As I write this letter from my home office (lounge room), in the background the television is firmly set, as it has been all week, on the Olympics. Like so many others around the country, I have eagerly kept up with our Aussie athletes as they’ve made their mark in Tokyo. Each and every one of them should be celebrated, but none more so than our golden girl of the pool, Emma McKeon. As she touched down in Darwin late last week, seven medals in her bag, we had the pleasure of catching up with the woman now known as our greatest ever Olympian. You can read our exclusive interview on page 22. To all our Aussie athletes, a big congratulations and an even bigger welcome home!…

JIMMY & BROOKE ‘CALLING THE SHOTS’ ON BACHIE! While a producer’s influence is usually behind the juicy drama we see play out on reality TV, Woman’s Day hears that this year’s Bachelor Jimmy Nicholson, 32, and Bachelorette Brooke Blurton, 26, are the ones calling all the shots! “Jimmy and Brooke have laid down the law this year – they know what they want and they’ve seen what previous storylines can do to past contestants, and they’re not going down that same path,” says our well-placed insider. “These two have made it pretty clear what their standards are and they won’t be persuaded by producers. “I wouldn’t call them brattish – they simply have their expectations.” Dubbed the “prince and princess” by the crew, the source says their demands range…
The Queen is wasting no time picking up the pieces after Prince Harry’s defection and, in true matriarchal style, has recruited her most trusted peacekeeper Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge with the most difficult task of all – saving the royal family. Woman’s Day understands the Queen, 95, has been leaning heavily on Prince William’s 39-year-old wife these past few weeks after she decamped from Buckingham Palace to Balmoral Castle to be alone, mourn her husband and wrap her head around the monarchy-threatening mess created by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. “Kate’s become one of Her Majesty’s most trusted allies and confidantes,” says an insider. “They talk often and Kate has become rather a sounding-board for the Queen, who admires her dedication and dignified grace that has benefitted the Firm.…
It was a very happy birthday last week for the Duchess of Sussex, who marked her 40th milestone with a triumphant appearance – and a few well-known friends. In a video posted to her Archewell website, Meghan shared a Zoom chat with Bridesmaids star Melissa McCarthy, who suggested they celebrate the duchess’ special day with tea, a yacht party, or even a reunion of Suits – the show that made her famous. Instead, Meghan – cheered on by Prince Harry, who was spotted juggling outside the window of her stylish home office, and her sleepy beagle Guy – opted to launch a new initiative to mark her special day. The “40x40” plan is for women to offer 40 minutes of mentoring to other women who have found themselves out of…
When Jack Brooksbank got home from his “work trip” to Italy last week, he had an awful lot of explaining to do after being busted frolicking on a vintage yacht in Capri with a gaggle of stunning women. Sources tell Woman’s Day that his wife Princess Eugenie, 31, is “extremely angry” that her husband of almost three years would get himself into such a compromising position, even if the Casamigos brand ambassador is desperately trying to explain to the York family that “it was all innocent fun with a few colleagues”. Those colleagues included his Casamigos workmate, global director Rachel Zalis, and fashion ambassador and model Maria Buccellati. Former model Erica Pelosini was also on the yacht, and was topless as she chatted with Jack. “Eugenie was devastated when those…
