It's a magical way to spend a summer - privacy at sea, and fun and friends in port.

I want great food and wine, and friends to enjoy it all.

For many years I enjoyed the pleasure of cruising on my yacht all summer long and these were my best holidays. In mid-May, we'd start in St Tropez. I'd collect my bikinis from my home there and then we'd go up to Cannes for the Film Festival, on to Monte Carlo for the Grand Prix and then to Italy.

Gorgeous hair is the best revenge.

As you get older, your tastes get simpler. I like a sleek evening dress with a pair of big earrings. That's all.

One should never live with regrets or with 'what if.' I've loved the good times, and I have learned from the bad. All in all, it's been a pretty fabulous life for me.
