QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1926 – 2022 While Charles III is already King, it will likely be many months before his coronation takes place. And when it does, the monarch has made it clear he wants it to be a far smaller, shorter and more economical one than the Queen’s, which was around three hours long and cost an incredible $53 million in today’s money. But despite this, the ceremony will be as elaborate as it’s been for 900 years and will require months of detailed planning. A symbolic and religious event, its main purpose is for Charles to take his coronation oath, although he could still remain the King without one. It counts as a state occasion, meaning the British government can decide the guest list and will…

Celebrity news You know it’s going to be a fabulous Emmy Awards when the legendary Oprah Winfrey hands out the first trophy of the night. Michael Keaton, who won for his role on Dopesick, jokingly asked her, “Don’t you have 90 of these?” The night also ended in style with Selma Blair, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018, receiving a rousing standing ovation when she came on stage with a cane to announce the final Emmy. Wearing Alexander McQueen, the Cruel Intentions actress – who will appear on the US version of Dancing With The Stars this week – later shared on Instagram that her “spirits rose exponentially” when she was invited to present. I have never been on this stage before,” wrote Selma, 50. “I haven’t had…

Reality bites Sometimes when you put something out into the universe, you find out the universe is listening. This is exactly what happened to Ashleigh Williams after a comment made in jest led to her jetting off to Heartbreak Island. “I was watching the previous season of Love Island with my flatmate and commented, ‘I should be on a fricken show like this!’” the 25-year-old laughs. “I just felt I would be interesting on a reality TV show and would have so much fun. I’d be giving some real advice and being a little bit crazy. Honestly, it was just a passing comment. Then a friend of mine was like, ‘Oh, there’s this New Zealand one coming out. You should apply for it.’” ‘You’re 10 times angrier, 10 times sadder…

QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1926 – 2022 A tribute to HER MAJESTY On her 21st birthday, the then-Princess Elizabeth famously declared that whether her life was long or short, it would be lived in service of her people. No one – least of all the bright-eyed young royal making her earnest declaration in a radio broadcast from Government House in South Africa’s Cape Town – could have known just how long and glorious that service would be. Just four years later, in 1952, she was propelled onto the throne after the sudden death of her father, King George VI – an historic event that would eventually see her become the world’s second longest-reigning monarch. On her death on 8 September 2022, Elizabeth, 96, had served for 70…

Everyday food TREAT YOUR WATER KINDLY Run the tap a little so the water’s nicely aerated and only boil it once to keep the oxygen level up. Oxygen in water helps the flavour! MUG OR TEA POT? If you’ve chosen a mug, pop a tea bag in, pour over the hot water and stir briefly. If you’d rather a teapot for some extra brew, make sure you keep everything toasty. Tea likes hot water, but a chilly teapot cools things down, so swirl a little boiling water around the empty pot first. PATIENCE! Tea needs time to unlock all its flavour, so give it 4-5 minutes to do its thing. MILK IT If you’re brewing tea in a mug, it’s better to add the milk last, after it’s brewed. If…

Reality bites She was a hard-nosed business advisor on The Apprentice Aotearoa and she hasn’t exactly been mincing her words on Celebrity Treasure Island, but when Woman’s Day chats to Cassie Roma, the successful entrepreneur is forced to wipe away tears not once, but twice. The first time is when we ask the San Diego-born star what personal items she’s packed for her stint on the TVNZ 2 reality series. “I brought a picture of my grandma and I,” replies Cassie, 40. “She’s my hero and she’s tattooed right here on my arm. She’s with me every day, which I think she’d be stoked about. ‘When I told him, we both cried’ “She was an Englishwoman who moved to a German-speaking town of 200 people in the middle of Missouri…

Exclusive Will Hall may have left acting, but acting is taking its time leaving him. The star has built up a solid profile as an actor over the past couple of decades, with roles including the skateboarding Dr Kip Denton in Shortland Street, a team leader in the pub-quiz drama series Nothing Trivial and lady-magnet Detective Mike McCarthy in Westside. As Mike, Will had some eye-popping scenes sporting a short, burnt-orange towelling bathrobe, an iconic garment that he still owns. But it’s all over... for now. The 43-year-old has called time on acting for the sake of his family. Born and bred in Christchuch, Will has long been based in Auckland because that’s where the work was. But last year, Will and his wife Sarah decided to move to Christchurch…

Real life Lara Cooke had been sick in bed with high temperatures and vomiting for two weeks when a doctor diagnosed her with glandular fever. At just 10 years old, Lara went for her first-ever blood test to check for the viral infection. But later that evening, her parents received a phone call telling them to head straight to Wellington Hospital. Devastatingly, their outgoing and free-spirited young girl had leukaemia. “I remember it was slightly dark when my parents were called in,” tells Lara, now 20, a two-time cancer survivor and devoted CanTeen ambassador. “When we were there, I suddenly heard them crying in the corridor. I called in a nurse and asked what was wrong. She took a single step into my room, said my cancer cells were high…

QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1926 – 2022 For Queen Elizabeth, there had never been anyone else other than her husband Prince Philip, who she met at the tender age of 13 while he was a dashing 18-year-old naval cadet. At first, her father wasn’t thrilled about her love match with a member of the ousted Greek royal family, but she said yes to Philip’s marriage proposal anyway, scandalously without asking for the King’s permission. In a letter to his beloved, Philip once wrote, “To have been spared in the war and seen victory, to have been given the chance to rest and readjust myself, to have fallen in love completely and unreservedly, makes all one’s personal and even the world’s troubles seem small and petty.” After marrying in 1947…

Choose fruits and veges that can be eaten whole, including the skin and entire flesh. If you can’t use it all in your recipe, wash it, chop it and freeze it to use later. Good recipes for leftover fruit and veg include soups, smoothies, jams and baked goods. Look online for savoury and sweet recipes that use the spare fruit and veges you already have. Or use leftovers as substitutes for some of your usual go-to ingredients in a recipe that you know and love. “Ripe” can mean different things for different people, but the process can be sped up or slowed down so that it’s perfect for when you want to use them. For instance, kiwifruit can be ripened just by leaving it at room temperature for two…

QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1926 – 2022 VIGIL OF THE PRINCES Ahead of a service of thanksgiving at St Giles’ Cathedral in Edinburgh, the Queen’s four children held a 10-minute watch over their mother in a tradition known as the Vigil of the Princes. With bowed heads, King Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward each stood on one side of the oak coffin, alongside members of the Royal Company of Archers, as the public filed past to pay their respects. All of the siblings wore military uniform, except Andrew, who was stripped of his military titles before he settled his sexual abuse case in February. TEARS AMID THE FLOWERS In a break from the sombreness, grieving members of the royal family were given spontaneous applause at the…

QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1926 – 2022 Earlier this year, the Queen issued a letter confirming it was her “sincere wish” that when the time comes, her daughter-in-law Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall and wife of Prince Charles, should become Queen Consort as Charles ascends the throne. Now that wish, and Camilla’s journey, is complete – and what a ride it has been. IMAGE MAKEOVER Once called the “most hated woman in Britain” by a UK tabloid, Camilla has spent years rehabilitating her public image, allowing her to go from mistress to Her Majesty. She was just 24 years old when she first started dating Prince Charles after meeting in 1970 at a polo match, but when Charles was deployed with the navy in 1973, Camilla met and married…

Reality bites Over the years, Iyia Liu has conquered endless business hurdles, overcome a terrifying emergency C-section and felt like she got “hit by a bus” after a Brazilian butt lift, as well as experiencing racism, bullying and mental health struggles.

Celebrity news She was once nicknamed “The Tank” for her ability to down Champagne, but these days the original ’90s it-girl and fashion icon Kate Moss is living a much more holistic life. The British supermodel, 48, has officially launched her own brand and website, selling beauty and lifestyle products, cleverly named Cosmoss. While fans are no doubt elated by Kate’s new business, which boasts a modestly titled Sacred Mist eau de parfum, there is one person who is less than impressed – Elle Macpherson. For years, the stunning Aussie supermodel, 58, who has long been affectionately nicknamed “The Body”, has cemented herself as an entrepreneurial force with her wellness business WelleCo – and insiders tell us Kate’s new venture is a little too similar for Elle’s liking! ‘Truthfully, Elle…

Real life She’s only 13 years old, but Rhian Farrell already works with elite athletes – it’s just that the ones she oversees are four-legged. The South Auckland high school student is one of Aotearoa’s youngest certified greyhound handlers and is now being recognised for positive contributions to the sport. Earlier this year, she became the youngest recipient of the New Zealand Greyhound Racing Association’s Board Award for under-30s. An unsuspecting Rhian received her award in front of racegoers and Trackside TV cameras at a race meet on her Manukau home-ground. “I had no words,” remembers Rhian. “I was shocked! It took me a while to wrap my head around it.” It’s deserved recognition for the teenager, the third generation in her family to race greyhounds after grandmother Glennis and…
