Highly regarded overseas and followed by more than 100,000 followers on social media, Mary Greenwell explained that Prince William and Prince Harry's mother never wore the same make-up. She simply loved natural beauty treatments where her eyes were highlighted. Although Lady Di liked to wear black eyeliner and mascara, it was unimaginable for her to wear false eyelashes. Considered to be too flashy and eccentric, they were banished from the princess' vanity.

Following the example of their mother-in-law, William and Harry's wivesdo not wear false eyelashes either. They prefer natural make-up, both on the eyes and on the complexion. In fact, Meghan Markle refuses to let anyone hide her freckles with foundation.

The Duchess of Cambridge is supporting a new UK-wide drive to help children connect with nature 🍃 as the next generation takes environmental action into their own hands. Backyard Nature aims to build an army of young nature guardians across the UK and help them protect wildlife on their doorstep 🦋🐛🦉 galvanising communities and empowering the children that live in them to act as nature guardians for their patch, no matter how small. The Duchess of Cambridge said: “Spending time in nature can play a pivotal role in helping children grow up to become happy, healthy adults. The great outdoors provides an open playground for children to have fun and learn life-long skills — from balance and coordination to empathy and creativity — with their friends, their parents, their carers, or their family members. I hope the Backyard Nature campaign inspires children, families and communities to get outside and engage with nature, wherever they live.” The Backyard Nature campaign has committed to encourage and support a million hours spent in the outdoors, encouraging children to connect with the environment and take action. Visit @BackyardNatUK to find out more and sign up to be a nature guardian. 📷 Kensington Palace #BackyardNature
