Dream Team

Behati Prinsloo, wife of Montecito rocker Adam Levine, has gone back in history for her latest modeling assignment for the new Victoria’s Secret collection.

Behati and fellow model Candice Swanepoel posed up a storm at Longleat House in Wiltshire as they promoted the lingerie brand’s Dream collection.

Behati, 36, looked stunning in a white mini dress with jeweled straps.

Longleat is owned by Ceawlin Thynn, the Marquess of Bath, and dates to the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1.

Wary Harry

Prince Harry, who celebrates his 40th birthday later this month, contrary to expectations flew to the funeral of his late uncle, Lord Robert Fellowes, in Snettisham, Norfolk, last week.

It put the Riven Rock-based Duke of Sussex in the same room as his older brother, William, Prince of Wales, for the first time this year.

Despite hopes for a thawing in relations given their ongoing rift, other guests at the service said the twosome appeared to be “keeping their distance” and did not speak to one another, sitting at the back of St. Mary’s Church “very discreetly.”

Lord Fellowes, the late Queen Elizabeth’s private secretary, was married to Lady Jane Spencer, sister of Harry’s mother, Princess Diana.

The duo could meet again in New York later this month with Harry set to embark on a packed solo trip to advance a number of his patronages and philanthropic institutions, a spokesman has confirmed.

The trip is set to take place during the UN General Assembly High-Level Week and Climate Weekend, the latter of which runs from Sept. 22 to Sept. 29.

William, 42, is also expected in the Big Apple for the third annual Earshot Prize Innovation Summit, which will be held at the Plaza Hotel on Sept. 24. It’s undisclosed if he will attend for sure, but he did so last year.

Harry is also finally set to bring out a paperback edition of his bestselling memoir, Spare, but I’m told he will not be promoting it as he did the original hardcopy version, nor will he be updating it.

However, its October release will clash with King Charles’s high-profile appearance at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Samoa, the first time he has attended since acceding to the throne and becoming head of the global organization.

The meeting will be held from Oct. 21-25, with Harry’s paperback being published in the U.S. on Oct. 22 and in the U.K. two days later.

Publishers Penguin Random House are publishing the book in 16 languages worldwide. The original sold six million copies in both print and audio version.

It holds the Guinness Book of Records record for the fastest-selling nonfiction book of all time.

Rationing at the Ranch

Workers at Rancho del Cielo, the late President Ronald Reagan’s 688-acre spread overlooking our Eden by the Beach, were assured of keeping their trim physiques, whether they liked it or not.

Former First Lady Nancy Reagan, according to a new biography Ronald Reagan: His Life and Legend by Max Boot, never cooked; and limited the amount of food the housekeeper, Ann Allman, could serve to the ranch hands – portions the ranch hands themselves described as “stingy.”

Nancy kept a careful eye on her figure – a size 2 – and also Ronnie’s, with there being only a plate of food per person.

“The workers were almost as hungry at the end of the meal as they were when they sat down!” writes Boot.

After Reagan moved to the White House in January 1981, the former California governor described his living quarters as “being too sheltered.” “It was like being a bird in a gilded-cage sense of isolation.”

When he could, the president left Washington for his 1600 sq ftCalifornia residence, where he would ride horses and engage in hours of manual labor.

Talk about politics was off limits. One of Reagan’s aides, Dennis LeBlanc, said conversations were limited to “ranch stuff and family stuff.”

Etched in Yellowstone

Despite Carpinteria actor Kevin Costner quitting Yellowstone with its final fifth series, producers are now working on a sixth season of the Taylor Sheridan hit show.

According to Deadline, the new episodes will concentrate on Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser, following Costner’s dramatic exit from the neo-Western drama.

This comes after the on-screen couple were reportedly in talks about joining a Yellowstone spinoff, The Madison, with Michelle Pfeiffer playing a rich New York matriarch who moves to Montana.

Table Tennis, Anyone?

Five years after her last big-screen role in Marvel’s 2019 superhero adventure Avengers: Endgame, Gwyneth Paltrow is returning to acting.

The 51-year-old Oscar winner and Goop founder has signed on for a role in A24’s Marty Supreme, a film about Marty Reisman, one of the most accomplished table tennis players of all time, winning 22 major titles between 1967 and 2002, who died in 2012 aged 82.

No word yet on who the Montecito resident will be playing in the movie, and plot details are currently under wraps, according to Deadline.

In Memoriam

On a personal note, I mark the passing of Mary Garton at the all-too-early age of 76.

Mary, a Stanford University graduate, lived in London and New York, before moving to Santa Barbara, where she volunteered her services to the Cecilia Fund, the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, the Community Arts Music Association Women’s Board, and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art Women’s Board.

A charming and gracious lady gone all too soon…
