SOCIAL LONDON
PEACHES GELDOF, 19
Bob Geldof's wild-child daughter has been an irrepressible presence on the London party scene since her early teens. Now, with her Las Vegas marriage to 23-year-old American rock singer Max Drummey, Peaches is fated to be not only one of the most invited but also one of the most scrutinised girls in town.
IN THE SPOTLIGHT
ENVIRONMENT
PRINCE CHARLES, 59
CAMPAIGNER
His outburst against GM crops may have been dismissed by scientists but the Prince proved he can thrust the issue onto the front pages like no other - making him one of the most influential voices on the environment. And he practises what he preaches at his Highgrove estate.

NEW MEDIA
JONATHAN IVE, 41
APPLE DESIGNER
The British technology whizz, behind Apple's iPhone and iPod, can take a good deal of credit for news that Apple has overtaken Google as the world's most valuable hi-tech company. "Jony" Ive, who is based in Silicon Valley, is spending more time here and has bought a home outside London.

CHING-HE HUANG, 30
CHEF

THEATRE
JON SMITH, 55
CHIEF EXECUTIVE, FIRST ARTIST CORP.
Agent who holds major interests in theatre and sport.

UNDER PRESSURE
FINANCE
MERVYN KING, 60
BANK OF ENGLAND GOVERNOR
The genial, understated Bank Governor faces having to write another letter to the Chancellor, explaining why inflation has soared to more than double its target at 4.4 per cent. King, who helps to set interest rates, admits this is the hardest time for the Bank since 1997 as it is torn between rising inflation and falling house prices.
