“Some Latin was said and apparently I have a degree.” And with those words, female education champion and Taliban shooting survivor Malala Yousafzai graduated from Oxford. The momentous occasion came two weeks after Malala married her “best friend” Asser Malik. Malala has previously expressed reticence about marriage. She knew girls who were married as young as 14. After meeting Asser, she concluded, “I believe that I can enjoy friendship, love and equality in marriage.”…

On a cool autumn day, in a palace sequestered behind silver birches and surrounded by a large moat, Japan’s Princess Mako began preparing for her long-awaited wedding. Four lonely years had passed since she announced her engagement to her college sweetheart, Kei Komuro, and in that time the first flush of public jubilation had turned into criticism, bullying and scandal. The couple was separated for three whole years, and the marriage delayed time and again. But the beautiful young royal never wavered in her devotion to the man she loves, and after many nights of distress and longing, she was finally going to become his wife and relinquish her royal title. As she arranged her shiny black hair into a simple chignon, her face was set in an expression of…

On her first day in Hollywood, 16-year-old Rita Moreno entered the MGM lot with equal parts trepidation and excitement. A talent scout had spotted the Puerto Rican-born, Bronx-raised teenager at a Spanish dance recital. Rita was signed on the spot days later by studio boss Louis B. Mayer himself, so blown away was he by her resemblance to another teenage star. “My God,” he’d declared as she arrived for their meeting (accompanied by her mother Rosa) at his penthouse suite in New York’s Waldorf Astoria. “She’s a Spanish Elizabeth Taylor!” “I’ll never forget that first day in the studios, it was so exciting,” says Rita, now 90 and speaking to The Weekly from her home in Berkeley, California. “I practically moved in there. I visited the sets, visited the commissary where…

After the turbulent uncertainty of recent cycles, Jupiter in the zodiac’s final sign this year offers deeper insights into the psyche of society and humanity’s destiny. Generous Jupiter in empathetic Pisces, the zodiac’s poet, suggests greater financial recognition of the arts, healing and teaching professions. While our solar system’s largest planet paints an uplifting, idealistic picture of future possibilities, its flip side can be unrealistic and its inflationary energy in a water sign predicts widespread flooding. Change maker Uranus continues rocking global politics and economies, bringing radical changes to the way we earn, spend and shop. Operating through Taurus, the most tactile of earth signs, it stresses the necessity of staying in touch with each other and the natural world. As we’re all called to make important decisions during the…

For those who worry a ‘healthy lifestyle’ involves a strict adherence to difficult eating regimes, these women were not fanatical. Research shows those who focus on a single thing – like rigorous diets – have poorer health than we’d expect. Interesting studies have shown people who are dieting are more likely to get infections. Researchers have tested the blood of people dieting and shown there are fewer natural-killer cells (the immune system cells that eat up bad things that end up in our bodies) compared with people not on a diet. ‘Eating healthy’ within the calorie limits your body needs is not dieting. We need to ingest enough. We should not ingest too much. This may seem straightforward but ‘enough’ and ‘too much’ mean different things to different people and…

PG 107 Rose’s Korean prawn fritters with soy, cider vinegar & chilli Rose is Sas’s [Rick’s wife, Sarah] cousin’s partner and being Korean she has a fabulous repertoire of seafood recipes. What I love about this dish is its simplicity and the subtlety of soy and vinegar; also the fact that Rose finds parsley such an exotic herb. It’s lovely to experience the flavour through somebody else’s perception. PG 107 Sautéed red mullet with parsley, garlic & spaghettini This makes four large servings. The great thing about it is that the well-flavoured skin of the red mullet goes slightly grainy when it’s fried and seems to coat the spaghetti with the sweet taste of seafood. I also make this with monkfish, John Dory, bass or bream. Rick Stein has spent…

Just like that, we’re here – 2022, a clean slate, a fresh start, a new chance, a different set of resolutions… No, no, no, not this year. We’re not doing resolutions – they’re so 2021 and, let’s be honest, no one wants to go back to 2021 and all that brought with it! No, this year we’re setting intentions. The reality is, resolutions rarely stick, yet an intention (see page 92) could be a different story. Who doesn’t want to experience success in 2022? When it comes to clichés, “What would you do if you knew you would not fail?” is a pretty good one. Clichés get a bad rap, but they become clichés for a reason. They start off as a one-off statement made by someone, but make so…

The Queen Her Majesty’s 70th Platinum Jubilee events will be celebrated over four days in June, and will include parades, services, parties, horse races and lunches. The little royals Princess Beatrice’s daughter Sienna, four months, is due to be christened, while Prince Louis will start at Thomas’s School when he turns four in April. Still on the go Prince Andrew will be making headlines this year with speculation he could stand trial in 2022 in a civil case in the US over alleged sexual abuse.…

The most exciting thing about doing live theatre is… People! On stage with you, sharing a story. The relationship is different every night with an audience. Lights up, the journey starts and who knows how it will play out. The best advice I ever received was… Back yourself. My friends would say I am… Hard to pin down. In the movie of my life, I’d like to be played by… A comedian. The last time I cried was… Flying to Sydney. I love flying – it’s been a while. My guilty pleasure is… Books! I never feel lonely when surrounded by books, all of those voices and stories. My greatest achievement is… Giving life to three amazing children. My favourite Bob Dylan song is… Tight Connection to My Heart, but I also…

On January 9, the Duchess of Cambridge celebrates her 40th birthday. With the pandemic still raging, it’s unlikely there will be a big party for the anniversary, but it is, I think, a notable milestone. When the Queen was 40, she had already been on the throne for 15 years, motherhood having to take a back seat to the public service role she had devoted her life to – the task she continues to serve at the age of 95. Over this past year, much has been written, including by me, of a switch in gear by the Cambridge family, with William and Catherine looking more and more prepared for their future roles, which will in due course initially be supporting an ageing Charles as king and ultimately leading the…

The past two years of lockdowns and restrictions have been a mixed blessing for local musician Reb Fountain. On one hand, she’s had the time and space to let her creativity flourish; on the other, though, like most of us, she’s felt hemmed in. “I have a gypsy spirit,” she says. “I often feel my best on the road. Part of it is the migrant in me. I really enjoy travelling.” Reb is rapidly becoming one of our most successful singer-songwriters. Her critically acclaimed, self-titled album released in 2020 was nominated for five Aotearoa Music Awards. Her haunting, lyrically beautiful song Hopeful and Hopeless was named Best Country Song a couple of years earlier. She was also part of the sell-out Neil Young tribute act Live Rust and, in 2021,…

It was 2010 when Aussie-born Cambridge University historian John Guy took the phone call that would rock his world. On the line was Sotheby’s in London. The famed auction house had just been given a cache of newly discovered Queen Elizabeth I documents that they thought the Tudor expert might like to peruse before they went under the hammer. “Intrigued, I hurried down to New Bond Street. Breathtakingly, 43 documents in pristine condition, more than half signed by Elizabeth or her leading courtiers, were laid out on the desk,” John tells me with renewed excitement. He had no expectations but what he found was explosive. “The rules were the usual ones in these circumstances: no notes, no photos, as these were properties up for sale. All shed fresh light on…

All prices are approximate.…

When the calendar ticks over to January 1, we begin to plot and plan. With Christmas behind us, the new year stretching ahead feels like a fresh start. And so we resolve to change. In ancient Rome, this involved making sacrifices to a two-faced god and promising to behave. Fast forward 2000 years, and our goals have become more nuanced. Mostly, they tend to fall into one of a few different buckets: body (drop a dress size!), mood (meditate daily!), money (get a better job!), and self-improvement (be a better daughter/wife/friend/mother!). “But often what is wrapped up in these goals is the belief that we are lacking or falling short in some way,” says entrepreneur and mentor Lorraine Murphy, author of Step Into You. And no matter how determined you…

In 2022, I’m most looking forward to… Well, it’s a toss-up. I’m absolutely excited for my new show on Today FM, but I’m secretly just as excited for a new roof. Presently, when it rains, if I’m sitting on the loo, I get a constant drip in the dead-centre of my head. It’s a form of toilet torture. My favourite thing about summer is… My garden. I’m no gardener – my darling daddy would be horrified as he was a master gardener – but I love flowers in all kinds of pots. Seeing all the colour makes me blissfully happy. My top three priorities for the new year are… My new show (and new roof!), having no expectations apart from being honest and hardworking, and as always, my children. Life…

To know ones’ self is to know one’s style and as she celebrates her 40th birthday this month, there is no doubt that Duchess Kate subscribes to the formula “Love it? Get it in more than one colour.” Or in Kate’s case, sometimes even three or four different shades. The past few years have seen the royal become a bona fide style icon with items she wears selling out in seconds. For the latest royal news, don’t miss this month’s round-up. page 22…

“It’s nice to make people laugh for a change” Watching Being the Ricardos, it’s hard to believe anyone could question Nicole Kidman as the perfect Lucille Ball. From the very first frame we are in the presence of not just the very feisty and complex Lucille Ball, but her alter ego, the hilarious Lucy Ricardo, comedy queen of I Love Lucy, the most successful television sitcom of all time. But when Aaron Sorkin announced his casting of Nicole as Ball and Javier Bardem as her off- and on-screen hubby Desi Arnaz/Ricky Ricardo, social media descended into a frustrating echo chamber of tumbling eye rolls. Nicole wasn’t a physical comedienne, they said, Javier was Spanish, not Cuban, and not a musician (as bandleader, singer and bongo player Desi was). Never mind…

Stanley Tucci walks into the members' section of the Olympic Cinema Club in Barnes, south London, chic, bespectacled and quietly, compactly sexy; 61 years old, with the bearing of a man classically trained in ballet (which he isn't). The room perks up around him. He’s just that sort of a bloke, imbued with a low-key charisma, an easy, gentle charm. “Where shall we go? Shall we go here?” he asks, wafting me towards the nicest armchairs ranged round the nicest table, bathed in a sunlight I could have sworn wasn’t there before he arrived. “I’m so excited to meet you,” he says. I actually believe him. I unleash my Dictaphone. “What do you want to know?” Stanley asks. I want to know why you're not fat, I say. He laughs,…

The longer your exposure to unhealthy things, the unhealthier you will be. Healthy ageing has two components. One is prevention and minimisation of disease, the other is quality of life and optimisation of ability – put simply, finding ways to make the most of what you have. Age is not a measure of years, it’s also a measure of your exposure to bad habits. The longer you eat poorly and are inactive, the greater your chances of getting degenerative diseases. Luckily, for those of us who worry a ‘healthy lifestyle’ involves difficult regimes, the women we studied were not fanatical. You do not need to become a health ‘fanatic’ to be healthy. In fact, research shows these people have worse health than those who opt for moderation in all things.…

It was supposed to be a romantic holiday on the breathtaking Galápagos Islands, where Diana expected her surgical resident boyfriend Finn to propose marriage days before her 30th birthday. But then the pandemic hits, Finn is needed at the hospital, and he urges Diana to head off alone… not realising she is about to be stranded alone with no food, no luggage, and nowhere to stay. The next morning, my flight to Santa Cruz goes off without a hitch. But there is a sea lion between me and the ferry to my final destination. It sprawls across the dock in the sunshine, a slug of muscle, whiskers twitching. I edge closer toward it with my camera, thinking I can send a picture to Finn, but the minute I’m within striking…
