By the time you read this it will be one week since a defiant Prince Harry and his wife Meghan sat down with Oprah for what has arguably become the most talked about interview in royal history. No matter what your thoughts are on the matter – and there are many – it’s safe to say one thing... the royals will never be the same again. At the heart of all the drama is a family torn apart, and this week the Woman’s Day team has worked hard to bring you all the latest from Buckingham Palace as the Windsors face the fallout of a momentous week in the history of the monarchy.…

After four long years of battling it out in court, Modern Family star Sofia Vergara has emerged triumphant against her ex Nick Loeb over the custody rights to frozen pre-embryos the former couple created while they were still together. An LA court has banned Nick, 45, from bringing the embryos to term without Sofia’s “explicit written consent”. But Nick, who underwent IVF with the star, 48, in 2013 before they ended their engagement the following year, didn’t take kindly to the judge’s decision. “It’s sad that Sofia, a devout Catholic, would intentionally create babies just to kill them,” he said in a statement of the TV stunner, who is now married to actor Joe Manganiello.…

Meghan felt so unsupported by the palace during her mental health struggles, she turned to one of her late mother-in-law’s friends for help. “One of the people I reached out to, who has been a friend and a confidante, was one of Diana’s best friends,” Meghan told Oprah. “Who else could understand what it is actually like on the inside?” Although Meghan didn’t reveal which of the princess’ pals was there for her in her darkest hour, there has been speculation it was Julia Samuel – a revered psychotherapist for more than 30 years who has remained close to William and Harry. Julia, 61, has such a good relationship with the princes, she’s a godmother to Prince George.…

Meghan says she could not have felt “lonelier” during her time in the royal family, but she had no shortage of stars in her corner as she went public with her palace tell-all. Suits co-stars Patrick J Adams and Abigail Spencer, tennis great Serena Williams, model Chrissy Teigen and songstress Beyonce all came out to bat for their famous pal. “Meghan Markle, my selfless friend, lives her life – and leads by example – with empathy and compassion,” Serena, 39, wrote in a message of support. Meanwhile, Beyonce thanked Meghan, saying, “We are all strengthened and inspired by you.” But not everyone was so complimentary. The former star of The Real Housewives of New York Bethenny Frankel, 50, mocked Meghan on Twitter for “suffering in a palace with tiaras and…

He famously came out as straight, gay and bisexual last year, declaring publicly that he had been with both men and women and revealing he was told to hide his complex sexuality early in his career if he wanted to become a star. But Hugh Sheridan, 35, who last week proposed to social media star Kurt and has also publicly declared his love for singer Delta Goodrem in the past, still kept under wraps his biggest secret of all – that he officially married Dynasty star Rafael de la Fuente, 34, in a civil ceremony in LA six years ago. At the time, Hugh’s star was on the rise after winning millions of mainly female fans playing Ben Rafter on the hugely popular Aussie drama series Packed To The Rafters.…

As Samantha steps away from the Sunrise spotlight, it seems opportunities are opening up for former host Melissa Doyle as she lands a plum new role on Sky News Australia. Set to host hard-hitting special projects on the Foxtel news channel – which began with an exclusive interview with Kylie Moore-Gilbert about her two years in an Iranian prison – our source says the shoe is now firmly on the other foot as Sam may want to join her in the future. “Sam has positioned herself well with News Corp [which owns Sky News] with her podcast series, particularly after she got wind that Mel was on their books,” the source tells Woman’s Day. “She may want a piece of the action down the track.” But after already being replaced…

It might be 2021 but walk into Gina Guarnieri’s home and you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d travelled back in time. Gina lives surrounded by 1960s appliances and memorabilia, including crockery, furniture, clothing and a record player. The 57-year-old woman also has four scooters – three Vespas and a Lambretta – a 1966 Triumph Herald Convertible and a 1959 Bedford CA Porthole Campervan. Gina became obsessed with the decade in the early ’80s when she was a teenager, after watching the British cult film Quadrophenia. “It showed me a way of life that I wanted to be ‘me’,” she says. “During the ’70s, I didn’t like the clothes and homewares that were in vogue then. “I joined a ’60s R&B band. I was out six nights a week, often only…

Mary’s mini-me Princess Mary posted this sweet portrait with her 10-year-old daughter Josephine to mark International Women’s Day. Warrior women With mum Terri by her side, Bindi Irwin gave her yet-to-be-born baby girl a shout-out on International Women’s Day. “Here’s to strong women...” Home and a babe… Home And Away’s Ada Nicodemou showed off her impressive beach bod as she shot some scenes for the TV favourite at Sydney’s sunny Palm Beach.

James Brolin’s life with Barbra Streisand has gone to the dogs since the songstress gave her pooches, Miss Scarlett, Miss Violet and Miss Fanny, the full run of their home – and marital bed! “It’s clear the dogs come first,” a source says of the pampered pets, two of which were cloned from the star’s late beloved Coton de Tulear, Samantha. “He’s taken about all he can.” Sick of being ignored, the 80-year-old actor has given his wife of nearly 23 years an ultimatum – prioritise him, or he’s packing his bags! And while sources say James would never follow through and Babs, 78, knows he is just bluffing, she admits she fawns over her furry friends. “Each puppy is unique and has her own personality,” she says. “Every time…

Donning a diamond tennis bracelet that once belonged to Diana wasn’t Meghan’s only nod to her late mother-in-law during the shocking Oprah interview. The heavily lined eyes and the emotional bombshells immediately drew comparisons to Diana’s infamous 1995 Panorama interview, in which she revealed, “There were three of us” in her marriage to Charles. Harry himself likened his wife to his beloved mother during the chat with Oprah. “I’m just really relieved and happy to be sitting here, talking to you with my wife by my side because I can’t begin to imagine what it must’ve been like for [my mother] going through this process by herself all those years ago,” he told the talk show queen. Diana’s presence was also felt when Harry hinted that the royal family fallout…

A determined Brad Pitt has been fighting in court for more than four years to get his kids back, and now his ex Angelina Jolie’s rumoured financial woes could finally see him win that battle. And better still, the actor may be able to live with his mini-me daughter Shiloh again for good! An insider tells Woman’s Day, “Brad’s feeling quietly confident that he’ll see more of the younger children in the future, and his greatest hope is that Shiloh, who he has always shared a tight bond with, may even speak up to say she wants to move in with her dear old dad.” ‘Brad’s friends think Ange is struggling with the pressure’ Until now, any prospect of spending quality time again with his five youngest children, Pax, 17,…

New MAFS intruder Kerry is set to make her mark on the show this week, but trying her hand at love on the reality TV experiment was something she almost didn’t do – until her ex-husband talked her into it! “I made sure fairly early in the process that I had his blessing but he told me to go for gold,” Kerry, 30, tells Woman’s Day. “We’re still on really good terms.” Applying for MAFS just a year after her divorce, the Sunshine Coast bride-to-be says it was the death of a best friend that made her “open her eyes”. “I lost one of my closest friends when I was a teen so I learned just how short life is,” she says. “The thought of getting up to heaven one…

With Seven’s Dancing With The Stars just weeks away from hitting our screens, Woman’s Day can exclusively reveal the next star set to return to the dancefloor is Jamie Durie! The veteran host, 50, will burn up the ballroom with Melbourne-based dancer and Burn The Floor star Siobhan Power, 14 years after originally storming the show in 2007. The Manpower hunk came seventh in the show’s sixth season, with Kate Ceberano taking the crown, but this time, a rejuvenated – and recently engaged – Jamie won’t let the coveted disco ball trophy slip from his hands that easily. “I’m thrilled to be returning to DWTS for this year’s All Stars season,” he tells Woman’s Day. “It’s been almost 14 years since I was last on the show, so I’m looking…

It’s a holiday Juliana King will never forget – giving birth to her first child, son Thorian, with husband Darius, just days out from Christmas Day. Talking to Woman’s Day, Juliana, 32, says that motherhood has been a “beautiful and divine contrast” to her 15 years serving as a professional lifeguard in a male-dominated industry. “For me, it’s a beautiful time in my life to begin to dive deep into the feminine and enjoy the shift of energy and life change,” she says. “While it’s not easy and every day is new, I’m absolutely loving it and look forward to the day I can share my love of the ocean with my little one.”…

Q Will my 18-year-old son Sean complete his mechanic apprenticeship or leave and do something else? He’s unsure what he wants and doesn’t feel capable of completing his apprenticeship. Worried mum MITCHELL SAYS I feel deep down he’s had a change of heart and lost interest in his apprenticeship. The decision to continue on will rest with him, but down the track he’ll consider pursuing a different career path. Q My life is at a standstill.

1 CLEAN BEAUTY When it comes to skincare, eco-friendly and wallet-friendly don’t always go hand-in-hand due to the pricier ingredients in non-toxic formulations. But some new brands are changing that, with lines less than $20 and some that pare back packaging to keep their high-quality formulas more affordable. Biossance 100% Squalane Oil $12 Alkira Lilly Pilly, Desert Lime & Kangaroo Paw Purifying Facial Scrub $14.95 2 BLUE-LIGHT BARRIERS We all know the importance of a daily SPF to protect our skin from the damaging effects of the sun, but with the growing evidence that prolonged exposure to blue light (emitted from computer screens, tablets and smartphones) can also lead to signs of ageing. Dermatologist Ranella Hirsch recommends applying a broad spectrum sunscreen with antioxidants every day. “It’ll help neutralise…

Jennifer Garner hasn’t had much luck in the love department since her split from Ben Affleck in 2015. But insiders say her new celebrity friends, Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, have a plan to end the 48-year-old actress’ man drought! “Ryan and Blake can’t believe that Jen hasn’t been scooped up yet,” a source told Life & Style. “But they’ve got a couple of eligible bachelors in mind.” And Jen – who became friends with Ryan, 44, on the set of upcoming Netflix movie The Adam Project in Vancouver – is grateful they’re getting her back in the game. “Jen’s excited,” says a source of the star, who reportedly hasn’t been on a real date for quite a while.

Is Emma Watkins eyeing off a solo career? The Wiggles star has sparked speculation she’s planning to step out on her own after ditching her usual yellow skivvy for a stylish makeover on the cover of The New York Times Style Magazine’s first Australian edition, T Australia. Looking unrecognisable out of her Wiggles costume and in couture instead, the 31-year-old said she was “honoured” to be featuring in the glossy. And now fans are speculating it could be the first step towards her breaking away from the children’s group and starting a solo career. “Beautiful,” commented one admirer of the star’s glam new look. “She is just what the young girls need to see on screen,” added another. Wiggles co-founder Anthony Field admits Emma’s always been the one to watch.…

PRINCESS DIANA, 1995 Who would have believed there would one day be a royal interview to top this? Diana’s interview with British journalist Martin Bashir was staggering and embarrassing for the royal family, with the People’s  Princess sharing intimate details about her marriage to Prince Charles and her struggle with royal life three years after their separation. There were revelations about Diana’s battle with bulimia and depression and, of course, the role Camilla Parker Bowles had played in her unhappy marriage. “There were three of us in this marriage so it was a bit crowded,” Diana famously said in the interview that has recently made headlines all over again over the journalist’s invasive questioning and methods used to set up the chat. PRINCE CHARLES, 1994 It was Charles who had…

Buckingham Palace was prepared for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to air some unflattering grievances as part of their Oprah TV special, but they weren’t expecting the couple to reveal they felt utterly failed by Prince Charles. While the runaway royals spoke warmly of Harry’s grandmother, the Queen, they levelled sensational claims that the Prince of Wales had “cut them off financially” and even stopped taking his youngest son’s calls. Harry confirmed they’re now back in touch but added, “There’s a lot to work through there. I feel really let down because he’s been through something similar. He knows what pain feels like, and Archie’s his grandson.” LET DOWN BY FAMILY A source close to the Sussexes says, “It would have been hard for Harry to make this claim…

Very few royal family members escaped attention last week when Oprah grilled its latest defectors... SARAH FERGUSON Meghan revealed a close friendship with Sarah, saying it was “Fergie”, 61, who taught her to curtsey to the Queen before meeting Her Majesty at an impromptu York family gathering at their Windsor home. A source says, “Meghan found Fergie to be among the most warm, welcome and sympathetic.” PRINCE ANDREW Despite his dealings with dead paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Meghan and Harry hinted they are close with his controversial uncle. “When the Sussexes moved to Frogmore, they were just a stone’s throw away from the Yorks’ Windsor home,” says a royal insider. PRINCE WILLIAM Despite saying, “I love my brother to bits,” Harry confirmed their long-running feud when he added, “The relationship is…

Baby, it’s time for a break! Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom treated their six-month-old daughter Daisy Dove to a day at the beach during their long Hawaiian holiday. Swimsuit-clad Katy was gorgeous and glowing as she beamed at her bub, who was cutely kitted out in a floral rash suit and pink sunhat. And while the 36-year-old popstar doted on their little girl, her buff fiance Orlando, 44, stopped to salute the sun and do some downward dogs! The tropical paradise is a favourite for Katy and Orlando, who took their first holiday as a couple there in 2016. And it seems having little Daisy along only makes things even more picture perfect. “[Daisy] is the greatest gift I’ve ever received,” Katy gushes of motherhood. “There’s nothing better than having…

Ryan Clark has been one busy man. Aside from working as a Waverley Council lifeguard, just completing filming Bondi Rescue’s 16th season and running two of his E-Lab Training gyms in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, his third child, son Marley Colin, was born just five weeks ago! “Another boy. Number three now – should be a nice and relaxing household,” the star known as “Whippet” jokes to Woman’s Day. “A girl would have been amazing, but the first two boys [Nixon, seven, and Jett, five] have been awesome, and as long as they’re healthy – it doesn’t bother me what we have. He’s a great addition to the family.” LIKE FATHER... While Ryan, 37, has taken to fatherhood like a duck to water, he says his “superwoman” wife Gina has supported…

‘Nat is the real rock in the line-up and always has been’ As the dust begins to settle at Seven following Samantha Armytage’s shock departure from Sunrise last week, Woman’s Day hears the network’s offices are a much calmer place – with a source revealing the team she’s left behind are ecstatic that long-revered newsreader Natalie Barr will replace her. “The obvious next person for the job has finally been rewarded,” says the source. “Nat is the real rock in the Sunrise line-up and always has been, and there’s not one person at Seven headquarters who isn’t happy for her. She’s very loved and respected. Ask anyone in the building how they feel for the future and the answer is a resounding ‘very bright’. Everyone’s excited.” While the entire network…

Beware of the river AMANDA SAYS Honey and Patches show me they’ve both been missing since the middle of January this year. These two were not used to the new area and them passing was quite sudden. The pair show me they were originally from a family of 15 other cats and they had only just recently moved to this place, which they really loved. Another cat called Jasper comes through and tells me he fell into the water and came home soaked. He tells the others not to go near the river as it is dangerous. Jasper is very, very upset about this and warns the others do not go down there. Jenny’s dad comes through and shows me he has been on the other side for a very…

Aries MAR 21 – APR 20 Is everyone off with the pixies? Confusion abounds, so keep things simple or misunderstandings could create havoc.

We know that vegies are good for us, but did you know that some varieties provide a much bigger health boost than others? Enter: the Pegan diet. A cross between Paleo and vegan eating, the 75 per cent vegetable-based plan packs a nutrient-rich punch, favouring particular types of veg over others. Physician and author of The Pegan Diet, Dr Mark Hyman, explains... SLOW CARBS Did you know that all plant foods are carbohydrates? They’re whole food carbohydrates, or what I like to call “slow carbs”. The difference between whole plant food carbohydrates and refined carbohydrates is that refined carbs are stripped of their nutritive value and send your blood sugar on a rollercoaster, whereas plant food carbs are rich in vitamins, minerals, fibre and phytochemicals, and help balance your blood…
