So intensely fun is Dua Lipa's mother-in-law
A special mother-in-law in Dua Lipa's life
Since her multi-day wedding spectacle in Sicily, Dua Lipa is not only richer by a husband and a hernia-inducing diamond, but also a mother-in-law. In Italy, there is an expression that goes as follows: If you didn't already exist, I would invent you, and I think this applies not only to Callum but also very much to her mother-in-law. You can search long in life, but finding such a special and colorful specimen as Rosie Turner is difficult, and I fear there is only one of her.

Rosie Turner: heart and soul of London's cultural life
Callum was raised solely by his mother, so you can only hope that one person counts for two. Well, Rosie does. She is the heart and soul of London's cultural life where she initially started working at PX, the boutique of hat designer Stephen Jones. That is why Dua Lipa wore that huge hat by Stephen Jones, not because of her fame and connections, but because of Rosie's. Later, she became a nightclub promoter for the major London clubs where parties were organized that you can compare to those of the Amsterdam Roxy. It was not just dancing and drinking; it was art and culture.
Rosie's role in the LGBTQI scene and personal influence
Rosie advocated for everyone to find a place and gain acceptance and was the linchpin of the LGBTQI scene, where she became friends with David Robiliard, the gay poet and artist who died far too young from AIDS. In memory of him, she gave Callum the middle name Robiliard, to keep her dear friend alive in her son.
Callum and his appreciation for his mother
Callum often takes his mother as a plus-one to premieres and parties and seizes every opportunity to say how she has nurtured him with a love for art, film, music, while also being a strict mother who made sure he adhered to appointments. When she received a Global Woman Award in the Houses of Parliament in 2024, it was the biggest surprise for her and the crowd that Callum came to present the award.

A life dedicated to therapy and social impact
By the way, she did not receive the award for her role in the cultural sector, but for her work as a psychotherapist, the calling she answered after her nightlife chapter. Because therapy is expensive for many people, she also established a foundation where people without money can receive therapy.
A colorful appearance and family bond
Oh, and besides that, she is a colorful appearance: red hair and always classy yet artistically dressed, a bit in the style of her late friend Vivienne Westwood.
At the table with Dua and Callum
There, at the kitchen table with Dua and Callum, the conversation is going well, and oh, how I would love to be a fly on the wall.
