CARA Delevingne has become

the UK’s highest-paid super-

model – even though she has

recently spent more of her

time acting.

The 27-year-old earned

more than £21.5million last

year, double the income of

her nearest rivals.

She made £59,164 a day

through her company Cara &

Co, according to documents

filed with Companies House.

That is nearly twice the

£12.5million Miss Delevingne

took home in 2017 and much

more than other established

models such as Kate Moss, 45,

who reportedly earned

£9million, and Rosie Hunting-

ton-Whiteley, 32, who

received £8million.

She is also a director of her

family’s property portfolio,

Harvey White Properties,

which reported a profit of

£5.4million last year.

The revelation about her

earnings comes a week after

she appeared on the red

carpet in London for the

premiere of Amazon’s new

Victorian fantasy series

Carnival Row, in which she

stars alongside Orlando

Bloom. She plays a fairy, while

Bloom is her detective lover.

This week Miss Delevingne

was pictured leaving a club in

New York wearing a stunning

low-cut black mini dress with

sheer panelling and a dia-

mante corset.

She started her acting

career with a minor role in

the 2012 film adaptation of

Anna Karenina and has

insisted she has not stopped

modelling, saying: ‘I don’t

think you have to pick and

choose what you do, espe-

cially as a creative person.’

Miss Delevingne, who is in a

relationship with actress

Ashley Benson, has spoken

candidly about the difficulty

of making the transition from

modelling to acting.

‘When I did Anna Karenina,

which I didn’t have a speak-

ing part in, every time I was

on screen, the director would

say, “Cara, you’re modelling

again. Stop trying to look

pretty,” ’ she told Elle UK.

‘He’d tell me, “You’re not in

the moment, you’re just try-

ing to look hot.”

‘Modelling makes you know

where the camera is at all

times, and you have to forget

that when you’re acting.’

W hy aren’t

Meghan and

Harry going

to Balmoral?

It’s one of the must-dos of the

royal calendar, a long weekend

enjoying the charm of summer in

the Highlands with the Queen.

But while most of the Royal Family

have made the long trek to Balmoral,

it seems the Duke and Duchess of

sussex have decided to stay at

home instead.

Yesterday it emerged that despite

rumours they would be joining the

monarch this week with their baby son

Archie, Harry and Meghan actually have

no plans to fly up to scotland at all.

sources close to the couple insist that

the decision should not be seen as a

‘snub’. In truth, Harry, 34, only rarely

goes up to the Queen’s Deeside estate

nowadays, although he did spend every

summer there as a child.

the lure of fly fishing in the Dee, picnics

and barbecues in the rain and long

tramps through the midge-infested

highlands around Balmoral have never

held that much appeal.

the sources also stressed that now the

couple live in Frogmore Cottage on

the Queen’s estate at Windsor, they see

the monarch much more regularly than

most family members anyway. still, the

that Harry and Meghan feel Archie is too

young to spend time in scotland.

Despite their two foreign jaunts last

month, Harry and Meghan have spent

much of August working ‘under the

radar’, it is understood.

Indeed Harry yesterday popped up

unannounced at sandhurst, his old

military college, to talk to staff and

students about mental health issues,

and had a similar meeting with the Royal

Marines on Wednesday.

‘they have had a very busy working

summer,’ the source said. ‘A lot of work

has been going on behind the scenes for

the duke’s travalyst initiative [promot-

ing environmentally friendly tourism],

which was launched this week, and the

duchess’s smart Works fashion project

which launches next thursday.

‘they were back having meetings at

Kensington Palace from early August

with just two short breaks in between

and are busy preparing for their official

trip to Africa which starts this month.’

But the privacy-obsessed sussexes

have been under fire for taking four

private flights in 11 days last month after

previously claiming they will have a

maximum of two children to avoid

damaging the environment.

they flew to Ibiza by private jet on

August 6 for Meghan’s 38th birthday.

Days later, they flew to Nice on a

£15 million Cessna Citation sovereign

which features a refreshment bar and is

described as the ‘pinnacle of luxury’.

sir Elton said he paid for their flights

to his holiday home and made an ‘appro-

priate contribution’ to a carbon foot-

print fund to offset the environmental

impact. But ex-royal protection officer

Ken Wharfe, who guarded Princess

Diana, said: ‘It’s hypocritical. Harry

can’t preach about the catastrophic

effects of climate change while jetting

around the world on a private plane.’

Jet set: Meghan, Harry and Archie

After furore over holidays in France and Ibiza...

‘A very

busy summer’

decision will, inevitably, raise eyebrows

among those who see Balmoral as some-

thing of a royal three-line whip and an

unrivalled chance to spend quality time

with the ageing Queen.

Charles and Camilla have been staying

at Birkhall, their neighbouring estate,

for most of July and August, while

Princess Anne, the Duke and Duchess of

York and the Earl and Countess of

Wessex and their children, Louise and

James, have all holidayed with the

Queen and Prince Philip.

the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

got a budget flight to scotland with

their three youngsters for a break with

their great-grandmother last month.

Meghan, 38, hasn’t yet visited Balmoral,

which was bought by Queen Victoria,

although the couple visited both Birkhall

and the Castle of Mey in scotland with

Charles last summer.

Instead she and Harry have enjoyed a

week-long trip to Ibiza and a long week-

end in the south of France with sir Elton

John, flying over on private jets. the

couple’s new office at Buckingham

Palace declined to comment last night.

But sources stressed that they had

neither been ‘expected’ to go, nor had

Harry been a frequent visitor in recent

years. they also denied the suggestion
