As Tatler’s April 2025 cover star Lucy Boynton steps into the glamorous but deadly shoes of Ruth Ellis in ITV’s A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story, she confesses she feels more grounded than ever—not least because she’s finally based in Britain after spending much of the past decade in America. In this month’s cover feature, she reveals how she felt returning to London, admitting ‘I have a US passport but more of an affinity with the British, so coming back here felt like a real coming home.’ And what’s more British than a spot of Tea with Tatler? The cover is taking on the ultimate British quiz—and settling the great scone debate once and for all. Tatler’s April issue hits newsstands on 6 March. Click the link in our bio for more.
