A very special royal exhibition sparks bittersweet memories for auctioneer Charles Hanson

Like many of us, I was delighted to learn that next year, to mark the centenary of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s birth, the Palace is to stage a huge exhibition of the UK’s longest-serving monarch’s fashion.

Forget today’s so-called fashion icons, for me no one summed up timeless style like our late beloved Queen.

So, I, for one, will be first in the queue at the King’s Gallery, next door to Buckingham Palace, to marvel at some of the 200 items of her outfits and accessories from ten decades of her life.

Her distinctive style, much of it created by her leading courtier, Norman Hartnell, was recognisable around the globe.

Her keen eye for detail and innate elegance helped bolster the British fashion industry and has influenced many designers past and present.

But for me the news of the exhibition was bittersweet as it brought to mind some of the most cherished memories I have.

Because I was both humbled and honoured to have met the Queen just a few weeks before she died.

In July 2022 I was invited to host a prestigious auction for the Queen’s Choral Foundation at Windsor Castle. It was an enormous privilege and – much to my delight – Her Majesty was in attendance.

It was a wonderful event and, during proceedings, I was fortunate enough to be

presented to Her Majesty. For me it was the ultimate honour. Occasionally, I’ve met members of the royal family but meeting the Queen was a moment I will truly cherish forever. We had a lovely chat and I am pleased to say I made her smile.

Like millions of others, I was rocked by her loss. And I immediately realised how lucky I had been to gain the opportunity to shake her hand – a woman who has played an outstanding part in British history. She brought stability, colour and joy into millions of people’s lives. If an exhibition of her wardrobe will help her live on in our memories, then I, for one, can’t wait.

Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style will be on at The King’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace, from spring to autumn 2026. See Charles Hanson’s new programme Secret Life of the Auction House on Quest at 10pm every Thursday evening.

LET’S TALK ABOUT SUMMER FLOWERING: CONEFLOWERS, RUDBECKIA, AND ECHINACEA Garden Talk

As summer arrives in full bloom, few plants embody the spirit of the season better than coneflowers, rudbeckia, and echinacea. These vibrant, daisy-like perennials, native to North America, are increasingly valued by UK gardeners for their hardy nature, prolonged flowering periods, and wildlife-friendly appeal. With their tall, upright stature reaching heights between 1 to 2 metres, they make a bold and beautiful statement in any garden setting while requiring minimal maintenance once established.

look out for is the ‘Sunburst’ range with orange bronze and yellow flowers each with a black center.

Echinacea, commonly referred to as coneflower, is particularly renowned for its medicinal qualities and unique appearance. My favourite Echinacea is E. Delicious Candy, widely available during the summer in most garden centres with a naturally compact habit with prominent coneshaped centres surrounded by colourful petals in shades of deep pink to purple. Echinacea is not only a visual delight but also a favourite among pollinators. Bees and butterflies are drawn to its nectar-rich blooms, enhancing the biodiversity of any garden.

Rudbeckia, another standout plant, is often recognized by its cheerful golden-yellow petals and dark central discs. The most popular variety, Rudbeckia fulgida ‘Goldsturm,’ with gold yellow petals and black centres, it is a mainstay in many perennial borders . Like Echinacea, Rudbeckia is a magnet for bees and butterflies, and its blooms persist well into autumn, providing colour when other summer flowers have begun to fade. Their robust stems also make them excellent candidates for cut flowers, lasting a long time in arrangements and adding a touch of sunshine indoors. Another Rudbeckia to

These plants also excel in terms of structure and form. They grow in neat, upright clumps, slowly expanding over time but rarely becoming invasive. This growth habit makes them easy to manage and perfect for filling gaps in borders or creating rhythmic repetition in a planting scheme. Their height adds vertical interest without overwhelming neighbouring plants, and their blooms provide a consistent display from midsummer through to early autumn. Another significant advantage of these perennials is their longevity in the vase. Coneflowers, rudbeckia, and echinacea are all outstanding cut flowers. Their sturdy stems and long-lasting blooms make them a favourite among floral designers and home gardeners alike. A freshly cut bouquet featuring their radiant hues brings a touch of wild prairie charm indoors and brightens up any room. In conclusion, coneflowers, rudbeckia, and echinacea are more than just pretty faces in the summer garden. Their hardiness, pollinator-friendly nature, ease of cultivation, and aesthetic versatility make them indispensable for gardeners in the UK. Whether you’re creating a naturalistic border, a pollinator paradise, or simply looking for reliable summer colour, these perennials are sure to deliver season after season.

Happy Gardening!

SOULOGIC — SKIN HEALTH DECODED.

SELF-CARE UPGRADED

Skin is the body’s most outspoken storyteller — part town crier, part crisis PR — wired to the nervous system and constantly translating life’s chaos into visible signals.

Acne, pigmentation, accelerated ageing — just some of the messages your skin sends when something’s off.

How you listen not only shapes what you see today — it sets the pace of how your skin ages.

Over-the-counter skincare is a £3 billion-a-year industry in the UK. And the bigger it gets, the harder it works to keep us chasing filters over facts.

It’s easy to get swept up in the fantasy of a global campaign. After three decades in beauty — including years as a makeup artist making talent look “flawlessly makeup-free” on camera — I’ve seen the contradictions up close.

But in all the noise… have we lost touch with the messenger? Between emotional stress, pollution, and marketing dressed up as science, it’s easy to see how the skin’s signals get blurred, ignored, or misread.

Let’s talk about acne.

The UK spends £122 million a year on over-thecounter acne treatments — and the sector keeps growing. These days, I see more menopausal women breaking out from HRT than teens navigating puberty.

Acne isn’t one-size-fits-all. When it runs in families, it arrives early, sticks around longer, and resists most treatments. But with the right approach, it can be forced to retreat.

Stress, poor sleep, impaired skin barriers, gut issues, and bacteria from phones or makeup brushes all play a role.

Quick fixes?

GPs often reach for antibiotics or Roaccutane, but both come with caveats:

n Antibiotics only suppress some acne types — and rebound is common.

The Holy Grails

n Roaccutane can shut acne down completely, but often leaves skin dry, tight, and prone to cracking.

The good news? With the right protocol, change can begin in as little as three skin cycles — around three months.

Home Care That Counts

Clinic work sets the pace — but home habits drive results. Here’s what I recommend to every acne client:

n Change your pillowcase 2–3 times a week

n Wipe your phone daily

n Move your body, immerse yourself in nature, practise gratitude

n Support your gut microbiome — fibre, fermented foods, hydration

n Drink nettle leaf tea to support hormonal harmony, liver health, and reduce inflammation

The Cardinal Sins

n Picking spot

n Sleeping in makeup

n Dirty brushes

n The college trifecta: late nights, pizza, and stress

HOW TO CHOOSE A GOOD PILATES CLASS

How do you find a good Pilates class and distinguish it from others? In this world where social media sells style over substance, don’t be motivated by an image of someone demonstrating an advanced Pilates exercise from Joseph Pilates’ original repertoire.

A great instructor should know not only how to demonstrate an exercise but how to break down and adapt these various movements in order to teach it to a group of clients with different bodies and learning styles.

Here’s a quick guide to help you find the right instructor and class for you.

Qualifications

A Pilates Instructor should have trained with one of the main reputable Pilates training providers (accredited to UK level 3 Pilates and the Society for Pilates Method standards) this ensures that they work to a Code of Practise governing class sizes (maximum of 12 clients) to ensure close supervision and support from your instructor. Ask yourself would you feel confident working with a driving instructor who trained in a weekend? Do ask the instructor how long they have been teaching, do they still attend a Pilates class or 1:1 lesson for their own practice? Do they continue to attend training regular courses to keep up to date with teaching methods?

Modifications & Correcting

Your instructor should be more than happy to give you an alternative – either making an exercise less or more challenging depending on what level you are at. If you have any injuries or limitations, don’t hesitate to speak with your instructor beforehand. Don’t push yourself beyond your limits. Pilates is a progressive exercise program, so it’s natural to feel challenged but not overwhelmed. If you experience any pain, stop the exercise and let your instructor know.

Everyone learns differently and progress should be at your own pace. Does your instructor use verbal and hands on cues to modify your position to optimise the exercise being executed. It’s all about the breath

Breath plays a crucial role in Pilates. Proper breathing techniques help activate your core muscles, improve oxygen flow, and enhance your focus. Your instructor should give you the correct cues for your breathing pattern throughout the class, so pay attention and breathe deeply.

Body Alignment

Alignment is key in Pilates and your instructor should talk about alignment, your pelvic position, ribcage, shoulder position, breath and head and neck position. Pilates will make you hyper-aware of your body’s alignment and movement patterns. You might discover imbalances or weaknesses you weren’t aware of before. Embrace this awareness; it’s the first step to correcting these issues and improving your overall movement. Give it time to see results

Like any new exercise routine, consistency is key with Pilates. Don’t expect drastic changes overnight. Be patient, attend your classes regularly, and gradually, you’ll notice improvements in your strength, flexibility, posture, and overall well-being.

Pilates

Matwork Classes

The most popular form of Pilates is matwork. Matwork is a more traditional form of Pilates, which as it has been developed has incorporated the use of equipment such as balls, stretch bands, foam rollers or magic circles. The use of equipment can be used to add stability or challenge you further.

One-to-One

Pilates Classes

Concerned about being the new student? Then a one-to-one class can be a good way to start. Both the session format and the exercises given are tailored to suit your needs and objectives. These sessions allow for greater progression and development and are a must for anyone requiring that individual attention.

I love teaching Pilates and watching client’s progress so make time and join a Body Control Pilates class today!

Mindset Advice WHY WE ALL NEED STRUCTURE AND ROUTINE

September’s here, and we’re all getting the kids back into their school routines. New timetables, structured days, consistent bedtimes. We know instinctively that children thrive with predictability. But here’s the thing – while we’re busy creating structure for them, when did we stop applying this wisdom to ourselves?

*The truth is, we all need routine.* Your adult brain craves structure just as much as your kids do heading back to school.

Here’s what’s brilliant about this timing – as we’re already in “routine mode” getting the children sorted, it’s the perfect opportunity to piggyback some positive shifts into our own lives.

Your Brain on Uncertainty

Humans perform better when they have predictable patterns to follow. It’s not just preference – it’s neuroscience. Research from UCLA shows that uncertainty registers in our brains the same way physical pain does. When we don’t know what’s coming next, our stress hormones spike, our decision-making suffers, and we burn through mental energy like it’s going out of style.

Think about it: how do you feel on those chaotic Monday mornings when nothing goes to plan versus the smooth flow of a well-structured school morning routine? That’s your brain rewarding you for giving it what it needs –structure.

Since we’re already in the mindset of creating routines for the kids, why not harness this energy for ourselves?

Six Pillars That Change Everything

Here’s what we know works, backed by science and real results:

**Sleep:** We all need consistent sleep schedules. Stanford research proves that going to bed and waking up at the same time daily improve cognitive function by up to 25%. Set your phone alarm for bedtime, not just wake-up time.

**Exercise:** Humans perform better when they have regular movement. A Harvard study found that consistent exercise routines reduce anxiety by 48% more than random workouts. Pick three days, same time, same commitment.

**Meditation:** Even 10 minutes daily at the same time creates measurable changes in brain structure within 8 weeks (Massachusetts General Hospital study). Morning coffee and meditation –make it non-negotiable.

**Gratitude Journaling:** We all need perspective shifts. UC Davis research shows that consistent gratitude practice increases life satisfaction by 25%. Three things, every evening, before bed.

**Food:** Humans perform better when they have regular eating patterns. Irregular meal timing disrupts hormones and decision-making. Plan your meals like you plan your meetings –they’re that important.

**Social Connections:** We all need consistent human interaction. MIT research reveals that people with structured social routines report 40% higher life satisfaction. Schedule your relationships like you schedule everything else that matters.

Your September Reset Starts Now

The kids are back in school, their routines are locked in – this is your moment. Stop waiting for January 1st or next Monday. Humans perform better when they have systems, not just goals, and right now you’re already in “structure mode.”

Pick one or two pillars above. While your children are adapting to their new school schedule, commit to the same time, same action, for 21 days. That’s it.

Your brain is literally rewiring itself to expect and crave this new pattern, just like your kids are settling into their classroom routines. By day 14, you’ll feel the difference. By day 21, you won’t want to skip it.

We all need routine – not because we’re boring, but because we’re human. And humans perform better when they have structure supporting their potential. Your kids have theirs sorted, now it’s your turn.

What’s your first move going to be?

AWhat You Can and Can’t Bring on Board: Food & Drink Rules with TUI,

Ryanair & Jet2

s the summer holiday season approaching, many of us are preparing to jet off to sunnier destinations — that often includes planning how to stay fed and refreshed in the air. If you’re someone who likes to bring your own snacks for a flight, you’re far from alone. With airline food prices often high (especially when travelling as a family), packing a few nibbles can seem like a savvy move.

What You Can Bring

Strong-smelling or perishable food

Jet2 advises against bringing items that are perishable, fragile, or have strong odours — such as seafood or pungent cheeses. It’s a courtesy worth following on any airline, as no one wants to sit next to a tuna sandwich for three hours.

But before you fill your bag with sandwiches and snacks, it’s important to know what’s actually allowed on board. Different airlines have slightly different rules, and some items could be taken off you at security or not permitted during the flight. Here’s what to know take-off.

What You Can’t Bring on Board

Hot food or drinks

Jet2 strictly bans hot food and hot drinks onboard. easyJet and Ryanair are slightly more flexible — you can bring a hot drink purchased at the airport, but only if it has a secure lid. They won’t heat or serve anything you’ve brought yourself. TUI allows warming bottles for babies only, so flasks and heated meals are out.

Your own alcohol

This is a frequent source of confusion. You cannot drink any alcohol you’ve brought onboard, including duty-free purchases. All airlines require that alcohol be served by cabin crew only. Opening your own bottle or miniature can lead to it being confiscated.

Meat and dairy (when flying to the EU)

Post-Brexit rules mean you can’t take meat or dairy products from the UK into the EU. That means no ham sandwiches, yoghurts, or meatbased snacks if you’re heading to Spain, France, Italy or other EU countries. Even airport-bought items might be off-limits once you land, so it’s best to play it safe.

You can still bring food on board — it just needs to be cold, well-packed, and odour-free. Ideal options include sandwiches (without meat or dairy for EU flights), crisps, crackers, fruit, cereal bars and plain baked goods. Soft drinks are allowed if under 100ml or purchased airside. Most airlines will let you bring food and nonalcoholic drinks bought at the airport on board. This is a smart option if you don’t want to rely on the often-limited in-flight menu.

Travelling with a baby? Milk and baby food, are allowed in larger volumes. Just be aware you might be asked to test or taste them at security.

Travel Smart,

Pack Smart

Ultimately, the key is to keep it simple. Cold, dry, low-odour snacks are your best bet. Always double-check airline rules and destination customs regulations — especially if you’re flying somewhere with agricultural restrictions.

A little planning can help ensure your snack stash survives the journey — and keep you flying happy from take-off to touchdown.

BATHROOM MOOD

Asimple mood board before buying all the items you think you like is how to create a harmonious, professional looking finish for your room.

Here I’ve put together a simple vision board for a bathroom, ensuite or cloakroom to show how the things I had in mind look when amalgamated. This is for a traditional home with some arts and crafts features.

I shortlisted a few wallpapers as I wanted some pattern on the wall, it’s one way to elevate the look of a bathroom and, providing the room is well ventilated and it’s correctly installed, looks fabulous. A small cloakroom is perfect to add some character by using wallpaper.

Having chosen the wallpaper, I looked for coordinating paints, I’m thinking of painting the door one of the darker tones. The ceiling and skirtings in the lighter colour, and the dusky mustard for accessories.

The unit is a beautiful wooden unit, luxuriously finished with a marble top, completed with antique brass hardware. I would add an antique brass towel rail, loo roll holder etc. rounding the look off. The unit can be upscaled or minimised in size subject to the size of the room.

The wall light really will lift this room and gives it a more personal feel beside a mirror. Overhead lighting can be quite stark in a bathroom and if you have the room, a wall light or a matching pair gives it a consciously considered feel. In a smaller cloakroom, just one could look elegant. The flooring is, again, sympathetic to the home it’s in with a light oak parquet style engineered

wood. This is timeless, doesn’t show dirt easily (with our busy lifestyles) and complements the vanity unit, finishing the room off.
