In the Woman’s Day office, we are celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee by bringing out the bunting and raising a glass to Her Majesty’s extraordinary 70-year rule. And inside this week’s issue we continue the festivities by sharing her private photo album (p12), which reveals a touching glimpse of the young Elizabeth’s life before becoming the monarch and shows a very different side of life behind palace walls. We also delve into the sweet reunion between Prince Harry and his sister-in-law Kate (p10), which will hopefully mark the beginning of a happier and more united future for the Cambridges and Sussexes. The Queen would no doubt agree, it’s about time!…

1952 While in Kenya, the 25-year-old princess was told her father, King George VI, had died and she would now be Queen. 1953 The formal coronation of Elizabeth II took place on June 2 in a one-day ceremony at Westminster Abbey. It was the first ever to be televised and watched by millions. 1954 Her Majesty and Prince Philip spent 58 days in Australia. The Queen has visited her royal fans Down Under 16 times and travelled to every state and territory in the country. 1964 After the birth of her fourth child, Prince Edward, the Queen’s family was complete. There were nearly 16 years between Her Majesty’s eldest son, Charles, and her youngest. 1969 Charles was formally acknowledged as the Prince of Wales at Caernarfon Castle. He was 20…

Jennifer Lopez once declared she’s “such a perfectionist” – so it’s no surprise she expects the same high standards from her man. The style-conscious star has made it her mission to bring fiance Ben Affleck’s look up to scratch, by overhauling his wardrobe. “Jen threw out at least four-fifths of his clothes,” says an insider of the 52-year-old singer. “She does the same with all her men, but insists it’s not controlling. She’s obsessed with menswear, just as much as women’s, and let’s face it, Ben’s not known for his debonair street style. De-scruffing Ben was somewhat overdue! “To Ben’s credit, he knows when he’s out of his depth, but he did manage to salvage a rotten-looking pair of fishing shorts from the garbage!” And rather than be slighted by…

Currently living in the UK, The Project’s Carrie Bickmore lamented her pavlova “parenting fail” for a food festival at her daughter’s new school on Instagram. But that was nothing compared to the recent internet gaffe her partner Chris Walker made, when he unknowingly stripped naked in front of colleagues after failing to log off after a work video call! The ABC TV producer, who is the co-creator and executive producer of The Weekly, claims he was undressing to get into the shower when the slip-up occurred. “It was clearly unintentional,” said a spokesperson from Chris’ production company Thinkative. It isn’t the first time Chris has been exposed online. In November, Carrie, 41, revealed her partner had appeared naked in the background of a work Zoom call she was on with…

Never has there been a showbiz court case quite like Johnny Depp suing his ex-wife Amber Heard for defamation. The actor last week successfully managed to prove in a US court that by declaring herself a domestic violence victim in a newspaper opinion piece, Amber had defamed him. Subsequently, last week he was awarded $14.43 million for his troubles while she successfully countersued him for $2.7 million in damages after his lawyer said her claims were a hoax. The case, which featured appalling allegations and toxic testimony from both sides, was televised, dissected on social media and generally divided watercooler opinions around the world. Insiders agree that verdict aside, there were no winners in the battle of Depp v Heard. Here, Woman’s Day looks at what’s next for the warring…

Princess Charlene and her seven-year-old daughter Princess Gabriella had a major mummy-daughter moment at the Monte Carlo Fashion Awards, where the picture-perfect pair posed in matching pink outfits. Proud mum Charlene, 44, gushed she was “delighted” to share the spotlight with her mini-me, who she says “wasn’t nervous at all” about appearing on stage alongside her mother. It no doubt helped that Gabriella is a fashion fan! “Gabriella has her own style and I like to encourage that,” Charlene reveals. FRAGILE HEALTH The royal, who was looking healthier and happier than she has in months, has also opened up for the first time about her year-long battle with “emotional and physical exhaustion”, which saw her spend four months in a Swiss clinic earlier this year. “My state of health is…

AMANDA BYRNES In the 1990s, the inner Melbourne suburb of St Kilda was a dangerous place. A number of sex workers were murdered after being taken from the streets where they worked. One of these women was 23-year-old Amanda, who was brutally killed in 1991. BELINDA WILLIAMS On a winter’s night in June 1999, Belinda’s six-year-old daughter was lulled to sleep as her mother read her favourite fairytales to her. But when the little girl woke the next morning, her mum was nowhere to be seen. Eleven days later, bushwalkers discovered the 36-year-old’s body a short distance from her home in the Buninyong, Victoria. GARY ALLIBON Due to retire eight months later, Gary, 59, never made it to his final day at work. The security guard was fatally shot during…

LUNGESBegin your basic lunge with your feet together before taking a big step forward. Once you step forward, bend both knees so that your back knee almost touches the floor. Stay in that position for a few seconds, then step your front leg back and repeat the other side. PLANKPlanking burns a lot of calories and is extremely valuable for the core strength of your body. It not only works on building a tighter tummy, but it’s an all-rounder for improved posture, as well as better balance and coordination! SQUATSSquats target a lot of muscle groups at once. Take your feet shoulder-width apart and go down as if you were about to sit on a chair. Make sure your chest stays lifted, your shoulders are down and your abdominal muscles…

After more than two years of lockdowns and restrictions, Brits were certainly ready to party. A record 12 million people are believed to have toasted the Queen over tea, quiches, cakes and scones at more than 200,000 local events and street parties. More than 85,000 Big Jubilee lunches were registered at the time of press, eclipsing the 64,000 similar events at the Golden Jubilee in 2002. Organisers say the Queen’s daughter-in-law, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, was a driving force behind the record registrations. “She’s been behind us every step of the way,” says The Big Lunch boss Paul Stewart.…

The Queen’s corgis have become as synonymous with her as crowns and castles, so it’s no surprise that the dog breed has grown in popularity as she’s reigned. And while Pembrokeshire Welsh corgi numbers slumped to just 274 puppies born in 2014, The Kennel Club has reported a huge resurgence of 1223 born in 2021. Sources believe it’s due to the Netflix series The Crown introducing the breed, which has now been removed from a “vulnerable” native breeds list, to a younger generation. According to the Daily Mirror, the “peaks and troughs” of the corgi’s approval “can be traced alongside the Queen’s reign”. In 1944, the year her first corgi Susan was introduced to the British public, corgis jumped by 56 per cent in popularity.…

She’s one of the most dedicated and hardworking stars in the industry, but there’s mounting concern at Seven that Sunrise co-host Natalie Barr has taken on way too much, with friends of the breakfast TV veteran genuinely concerned for their “workaholic” mate. Nat’s only been in the chair for 16 months since Sam [Armytage]’s shock exit last March, yet Nat is on the precipice of burning out after becoming “exhausted from doing much of the heavy lifting, both on and off the camera”, a well-placed source shares with Woman’s Day. “She’s always been some sort of superwoman, and she’s a perfectionist. With the industry now more cutthroat than ever, Nat knows the only way to keep Sunrise ahead of their main rival, Nine’s Today, is to lift your game and…

It’s been more than three years since Orlando Bloom popped the question to Katy Perry on Valentine’s Day 2019, but the actor and the popstar still haven’t set a wedding date. And now the couple’s circle are wondering whether the pair – who share 21-month-old daughter Daisy, will ever make it down the aisle. After hitting pause on plans to tie the knot in Japan in 2020, because of the pandemic, an insider says the couple have never rescheduled. And while their busy careers have contributed to the delay, Katy, 37, also recently confessed that she and the 45-year-old Lord Of The Rings star are in couples counselling “because resentment can build up quickly when you’re both working hard”. But friends are hopeful the pair will eventually say I do.…

Nineties rom-com queen Andie MacDowell is set to be mother of the bride after daughter Margaret Qualley said “Yes!” to Jack Antonoff. The 27-year-old actress – who starred alongside Four Weddings And A Funeral’s Andie, 64, in the Netflix 2021 hit Maid – sparked engagement rumours after she was snapped wearing a new $139,000 sparkler on her left ring finger at Cannes last week. The Once Upon A Time… In Hollywood star then confirmed the wedding buzz by sharing a series of loved-up snaps of herself and her 38-year-old record producer fiance on Instagram with her four-carat engagement ring on full display. “Oh I love him!” Margaret captioned the sweet pics of the pair, who were first linked in 2021 and made their public debut as a couple at the…

When Jurassic Park was released in 1993, it transformed the movie industry, becoming the most successful film ever made at the time and revolutionising the use of special effects. The big-screen adaptation of Michael Crichton’s novel about a theme park featuring live dinosaurs broke box office records and spawned a series of successful sequels that will continue with Jurassic World Dominion, which is released this week. Excitingly for fans, the three stars of the original movie – Laura Dern, 55, Sam Neill, 74, and Jeff Goldblum, 69 – will reunite in the new flick. Here, Woman’s Day reveals some secrets you didn’t know about the blockbuster that started it all... Flaring up Despite the complicated shoot and numerous action sequences, most of the cast came away from Jurassic Park unscathed.…

At home with her husband David, 40-year-old Elena Di Fiore smiles as she cradles her twin daughters, one in each arm. Along with their two-and-a-half-year-old son, Domenic, her family – who live in Bundaberg, Queensland – is now complete. Yet the busy podcaster and mother-of-three stammers as she reveals how much of a miracle her six-month-old twins, Emilia and Sofia, really are – and how they very nearly didn’t make it. “I was 16 weeks pregnant when I was told they had twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome,” Elena tells Woman’s Day. The rare, life-threatening condition that affects unborn identical twins occurs when the shared placenta’s blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients are unevenly dispersed, resulting in one baby thriving and the other being starved of all it needs to survive. Hearing…

An amazing life AMANDA SAYS Barney tells me he has passed over and is with Susan’s dad.

He talks of the lady vet who he loved and tells his mum that his vet gave him another three years thanks to a special diet. Barney tells Susan that his acute kidney failure was not her fault and he does not blame her for anything. He wants…

“Beauty, to me, is knowing it’s not about my exterior, but how I feel overall,” says Ashley Graham.

Her top tip is simple. “Always moisturise before you apply concealer,” she instructs. BEAUTY STARS…

No matter how tense things became between princes William and Harry, one thing remained true: the Duchess of Cambridge only ever wanted the royal brothers to find peace. After all, no one was more welcoming toward Kate when she joined the Mountbatten-Windsor fold as an outsider than her surrogate “little brother” Harry. So when Harry and his family jetted in to London late last week, Kate, 40, knew this was her big chance to help heal the brothers’ rift – and get her old partner in crime back. “Kate misses Harry terribly,” says a source. “He was always such fun when he was living with them at Kensington Palace. He was a regular at their dinner table for pizza nights and Sunday lunch and was forever leaving her in stitches…

Beautiful chaos is the term Jamie Durie uses to describe his new life with a baby back home in Australia. “A lot is going on, but life is amazing. I’ve never been happier,” he tells Woman’s Day from his Sydney property. On top of his numerous TV projects and product lines, a mammoth build of a new “environmentally sophisticated” home in the city’s Northern Beaches and running his international design business, Jamie, 52, has also become a dad for the second time. Fiancee Ameka Jane gave birth to daughter Beau in July last year. “I’m a dad again! I always knew I’d have more kids, I guess it just needed to happen with the right person,” he admits. Talking of fatherhood in his 50s, Jamie admits that he’s now in…

While Karl Stefanovic is on the biggest campaign of his career to win a second gold Logie, behind the scenes the proud Queenslander is doing everything he can to convince the big bosses to bring back Midday! “Karl sees a golden opportunity after the axing of The Ellen DeGeneres Show in the 12 noon timeslot. Last week when Today aired Ellen’s finale, Karl made a cheeky comment to his viewers suggesting it was time for the Midday show to be resurrected,” a well-placed source reveals. Running for more than 13 years from 1985 through to 1998, with the likes of Ray Martin and Kerri-Anne Kennerley fronting the popular variety show, industry insiders are convinced its comeback would be a winner for the network. “Let’s not forget the success of The…

Justin Timberlake has announced that he’s “excited” to have offloaded his entire music back catalogue in a $140 million deal. But while fellow music stars Stevie Nicks, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen have all made the same move, they’re decades older than Justin, prompting some to question why the 41-year-old singer has cashed in so early. The move comes after Justin and wife Jessica Biel, 40 – who share sons Silas, seven, and Phineas, two – raised eyebrows by selling off their New York penthouse in January for $40 million. “Since Justin’s not working much these days and focusing on family life, he keeps an eagle eye on the state of his finances,” an insider tells Woman’s Day of the former *NSYNC star. “He’s taking extreme care to make sure…

She has a type! After stunning fans with her transformation into Pamela Anderson for TV series Pam & Tommy, it seems Downton Abbey star Lily James is making a habit of playing iconic ’90s blondes. The 33-year-old is hot favourite to star as late Playboy playmate and model Anna Nicole Smith in an upcoming biopic. Show creator Patrik Simpson confirms he’s reached out to the British beauty about taking on the role of the tragic TV star, who died from an accidental drug overdose in 2007 aged 39. “Lily is amazing… everything she does is brilliant,” says Patrik. “[The actress chosen] needs to be tall, beautiful, animated and jump off the screen.”…

This year’s Block contestants have reportedly called the hit show’s living conditions “inhumane”. According to an on-set source, the new Blockheads – who are filming in Gisborne in Victoria’s Macedon Ranges – are all at breaking point due to the freezing weather and lack of food and toilet paper. “Everyone is starving, exhausted and stressed. One female contestant has been crying for three days straight,” claims the insider. “They barely have any food. Some days a muesli bar and apple is as good as it gets.” Nine has denied the claims, with a spokesperson saying, “Everyone knows The Block is tough, but these claims are just false.”…

Deborah Wallace vividly recalls the day she found herself walking in the footsteps of a dead woman. At 24, she’d only just cut her teeth at the Blacktown police force when she was selected to recreate the final movements of nurse Anita Cobby, murdered while walking home from the train station in 1986. “They decided to do a re-enactment of her last few hours,” says Deb, now 61. “They dressed me up in clothes similar to what she wore, put me on the train and kept the media with me.” With leads drying up and coverage starting to drop off, the police had to become creative with their hunt for information, she explains. Weeks later, the killers were caught, and Deb was on the path to becoming a detective. BACK…

Tell us how you came up with the idea for Black River… I grew up in a boarding school – my parents were teachers. And I worked as a newspaper journalist for 20 years. The idea was something very bad happened on the campus of a big boarding school and the journalist sent to cover the story had been at the school 30 years ago. How long did it take you to write it? Three years. To be honest, I loved every minute of it, well, most of the time. What can readers expect from the novel? A mystery, a whodunnit, a police procedural. It’s set in Sydney now, it’s quite dark. One theme is how the police and the media use each other. There’s a very strong female lead…
