Innholdsfortegnelse for 2050 i Woman's Day

We’ve got some incredible stories in this week’s magazine, but there was one that really stood out to me as I was reading through them all late last week. On page 43, you’ll meet Sydney retiree Colin who, inspired by his daughter’s own mental health battle, walked 115km around the grounds of his retirement village during the pandemic to raise money and awareness for the Black Dog Institute. The 87-year-old and his fellow residents, who cheered him on along the way, should be so proud. Colin, you are an inspiration and a testament to the fact that age is no barrier. Well done from everyone at Woman’s Day.…

In all her years as Denmark’s future queen, Princess Mary is rarely seen without showing her trademark megawatt smile. So when she broke down in tears during an emotional public speech last week, those close to the 48-year-old say it was the culmination of a “very trying year” for the Aussie royal. Speaking at an event in Copenhagen in honour of Children, Youth & Grief’s 20th anniversary, witnesses tell Woman’s Day she was “visibly overcome” when recalling her own mum Etta Donaldson, who died of a heart condition when Mary was only 26. “It’s difficult, if not impossible, to find meaning in losing someone you love,” she said. “But what makes sense, and something that cannot be taken from us, is [what] we all had with that person.” And sources…

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were devastated to lose their family dog Lupo recently – but friends say it was even harder explaining it to their eldest child. An insider tells Woman’s Day that seven-year-old Prince George was “desperately sad” after spending his entire life with the black cocker spaniel, which Kate was often seen walking in Kensington Gardens. “Poor little man didn’t understand what had happened,” says a source. “He adored that dog.” Kate and Wills, both 38, released the heartbreaking news last weekend, and in a short statement they wrote, “Very sadly last weekend our dear dog, Lupo, passed away. He has been at the heart of our family for the past nine years and we will miss him so much.” Lupo was a gift to the…

TV’s favourite Bachelorette Sophie Monk has been hiding a very big secret – she’s engaged! According to Woman’s Day’s sources, the vivacious blonde’s handsome boyfriend Joshua Gross, 42, whisked her away to Sydney for the week before it’s believed he dropped to one bended knee and asked for her hand in marriage – and Sophie’s reply was a resounding yes! Our insider says marketing executive Joshua surprised Sophie, 40, with an oval solitaire engagement ring with a hidden halo, which he designed with the help of the TV star’s favourite jeweller Luke Rose – and it’s estimated to cost a cool $25,000. “Josh picked up the ring in Sydney last week and then surprised her by popping the question,” tells a source close to the pair. The former Bardot singer…

Fans and celebrity friends have rallied around Johnny Ruffo after he sadly announced that his brain cancer has returned. In a devastating post on social media, the former Home And Away actor, 32, revealed to his followers that he has yet another uphill fight ahead of him, just three years after he was first diagnosed with cancer. “After an unexpected week of seizures and excruciating headaches it is with a heavy heart that I have to let you know I now have another huge battle ahead of me as my brain cancer has returned,” he writes. “Though I will dig deep and beat this sh*t disease again.” Alongside the caption, Johnny posted an image of him lying in bed next to his girlfriend Tahnee Sims. Celebrities including Ada Nicodemou, Guy…

Gucci Bubba is all class! AMANDA SAYS Gucci Bubba tells me she is very sassy but in a sweet way. Gucci Bubba likes a schedule – when it gets to about 8.30pm to 9pm she will let Brinly know it’s time for bed. Gucci Bubba tells me she has her own water fountain that she loves to play in – she will stand up in it and play for ages. Gucci Bubba tells me she now has an outdoor area that was made for her and for the other cat that lives here. However, Gucci Bubba loves being an indoor cat. There have been a few spiders in the house and she has played with them but lets them go. Another cat comes through, Teddy Minou, and he just loves…

FULL MOON This week brings a full moon: this time around it’s in the sign of Gemini. Full moons are always intense times and Gemini is the planet of communications. So, on the one hand, there’s a chance that some communications are going to get a little bit heated this week. If you know you are full moon-sensitive and you feel your temper starting to get a little bit out of control, breathe. It’s far better to use the full moon to release and move on from any upsets. GOOD FOR COMMUNICATIONS This full moon is taking place just ahead of a lovely alignment between the planet of communications, Mercury, and the planet of commitments, Saturn. This really is a great connection and suggests that despite the risks inherent in…

When the Duchess of Sussex bravely revealed in a deeply personal story for The New York Times that she and Prince Harry had suffered a miscarriage in July, it seemed hard to imagine a positive coming from such an immeasurable tragedy. But if there could be a silver lining, it seems the scale of their grief may have prompted Harry, 36, to reach out to his 38-year-old brother Prince William for comfort. ‘He has leaned on William through every tragedy’ “Make no mistake, this is a total tragedy, but it could also be the tipping point for emotional and stubborn Harry to finally mend fences with his brother. He has leaned on William through every tragedy that has befallen them, and despite all the bad blood between them, he needs…

But now it’s been revealed they were vacating the $52,000-a-month historic cottage and handing the keys to Harry’s pregnant cousin Princess Eugenie, 30, and her husband Jack Brooksbank, 34, to begin a new life with their soon-to-be born child! It’s no secret that Harry and Eugenie have been incredibly close since they were children and this move has been seen as a sign of their deep friendship. Insiders say Prince Andrew’s daughter is excited about her new home and nesting ahead of the arrival of her bub. “The Queen…

Phil’s tumultuous love-life seems to have also taken its toll on his daughter Lily after she penned an open letter to her father in 2017. In the memoir Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me, the actress opens up about her dysfunctional relationship with the rocker, slamming him for “not always being there when I needed and for not being the dad I expected”. The Emily In Paris star, 31, also linked her eating disorder and “insecurities” to her dad’s divorce to Orianne. But despite the stinging letter, Lily revealed she forgives her father. “We all make choices and, although I don’t excuse some of yours, at the end of the day we can’t rewrite the past. I forgive the mistakes you made. And although it may seem like it’s…

At 87 years old, Colin Stracey is proving he still has some pep in his step, after walking 115km for mental health charity Black Dog Institute. The retired milkman began taking twice-daily walks around the grounds of his Belrose retirement village in October to raise funds and awareness for the foundation, after his daughter Nycolle was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. “I was walking anyway – I might as well walk for a purpose,” says Colin. “People of my generation don’t talk about these things, men especially. “Maybe it will help the generations that follow. I know my children and grandchildren are more willing to ask for help and speak to others.” And while he feels “wonderful” raising awareness for such an important charity, the most rewarding part for Colin has…

While TV viewers try to work out what’s true and what’s not on the most controversial season of The Crown yet, there’s one fact everyone can agree on – intruder Michael Fagan’s dramatic palace break-in was a frightening lesson to the royal protection officers. Reliving the terrifying incident in which Michael managed to get into the Queen’s bedroom twice on two separate occasions has “had an effect” on Kate, say sources. “She’s worried about someone getting ideas about this,” says an insider. “She feels Kensington Palace is much more exposed out there in the great parks than Buckingham Palace and doesn’t want history repeating itself. “KP is one of the most heavily guarded buildings in the world, but even so, she’s asking to up the amount of royal protection…

While Prince Harry’s stateside move has caused plenty of controversy, he has received some good news – he’s been named “Sexiest Royal” in People magazine’s annual Sexiest Man Alive issue. “Harry was quite embarrassed by it and has copped a right ribbing from his mates back in the UK,” a source tells Woman’s Day. “Meghan’s proud though. In America this list is a big deal, and she loves that her husband is a part of it in their first year living there. Harry’s used to Wills being called the more handsome brother, so it must feel secretly like a small win for him.”…

Samantha Armytage is never one to shy away from a battle, but when she heard from her manager of seven months that he was cutting ties, the popular Sunrise anchor was reportedly reeling after being spectacularly “dumped” from the Fordham Company’s stable of stars. “Sam is furious – she’s asking herself how Nick [Fordham], a long-time friend and colleague, could scrap her like that,” an industry insider tells Woman’s Day. “Out of the blue Nick dumped me from his management company the day after my mother died,” Sam told The Daily Telegraph. “As you can imagine, this has been a harrowing time for me. This hasn’t made it any easier.” SAM’S SAD LOSS The TV star’s mother Elizabeth “Libby” Armytage sadly died on November 3 after a battle with an…

SCREAM SLAYER Obscured by long black robes and a ghostly mask, the killer from ’90s horror film Scream quickly rose to notoriety inspiring copycat slashers around the world. The cult franchise certainly struck a chord with lonely Belgian Thierry Jaradin. In 2001, the 24-year-old truck driver befriended his schoolgirl neighbour Alisson Cambier, 15, and invited her over to his home to swap some videotapes and have a chat. But when Jaradin tried to seduce her, Alisson politely declined. Humiliated, he left the room only to return dressed as the Scream slasher and holding two large carving knives. Clamping his hand over Alisson’s mouth to silence her screams, he stabbed her 30 times. Jaradin then placed her bloody body on his bed with a single rose in one of her limp…
