The Crown) and Serena, Marchioness of Bute have benefited from Uniacke's gentle touch, along with various rock stars, actors and VHNWIs (very-high-net-worth individuals). But if a client chooses to spill the beans, as Victoria Beckham did rather loudly when she persuaded Uniacke to complete her Holland Park home in 2014 (taking over from London's other design queen, Kelly Hoppen), then don't expect Uniacke to join in the conversation.I almost consider asking Uniacke if she wears Beckham's clothes when we meet at her own home, an extraordinary Pimlico pile that she set about transforming over 10 years ago, but then I weigh up the evidence.
