Meet Emily Nash – Royal Correspondent at Hello! Magazine

Emily Nash is the Royal Correspondent at HELLO! Magazine. She lives in southwest London with her husband, three-year-old son and newborn daughter.

 

Congratulations on welcoming beautiful baby Elin! How does it feel to be a mum of 2?

Amazing and a little scary! I feel very, very lucky to have two healthy children. Now I just need to work out how to keep them both happy at the same time!

 

A post shared by Emily Nash (@emilynashhello) on

 

Can we take a sec to talk about your amazing job? … What is it like to be the royal correspondent at Hello! Magazine?

It’s a dream job. I get to witness some incredible and unique events and travel to some very interesting places all over the world, while working for Britain’s best celebrity magazine. I’m also very fortunate to have brilliant, kind and supportive colleagues.

 

A post shared by Emily Nash (@emilynashhello) on

 

Do you have any funny stories involving the royals that you can share with us?

There are so many funny moments that occur during engagements and especially on Royal Tours, but one that sticks out was last year in Palm Beach, Florida, when a canopy full of rainwater collapsed on top of me and a Palace aide during Prince Harry’s Sentebale Polo Cup match. I tried to dry off before dinner and thought I’d got away with it, only for the Prince to tease me about it as soon as he arrived at the venue!

 

What about best career moments? There must be so many to choose from!

Visiting places across the globe you might never normally see is an immense privilege, and something I’ve been fortunate to do throughout my career. I used to be a National Newspaper reporter and the two stories I most enjoyed covering were the London 2012 Olympics and the 2010 Chilean mine rescue operation. Now I am lucky enough to watch the Royal Family at work and see the really positive effects they have on the people they meet.

 

A post shared by Emily Nash (@emilynashhello) on

 

We see from your Instagram that you’ve met Prince Harry. What was that like?

I think everyone has a soft spot for Prince Harry – he’s a great guy and he’s doing some really important work through his charities and the brilliant Invictus Games for wounded and injured servicemen and women. I’ve been on many of his overseas tours and it’s great to see him in action. He has a really natural rapport with people and is very passionate about getting his message across.

 

A post shared by Emily Nash (@emilynashhello) on

 

Have you had the chance to meet any of the other royals? Are Prince George and Princess Charlotte really that adorable in real life?

I have been lucky enough to meet many members of the Royal Family, including the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Countess of Wessex. I’ve been watching Prince George and Princess Charlotte grow up since waiting outside the Lindo Wing for them both to arrive! Last year I joined them and their parents on tour for the first time as a family of four in Canada. Seeing them come down the steps of the aeroplane together was a particularly sweet moment. They are incredibly cute!

 

A post shared by Emily Nash (@emilynashhello) on

 

What about The Duchess of Cambridge? Did you take any maternity styling tips from her?

I was actually expecting my son when Prince George was born – they are three months apart, so like the rest of the media, I waited outside the Lindo Wing for weeks, with my six-month bump in tow. I think I first looked up Seraphine after seeing the Duchess wear the brand. I didn’t manage to keep wearing heels for quite as long as she did though!

 

 

With such a high profile job you must have to maintain a smart working wardrobe. How did you manage through pregnancy?

I basically lived in Seraphine clothing from the point where I started to show! I stocked up on maternity dresses for daytime and evening events at the Palace or elsewhere and a few more relaxed styles for the weekend. I found the styles really flattering and easy to wear but smart enough to take me anywhere.

 

A post shared by Emily Nash (@emilynashhello) on

Emily wears a Seraphine maternity dress to interview famous shoe designer Jimmy Choo

 

Do you have any styling tips for other expectant mums?

Dresses are so easy to style up or down for work or play – I loved the black maternity dress that comes in the bump kit because it’s so versatile and flattering – just add a colourful scarf and shoes or bag and head out. If you’re planning to breastfeed, it’s worth picking up pieces that you can keep wearing afterwards too.

 

What were your favourite Seraphine styles?

The polka dot blouse and ¾ sleeved striped nursing top. I also loved the spotted Florette dress and Luxury black Maternity Dress, which I felt great in! I’m now planning to stock up on the nursing range, which has some great pieces for the summer.

 

A post shared by Emily Nash (@emilynashhello) on

 

We are confiscating your makeup bag! You get to keep 3 essential beauty products – what do you choose?

Only three?! It would have to be my Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser, Kevin Aucoin brow pencil and my lifesaver at the moment is the Lansinoh HPA Lanolin cream, which is great as a lip balm and always in my bag. I am relying on quite a few more products than that to help disguise the lack of sleep at the moment though!

Seraphine Founder Cecile Reinaud Talks About Dressing Royalty & A-Listers

Ever wanted to take a look inside the wardrobes of the glamorous and famous? Well this week, Seraphine founder Cecile Reinaud was interviewed for an ITVBe documentary which offered a sneak peek inside the wardrobe of one of the biggest style icons of our time – The Duchess of Cambridge!

 

Watch the Video

 

Cecile Reinaud was interviewed alongside other celebrity stylists and royal fashion experts to give her insights for ITVBe’s exclusive new documentary, Kate’s Wardrobe Secrets.

 

 

Speaking from the Seraphine head office in Notting Hill, Cecile opened up about what it was like to dress the Duchess through her pregnancy, sharing her memories of the day that those beautiful first official pictures with Prince George were released – The Duchess smiling and looking utterly radiant in our signature knotted dress.

You can buy the Duchess’s famous Fuchsia Knotted Maternity Dress or her Blossom Knot Front Maternity Dress here.

 

 

Here at Seraphine, we are known for dressing all the top Hollywood celebrities through their pregnancies – everyone from Gwen Stefani, Anne Hathaway and Mila Kunis to Kate Winslet, Jessica Alba and Marion Cotillard are fans of our maternity clothes. But none of these stars has anything like the same selling power as the Duchess. Cecile shares her insights as to why this might be:

“Kate is an icon – she’s almost like a myth, so everybody wants a little piece of that Princess fairy tale. By buying what she’s wearing, you get that fairy tale in your wardrobe, and I think that is why the Kate effect is so strong and unparalleled by any other celebrities.”

 

 

The Duchess of Cambridge invested in Seraphine styles several times throughout both of her pregnancies, choosing flattering summer maternity dresses while she was expecting Prince George, and classic maternity coats through her winter pregnancy with Princess Charlotte. The Marina Maternity Coat was a particular favourite of hers, which she chose for her iconic arrival in New York on the royal couple’s first official visit to the States.

The Duchess of Cambridge wears the Vanessa Turtleneck Maternity Dress

The Duchess made a stunning impression in our Vanessa Turtleneck Black Maternity Dress on her first official visit to New York. Styling the dress with a statement Cartier necklace, it was the perfect look for meeting and greeting the VIPs of the New York creative arts scene, including Jenna Lyons the CEO of J Crew, often known as the woman who dresses America.

While expecting Prince George, The Duchess’ style was all about keeping cool and comfortable in chic summer maternity dresses. She was due at the height of summer, and had a heatwave to contend with through her final weeks of pregnancy.

 

 

Here at Seraphine, we will never forget the moment we first saw those iconic first official pictures with Prince George. Taken by proud new Grandad Michael Middleton on a beautifully sunny day, The Duchess simply glowed in our Fuchsia Knot Front Maternity Dress.

 

The pictures made headline news across the globe and our little pink maternity dress became an instant style classic – a must-have for every mama’s wardrobe.

The Duchess loved the knotted style so much, she chose the Lavender Blossom Knot Front Maternity Dress for the drive home from the hospital with the new baby Prince.

 

 

Kate Middleton is a true style icon and we are honoured that she chose Seraphine maternity clothes through both of her pregnancies.
