Harry and Meghan’s child will be seventh in line to the throne but, despite having a prince for a dad, Baby Sussex will not be a prince or a princess. According to royal succession rules set in 1917 by Harry’s great-great-grandfather, George V, HRH titles are reserved for the monarch’s children and the children of the monarch’s sons, which is why William, Harry, Beatrice and Eugenie are princes and princesses. (Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, turned down HRH titles for their children, Louise and James). The Queen bent the rules for William’s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as their father is an heir to the throne. If Meghan and Harry’s baby is a boy, he will most likely adopt one of Harry’s subsidiary…

Spend some time making rum babas for a special occasion, plus learn how to get fluff off your clothes and ways to reduce your grocery spend. Let’s bake! RUM BABAS MAKES 16 Soaked in rum syrup, then glazed with jam, these little sponge cakes are so divine, they’re well worth the effort it takes to make them. Rum babas were huge in the ’60s, when they were a sophisticated dessert to serve at a dinner party. These days, you can get tall, cylindrical moulds for individual babas, but some people cook all the mixture in a large pudding mould. I used muffin tins, which are the perfect size for individual desserts. DOUGH 1½ tsp granulated yeast 1 cup lukewarm milk 3 tbsp sugar 2 cups flour, plus more if needed…

Labour Weekend is all about celebrating the eight-hour working day, initiated by the labour union movement over a century ago, by taking it easy. Not gardeners, though. No, they’ll commit themselves to three days of back-breaking work outside, then at the end of it, they’ll have... Something to show for it! PAVERS Labour Weekend is the perfect time for projects. The three-day break means you have time to dream up something clever, plan it, buy what you need, create it and then spend the last 10 minutes of the long weekend propping yourself up with your spade and admiring the fruits of your labour. Or something like that. If you’re short of ideas, try one of these to set your garden up for the holiday season. The above stone-chipped terrace…

LIBRA Sep 24 – Oct 23 Computers will not be user friendly, especially when it comes to finances. The message for this week is about numbers and not accepting what is put in front of you. If it looks like a mistake, it probably is; if you are discussing a deal or contract, don’t accept the first offer. Make sure you understand how much your skills and talents are worth before you negotiate. SCORPIO Oct 24 – Nov 22 Whatever your daily routine is, break it. Do something different to what people expect of you. If you are thinking of opening your own business, then this is the week to explore the opportunities and options available. Whatever plans you have, change them and follow your dream - it will change…

A comforting gift Kerre McIvor’s article on the gift of giving (22.10.2018) made me think of the gift of giving people a chance. This can also sometimes make a difference. I have often opened doors for others, and encouraged and provided opportunities for them to move forward to feel good about themselves, and have been heartened by the outcomes. When adversity became part of my world, a previous client knowing I was now slower and prone to fatigue assured me that I was still needed. I cannot put into words how comforting and rewarding that knowledge has been. As Kerre says, “We can make a huge difference”. Ann, via email THIS MAGAZINE IS SUBJECT TO NZ PRESS COUNCIL PROCEDURES.

I have six children and only one of them is a boy. He lives in New York. I’m not sure why he has to be quite so far away, but he says it’s an exciting place. I find living in Wellington pretty exciting too, I tell him, but obviously not in a very convincing way. We haven’t seen each other for a couple of years now and sometimes I feel a bit sad about that. The time we spent when he was growing up, surrounded by his sisters, pushed us close, and it still feels like that, even though he’s so far away. But it’s not the same as having him in person. I finally figured out the time difference between New Zealand and the east coast of the United…

I often get to Friday and say something along the lines of, “Phew! What a week that was!” But this time, I feel like the Little Boy Who Cried W olf who now needs a new way of describing their week, because honestly, what a week! It’s been a busy , but incredible time in which the royals truly went into over drive. Let’s just take a deep br eath while I quickly r ecap it… Princess Eugenie tied the knot in a beautiful wedding and everyone was ther e (plus a few surprise guests like Demi Moore) – even Prince Philip made it, and made my jaw dr op by posing for an of ficial portrait next to his former nemesis Fergie (who was her feisty self, but didn’t…

Bets are already being placed on the new royal baby’s name. Favourites are Victoria or Alice for a girl and Arthur, Albert or Philip for a boy. Royal commentators have also suggested Meghan may honour her American heritage by choosing a name that has special significance, such as Samuel (as in Uncle Sam) for a boy. Another option is Rachel for a girl, as it is her real first name and also the name of the character she played on TV show Suits. William and Kate have chosen traditional royal names for their children, but because the new baby is less likely to be crowned, Harry and Meghan may be able to be more adventurous with their choices, like Harry’s cousins Peter Phillips and Zara Tindall, whose daughters are Savannah,…

After a decade working on MasterChef Australia, you could forgive Gary Mehigan for being a little tired. But when we catch up with the famed foodie over the phone, he’s full of pep and showing no signs of slowing down. “In the last two of three years I’ve really relished what I’m doing. For me as a chef, a restaurateur and a foodie it’s the best time of my life,” smiles Gary (51), who judges the show alongside fellow Australian chefs Matt Preston (54) and George Calombaris (40). “I remember once a woman got quite angry asking why we didn’t have a female judge on the show and I said, ‘Because no one’s ever taking our jobs!’” He has just returned from South Africa where he’s been promoting MasterChef Australia,…

For more than three decades, Dr Frances Pitsilis has been at the forefront of general medicine, delivering babies, working in emergency medicine and even administering cosmetic procedures. She’s shared her knowledge on breakfast television and her former show, Is Modern Medicine Killing You?, and makes it her mission to improve the lives of those suffering from chronic illnesses. But while Frances (60) has spent her career devoted to the health of others, she wasn’t aware when she was hurtling towards two major burnouts. “I was chairperson of the After Hours service and I was doing obstetrics – which is a 24-hour job. My worst ever thing is that I wouldn’t get sleep for five days. I’d work in the day and deliver babies in the night,” she recalls of her…

Send your foodie thoughts and questions to Nici: nwickes@bauermedia.co.nz Easy paella SERVES 6-8 (OR MORE AS A SIDE) Each region in Spain has its own variation of paella, depending on local ingredients.

The rest is optional! 6 tbsp olive oil 2 large onions, diced 1 red capsicum, thinly sliced 5 garlic cloves, grated 4 ripe tomatoes, grated to a pulp 2 cups calasparra rice ½ tsp saffron threads, soaked in 1 tbsp warm water 1-1.5 litres vegetable or chicken stock 12-16…

Dear Wendyl, I recently bought a tracksuit made of 100% polyester and despite handwashing, drip-drying, brushing and wiping down with a damp face cloth, it’s still covered in dust and fluff. Do you have any solutions? Thank you, Jean Dear Jean, The best thing I’ve found to get rid of dust and fluff on clothes is to pop them in the clothes dryer. Something to do with the heat, plus the static, means that fluff comes right off. The only other thing I could suggest is to put a cup of white vinegar into the final rinse as this can often help release debris from the fibres. Do you have a question or a tip for Wendyl?

HOW TO GET THERE: Step off any plane at Auckland Airport and you’re already there! BEST BEVERAGE: It’s hard to go past Villa Maria’s epic sauvignon blancs, but when you’re at a winery, it’s time to try varieties you’ve never tasted before, such as their delicious albarino, or even a sémillon. The lovely folk of Villa will guide you through your pick. villamaria.co.nz . BEST DINNER: Give Naumi’s in-house restaurant Paksa a go. From Kiwi classics such as braised lamb shoulder, through to the chain’s signature Singaporean takes on mee goreng and laksa, you’re guaranteed to find a dish for you. naumihotels.com/aucklandairport . BEST TIP: It’s hard to oversell the convenience of staying so close to the airport, particularly when you have an early morning…

Marvellous Martin! At first glance I thought the person on the cover of the October 8 Weeklywas our Dame Kiri Te Kanawa. However, I was very much mistaken on closer inspection. Jane Fonda certainly looks amazing for an 80-year-old, with skin that is blemish and line-free! There is no mistaking the distinctive features of Martin Clunes, though. He is one of my favourite actors and makes a perfect Doc Martin. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your article on him, in particular about how the Cornish village (where the show is filmed) has been transformed with tourists hoping for a glimpse or chat with the charming doc. His love of animals, especially dogs, must make playing the role of dog-detesting Doc Martin difficult at times, but what a fine actor he is!…

The hit quiz show just got personal! The Family Chase is a new spin-off series from the hit original show that sees family members working together to try to win big money by answering general knowledge questions without being caught by the Chasers. Host Bradley Walsh says the family dynamic is set to bring more drama and tension than ever before. “What we quickly discovered was that families aren’t frightened to say what they mean and mean what they say,” tells Bradley. “Imagine anything you’ve said to your family while you’re watching our show, in the privacy of your front room... well, these families take it into the studio!”…

YOUR BOOK CLUB Want to make The Bus on Thursday your next book club read? Here’s a talking point to kick things off. Discuss the approach to cancer this author takes. Does it make you feel uncomfortable? Or do you find it refreshing? She lives in Sydney and is an award-winning Australian screenwriter and director. This is her second novel. This novel was inspired by… “In part my friend Kate, who had breast cancer and a mastectomy at 29, which as you can imagine was horrifying for her. She has a very dark, funny way of talking about it, and I pretty much stole her voice for the protagonist, Eleanor. Then I went and got cancer myself, so got to add my own gruesome stories into the mix.” The most…

It was a tale of a prince and a knight on the red carpet, with Kiwi director Sir Peter Jackson escorting Prince William into the premiere of his new film They Shall Not Grow Old in London last week. A jovial William (36) looked thrilled to see the Lord of the Rings director again, remarking of the last time they met, “You tried to get me into an orc suit!” William visited Peter’s aviation heritage centre in Wellington during his last trip to New Zealand – fitting given William’s service in the Royal Air Force. Peter (56) says of the prince, “I hope he likes it; he came down to New Zealand a few years ago and visited our First World War plane collection - he wanted to grab a…

It was the coat that gave the game away. When Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, turned up at the wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank in a loose coat rather than one of her usual figure-hugging dresses, tongues began to wag. And when she arrived in Sydney two days later carrying two large purple folders that blocked her midriff, she might as well have held a sign that read, Baby on Board. Shortly after they touched down, Kensington Palace announced that Meghan and her husband, Prince Harry, were expecting their first child, possibly because the rumour mill had gone into such overdrive, it seemed pointless to keep the happy news secret any longer. Insiders say they kept quiet until after the latest royal wedding because they didn’t want to steal…

What a week it’s been for the royals – and the good news kept coming, with the Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge’s sister, Pippa Middleton, giving birth to her first child. Pippa (35) and husband James Matthews (43) welcomed a son on Monday, October 15 - weighing eight pounds, nine ounces - much to the delight of the royal family, and the Middleton and Matthews clans. The little boy is a cousin for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, and the fourth grandchild for Carole and Michael Middleton. A Kensington Palace spokesperson said Prince William and Kate were “thrilled”, while Pippa’s brother James was spotted visiting the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital, the same place Kate gave birth. New dad James has also been seen entering with several overnight…

Whiskey in a tea cup sounds like the kind of bad habit that puts Hollywood stars in rehab, but for Reese Witherspoon, it’s something very different. Reese has lived by her grandmother’s code ever since she was a little girl growing up in New Orleans, and the Oscar-winner believes it has helped bring her success and happiness. Dorothea died 20 years ago but Reese has never forgotten her grandmother’s saying about how women are like whiskey in a teacup – “beautiful, ornamental and put-together on the outside, but really strong and fiery on the inside!” The 42-year-old actress and producer has turned the saying into a new book, which focuses on her heritage, upbringing and the code she still lives by today in sharing her happiness, putting others at ease…

Jill Hutchison doesn’t like a fuss. Whether it’s celebrating her recent 70th birthday or being recognised as one of the longest-serving volunteers at Ronald McDonald House Charities New Zealand, this humble grandmother isn’t one to pat herself on the back. When the Weekly contacts her for an interview, she reluctantly agrees – if only to highlight the difference the charity can make in creating a ‘home away from home’ for families who have a child in hospital. “I call it my second home now too!” chuckles Jill, who for the past 20 years has selflessly donated her time each week at the organisation’s Auckland houses. She has done everything from cleaning ovens and making lunches to teaching card making at its onsite school. But her biggest role is as head…

What’s your brew of choice? A medium latte, no sugar. What’s your favourite sweet treat to have with your cuppa? It would have to be a muffin – we have the best raspberry and white chocolate ones! When you’re not behind the coffee machine, what are you doing? I love sport, so you’d probably find me down the defence end of the netball court, or up a mountain snowboarding! I try and get to the snow at least once or twice a year. What’s your biggest dream you’d like to accomplish? One day, I’d love to have my own little business with my sister – a nice bar and restaurant, which also does coffee, obviously! But for now, I’m excited to see where I can go with BP, I just…

This week’s model Helene shares her beauty secrets with us… What’s your favourite part of having your make-up done? Getting to learn new tricks! I’m not the most adventurous person when it comes to things such as contouring and highlighting, so when a pro does it, I try and take it all in. It’s a little harder with eye make-up because I’ve usually got my eyes closed. Ha! What’s the most expensive part of your beauty routine? Having regular massages, which isn’t cheap. They are more about managing the foibles of my tricky back and stress than beauty as such, but I feel a million bucks after a good one and I think that shows on my face. The most inexpensive? Goodness Break-Up Make-Up Balm, my favourite cleanser, which comes…

SPILLING THE TEA! In the 1980s, I was at a meeting for a photography club. We had boiled the kettle for a cuppa, only to discover there was no milk. One member was a dairy farmer so he headed home to grab some from his nearby cowshed. He returned 10 minutes later with the milk in his boot as he didn’t have anything else to put it in. Of course no-one knew so drank their tea unawares! Ann Kearney, Kerikeri SEE-THROUGH SANTA Miss Three’s uncle offered to play Santa at the kindy Christmas party one year. When it was Miss Three’s turn, she climbed onto his knee and instead of saying what she wanted for Christmas, she stared intently into the bearded gentleman’s face. “Haven’t I seen you somewhere before?”…

A month or so ago, I wrote a column about my plans to knit my yet-to-be-born second grandchild a little cardigan. I really wanted to make something for this one as I felt I’d dropped the ball by not knitting a garment for baby Bart. Plenty of kind Weekly readers and ZB listeners filled the gap, sending in all manner of gorgeous handcrafted knits for Bart, but I wanted to do it this time. However, I’m running out of time. I didn’t take my knitting with me to India and Myanmar, and I was right not to. There was no spare time for sitting quietly and knitting – we were just too busy interviewing and writing, and travelling from province to province. And I didn’t take my project with me…

A STAR IS BORN RATING M The title could well refer to lead actress Lady Gaga, who steps into the shoes of Janet Gaynor, Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand in this third remake of the 1937 classic about the dangers of fame. The Poker Face singer transforms from a dressed-to-shock pop star into a credible leading lady. She shines as an aspiring musician who shoots to stardom after an unlikely encounter with a gravel-voiced rock god, brilliantly played by Bradley Cooper, who also co-wrote and directed the film. The two leads deliver stellar performances that will have you in tears and make up for the many moments of melodrama. Believe the Oscar buzz. Sebastian van der Zwan…

This book starts out bonkers and just gets crazier. I didn’t so much finish it as get spat out at the end, not quite knowing what had happened. But there were things I really liked about it. For a start, it is hugely original. The thing I loved was this novel’s irreverent take on getting diagnosed with cancer. There is no pussyfooting around. The tone is acid, spirited and very funny. Eleanor can’t believe she has breast cancer. Isn’t she too young? She hasn’t even had children yet. In fact, she doesn’t have a boyfriend either because she and Josh split when she realised he didn’t want kids. Her best friend Sally is far too busy being a bridezilla to be any help, things don’t go well at the breast…

Ho ho no! There was a collective gasp when news broke that Michael Bublé was retiring from music and his upcoming Sydney performance could be his last! After a tough few years for the Canadian crooner while his eldest child Noah (5) battled cancer, Michael declared in an interview last week the experience had made him view fame differently and he would “be retiring from the business”. In an interview with a British newspaper, Michael, who is also dad to Elias (2) and two-month-old Vida, reportedly said he was done with the shallowness and viciousness of show business. “The diagnosis made me realise how stupid I’d been to worry about these unimportant things. I was embarrassed by my ego, that it had allowed this insecurity. “I don’t have the stomach…
