Julia Samuel, pictured receiving an MBE from Prince William in 2016, has discovered her father, James Guinness, was not her parent

As an acclaimed psychotherapist, Julia Samuel is accustomed to helping people overcome difficult personal problems and challenges.

Now I can reveal that Prince George’s godmother is having to reassess one of the most important relationships in her life.

Julia, a close friend of Princess Diana, has discovered that her father, James Guinness, was not in fact her parent. “Yes, James Guinness is not my biological father, although I consider him my father,” she confirms.

The shocking discovery came long after the death of her mother, former model Pauline Mander, in 2017. James, a member of the Guinness family banking group who served in the Royal Navy in World War II, died in 2017. 2006.

The couple owned houses in London, Hampshire and St. Tropez. I understand that the truth came to light during the division of her parents’ assets.

“It came to light a number of years after my parents died, and I didn’t inherit a farm,” Julia confirms.

However, she is unable to achieve ‘closure’, as therapists might say, because it has not been possible to discover the identity of her biological parent. “I don’t know who my biological father is,” she tells me.

Similarly, the discovery means Julia, 65, who is married to Michael Samuel, of the Hill Samuel banking family, does not know which of her three sisters or brother are full siblings.

They include Sabrina Guinness, a former friend of King Charles who is now married to Oscar-winning playwright Sir Tom Stoppard, and Hugo Guinness, the artist, illustrator and writer best known for his collaboration with American film director Wes Anderson .

It is not the first time that the family has faced shocking upheavals.

Julia’s brother-in-law Amschel Rothschild, who was married to her sister Anita, was found dead by his own hand in Paris in 1996 at the age of 41. The couple’s children include Kate Rothschild, who married financier Ben Goldsmith, and Alice, who married his brother, former Tory minister Lord (Zac) Goldsmith.

Last year Julia, who appears on the Therapy Works podcast, suffered a ‘broken shoulder’ in a skiing accident and was subsequently struck down with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a rare neurological condition.

She was left with a black spot over her left eye, and that side of her face drooped as if she might have had a stroke.

India, 57, impresses in swimsuit

India Hicks unveils her first-ever swimwear collection

India Hicks unveils her first-ever swimwear collection

Never burdened by inhibitions, the irrepressible India Hicks unveils her very first swimwear collection, designed in collaboration with Australian brand Sea Level. It certainly doesn’t disappoint.

‘I wanted a little higher on the hip, a little tighter on the waist, a little tighter on the bra, because I think that as women, even more so in their 50s, we shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that they want to feel sexy. says India, 57, mother of five, pictured right in one of her designs.

India, a goddaughter of King Charles, fueled her creative processes through a stay on Windermere Island in the Bahamas, where she welcomed the “freedom and privacy” of going topless.

Of her swimwear collection, she says: ‘I wanted to make sure other women of all sizes and shapes could feel like that James Bond girl. Doesn’t everyone want to be a Bond woman?’

The clever set talks about… The spicy past of Lord Marcus’ feisty fiancée

Getting married in the Beresfords can be an intimidating – but also exciting – prospect for many young women. After all, previous generations of the family also include the winner of a Victoria Cross; a racing manager for the Prince of Wales; and a star player in Prince Philip’s Windsor Park Cowdray Gold Cup-winning High Goal team, Lord Patrick Beresford.

There’s also Ireland’s glorious Curraghmore House, the family home for over 850 years, set in 2,500 acres. But I expect Ella McEwen, who this week got engaged to the newest Lord Marcus Beresford – youngest son of the 9th Marquess of Waterford – will pull it off.

The eventing manager followed her father, the famous racing veterinarian Bobby McEwen, into the equestrian world where participants learn to deal with almost everything.

For example, a young Bobby was called by Old Etonian trainer Fulke Johnson Houghton to geld a colt. While McEwen was busy with the task, Johnson Houghton surreptitiously changed the name above the horse stall door.

McEwen emerged from the box to see the name Ile de Bourbon, winner of the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes – and perhaps the most valuable stallion in Britain.

All the blood had drained from McEwen’s face before he heard a shout: “Welcome to the racing industry!” – and roaring laughter from Johnson Houghton.

King Charles, who loves Shakespeare and regularly invokes the Bard in his speeches, is gloomy about his sons’ lack of interest in the theater. Downton Abbey star Dame Penelope Wilton recalled on the Rosebud podcast: ‘He said to me, “I’m afraid I’m the last.” He said his boys didn’t go to the theater. That was sad, I thought.’

When she saw Kate Winslet posing nude while being drawn by Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic, comedienne Suzi Ruffell realized she was gay.

“I went to the cinema seven times to see that film, and each time I became more and more certain that I was gay,” says Suzi, who has appeared on TV panel shows such as Mock The Week and 8 Out Of 10 Cats .

‘There’s some nudity in it, and I’d be lying if I said it didn’t make some impression. There are quite a few lesbians of my generation who say, “Kate Winslet in Titanic, yes yes yes”.’

Speaker of the House of Commons Sir Lindsay Hoyle has just completed one of his office’s rites of passage, visiting The Speaker pub in Westminster and receiving an official photo of him given a place of honor in the bar. I was told that the photo of his less pleasant predecessor, John Bercow, was relegated to a dark corridor.

According to former star Sharron Davies, Gladiators has become a shadow of its former self due to health and safety regulations at the BBC.

The Olympic swimmer, 62, who was Amazon in the original ITV series, says: ‘There aren’t as many games and it’s a bit tamer now. It was very rare for a contender to get through Gauntlet back then, whereas now they get through pretty quickly. There’s a big health and safety form they have to sign now.”

Davies added: “There are games like Pyramid that I doubt they can bring back because there were so many injuries. We were told to grab the participants and just throw them off. That’s why there were so many injuries.’

Coleen dinner to cool jungle feuds

Since McFly star Danny Jones was crowned King Of The Jungle last month, several feuds have emerged between contestants on the ITV reality show.

However, I hear Coleen Rooney, who was beaten by Jones in the final of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, is acting as a peacemaker by throwing a huge reunion party at her Cheshire country house.

Contestant Richard Coles, pop star from The Communards turned pastor, revealed the news of the get-together while visiting Lewis and Harris in Scotland.

Coles said he’s “looking forward to that,” according to musician Keith Morrison, who lives on the island.

(Very) modern manners

Evidence that padel is replacing tennis as the racquet sport played by metropolitan trends: I hear that Soho Farmhouse, the private members’ club in Oxfordshire where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stayed twice in the giddy days of 2017, is planning to sell some of its tennis courts to padel, which is played in enclosed spaces and contains elements of squash.

A planning application describes ‘three padel courts on the site of existing tennis courts’, as well as the ‘reorganization of two remaining tennis courts’.

Actress Nina Naustdal was shocked when burglars ransacked her £10million London mansion while her children slept, as I revealed last summer. Now the star of Channel 4’s Too Posh to Parent is in despair about the police.

“I contacted a number of different private investigators,” says Nina, 42, at the London premiere of Mr Hyde: The Untold Story, in which she stars.

‘The police didn’t find them. I have given a clear picture of one of the burglars. It’s frustrating.

“I understand they’re overwhelmed, but that’s no excuse.”

Rapper Stormzy’s £215,000 payday…

He banks with Coutts – the royal family’s favorite for more than 300 years – and has previously funded four scholarships at Cambridge University, not to mention pledging to donate £10 million over a decade to the fight against racial inequality.

But Stormzy could be forgiven at the moment if he remembers that charity begins at home.

Annual accounts just filed at Companies House show that the 31-year-old Backbone and Own It rapper has paid himself a modest dividend of £215,000 from his music company Stormzy Ltd. music scene in 2014 and took himself to a fortune of £24 million.

Last year, Stormzy Ltd raised a further £2m, but after deducting costs, assets increased by just £50,000.

A smart move perhaps, with ‘Rachel from the accounts’ as chancellor.
