Sienna’s

happy

family —

in Siena!

THE Queen is

looking for a senior

gardener at

Buckingham Palace

to keep her lawns and

borders in top

condition. The Royal

Household is

advertising for an

experienced gardener

who will be paid just

£22,000 a year, but with

promises that their

work will be admired

by ‘thousands’. There

could be competition:

as I reported last week,

the Duchess of Cornwall

also wants a gardener

for her Wiltshire home,

Ray Mill House.

■

SHE may have been dubbed
fashion’s ‘ice queen’, owing to her
famously cool demeanour, but
American Vogue editor-in-chief
Dame Anna Wintour admits
there is at least one subject
that gets her feeling all warm
and fuzzy.
‘We have a new puppy in our
household. She arrived last week

■ and her name is Finch,’ explains
Wintour, 69, of her recently
adopted white labradoodle.
‘She’s called Finch because we call
all of our dogs after characters in
To Kill A Mockingbird. So we have
had a Scout, a Radley and a
Harper [the author] — and let me
tell you, they are not happy about
Finch’s arrival!’

FORMER party girl

Sienna Miller, who

once described her

romantic life as ‘quite

chaotic’, can always

rely on the love of

her family.

The 37-year-old film

star — whose exes

include actors Tom

Sturridge, with whom

she has a seven-year-

old daughter, and

Jude Law — enjoyed

a holiday in Siena,

Italy, with her fashion

designer sister Sav-

annah, 40, and their

mother, former

model Josephine.

‘The most magical

week away with

my magic family. It

was a dream to be

together,’ Savannah

writes online next to

this snap. ‘I am very

grateful for the

reminder family time

is the most important

time and is deeply

soul-enriching.’

Lady Mary’s

teaser over

Downton 2

AS DOWNTON Abbey fans await

the film to hit the big screen next

month, one of its stars, Michelle

Dockery, is ratcheting up

excitement by hinting there could

already be a sequel in the works.

The 37-year-old, who plays Lady

Mary Crawley in the period drama

created by Lord Fellowes, posed

for a fashion shoot in InStyle

magazine, in which she is asked

whether there will be another film

based on the ITV series.

‘I mean, we’ll see,’ she teases. ‘As

Elizabeth McGovern, who plays

my mother, just said, “All doors are

left open.”’ She adds it was a

poignant moment getting back

into her character’s old-fashioned

garb for the new movie. ‘For my

first fitting I felt quite emotional

putting those dresses back on.

‘Some were reused, but because

it’s a film, we also dialled it up a

notch. We could afford to go slightly

more grand.’
