When Princess Diana died in 1997, her “box of secrets”, containing 10 never-before-seen video tapes and audio cassettes she covertly recorded, disappeared from Kensington Palace – and have never been recovered. In Diana: Case Solved, authors Dylan Howard and former detective Colin McLaren claim the lost tapes contained a “record of her knowledge of scandals that could finish Britain’s monarchy” and that she “stashed them in a box called the ‘Crown Jewels’”. They were kept under lock and key in her Kensington Palace apartment along with a signet ring belonging to her former lover James Hewitt and photographs that show her ex-husband Prince Charles romping naked with a male lover, their informants claim. TRUSTING BUTLER “As far-fetched as it sounds, the claims were central to the 2008 inquest into her…

Another week, another scandal for Prince Andrew, with friends of singer Courtney Love alleging the prince once tried to bed her after they were introduced by disgraced paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The rock chick, 55, reportedly told a friend that the British royal, 59, arrived at her house in the early hours of the morning “looking for sex”. While he didn’t get what he was looking for, he was apparently “very flirtatious”. Courtney – who was named in Epstein’s infamous black book – has since distanced herself from the claims.…

Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman has been sentenced to 14 days in jail, a fine of $43,000 and 250 hours of community service for fraudulently securing her daughter a place at university in the US by paying $21,800 to have someone correct her daughter’s answers on the admissions exam. Felicity’s lawyers have requested she serve her sentence in what’s known as one of the US’ “cushiest” prisons, the Federal Correctional Institution Dublin, which is 55km outside of San Francisco. The minimum security women’s prison will still require Felicity, 56, to hang up her designer wardrobe in favour of a khaki prison uniform – complete with her name and inmate number. But the rest of the experience seems positively luxurious by prison standards. Each morning she will make her bed by…

Liam Hemsworth suffered the ultimate insult at the hands of estranged wife Miley Cyrus, with shocking claims revealing the Wrecking Ball singer announced their split behind his back! Liam, 29, was actually in Australia at the time – and it left him “blindsided and humiliated” to learn his fate on social media. “This is why Liam was so angry and embarrassed when it all went down,” a close friend tells Woman’s Day. “The poor guy had no idea Miley would dump him like this before they’d agreed how to manage the situation and release the news together. He’s been in a state of shock and disgust ever since.” Rubbing salt in the wounds, Miley, 26, was soon pictured locking lips with close friend Kaitlynn Carter (pictured top left), 30, and…

Samantha Armytage recently told Stellar magazine that she knows when she is about to be sacked, indicating it’s been a topic on her mind of late. The morning show suffered a major loss to their team when longstanding Weekend Sunrise host Basil Zempilas announced he was going to “scale back” his role due to his gruelling schedule. Could it be a sign he is jumping ship before it sinks? Kochie, who is rumoured to be earning $1 million a year, has appeared to be out of touch with his viewers after saying that “ordinary Australians” can easily save $10,000 in just 20 days by following his advice. Are viewers looking for someone more approachable? After months of negative headlines of their own, a revamped Today is starting to turn the…

Demi Moore has lifted the lid on her tumultuous private life in a brutally honest and highly emotional memoir that has rocked Hollywood. The 56-year-old actress bravely reveals how she overcame her drug addiction, being raped at 15, and suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage during her ill-fated romance with Ashton Kutcher – but she’s determined to prove, now more than ever, that she’s come out the other side and is stronger than she’s ever been. Demi’s memoir, titled Inside Out, also features harrowing details of her dysfunctional childhood, and how she witnessed her own mother’s frequent suicide attempts. The mum-of-three also opens up about her life-long lack of self-esteem and her struggles with an eating disorder. MARRIAGE TURMOIL But perhaps the most talked-about part of the book is her account of…

They are the crimes that repulsed the world and gave Adelaide the sordid reputation as the City of Corpses. Known as the Family Murders, between 1979 and 1983, four boys and one young man were dragged off the streets, drugged, gang raped, tortured, mutilated and, in some cases, dissected before their bodies were discarded like rubbish. A criminologist suspects at least 150 other boys were hunted, kidnapped and raped around the time of those murders, which are likely linked to the “Family”, a perverted ring of paedophiles that allegedly included Adelaide doctors, lawyers, judges and politicians. Today, four of the five murders remain unsolved – those of Alan Barnes, 17, Neil Muir, 25, Peter Stogneff, 14, and Mark Langley, 18. Evil monster Bevan Spencer von Einem was jailed for 36…

Currently starring in the reboot of SeaChange, Kate Lister is making waves with her feisty performance as police officer Lillian Liano. And while she fits in seamlessly among the oddball characters of Pearl Bay, Kate wasn’t so sure she was going to live up to the expectations of the drama’s fans. “I was so nervous and to be honest, I still am,” Kate, 34, tells Woman’s Day. “I don’t want to let anyone down. Obviously there’s going to be people that don’t like it, so there was a big pressure to do everything in my power to bring as much to my character as possible.” And while the high expectations have been stressful for the young actress, Kate was encouraged by the support of her “amazing” cast mates Brooke Satchwell…

There has long been speculation that Diana planned to marry Dodi Fayed – and that he had even bought an engagement ring and proposed to her on the night she died. But could Diana also have been pregnant? “I was told that Diana was enceinte [pregnant in French] but had lost the baby,” one nurse at the hospital where she died told the author, while an unnamed French police officer told them that it was covered up to spare her family embarrassment. “She was blissfully happy,” a family source tells the authors. “Her little bump was showing, and she was so proud. She’d even told reporters that she has some happy news to report.”…

She’s taking great joy in being able to wear iconic pieces of jewellery once belonging to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana, but there’s one big piece of the bling puzzle missing for Meghan – and it’s on the hand of her sister-in-law Kate! It turns out the 12-carat, $547,000 sapphire and diamond ring Prince William proposed to his wife with actually belonged to Harry. And Meghan is demanding he ask for it back! The Diana Story doco revealed Harry chose the ring as a memento after his mother’s tragic death, with William opting for her Cartier watch. But when Wills, 37, told his brother he was proposing, Harry decided to give it to him. “Buzz is Meghan’s got her eye on that ring and she’ll keep reminding Kate who its…

When Newcastle-based nurse Elly Miles was ousted from The Bachelor mansion last month, it left fans in shock. And even though he chose scientist Chelsie Mcleod, 28, as his eventual winner, Woman’s Day can reveal Elly’s chances of nabbing hunky 31-year-old Matt Agnew might not be over just yet! The speculation about a reunion between Elly and Matt comes amid ongoing reports that Matt is no longer with the winner of the show. A source close to the astrophysicist reveals Matt was “gutted” the night he eliminated Elly, and suggests the move was more to do with producers’ attempts to make analyst Abbie Chatfield, 23, a successful TV villain, and less to do with his real feelings for lovable nurse Elly, 24. “He was beside himself that night, more so…

Veteran host David, 63, saw himself at the centre of a bizarre feud with MAFS star Martha Kalifatidis after he claimed he was “bruised” after being “elbowed in the ribs” by her on the Logies red carpet. His version of events was backed up by his co-hosts – Natalie Barr called Martha “fierce”, Sam Armytage mocked her dwindling “15 minutes of fame” and Mark Beretta joked, “Do not get between Martha and the camera!” But the reality bride was quick to brand the cast as “bullies” after it was reported senior Seven executives were “getting annoyed” by the saga dubbed “Elbowgate” and were wishing “it would all just go away”.…

On Australia Day, 1966, the Beaumont children – Jane, nine, Arnna, seven, and Grant, four – left their Adelaide home for an unsupervised day at the beach, but they never returned and their bodies have never been found. During her interview with von Einem, Debi asked him if it was true, as a witness has previously attested, that he once admitted to the Beaumont murders. “He was a jail snitch,” he said of his accuser. “Everything he said about me, he did it for the money. I didn’t do it.” When asked if she believes von Einem was involved, Debi concedes she thinks he wasn’t. “Von Einem was into boys, not girls,” she says.…

I’ve never thought to apply mindfulness to eating, or in my case, overeating. That all changed when I was introduced to nutritional hypnotherapist Caroline Power. A certified nutritionist and naturopath, Caroline specialises in hypnotherapy, aiming to shift people’s mindsets on food and eating. After a few phone calls and a personalised questionnaire it was time for the hypnotherapy sessions. Admittedly, I was anticipating being forced to dance like a chicken, but instead Caroline’s articulate and calming guidance brought me clarity. A month on, I’ve lost 5kg, and for the first time in my life I’m using a gym and not hating it! Here are some of Caroline’s teachings to try at home… NEGATIVE BELIEFS “When we repeat a thought to ourselves, it becomes a belief,” says Caroline. “Most of these…

Ambia’s surrounded by love AMANDA SAYS Ambia tells me she has passed over and it happened around 10 years ago. Ambia’s passing was very unexpected and I felt an impact like a snake bite, which is what those around her suspected. I then felt Ambia bring through a more recently passed over cat, Pepsi. Pepsi shows me he passed at about 14 from a broken hip and other ailments. A man comes through and shows me he is Ellen’s father. He tells me he’s got her mum with him and she has only just passed over about a year ago. I also have a younger man coming through, who says he sends his blessing for Ellen’s new partner. ELLEN SAYS I reached out to Amanda as I hoped she would…

When police raided the home of Diana’s butler Paul Burrell, they found 2000 personal items they allege he stole from her Kensington Palace apartment. The royal family was warned that, if he took the stand, Paul would speak about events of “extreme delicacy” and “matters of a very private nature” – and his lawyers would have to resort to the “nuclear option” of calling Charles as a witness. On August 18, 2001, Paul was charged with stealing 310 items from Diana’s private chambers worth $5.9 million, yet 11 days into the trial the Queen “recollected” that she had met with the butler after Diana’s death and agreed he should care for some of her possessions. “It was only an intervention of this magnitude that could stop the world hearing the…

The Queen doesn’t have to scramble around looking for cash because the 93-year-old royal has her very own ATM in her home! Fans will get a sneak peek inside her London abode in a new documentary, Secrets Of The Royal Palaces, which airs in the UK this week. The four-part series claims the Queen has a cash machine in one of her rooms at Buckingham Palace. However, Her Majesty reportedly doesn’t carry any cash – aside from a few coins to put in the church collection plate each week – so it’s not clear if the Queen has ever used the machine, or if it’s simply there for her staff.…

TV vet Dr Chris Brown’s blossoming relationship with fellow Network Ten host Liv Phyland has been a reluctant point of conversation for the private star. But at Chris’ 41st birthday bash last week, the two couldn’t hide their affection, prompting speculation the event was a double celebration, with the couple sharing some exciting engagement news with their closest friends. “Their chemistry is undeniable, they are obviously one very happy couple,” an eagle-eyed onlooker tells Woman’s Day. The party, attended by several of Chris’ TV co-stars, including The Living Room’s Amanda Keller and Miguel Maestre, as well at The Project’s Hamish Macdonald and Carrie Bickmore, was held at Sydney’s Clovelly Hotel – and the guests all appeared delighted for the former Bondi Vet and Liv, 29. “Amanda was clearly very approving,”…

In big news for The Bachelor franchise, it’s been revealed next year’s applicants will need to be 25 or over, and whispers of a more mature suitor have already started swirling! Woman’s Day can reveal former AFL champion Jimmy Bartel, 35, isn’t being ruled out as a potential suitor for the new season. “It would definitely take a huge cheque, but he’s the flirty type,” says an insider. The father-of-two recently split from his fashion designer wife Nadia.…

Their fights became legendary on The Block five years ago, and now it appears their tumultuous relationship is on the rocks, with reports Dea and Darren Jolly are living apart in Melbourne. When contacted last Thursday evening, Darren, 37, angrily denied the speculation before hanging up, while Dea, 49, responded with a bizarre foul-mouthed rant over text when asked to comment on the rumoured split. “Wrong number I would never get married. Go away!!!!!” was her initial response, closely followed by, “Learn to spell c**t. And f**k off.” Former Collingwood AFL player-turned-builder Darren simply said, “It’s not true.” When they appeared on The Block in 2015, Deanne famously labelled judge Shaynna Blaze as “a bogan from Wantirna who’s got no f**king idea”. The couple run a business called D +…

They’ve been comfortably basking in the glory of being the top-rating breakfast television show for years, but it seems Sunrise’s steady reign could be well and truly over in the wake of relentless scandals. Following Edwina Bartholomew’s rogue twitter spray last week, Woman’s Day understands top executives at Seven are being forced to take immediate action, with a well-placed insider exclusively revealing the show could be about to suffer the same fate as their rival Today with a total shake-up of the hosting panel! “The show is a sinking ship – there’s a new scandal every week, sometimes every day,” the insider dishes. “They’re weighing up all the options and one is an all-new team. They think it’s time to revamp the show completely. It could be a bloodbath just…

Triple M’s Lawrence Mooney recently accused Sam of “spitting the dummy” after she was the first to be eliminated on Seven’s The Chase Australia. According to Lawrence, the 43-year-old refused to leave the studio floor after claiming she had been “humiliated” on set. The incident comes after radio host Kyle Sandilands was forced to hit back at Sam’s on-air digs, after she declared Kyle’s handball match with former PM Kevin Rudd, which was simulcast on Sunrise, was a snooze. A furious Kyle says the breakfast show team “begged” him to take part in the segment and announced he had banned Sam from his show.…

Like most first time mums-to-be, Morgan Chorley planned as much as she could to avoid any last-minute surprises in preparation for the arrival of her twins, hosting a baby shower 13 weeks before the due date and completing the nursery. But just two days later, at 28 weeks, she and husband Nic Rowell were given the shock of their lives when on a routine dash to the bathroom one evening, Morgan’s water broke. “I felt this weird popping feeling and all of a sudden it all came out,” Morgan, 28, tells Woman’s Day. “I didn’t think the twins would be born that quickly, so I had nothing packed for the hospital.” Morgan and Nic, also 28, didn’t know that it was only the start of what would be a very…

The little Trax is one of Holden’s longest-serving SUVs, and it really blazed a path for tiny crossovers when it debuted in 2013. In a crowded market, the five-seat, five-door Trax stands out for its astonishing interior space – it really is huge in there! – and its ease of day-to-day use. Take the top-spec LTZ, for example. Not only does it offer USB charging points up front, but it’s even got a 230-volt socket for your laptop or iPad in the back. As well, Holden has thoughtfully added shopping bag hooks in the cargo area to make sure the week’s groceries don’t end up everywhere. Its 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine is easy on the fuel gauge, and the six-speed auto is perfect for the urban grind. Our only complaint…
