As he faces the music back in London for the first time after fleeing the royal family in January, Prince Harry has been rocked by claims his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, all but officially adopted a little girl from Los Angeles when she was married to her first husband. With reports that Meghan, who has made no secret of her love for children and would often be seen embracing little ones with a big hug at royal events, recently reunited with the girl, palace insiders say Harry, 35, is heartbroken at the thought of his wife keeping such an important part of her past a secret from him for so long. One royal insider tells Woman’s Day, “Meghan and Trevor [Engelson, Meghan’s first husband who she divorced in 2013]…

It hasn’t gone unnoticed that for weeks the Duchess of Cambridge has been positively glowing and looking happier than ever. Now, royal observers are telling Woman’s Day that all signs suggest Kate, 38, could be expecting her fourth child – and her bumpy appearance at an event in Ireland has done little to dispel excitement. “Rumours have been swirling for months that Kate could be pregnant, and the fact she looked so much fuller in the body and face all seems to point to a royal baby,” a royal observer tells. “It’s no secret Kate has always wanted to have four children, and with all the drama that has gone on in the royal family over the past few months, a new baby would bring some welcome happiness. By wearing…

Brooklyn Beckham’s 21st birthday party was never going to be small, and insiders say Victoria and David set aside a whopping $195,000 for the celebration at their Cotswolds estate. The aspiring photographer was joined by his family’s close A-list friends, including Cara Delevingne, Elton John, Emma Bunton, Gordon and Tana Ramsay and, of course, his girlfriend Nicola Peltz, 25. “Brooklyn was in his element,” says a friend. “He looked great, Nicola was gorgeous and everyone commented on how happy he looked. David and Victoria are super-proud of him, and it was only right they flashed the cash for their eldest child’s big milestone.”…

When Poppy Jennings was forced to flee the set of Married At First Sight, she was quickly silenced by lawyers. However, Woman’s Day has learned the 38-year-old bride is in talks to release an explosive tell-all book, which aims to lift the lid on her time on the controversial show. The mother-of-two has been made countless offers by book publishers who are excitedly offering her a chance to tell her story. “This is going further! I feel like I’m empowered [because] I have spoken up,” Poppy revealed last week. She says the “[unaired] footage speaks volumes about what actually happened, what really went down that night... It was all caught on camera, multiple people knew about it… this story needs to be told”. Poppy jokingly adds, “Someone is going to…

The experiment has seen mother-of-two Mishel Karen injured, heartbroken and sexually frustrated, but nothing has caused the 49-year-old as much anguish as her secret double life! Speaking to Woman’s Day, the bride reveals she feels like she has been forced to live a lie as she was encouraged to cover up her employment with Queensland Police Service! “I am a qualified teacher [as the show suggests], but I am currently the policy trainer for new Queensland police,” says Mishel. “I never wanted to deceive the public, but my work asked me not to reveal it.”…

They both walked down the aisle to marry Tom Cruise, and according to Woman’s Day’s insider at Paris Fashion Week, Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman’s love lives are crossing paths once more. The Dawson’s Creek star and Nicole’s ex Lenny Kravitz, 55, had a hot hook-up at one of the event’s secret afterparties. “Katie and Lenny go way back,” one insider tells Woman’s Day. “They met years ago at a party.” Now, Katie, 41, is single again, and a source says she threw caution to the wind when she ran into Lenny at an party in the aptly named City of Love. “She’s telling friends she had a wonderful time with him,” says our insider. “Katie’s pretty coy about this stuff, but you can tell something went down. I bet…

Bruce Samazan bursts out laughing when asked how he explains to his two beautiful young daughters just how crazy his life was 20 years ago – when he was being mobbed in the street and featured on the cover of teen magazines. “They know Dad was on TV but that’s about it,” says Bruce, 49, flashing his famous dimples and megawatt smile. What Leala, 13, and Zoe, 10, may find difficult to understand is just how adored their dad was at the height of his fame in the early 1990s. When he arrived for an event at Sydney’s Darling Harbour onboard a ferry in the early ’90s, there were 15,000 screaming teenage girls wanting to meet Bruce, and he caused mini-riots when he appeared at shopping centres around the nation.…

KEEP LAYERS LIGHT The beauty of cardigans over coats for trans-seasonal dressing is you can achieve a polished effect without extra bulk or looking too structured. When layering knits, select similar yarns to keep things light. Or if opting for a chunky cardie, wear over a cotton top. ACCESSORISE Add jewellery or a scarf to dress up necklines instantly and elevate knit-inspired ensembles. Likewise, belts enhance outfits as well as create a waist-cinching effect. This is particularly effective over mid-length cardies worn back with the season’s pleated skirts. SLIMMING SECRETS Wearing form-fitting garments underneath cardies, especially if they’re slouchy or longer styles, help slim down the silhouette. Body-con dresses look great under longer layers, as do fitted tees and skinny jeans or pants.…

The Queen and Prince Charles are said to be “united in pain” over Meghan’s decision to leave her son Archie in Canada while she joins husband Prince Harry in the UK. Not even a four-hour meeting between Her Majesty and Harry at Windsor could change the 38-year-old actress’ mind. “It’s just incomprehensible that she would keep Archie from his great-grandmother,” says a palace insider. “The Queen is really struggling with this situation. It breaks her heart to not see him. “It’s like Meghan’s using Archie as leverage – the Queen and Charles both feel like they’ve lost two loved ones. It’s hard to imagine what this is doing to that 93-year-old woman.”…

Goofy, bold and passionate, Lizzie Sobinoff and her new groom Sebastian Guilhaus seemed like the perfect couple when they met at the aisle during last week’s intruder weddings. However, Woman’s Day has learned the brunette bride’s romance is about to take a nosedive after she makes a move on new groom Drew Brauer! ‘Nobody was allowed to get in Lizzie’s way or question her’ In explosive text messages obtained by Woman’s Day, Drew’s onscreen wife KC Osborne not only reveals Lizzie and Drew shared a close bond, but she approved it! “Drew hurt me... lizzi told me she was having dinner with him [and] I couldn’t take it personal,” KC admits to fellow bride Stacey via text. “How is it okay for Lizzie and Drew to go and get dinner……

Despite her wholesome appearance, Jules Robinson’s former co-stars were quick to brand her a “bully” when the show ended last year. And in a shock twist, Woman’s Day can reveal it’s not just former MAFS brides who have 37-year-old Jules’ offside! According to a party guest at The VIP Sydney’s New Year’s Eve Party, the reality star was slagging off Natasha Spencer, 26, to anyone who would listen. “She had some choice words to say about her… she let everyone know she thought she was trouble, that’s for sure!” says the guest. “Her and Cam were quick to take sides about Mikey and Natasha’s fallout. Jules made it very clear she thought Natasha was a difficult sort and that she left Mikey high and dry.” It’s believed Mikey and Jules’…

She might not be lobbing brussels sprouts at any of her fellow panellists, but TV star Denise Drysdale is causing plenty of excitement behind the scenes at Studio 10. According to a TV insider, the 71-year-old is being heralded by top executives as “a saviour” after the panel show had a massive boost in ratings when she showed up for work recently. ‘Studio 10 has had an axe looming over it’ “Studio 10 has had an axe looming over it, and Ten were in complete panic mode a few weeks back when the show’s ratings dipped to a worrying low of 33,000. But the next day, execs heavily promoted Denise on the show and there was a huge spike of 10,000 viewers,” says the insider. Our source says Denise’s pulling…

As Dancing With The Stars’ blockbuster finale draws closer, it’s clear this season’s celebrity dancers are not messing around! And while they’re putting their bodies on the line for the ultimate cha-cha, Woman’s Day hears there’s no shortage of bruised egos behind the scenes – and it’s all to do with money. “Their salaries have been slashed this year – budgets are down, down, down,” quips a production insider. “The producers have worked hard to convince the cast they’re all on roughly the same pay, but the truth is half the cast are on low salaries and the rest… peanuts!” the source explains. “Going on reality TV is no longer frowned upon – it’s a career booster and it plays straight in to Ten’s cost-cutting game,” explains the insider, who…

If you’re scared of going under the knife – or needle – this treatment might be your answer to perkier peepers. It’s not completely painless, according to Natalie Abouchar, nurse practitioner and founder of Privee Clinic (inset), so numbing cream is applied for comfort, and there are five days’ downtime in which makeup can’t be worn. “The perfect candidate would be in the early stages of upper eyelid drooping, with a Fitzpatrick skin type 1-3 [ivory to light brown],” says Natalie. “The ACCOR Plasma Pen uses plasma energy and works by ionising gases in the air to create a small electrical arc, similar to a lightning bolt (not as scary as it sounds, trust us!). That can be used to rejuvenate problem areas and tighten lax skin.” The full effect…

San Francisco is to America what Sydney is to Australia – a beautiful harbour city that is also a gateway to some of the most beautiful places on earth, and nowhere is prettier than Sonoma County. With a northern hemisphere spring just around the corner, this stunning part of the United States is about to come alive with wildflowers and whale watching, but Sonoma is also one of the finest wine growing regions in the country. STEEPED IN HISTORY Founded on the back of the Californian gold rush in 1848, Sonoma became one of the world’s most famous wine regions, thanks to the very colourful, self-proclaimed Count Agoston Haraszthy, a Hungarian nobleman who started Buena Vista Winery in search of “purple gold”. This adventurer, town builder and pioneer was rumoured…

British aristocracy is melting down over rumours Princess Beatrice’s wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi is off! Sources say her Italian count-in-waiting has put pause on the May 29 nuptials until Bea’s father Prince Andrew sorts out his mess – thanks to strict orders from his father, Count Alessandro Mapelli Mozzi. The 31-year-old royal was spotted looking absolutely miserable out in London last without her engagement ring, and insiders say Bea is “devastated” that 36-year-old Edo’s done this with just 81 days to go until their big day. “She’s totally humiliated,” says a royal insider. “To be fair, Edo’s furious about it too, especially after his dad gave a very lukewarm and unofficial approval of Bea in the press. Now it’s pretty clear the count was sitting on the fence over…

Victoria Beckham put on a brave face last week in Miami at husband David’s soccer team launch, but friends say the exhausted star has hit rock bottom and a recent “spa break” had nothing to do with getting her pores purified. The fashionista, 45, was “a complete wreck” after London Fashion Week in February, having not slept for five days, and booked herself in for a rejuvenating stay at a top-secret rehab spa for three days. While sources tell the UK press it was just so she could “realign”, a worried long-time friend tells Woman’s Day it was much more serious than that. INTENSE THERAPY “She was on the verge of a breakdown by the end of that week,” reveals the friend. “She needed a serious intervention to get herself…

Ever since Steve Burley broke down to wife Mishel Karen about missing his boy, his son Tony has been left seething over his father’s “lies”. “While [Steve] was recording the show he became more affectionate, telling me he loves me... but if he misses his family so much, why didn’t he even tell me he was getting married and why did he block me on all of his social media accounts?” he says. Tony feels like his dad was using him, adding that Steve, 52, even tried to discourage him from speaking to the press. “He’s not my dad, my grandad is my dad,” adds Tony, who says he has barely seen Steve since he split from his mum in 1991.…

Bn the surface, Aleks Markvoic and Ivan Sarakula are shaping up to be one of the season’s most promising couples. But after Woman’s Day revealed the lovebirds had been rocked by a pregnancy scare, an onset spy says Aleks has unearthed a bombshell secret about her husband! “He was on FaceTime to another girl all throughout filming!” dishes a source. “At all hours of the day he was caught up with this close female friend – it’s why he was so obsessed with his phone.” According to the source, the Sydney-based real estate agent all but ignored Aleks during their personal downtime. What’s more, the female friend wasn’t the only girl Ivan was contacting behind Aleks’ back. Our source says Aleks was devastated to learn he had been previously sleeping in…

ROD STEWART PRISON NIGHTMARE Rod Stewart’s year is not off to a good start. The 75-year-old Hot Legs singer’s plans to go on tour Down Under later this year look uncertain for two reasons – a dodgy knee injury and the fact he may be in jail! The legendary rocker, who is recovering from knee replacement surgery, could be facing prison time after being charged with simple battery over a clash with a bouncer on New Year’s Eve. Rod has pleaded not guilty to the charge and is now facing a pre-trail hearing in April. The legendary singer and his son Sean, 39, were charged after a bouncer refused to let them enter a private party at a Palm Beach hotel in Florida. According to an affidavit, the father-and-son duo…

What is a hooded eye? It’s when skin droops from the brow bone onto the lower, movable part of the eyelid and there’s very little visible lid space or obvious crease. Using makeup Do you ever carefully apply eyeshadow, only to open your eye and find you can’t see where you’ve put it? Or perhaps you find eyeliner and mascara transfer onto the upper part of your eyelid? These are two common makeup challenges faced by women with hooded eyes. To overcome this, try blending an eye primer over your entire lid to help lock colour onto the skin. Then take a fluffy blending brush and, with your brow relaxed and your eyes wide open, look straight ahead and apply your eyeshadow in a backwards-and-forwards motion onto your socket line,…

SALMA HAYEK Salma uses a juice cleanse when getting ready for major events, or simply to reset her eating pattern. “When I feel stressed, I turn to food for comfort,” says the Like A Boss star, 53. “After doing a juice cleanse, I’m motivated to eat healthier and not emotionally. It makes me stop, focus and think about what I’m putting into my body.” As for workouts, Salma reveals that she sticks to sessions that are 30 minutes or less. CHRISTIE BRINKLEY She’s just turned 66, but gorgeous Christie looks like she did in the ’80s. How does she do it?

Amanda’s tribute to Rommy AMANDA SAYS This truly beautiful pup is my own big boy Rommy. He did not have a good start in life – he was born and bred to be a fighting dog. Rommy was rescued with other siblings at just a few months old. My other dog at the time, the beautiful Kelli, made it quite clear to Rommy what the rules were and the two became very close. He had this loving personality and was such a gentle boy. Unfortunately, in September 2019 I knew something was not right and he was diagnosed with bone cancer. My boy grew his angel wings on Monday, January 6, 2020. Although I am devastated by his passing, I know he is out of pain now. Rommy has since…
