‘IT'S LOVELY HAVING ONE OF EACH – WE COULDN'T ASK FOR MORE!'

ROYALTY-ACQUAINTED MATCHMAKER LARA ASPREY INTRODUCES OK! TO NEWBORN SON OLIVER REVEALS THE SECRET TO HER HAPPY MARRIAGE AND GIVES HER PREDICTIONS FOR HARRY AND MEGHAN’S FUTURE

- EMILY WHITWAM

Lara Asprey has carved out a very successful career as a love guru to the rich and famous. The 37-year-old is best known for her TV show The Ultimate Matchmaker and advice book The Very British Rules Of Dating.

She also famously tried to find Prince Harry a partner before he met Meghan.

Lara has been busy writing a novel which is a contemporary look at the way we perceive ourselves, to be published later this year, and is also working on a script for a film adaptation of the book.

As well as that, she recently welcomed another baby, so we’re excited to be invited into the home she shares with husband Juan, newborn son Oliver and daughter Elise, three, for our shoot. And it appears her mini-me Elise is already following in Lara’s glamorous footsteps. “Elise is such a girlie girl, so she’s loved being styled for this shoot,” Lara tells us. “A month after giving birth, the last thing you feel is glamorous, so I loved it too!”

While she was expecting, Lara was looking forward to relocating the family to Chile for investment banker Juan’s job – but the pandemic put plans on hold and they are currently renting in London.

“It was really stressful, at that point all I wanted to do was nest,” she says.

Here, the Windsor-born dating expert opens up on what makes her marriage so strong, going through a traumatic labour and if she thinks the royals will continue to hear the pitter-patter of tiny feet...

Congratulations on adorable Oliver, Lara. How is he doing?
