Asunkissed Duchess of Cambridge was glowing with joy as she made her first public appearance since returning from a blissful family vacation on a private island in the Caribbean. With her luscious locks and tanned limbs, the royal beauty was the star of the show at the inaugural King’s Cup at the Isle of Wight – that was until little Princess Charlotte and a gap-toothed Prince George stole the spotlight! Four-year-old Charlotte had the crowds roaring with laughter after the playful princess cheekily poked her tongue out at the spectators below. Kate quickly jumped into mum mode and tried to stop her girl, but even she couldn’t contain her laughter after Charlotte’s mischievous move. Joining in on the fun, six-year-old George was spotted wearing an adorable nautical-themed outfit complete with…

When Prince William first fell in love with Kate Middleton as fresh-faced university students, critics wondered how the young “commoner” would cope with the pressures and demands of marrying the second-in-line to the throne. But the future Duchess of Cambridge set about proving her doubters wrong, and now, after almost a decade of flawless royal duty, Woman’s Day can reveal she’s been summoned to begin her training to be Queen. And the person in charge of preparing Kate for the crown? The monarch herself. “Kate’s been secretly meeting with the Queen and her most senior aides for the last three months,” reveals our palace source. “There’s a feeling of importance and urgency, with the Queen determined to pass on all she can so that Kate is prepared for what’s to…

While Reese’s love life has hit a big bump in the road, Ben Affleck’s is on the up-and-up! The divorced Argo actor has been on a string of secret dates with his stunning new co-star Ana de Armas, and word has it the pair are set to become Hollywood’s hottest new couple. An insider dishes that Ben, 46, has had a serious crush on Cuban-born Ana, 31, since seeing her in the erotic thriller Knock Knock – and when it came to casting his new thriller Deep Water, he pushed hard for her to be chosen as the lead actress. Once Ana landed the role, our insider says, the pair struck up an instant chemistry. “Ben speaks fluent Spanish and he used it to woo Ana when they first met…

She’s knocked off half a century and has two heartbreaking divorces behind her, but Jennifer Aniston is looking better than ever – and a new unauthorised biography is dishing the dirt on just how she’s managed it! “Jen’s having the time of her life,” says best-selling author Ian Halperin, who spoke to 350 sources to get the lowdown on the Dumplin’ actress for his book Friends with Benefits. And, he adds, she’s “having the last laugh” – particularly over her old rival Angelina Jolie. But looking as good as Jen does at 50 doesn’t come cheap! Ian claims the Friends alum – believed to be worth around $360 million – has invested in her “inner and outer health” by spending around $375,000 a year on everything from yoga and therapy…

The world little Matilda Browne will grow up in is likely to be a significantly safer, fairer and better one thanks to the courage and commitment of her mother Hayley. The 34-year-old is a true fighter – someone who believes wholeheartedly in doing the right thing, and someone who has spent the last five years battling two governments who completely let her down. “All I ever asked for,” begins Hayley, relaxing with Matilda nestled in her chest at the Napier home she shares with her husband Dan, “was to be treated with the most basic of human rights – respect.” And, finally, following hundreds of hours in courtrooms, mediation, lawyers’ offices, and in therapy, and countless tears, frustration and traumatic flashbacks, the former naval offficer has been given the respect…

A happy life is really all about expectations, isn’t it? Limit those and you’ll be in a constant state of amazement. Let them get away on you and it’s a world of disappointment. I was reminded of this the other day when I made a rare appearance at the gym, which in itself is an exercise in expectation. For example, I expect that I will go to the gym five times a week. I belong to two of them, so you’d think it would work out. Instead, I go to the gym once a week if I’m lucky and spend the other six days feeling bad about it. But if I adjusted my compass so I only expected to go once a week, how great that would feel! I hadn’t…

Remember as a child your mother would always say something along the lines of, “Move back from the television – you’ll ruin your eyesight. You’ll get square eyes!” Good Lord – maybe she was on to something? So here’s the story that hopefully will ensure you never, ever go to sleep with a full face of make-up on again. Last week I woke up at 2am. I was wide, wide awake like an excited kid on Christmas morning, but with no presents or chocolates or Christmas tree. ‘I looked like a Raggedy Ann doll in a slasher film’ I considered turning the TV on and drifting back to sleep, but in a lightning bolt moment, I leapt out of bed in my Dr. Seuss jim-jams and hopped in the shower.…

As the world’s youngest self-made billionaire, Kylie Jenner is living her best – and eyewateringly expensive – life, celebrating her 22nd birthday with friends and family in Italy. Money is certainly no object for the make-up mogul, who has chartered a $385 million luxury superyacht for the occasion!…

When the Duchess of Sussex turned 38 last week, it was special for many reasons – her second birthday since joining the royal family and her first since becoming a mum to baby Archie. But instead of a lavish party with her A-list pals, she and Prince Harry – who wished his “amazing wife” a happy birthday on Instagram – are believed to have celebrated quietly at Balmoral Castle, where they’ve been holidaying with three-month-old Archie and the Queen. “Harry organised for the palace chefs to create a beautiful afternoon tea, which Meghan adored,” tells a source. “The Queen was there, as well as various other members of the royal family. It felt very special.” And later that night, chefs prepared a romantic candlelit dinner for the new parents, where…

Wedding bells rang on July 27 for British musician Leona Lewis and longtime boyfriend, choreographer Dennis Jauch, 30. The lavish ceremony was held at singer Sting’s stunning Tuscan vineyard, just south of Florence. “It was just the most beautiful day, full of love,” Leona, 34, reveals. “It was so special to be able to bring together everyone we love. There were lots of tears.” The stunning bride, who shot to fame after winning The X Factor in 2006, walked down the aisle to “Ave Maria”, wearing a white tulle gown by Israeli designer Mira Zwillinger. The emotional ceremony took place in front of a golden Buddha statue in a chapel. Plans to continue celebrating outdoors were thwarted by a sudden electrical storm, but it wasn’t all bad – they moved…

Lily McManus made a name for herself as the cheeky, laid-back contestant on The Bachelor NZ in 2017, but behind her charming smile the young star was battling a secret. At the age of 15, Lily was diagnosed with a hearing impairment. She was told she would have to use hearing aids for the rest of her life. But for three years, she refused to wear them and even now just talking about it brings a tear to her eyes. “It took me a long time to come to terms with the fact that I had something that I couldn’t control or fix,” explains the 22-year-old. “When I was a kid, I thought I was indestructible. I was the biggest tomboy running around and then I was told I was…

As actor Mosese Veaila stands on a sports field in Mangere clutching a rugby ball, he could easily be mistaken for late rugby sensation Jonah Lomu, with his wide Tongan shoulders and towering height. He has the same gentle gaze as the sporting superstar who was feted across the globe for his indomitable prowess. Mosese – who was cast as the lead in the powerful upcoming mini-series Jonah, screening on the eve of the Rugby World Cup – is playing the South Auckland boy who made history, and it’s the perfect fit. After all, he was that kid himself. “When I heard about the role, I didn’t think in a million years I’d get it!” tells Mangereborn Mosese, 22. “I’m still like, ‘Damn’, because this guy was a god. He…

The world was shocked to learn of the death of Robert F. Kennedy’s beloved granddaughter Saoirse Kennedy Hill last week. The young woman – who was a picture of youth – died of a suspected overdose at the tender age of 22. Now, her heartbreaking passing has added to decades of tragic loss for the plagued family as what’s known as the “Kennedy Curse” strikes again. The Boston College student was found unresponsive at the Kennedy family compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts – the very home where she had made countless happy memories over many summers of swimming and sailing with her massive extended family. And, in the days leading up to her death, she had spent time with her cousin Meaghan Kennedy Birdzell, who hadn’t noticed any worrying signs.…

With winter well and truly here, it’s more important than ever to get our five-plus servings of fruit and vegetables each day. Ensuring we have enough vitamins and minerals in our diet is vital in boosting our immunity, reducing inflammation, lowering the risk of heart disease and cancer, as well as helping to maintain a healthy weight. Fruit and veges also contain fibre, which is great for gut health. While it might feel like the produce selection is a little dull at this time of year, there are plenty of ways to eat well with what’s in season. Opt for tasty choices like mandarins, apples, grapefruit, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, cauliflower and kumara. CRUNCH TIME Carrots are cheap, plentiful and delicious, so load up and eat them daily. Try carrot…

One of the many beauties and bonuses of rural living is the bird life. We have the most amazing collection of winged creatures at our place and we still marvel at them each time we see them. Herons, kingfishers, tui, kereru, hawks, parakeets ... they’re so beautiful to watch. We also have the less beautiful and more annoying birds like pukeko, which like to rip up all the new plantings – and they also terrorise the ducklings, which is not cool. We have a variety of ducks, but my favourite are the paradise ducks. They travel in a pair, are always together and they mate for life. They’re the cutest. Even though they’re overly friendly and like to come up to the front door and poo everywhere, I still think…

Last year, when The Bachelor Australia star Nick “Honey Badger” Cummins dumped his final two ladies in the finale and walked away from the reality series single, he left a tough task for whoever was going to come next. That person would feel a responsibility to fans to deliver a fairytale, to fall in love in front of the camera – and to make audiences fall back in love with the show they once adored before last season’s disappointing ending. It’s for that reason new Bachelor, 31-year-old astrophysicist Matt Agnew, felt the pressure. In fact, his parents’ fear that he too could be dubbed “Australia’s Most Hated Man” had them questioning whether this was a good decision. “They were initially very cautious,”Matt tells Woman’s Day. “You’re going from a very…

Leo JUL 24 - AUG 23 Shake out that mane and prepare to shine as interesting people – and some amazing opportunities – will be drawn towards you. Thursday’s full moon might expose a few cracks on the relationship front, but your newfound clarity could prompt some overdue changes.

His superhero flick was a hit, but it doesn’t look like Aquaman is done saving the world yet! Jason Momoa was spotted cruising about Hawaii last week with his wife Lisa Bonet, 51 – but the loved-up pair weren’t there just to enjoy the sunshine. The hunky actor, 40, was later seen standing front and centre at a protest against the building of a giant telescope on the island’s tallest mountain, which is sacred to locals. The Hawaiian-born star wore a leafy green lei around his neck and a matching crown as he held hands with locals in defiance. Jason drew cheers from the crowd when he spoke about how honoured he was to be there saying, “We’re not going anywhere.”…

It’s possibly slightly ridiculous to have celebrity crushes when one is my age, but I’m pretty certain that I won’t be the only middle-age woman getting a little flushed when they see Brad Pitt in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I’ve been lucky enough to see a preview of Quentin Tarantino’s ode to 1960s Hollywood and it’s a masterpiece – and so is Brad. I’m heading back for another viewing this weekend. To have two of my teen idols Brad and Leonardo DiCaprio sharing the same screen is a dream. Leo’s raw performance is Oscar-nomination worthy, but it’s Brad who has stuck in my head. Sheesh, that man has charisma. For those of us who can flashback 30 years to Mr Pitt’s hot-as-hell breakout role in Thelma & Louise…

Whew! New York was sweltering under the summer sun last week – and Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson took the opportunity to show their relationship is back on the sizzle too! The lovebirds took fans by surprise in June when it was revealed they’d called time on their cosy two-year relationship. But insiders now dish that the couple have reunited and, as our photographs show, they’re more in love than ever! Coldplay frontman Chris, 42, and Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota, 29, caught a Rolling Stones concert in New Jersey before spending a sun-soaked weekend in The Hamptons, frolicking in the sea and clearly enjoying each other’s company. “They were like a pair of lovestruck teenagers, racing each other on the sand and splashing around in the waves,” the…

Karl Burnett is no stranger to the world of television after starring in Shortland Street for 13 years, and appearing in multiple reality shows, including Sing Like a Superstar and Downsize Me. But as he gears up for the launch of Celebrity Treasure Island, there’s one important thing that’s changed in his life – Karl’s now a father! Just four months after the birth of his precious son Charlie, the actor found himself hopping on a plane and heading to Fiji for the rebooted series. “I always laughed when I was on a reality TV show and the other contestants would be crying because they missed their kids. I was like, ‘Harden up!’” he chuckles. “But the first day I was here, I was missing him so much. I can’t…

Another day and another adorable outing for Zara and Mike Tindall’s oh-so-cute family. The down-to-earth royals had a blast at the Festival of British Eventing at Gatcombe Park – Princess Anne’s home in Gloucestershire – and for once it wasn’t the couple’s eldest daughter Mia, five, who stole the show. Her 13-month-old sister Lena was seen walking for the first time at the event and it seems it won’t be long before she’s giving her big sis a run for her money! “Young Mia’s in for some competition – it’s pretty clear Lena’s got a big personality too,” says one royal onlooker. While Lena toddled around, inspecting the fairground attractions with her mum and getting a helping hand from her cousins Savannah, eight, and Isla Phillips, seven, energetic Mia executed…

If movie star-turned entrepreneur Jessica Alba’s Instagram is anything to go by, the stunning mum-of-three’s life appears to be an exciting whirlwind of glamorous events, magic family moments and luxury holidays. But when the 38-year-old meets Woman’s Day to talk about her latest role in TVshow LA’s Finest,she insists she’s much like any other working mum. With daughters Honor, 11, and Haven, seven, and one-year-old son Hayes at home, and a booming business to run, she’s completely honest about the exhausting reality of juggling her work and home life. “You just try to parent as best you can, given the day-to-day circumstances,” she says, confessing that she and her husband Cash Warren barely got a wink of sleep the previous night because Haven had been unwell. “She was sick with…

JOHN F. KENNEDY The second child of Joseph and Rose was the 35th President of the United States. He was assassinated, aged 46, on November 22, 1963, while travelling through Dallas, Texas, in a motorcade with his wife Jackie. ROBERT F. KENNEDY Saoirse’s grandfather Bobby was also assassinated, shortly after winning the Californian Democratic primary election on June 5, 1968. He was 42.

Somehow Anna Jullienne makes being a busy mum-of-two look effortlessly glam. The actress is most famous for playing Nurse Maia Jeffries on Shortland Street, but since leaving the soap she has lit up both stage and screen with her sparkling and seriously talented ways. Currently starring in Mean Mums 2 on Three, she chats to us about her skincare and beauty routine, and the advice she’d give to her younger self. What was your first experience with beauty? I loved watching my mum get ready for nights out. A total babe in full ’80s glam – hot rollers, big clip-on earrings and black body suits. What’s your morning and evening skincare routine? I love Dermalogica skincare and have been using it for well over a decade. I cleanse, tone and…

Andrew simply loves cooking for his family. Growing up in Fiji, meal times were all about coming together and telling stories. Even when they were busy they always made time to sit down for dinner. These days, Andrew’s aim is to get his kids to try something new, but he’s always got some quick, simple recipes up his sleeve to rely on. “Mum’s fish curry is my favourite go-to. It’s creamy and flavourful – it’s a hit!” he says. Andrew’s Fast Fijian Fish Curry SERVES: 4 PREPARATION & COOKING: 30 minutes 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 large onion, finely chopped 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger 1 red chilli, sliced, plus extra to serve 2 teaspoons Gregg’s ground cardamom 2 teaspoons Gregg’s ground cumin 2 teaspoons…

When our capital city is wet or windy, I reckon there are more places to hide out than anywhere else in the country. 1 The hotel Particularly hidden by roadworks the weekend I stayed, even on a good day you could walk past the entrance to the new DoubleTree by Hilton in Grey St and not realise what fabulousness lurks inside. The old T&G building on the corner of Lambton Quay – built in 1928 and one of the city’s first office towers – has been lovingly restored to art deco perfection. It’s worth just popping up to the first floor restaurant to check out the stairs and the elevators. But the rooms, especially the suites, are to die for. All that and a piping hot cookie…

Q  I’m on a limited budget and find it hard to cook meals for my big family. What are your go-to meals to feed a crowd that don’t cost the earth? I’m horrified every time I go to the supermarket and have to spend a fortune. My kids eat so much and I’m struggling with meal ideas that are cheap and cheerful! • Dinner Lady, Ngaruawahia A Pasta is always a good bet. Pasta with olive oil and pesto with a little bit of parmesan cheese on the top is delicious. The best idea for you, though, is to get hold of Jamie Oliver’s 5 Ingredients: Quick and Easy Food cookbook. The man is a genius! Q My elderly mum broke her hip and needs help. I know I should…

Jonah Lomu is an indisputable rugby icon – and now fans can relive the magic of his story in the dramatic newmini-series Jonah. This tale about the All Blacks legend who touched the lives of so many people is definitely one to watch. Ahead of the premiere this week, we chat to some of the stars and ask about their memories of the legendary Kiwi. JACQUI NAUMAN AS NADENE LOMU “As a young girl I remember watching Jonah on TV and it always felt like I knew him personally … It was strange. He had that type of charisma and personable nature – it was almost like watching my older brother. He was always ‘the one to watch’ and instilled a sense of ‘I can do and achieve anything in…

Living off the land After reading your article on Kiwi chef Monique Fiso (WD, Aug 12), I can’t wait to watch the New Zealand episode of Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted. I’m a latecomer to the merits of using our native bush as a food source and medicine cabinet – eating the white part of a cabbage tree leaf was a revelation! The kawakawa leaf is great as a tea, herb and ointment, and the kumarahou is effective for bronchial and lung problems. Monique will no doubt widen our horizons and, as she says, show us another side of Gordon. I am so impressed by Monique’s tenacity and pride, I can’t wait to see her episode. • Ann, Motueka Field of dreams I really hope young rugby player Briar Hales – the…

But what starts as a bonding adventure soon morphs into something far more dangerous, with wrongful arrests and a close call with the murderer. The Nancys know only they can stop the killer striking again.…

Multitasking mum Pippa Matthews makes motherhood look like a walk in the park! The fit and fabulous sister of the Duchess of Cambridge was spotted enjoying a quick jog around London last week, and despite the fact she was juggling a pram and two dogs, the 35-year-old couldn’t stop smiling. One person who didn’t look too chuffed to be out exercising was Pippa’s 10-month-old boy Arthur. The tot sat strapped into his stroller with his blond hair sticking out in all directions and a puzzled expression across his face. But Pippa insists he’s following in her fitness footsteps and recently opened up about taking him to yoga. She revealed, “Arthur spent most of the class trying to escape from my yoga mat, chewing on the foam block and practising the…
