On her three-year-old daughter Harper, who was absent from the rainy London event, the fashion designer explained :“The boys are great with her.”

“She loves to wear little dresses, but then she loves to put her football boots on and go into the garden with her brothers and have a bit of a rough and tumble,” the mother-of-four mused.

Who knows, maybe it will be little Harper running her heart out in the London marathon in a few year’s time!
