Bravo fans are just getting to know the stars of our new show Ladies of London, but one member of the cast may be familiar to some. Julie Montagu, a yoga instructor and former model, was Diaz's double in 1997's My Best Friend's Wedding, as Bustle points out.

That was before the healthy living expert married Luke Montagu, the Viscount Hinchingbrooke and became Viscountess Hinchingbrooke or, Lady Hinchingbrooke. Her latest project is far away from Hollywood. She recently created a healthy options menu for the British restaurant chain Bumpkin.

If her royal lifestyle and one degree of separation from Cameron Diaz weren't impressive enough, she recently achieved the impossible - getting her kids to love broccoli. "My kids' favourite! Broccoli mash!," the Illinois native posted on Instagram, adopting British spelling. Along with a photo of the dish, she posted the easy-to-follow recipe. "Blanch broccoli for 2 minutes in boiling water. Drain and out in [food processor] with olive oil and sea salt and you've got a great side dish!"
