty was married to rugby star Paul Sampson from 2010 to 2015 and she has also dated actor Laurence Fox and boxer Johnny Nelson.

‘I would love something gorgeous and romantic to occur, and it’s going to happen,’ said Kirsty, 47, when I bumped into her at Mayfair’s Metropolitan Casino.

Not even the annoying condition tinnitus, which means she struggles to sleep, is stopping her search for love.

As Bob would say, every little thing is gonna be all right…

Sadie Frost is feeling the pinch

Sadie Frost’s ‘hippy-go-lucky’ fantasy of practising yoga and living out of a car in India has been destroyed after a thief broke into her vehicle and pinched all of her clothes.

Producer and fashion designer Sadie, right, says: ‘I am now clothless… I have very few clothes anyway and now have none.’

The 57-year-old former wife of Hollywood actor Jude Law was so distraught by the incident that she has offered a reward for the return of the contents.

It’s a full moon tonight and no doubt Kate Moss will take advantage of the opportunity to bathe her crystals.

The 49-year-old supermodel uses them as a grounding tool during meditation, saying: ‘I love my crystals. I feel they really support me.

‘I charge and cleanse them in the moonlight.’ It’s going to be a long night…
