Despite saying they have big plans for themselves, it’s been relatively quiet on the professional front for Harry and Meghan – and rumours have begun to circulate that they’re cooking up something big. “Meghan’s always had political designs, and there are whispers she’s thinking of running as a Democratic candidate for the 2024 presidential election,” says a source. “It might seem a while away, but now is the time to prepare, which might explain why they rushed into moving to Los Angeles, where she can be surrounded by advisers like Oprah and George [Clooney]. Sure, a duchess going for Commander-in-Chief sounds weird, but is it any weirder than a reality TV show contestant like Donald Trump being president?”…

Six weeks locked in a house with your ex-husband is the last thing most women would want, but for Demi Moore, it’s helped her have an epiphany. Sources say the actress has fallen back in love with Bruce Willis after the former couple was thrown into quarantine in Idaho together under rather bizarre circumstances. Demi, 57, has reportedly confessed to close friends she wants to remarry the Die Hard hunk. Much has been made of the fact that Bruce, 65, has been self-isolating with his ex and their daughters while his new wife, Emma Heming Willis, remains in Los Angeles with their two young daughters. Meanwhile, Demi and her daughters have posted several photos of themselves with Bruce, appearing to all the world like a happy family. BAD TIMING “That’s…

Nobody expected two Lego Masters stars would find love in the brick pit, but that’s exactly what happened last year when Miller Keys and Kaitlyn Lee announced they’d fallen for one another after competing on the show! And as the competition heats up during the second season, the couple have taken to social media to reveal they’re stronger than ever. Despite being separated due to social distancing regulations, the couple – who are both based in Melbourne – have assured fans they’re withstanding the test of time. “We were friends from when we first met, and we’d hang out during our free time in between filming. But I had no idea Kaitlyn liked me,” Miller revealed last year. “I was completely oblivious to Kaitlyn’s flirtations. The other contestants had a…

She’s weeks away from the delivery room, and Katy Perry couldn’t make it more obvious that things aren’t exactly rosy between herself and the baby’s father, Orlando Bloom. The usually guarded singer candidly revealed recently there’s “friction between myself and my partner” – and sources tell Woman’s Day she’s only telling half the story. “Things have been bad between Katy and Orlando since they linked back up in LA after she was in Australia and he was filming in Europe,” says our insider. “They’ve been kind of thrown together 24/7, which they’re certainly not used to and the cracks are opening.” According to the source, Orlando’s been struggling to contain his partying ways since being in lockdown with Katy, who is expecting their baby girl in the US summer –…

Little did Queensland mum Taryn Turl know that being diagnosed with cancer on her 40th birthday would turn out to be the best present she could ever have received. For as devastating as the news was, it gave Taryn the courage to tackle her 130kg frame and embark on a Lite n’ Easy weight-loss program that she now feels ultimately saved her life. “I was on a one-way track for a stroke or a heart attack for sure,” she says. “While I certainly didn’t think so at the time, I can now say cancer saved my life.” Overweight from childhood, the popular school librarian battled reproductive cancer for years, before having to undergo a series of surgeries when she was 45 – and weighing her heaviest at 130kg. The operations…

On Prince Louis’ second birthday on April 23, Prince Charles shared an adorable picture of himself in a sweet embrace with the toddler. For Harry, seeing the image a week before his own son turned one was like a dagger to the heart. “It was a jarring reminder that his own child will grow up without a bond with his paternal grandfather,” says a source. “It’s a side effect of Harry’s quick move to LA he never considered. Regardless of how this all plays out, Harry will always love his dad and is terribly sad Archie won’t get to know him in the same way.”…

When Princess Diana collaborated with royal journalist Andrew Morton to pen her biography in the early 1990s, it sent shockwaves through the palace and damaged many of her relationships. But that hasn’t stopped Meghan repeating history by working with UK-based royal correspondent Omid Scobie on a book to be released in August this year. “Releasing her memoirs was one of the worst things Diana ever did to the monarchy, in their eyes, and Meghan knew it – I’m surprised Harry is allowing this, much less going along with it,” says a source. “Meghan won’t be stopped, though. She had Morton’s book on her own shelf growing up, and must be relishing a chance to tell her own story in a similar way.” Meghan’s obsession with Diana reached a peak this…

Standing in a chic black dress and cradling her baby bump, Jasmine Stefanovic looked more than ready to give birth to her first daughter last week. And while at the time of going to press Jasmine was eagerly awaiting her little girl’s arrival, Woman’s Day sources believe she was expected to go into hospital at the weekend for a C-section and that husband Karl Stefanovic could be giving his new baby her first cuddle already! “The countdown is on,” Jasmine, 36, wrote excitedly alongside the photo. With the shoe designer preparing herself for an exciting few weeks, Karl is also readying himself to not only usher in his new baby girl, but a whole fresh start for his family. “I can’t wait,” he says. “I was always very excited about…

Fired from his job at a Michelin star restaurant in Chester, England, when he was just a teenager , Jock made his way to London and found himself in front of MasterChef star Marco Pierre White looking for a job. Jock doesn’t know what Marco saw in him, but he took a chance and gave him a job at his world-famous Hyde Park Hotel. “I’ve always said, ‘If it wasn’t for food, I would’ve died.’ When you’re an addict, there’s very little that’s more compelling than doing that drug. Luckily for me, I…

Acting is in Suri’s blood, so it’s little wonder she’s determined to follow in her famous parents’ footsteps.

Never one to rest on her laurels, the Duchess of Cornwall has been making the most of self-isolation in Scotland by getting in shape! Last week, Camilla, 72, revealed the secret to her newly toned figure is ballet lessons, a practice she started before lockdown and has continued since. “I’ve certainly never done any ballet before, and it doesn’t matter whether you’ve done ballet or not. It’s something that will make you feel better. “It gives you a certain amount of confidence in yourself,” says Camilla, who has been taking a “Silver Swans” lesson, which caters for adult beginners. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s 10 minutes or 20 minutes, it just starts off the day. “I do a combination of a bit of Silver Swans and a bit of Pilates…

Prince Harry shared a video of himself reading Thomas & Friends: The Royal Engine, a special story celebrating the tank engine’s 75th birthday. But fans noticed some parallels with Meghan’s estranged father Thomas, who is also turning 75. The duchess is embroiled in a court case with him over his decision to release a letter from her. “It must have hurt Meghan’s dad to see Harry celebrating one Thomas’ birthday and not the other,” says a palace insider.…

Their marriage ended more than three years ago in a bitter divorce, but Karl and Cassandra have put their differences aside to combat “outrageous” claims from her half-sister Allegra. A close friend tells Woman’s Day that Cass and Karl were both rocked by the allegations in a tabloid newspaper from Allegra, who claimed their marriage was a “war zone” and that Cass was “obsessed” with Karl’s second wife Jasmine. “Throughout their marriage both Karl and Cass were nothing but generous and kind to Allegra,” says the friend. Allegra claims Cass enlisted her help to monitor news feeds about Jasmine and Karl when they wed in Mexico in 2018, and she was staying with Cass. But Cass last week told friends that Allegra, 22, wasn’t even staying with her in Sydney…

Step 1 OWN UP & TAKE RESPONSIBILITY Nobody likes to admit they’re wrong, but a genuine apology always starts by accepting responsibility. Try saying the words, “I’m sorry and I hope you can forgive me,” straight away and admit your regrets. An apology should take place as soon as possible, face to face and in private. But even if you need to make amends days or weeks after the incident, put yourself in the other person’s shoes so they sense your empathy and sincerity. “If you can genuinely imagine how the other person feels, it will add to the gravitas of the apology,” says etiquette expert Anna Musson. Step 2 KEEP IT REAL In addition to accepting responsibility for your error, an elegant apology includes a clear and brief explanation…
