For many years after the tragic death of his beloved mother, Prince William was expected to take the very British approach of a stiff upper lip when it came to dealing with his loss. But with the help of his loving wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, who has become a leading advocate for mental health issues, the 34-year-old heir is taking the brave step of opening up about his grief. And as he and his brother, Prince Harry, 32, prepare for the 20-year anniversary of Princess Diana’s death on August 31, insiders say they are more determined than ever to use their experience to help others. “This is a huge step for Wills in particular because it’s not in his nature to wear his heart on his sleeve,” a royal…

The friendship code only applies to actual friends – that’s Selena Gomez’s defence and she’s sticking to it! The singer feels not a scrap of guilt about her hot new hook-up with Grammy-winning rapper The Weeknd, the hunky ex of supermodel Bella Hadid. Although he and Bella amicably ended their 18-month relationship last November, the 20-year-old catwalk stunner is fuming about his budding romance with a fellow member of Taylor Swift’s girl squad. But in Selena’s eyes, The Weeknd is fair game. While they are connected through Taylor, the “Hands to Myself” hit-maker does not consider Bella – or her 21-year-old sister Gigi – to be friends at all. “Selena has never had a relationship with those girls,” reports a well-placed source. “They have never made an effort to like…

Don’t tell his estranged wife, but it looks like Ben Affleck has a blonde for every occasion! The Argo star, 44, recently walked the red carpet at the Golden Globes with blonde bombshell Sienna Miller, 35, and the good-looking pair, who have already been dubbed Bienna, have been flirting up a storm at screenings of their new gangster film Live by Night. Meanwhile, father-of-three Ben – who split from his wife Jennifer Garner, 44, last year amid reports that he’d slept with their children’s nanny – has also been snapped spending time with another blonde in Beverly Hills. The woman, seen smiling adoringly at a sombre and dishevelled Ben, was 34-year-old medical professional Elizabeth Weaver, who offers “sober companion support” to her clients. A source close to Ben – who…

She’s adopted two children, had one via a surrogate and conceived another naturally. Now, at 49, Nicole Kidman is looking to fulfil her dreams of motherhood through another means. “I’m one of the few people in the world who has experienced so many different forms of it,” the Lion actress confessed last week. “But I haven’t had the child from a donor egg. I haven’t also been a foster mother and I’m very interested in that.” However, Nicole isn’t ruling out another natural pregnancy, pointing out that one of her grandmothers gave birth at 49 and saying, “I still have the faintest hope that something may happen to me this year.” Now that her adopted children – Isabella, 24, and Connor, 22, with ex Tom Cruise – are adults, and…

He was the motorbike-riding, drug-taking philanderer whose marriage to Princess Margaret was a bombshell to the stuffy royal family. Affectionately dubbed the “first royal rebel”, Lord Antony Snowdon, who died at home on January 13 at 86, had a knack for scandal. He indulged in affairs with both men and women, and fathered a secret love child. But he remained one of the Windsors’ most trusted photographers and will be remembered for a string of iconic shots. “The twin motivating forces in his life were work and sex, both backed by an immense, charismatic charm and a drive and determination unfettered by usual constraints,” says his biographer Anne de Courcy. Born Antony Armstrong-Jones to a Welsh barrister father and glamorous English mother in 1930, he spent his childhood shuttling between…

When she was born in 1957, Princess Caroline was the heiress presumptive to Monaco’s throne, destined for a fairytale life. But as she marks her 60th birthday this week, three times married and banned from the palace, Caroline has confessed to friends, “Life hasn’t turned out quite the way I hoped.” Dubbed “Princess Perfect” by her younger sister Princess Stéphanie, 51, the eldest child of the late Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III is devastated that, after years of plotting and scheming, she’s been left with no official royal role to play. And she’s lonely and humiliated after her husband, Prince Ernst of Hanover, 62, was spotted on the arm of a 27-year-old brothel worker in Berlin last year. But there’s little sympathy coming from her younger brother, Monaco’s ruler…

When rap legend LL Cool J turned up on Nadine Levitt’s doorstep in Los Angeles, she knew she’d made it. The Lip Sync Battle host was so impressed with the German-born, Kiwi-raised entrepreneur’s free karaoke app Wurrly that he decided to invest in her business – hence the home visit. “We’d just moved house and everything was in disarray, boxes everywhere,” laughs Nadine, 37. “When I heard he was dropping by, I frantically tried to tidy up a bit. It’s not every day LL Cool J comes over!” The successful Santa Monica-based mum-of-two now also counts Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am and model Chrissy Teigen as pals. But Nadine’s journey to the big time began in Auckland, where she studied opera in her teens, then completed a law degree at…

BYOD ( BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE ) With around half of schools expecting students to have either a laptop or tablet, choosing the right device can be confusing – and expensive – for parents. There’s a lot of choice out there and it’s a big investment you want to get right. Here’s what the tech experts at Noel Leeming advise. TECHY TIPS • There are generally three price levels: $300-$600 for primary, $600-$1000 for high school and $1000-plus for tertiary. • The school should provide you with guidelines about operating systems and preferred models. • When it comes to size and weight, it pays to check if your child will be able to comfortably carry the device in their bag. • Children aren’t known for their delicate fingers, so choose…

I have always seen myself as the absolute picture of grace and decorum, but after a recent movie-going incident, the Ginger told me I’m basically one big ball of embarrassment swathed, usually, in cashmere shawls and colourful scarves. Why? Because I asked for a cup of hot water at the cinema’s nibble nook and then produced a peppermint teabag out of my handbag and did my own dunking. I defended myself by saying that I hadn’t intended to bring the teabags, just found them in my bag while I was looking for my phone. “But how did they get there in the first place?” he asked. Why, I appropriated them from an airport lounge, of course. How else? But this too apparently counts as a crime of indecent mortification. I…

You know that feeling when everyone’s gone away to exciting places and you’re having a staycation, telling people it’s because you want to relax and enjoy the city, when really you blew all your pay on fruit cakes, tinsel and absolute rubbish, and now you can’t afford to fill the gas tank, so you reason that buses are more eco-friendly? Me too. I’ve never had a bach or holiday home. I always imagine if I did, I’d have to be terribly wealthy or have stolen someone’s identity. I generally stay home for holidays. Mainly because I forget to plan, but I do love the luxury of my beautiful city when everyone stuffs off to Waikikamukau. The trouble is, when they do, if anything breaks down, well, you’re screwed. I’m a…

When news broke that Prince Harry was seeing Suits actress Meghan Markle, certain palace aides and members of the royal family feared he’d made an ill-advised choice with the divorcee, whose background was a far cry from aristocratic British circles. And now their anxieties appear to be warranted after Meghan’s half-brother Thomas was arrested on gun charges in Oregon last week. The 50-year-old – whose father, Thomas Markle Snr, is also Meghan’s dad – was taken into custody after a drunken row with his girlfriend Darlene Blount, with police alleging he held a gun to her head. But in an exclusive interview with Woman’s Day, Thomas has spoken about the drama and is begging his sister and her royal boyfriend for forgiveness. “Please forgive me and let me come to…

The biological mother of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Zahara has made an emotional plea to the actress to be allowed to talk to her 12-year-old daughter. Mentewab Dawit Lebiso, 31, who lives in Ethiopia, said last week, “I just want her to know that I am alive and here, and long to be able to speak with her. I do not want my daughter back but just to be in contact with her, and be able to call her up and talk with her.” Angelina adopted Zahara, then six months, as a single mother in 2005. A year later, Brad became her legal father. Mentewab, however, never forgot about her daughter. “Angelina has been more of a mother to her than I have ever been,” she says. “She…

You heard right! After finalising her nasty divorce from Johnny Depp, smitten Amber Heard is preparing to go public with a new billionaire boyfriend. The Magic Mike XXL actress, 30, is dating business tycoon Elon Musk, 45, who’s worth a whopping $15 billion after founding PayPal and Tesla Motors, and has reportedly been pursuing Amber for years. The pair were first spotted together last July, soon after Amber’s explosive split from Johnny in May, and a close source reports, “Amber is smitten with Elon. They’re already planning a lot of adventures together and she’s relieved she can move on with her life.” In Amber’s divorce deal, rubber-stamped last week, Johnny, 53, will keep his vast collection of vintage cars, plus properties in Hollywood, Paris and the Bahamas. Amber, meanwhile, will…

Forget the team of bloodthirsty, sword-wielding assassins she fought off in Kill Bill. Or the drug-dealing mafia hitmen she associated with in Pulp Fiction. Uma Thurman is facing an even more ferocious opponent in her vicious custody battle with her former fiancé. French financier Arpad “Arki” Busson, 53, has claimed the actress has a “serious mental illness” and takes a cocktail of prescription medication, washed down with alcohol, suggesting she’s an emotionally unstable mother to their daughter Luna, four. Although it’s true Uma, 46, is taking pills for depression, anxiety and insomnia, an independent psychologist told the court she doesn’t suffer from a personality disorder – just a “mild learning difficulty” and “some attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder”. The star’s drinking was deemed irrelevant. Uma and Arki – who also has two…

After four years in the army, Brodie Kane thought she was pretty good at handling early starts. But those brutal 5am military wake-up calls have nothing on her new life as sports reporter on Breakfast television, where her days start at 3.30am! “It’s hardcore,” she laughs as we catch up on the eve of Breakfast’s return to our screens this week. “I mean, it’s still the night time when my alarm goes off. I’ve learnt that I have to be disciplined – in bed by 8.30pm or I’m in trouble!” But the sports-mad TVNZ star confesses she’s fallen asleep in some strange places since she started in her new role last year – once while getting her nails done and again while waiting for her car at the mechanic’s. “I…

In real life, 800 Words stars Melina Vidler and Benson Jack Anthony get along like a house on fire. But today there’s one thing they can’t see eye to eye on – and that’s if they should research jumping off the 328m-tall Sky Tower before doing it themselves. “I would freak out if I didn’t know exactly what was going to happen,” explains Benson, who has just finished telling us the human body reaches speeds of up to 80km/h when free-falling off the Auckland landmark. “I would freak out if I did know,” laughs Melina. “It’s like googling childbirth – you just don’t! You don’t want to see what happens to you. You just want it to happen and then you can move on.” Sipping on soy lattes, Sydney imports…

After the loss of their little girl Azaria and the three decades of public vilification that followed, it seemed impossible the Chamberlain family could survive any more tragedy. Yet now they’ve suffered another blow, with patriarch Michael dying suddenly due to leukaemia complications. Two-month-old Azaria was taken by a dingo while sleeping in the family’s tent at Uluru in 1980. Police accused her mother Lindy of murder and her Kiwi-born father Michael of helping cover up the crime. In what would become one of the most famous miscarriages of justice in the world, Lindy was wrongly convicted and jailed. “He went camping with his family… a dingo killed his baby and the trauma of that, and what happened subsequently, never left him,” reveals one friend. “He loved Lindy so very,…

It’s hard to get your head back into the “school” zone after such a long break, but sadly for kids (and luckily for parents), holidays do come to an end. Our holidays felt especially long, given my boys left to play in the New Zealand Junior team for the United States and Canadian Squash Opens at the start of December. They got to places I haven’t even been. “Look, Mum, we’re at Niagara Falls!” “Woohoo, Yale!” “Awesome, Boston rocks.” “Wow, it’s cool to be in New York.” Snapchat stories full of snow, American buffets and glass-backed squash courts poured in. They were having a ball. Everything after that was anti-climactic. And now it’s over. The school bell is about to ring, that alarm is getting ready to chirp and the…

Hollywood faves Sienna Miller and Ben Affleck steam up the screen in their new flick Live by Night, which is adapted from a 2012 Dennis Lehane novel set in 1920s Boston. Ben plays Joe Coughlin, the son of a respected police officer who returns from World War I and, instead of following in his father’s footsteps, becomes a gangster. We catch up with Sienna, who plays Joe’s love interest Emma Gould, to get the dirt on this hot watch! Ben not only stars in the film, but he’s also a producer, screenwriter and director. When he approached you, what was it that made you want to take the role? When I read the script, I loved the writing – I found it to be so floral and poetic. I remember…

Available to stream on Neon. “Suit up!” The catchphrase of Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) on How I Met Your Mother. Watch it on Netflix and try counting how many times he says it! “Dave, every kid does one thing in school that they’re defined by. And you really don’t want yours to be mime. Because that is an invisible box that you cannot get out of.” Ken (Ken Jeong) to his son on the TVNZ 2 comedy, Dr Ken. “He’s like a superhero, but his power is that you can’t remember him no matter how much time you spend with him. Kind of like every Marvel movie ever.” Lorelai (Lauren Graham) talking about her daughter…

It’s classic school-holiday mode at my house. And as lovely as the summer break has been for the family, I think it’s well and truly time for my lazy kids to go back to school. This morning, I had to get ready for work quietly and slip out of the house as they slumbered in their messy rooms, the curtains drawn. For the first summer in history, we have a pool in place of the concrete hole we stared at for years, and it’s meant we have a house full of extra children staying. When the kids are not swimming or staring at their phones, they mull about with sun-kissed limbs and beach hair, using towels once and casting them aside with no care in the world. They only tend…

As she returns home from Australia with husband Mike, Zara Tindall has told friends she’s hoping to become pregnant again as soon as possible. The down-to-earth royal was devastated when she miscarried her second child in the fourth month of pregnancy recently, but she managed to put on a brave face to promote the Magic Millions racehorse auction house in Queensland last week. With Mike by her side, she seemed happy and relaxed, even dusting herself off and continuing on after falling from her horse during a polo match. “Zara is an incredibly strong and stoic person,” says a friend. “She and Mike were absolutely devastated to lose their baby, but she’s been given the all-clear to start trying again and they’re hoping to have happy news soon.” The friend…

All eyes were on Victoria Beckham as she stepped out in bright yellow bell-bottoms with her daughter Harper, but neither the major style moment nor the adorable wee girl’s antics could bring a smile to the designer’s face as the pair indulged in some retail therapy in London last week. Behind the scenes, the fashionista formerly known as Posh Spice is devastated and humiliated that her beloved clothing empire is crumbling. Last year alone, her label lost a whopping $8 million, requiring her to borrow $11.5 million from one of her husband David’s companies to keep it afloat – which has put added strain on their rocky 17-year marriage. “Victoria has suffered a lot of knocks over the past year, but this is the biggest blow yet,” reports a source…

You might think that after being bound, gagged and robbed of $16 million worth of precious gems at gunpoint, Kim Kardashian West might be a little wary of reliving the experience for a film that’s all about jewellery heists. But the 36-year-old reality queen, who went to ground in the three months following her terrifying Paris assault, didn’t miss her chance to shoot a cameo in the all-female Ocean’s Eight action flick. In the film, she joins her little sister Kendall Jenner, 21, to glam up for a scene set in a fake Met Gala. The movie also stars Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett and Rihanna. Kim’s big return to the spotlight comes as terrifying details of her October 3 attack were released in a leaked police interview. In the star’s…

When Offspring star Ido Drent married his sweetheart Mandy back in 2011, the theme of their wedding was story writing. They’d always imagined what sort of future they would create together and desperately hoped it would include children. Now, as they introduce their adorable new baby daughter Elliotte – a sister for 21-month-old Bastion, known as Baz – the couple say their story is turning out better than they ever could have dreamed of. “Having babies puts everything else into perspective,” says Ido, as his little girl snuggles into his chest. “Sometimes I look around and I just can’t believe how lucky we are. It’s like a dream.” Baby Elliotte arrived on November 8 last year, and Ido and Mandy, both 29, say they’ve been happily surprised by how easily…

The idea of home is a little complicated for Kiwi actor Erik Thomson. While he lives happily with his family in Australia, when it comes to his roots, New Zealand is where his heart is. But Erik experienced the best of both worlds when reprising his role as widower George Turner in 800 Words. Not only did he spend six months filming in his beloved Aotearoa, but he got to enjoy the nostalgic experience with his family in tow too. “It was a bit tricky to have us all out here in season one, so this time around was really special,” smiles the Packed to the Rafters star, 49, who lives with wife Caitlin McDougall and their kids Eilish, nine, and Magnus, five, outside Adelaide. “We all stayed at my…

For 11 long years, Chantelle Luke endured pain and heartache as she battled to keep her son Dayton alive. Born with a rare condition that left him unable to eat, even the simple act of swallowing water made him choke and he has spent much of his life in hospital. But the last year has brought the Taranaki mum more joy than she could have ever dreamt of – Dayton has learnt to eat on his own and Chantelle, 32, has welcomed a gorgeous new baby boy named Falcon. “I didn’t realise how hard my life had been until it got good and I was happy,” she tells us as she introduces her little bundle of joy. “This baby has healed our family and washed away our hardships.” Wee Falcon…

This historic region in the middle of Turkey – a one-hour flight from Istanbul or Antalya – has more natural wonders than you can poke a stick at. Fancy towering boulders, honeycombed hills and underground cities, plus delicious mezze? Then this is the place. 1 The landscape Soft stone is part of the fairytale landscape here and it has provided very well for local populations over the centuries. From “fairy chimneys” rising out of the ground to whole cities made of ancient apartment blocks carved into cliffs or tunnelled into the ground, it’s a feast for the eyes. Endless valleys disappear into the distance in a kaleidoscope of different hues, little plots grow grapes and apricots, and wild asparagus dots the hiking trails. Pigeons now live where humans once did,…

Q My teenage daughter has started to pack on the make-up. She covers every inch of her body – from her false eyelashes to her fake tan and fingernails. I’ve never really worn a lot, so I don’t know why she feels she has to slather herself in the stuff. She is so much prettier without it, but she won’t listen to me. Why does she want to look 20 when she’s only 15? • Confused, via email A Because she’s 15 and wants to look 20. Babe, a lot of girls go through this phase and it usually ends when a boy or cooler girl tells her she wears too much make-up. If her mother tries, she’ll add another inch of foundation. Fifteen is a tricky age where they…

These leading lads are the stars of the show, but they have both also directed some of the episodes. The on-screen lovebirds were actually friends six years before Suits even started.

Beating out Julia Roberts and Meryl Str eep for the Favourite Dramatic Movie Actress prize, Blake Lively was one of the big winners at last week’s People’s Choice Awards in Los Angeles, where she dedicated her award to hubby Ryan Reynolds. “Thank you to my husband,” The Shallows star declared, clutching her trophy. And when the audience scr eamed, she quipped, “You can’t have him – he’s mine!” Blake, 29, also added some girl power to her speech, saying, “My mum always taught me as a kid that you can’t ever let anyone limit you. Don’t ever let anyone tell you there’s something you can’t do ... so I set a goal for myself. I knew if I could accomplish it, that I would be successful and I would be…
