Innholdsfortegnelse for 1843 i Woman's Day

Woman’s Day has been covering the British royal family for 70 years, and I’m lucky enough to have been editor for 10 of the most exciting of those years. From Wills and Kate’s engagement, wedding, Aussie tour and birth of their beautiful three children to Harry and Meghan’s spectacular wedding, I’ve loved bringing our readers every delightful detail! This week we added yet another beautiful wedding to our pages for the history books … Congratulations to the stunning bride Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, who were married over the weekend at Windsor Castle. But if there’s one thing better than a royal wedding, it’s an Aussie royal tour! Yes, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have landed and they’re about to embark on a mega tour of the…

At the time of going to press, there were growing whispers Meghan’s mum Doria Ragland may make a surprise visit to Australia to join her daughter and son-in-law. Doria would be a huge support to Meghan, for whom the 15-day tour will be both incredibly exciting and nerve-wracking. “Doria relishes any opportunity to spend time with her daughter, and if it’s true that Meghan is pregnant, she would absolutely want her mum by her side,” says a source close to the royal pair. “There’s plenty of room at their Aussie mansion for her, and Harry loves having Doria around. She’s the type of mother figure he craved after losing his own mum.” And it wouldn’t be the first time Doria showed up to delight fans at an official event –…

Prince Andrew and Fergie, often described as “the world’s happiest exes”, have sparked talk of remarriage with a palace insider saying the romance of planning their daughter’s dream wedding “has definitely affected” them. “The rumour that they’re going to officially get back together after all these years is running through the palace like wildfire. They’re perfect for each other,” adds the insider of the two, who divorced in 1996.…

Carrie Bickmore is simmering with rage over her co-star Lisa Wilkinson’s multimillion-dollar salary and big star interviews, and has banned Kerri-Anne Kennerley from appearing on The Project, as a bitter war is played out behind the scenes at Ten. Network flacks have tried to hose down rumours of tension between Carrie, 37,and Lisa, 58, for months, but insiders say it’s now at a flashpoint, with Carrie finding it increasingly difficult to “keep up appearances” and pretend they are friends. “It’s become a war between the Sunday Project and The Project,” our source claims. “Carrie cannot believe the money being thrown at Lisa’s travel and overseas interviews, and she’s furious that Lisa has the pick of any interviews – and takes all the big ones. You have to remember The Project…

Quentin Kenihan was proud as punch that he continued to defy the odds throughout his too-short but achievement-packed life, happily admitting that doctors thought he wouldn’t live to see his first birthday. Born with osteogenesis imperfecta – formerly known as brittle bone disease – he arrived in the world with eight broken bones, including both arms and both legs, and went on to break 800 more during a life of unendurable pain. His bones were so brittle a sneeze could shatter them. His survival was nothing short of a miracle but it was his determination to live life to the full, rather than the awful disease that caused so much hardship for Quentin, that inspired so many people from all walks of life. ‘BRAVEST BLOKE’ Gladiator star Russell Crowe, who…

Trudi Lines will be competing in her first Invictus Games – and while she’s proud to represent her country, she can’t wait to meet Prince Harry! “Meeting Harry and [Duchess] Meghan would be lovely,” says Trudi, 41. “He’s a larrikin – I think he’s got a bit of Aussie in him.” Trudi joined the RAAF in 2003, and was the first woman trained as an electrician for the air force. After serving in Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste and Afghanistan, Trudi – who now lives in Townsville – was discharged after suffering neck, back and ankle injuries as well as post-traumatic stress disorder. It was a rehab contact of Trudi’s who suggested she try out for an Invictus Games team as part of her recovery. And so she did, and…

HOURGLASS Flatter your curves in a fitted or sleeveless tunic. If you prefer a loose fit, then wear a belt to accentuate the slimmest part of your body. Avoid ruffles or other details near your neck. PEAR SHAPE Choose a tunic that has side vents to keep it from clinging to your bottom half. Opt for a wider neckline and a chunky necklace to broaden your shoulders and balance body shape. APPLE It’s all about the neckline and legs for apple shapes, so choose flattering V-neck tops that direct the focus up towards your face. Stay away from anything too long or heavily patterned. FULL FIGURE Don’t make the mistake of opting for shapeless and baggy – instead look for something that shows off your wrists and collarbone. Vertical stripes…

She was once one of Australia’s most loved and glamorous TV stars, yet Adriana Xenides was barely recognisable, surviving on sickness benefits and living as a recluse before her shock death eight years ago at age 54.

Do you ever catch yourself saying things like, “This just isn’t good enough, I’ve got to try again,” or “I won’t apply for a promotion until I am really ready.” Do thoughts like, “Other people do that far better than me so I’ll just keep quiet” run through your head? When you’re a perfectionist, you refuse to do things unless they are done just right. You’re unwilling to act unless what you do is guaranteed to win and to wow, absolutely without any chance of loss. When your self-confidence is low, you hold yourself back, make limiting choices and give your power over to this kind of perfectionism – something we are all too familiar with. THE PERFECT PERFORMANCE While perfectionism happens regardless of your gender, cultural background or experience,…

‘We all kind of forgot we were even doing a job’ He’s been receiving rave reviews for his directorial debut A Star Is Born – adapted from the 1954 musical starring Judy Garland and James Mason. Here Bradley Cooper tells why the romantic film, which follows the story of struggling artist Ally (Lady Gaga) who falls in love with singer Jackson Maine (Bradley), had such a big impact on him. What was it like working alongside Lady Gaga? I’m so lucky to have worked with her. While we were filming this movie, we also had the opportunity of watching her sing every day. Literally the whole crew would just sit back, and we all kind of forgot we were even doing a job every time she sang. That really never…

He’s arguably the most handsome of suitors vying for Ali’s heart, but in a heartbreaking admission The Bachelorette’s “knight in shining armour” Todd King, 26, reveals he battled with an eating disorder before finding reality TV fame. “I was obsessed with playing footy and getting lean, and my girlfriend at the time liked how I looked,” recalls the WA-based sales rep. “When we broke up I thought if I slimmed down I’d win her back.” Todd’s eating disorder consumed him for several years. “It became an obsession,” he recalls. Todd was only 17 and weighed 55kg at his lowest. With the support of his family, he managed to free himself from the grips of his eating disorder. However, Todd says he hasn’t fully recovered. “I still struggle with body dysmorphia…

He’s the King of Spin on the cricket pitch and it seems Shane Warne is pretty highly ranked in the spin stakes in his personal life, too. After the cricketer declared in his recently released autobiography that his time with actress Elizabeth Hurley was the best of his life, it’s caused uproar with his former wife Simone Callahan, who’s been left seething and has lashed out at the pair. “I can honestly say that the time I had with Elizabeth were the happiest years of my life,” Shane boldly states in his new tell-all book No Spin. It’s a huge slap in the face for Simone, who raised a family with Shane. The 48-year-old revealed in a bombshell interview how she discovered Shane was romancing the British actress and Estee…

Peter Rudland barely survived a deadly Black Hawk helicopter crash in Afghanistan in 2010. The former Special Forces soldier almost lost his leg after his rifle embedded itself in his limb when the chopper came down. He also suffered a broken back, pelvis and a frontal lobe bleed, and has endured more than 30 operations since then. Tragically, the horrific crash claimed the lives of four other service personnel, including three Australians, and injured eight others. LOST HIS WAY “I was medically retired from the army after 28 years’ service,” the 47-year-old from Terranora, NSW, explains. “Afterwards, I struggled to find what I was going to do next. I’d always been fit and driven but after the accident I was lost.” Peter’s participation in Prince Harry’s Invictus Games has played…

A Housewives super-fan has taken his obsession to the next level by claiming he is related to controversial Sydney star Lisa Oldfield. Despite the pair sharing the same surname, Lisa insists they are “most definitely” not related! “He’s claiming he’s related to us and being generally abusive,” says Lisa. “He’s not related to us – we don’t know him nor have we ever met him. And you can come directly to us for much higher quality abuse than what this turkey is dishing out!” Which TV judge fills his mug with red wine instead of water?…
