Daughters and MOTHERS

Happy Mother’s Day! Meet the mutually supportive celebrity mum and daughter duos giving inspiration to us all

The bond between mothers and their daughters can still be very strong and loving even if you’re BOTH celebrities!

Andi and Miquita Oliver

British chef and Great British Menu judge Andi Oliver has a close relationship with her daughter, presenter Miquita. Not only do they share the same trade, but they live in flats opposite each other. During lockdown, they formed a bubble and launched a no-frills cooking-together video series full of laughter and yummy food (wadadlikitchen.com).

Duchess Kate and Princess Charlotte

As the only daughter of William and Kate, Charlotte has a strong connection with her mum and fellow princess. They spend more time together than some might imagine in spite of the Cambridges’ Royal duties. And, like many others, they have been busy home-schooling. Kate is keen to get Charlotte out in nature and it’s paid off – apparently her five-year-old daughter has become fascinated by spiders!

Sharman Macdonald and Keira Knightley

Oscar-nominated actress Keira attributes her go-get attitude to her Glaswegian mum, Sharman Macdonald, who is a playwright, and specifically her mantra is: ‘get better, work harder, keep going’. Sharman has always encouraged Keira to speak up and be heard.
