Allow me to introduce myself – I’m Josh, Woman’s Day’s Deputy Editor, stepping in while Editor Laura enjoys a much-deserved break. It’s been a privilege and an honour pulling my first issue together and it reminded me so much why I love this magazine – the people!

With a million-dollar-plus salary and one of the most recognisable voices in the nation, Jana Wendt was the face of a generation for almost 30 years. That was before she vanished from public life. But the much-loved star, who became known as the “perfumed steamroller” for her combination of glamour, beauty and razor-sharp interviews, has assured the world she is very much “alive and kicking” and loving life out of the spotlight. FOLLOWING HER PASSION Jana, who quietly celebrated her 66th birthday last month, says she didn’t ever imagine ending her famous TV career at 50, but now sees it as a blessing in disguise because it allowed her to pursue her passion for writing. “I am ensconced in what is for me the new, and deeply personal, occupation of…
If the Duke and Duchess of Sussex thought returning to London for the Queen’s jubilee would mean all is forgiven and soon to be forgotten, they quickly got the message this was not to be. The look of surprise when an usher showed them to the cheap seats at St Paul’s Cathedral for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee thanksgiving service was plain for all to see. “Once they had finally squeezed past the York sisters and taken a seat behind the Wessex kids, Harry had a face like thunder,” says a witness. “He knew being placed so far back in the ranks was designed to show him where he stood.” A palace insider says there “can be no doubt” that the Sussexes’ seating arrangements were signed off by Prince William, who,…

UK newspaper The Sun reveals, “Harry and Meghan wanted their photographer to capture the moment… but they were told, ‘No chance – it’s a private family meeting.’” It wasn’t the only time the Queen made her feelings crystal clear. In a pre-recorded voiceover played during the Platinum Party, she paid tribute to Charles’ “eldest son” William for his work on climate change, but neglected to mention Harry. CAMBRIDGES SKIP THE PARTY! The Sussexes hosted a casual picnic at Frogmore in honour of Lili turning one but Kate, William and their eldest children had work to undertake on behalf of HM, and jetted to Wales for Prince George and Princess Charlotte’s first walkabouts instead.…
The Queen waited 363 days to finally meet the great-granddaughter who bears her family nickname. Woman’s Day understands the Sussexes, who were staying at Frogmore Cottage on Windsor Castle grounds, together with their children, were invited to the Queen’s sitting room for a formal introduction. “The Queen was besotted, and you can’t blame her. Lili is incredibly cute and looks just like her daddy,” says a source. “It was also lovely for Her Majesty to see Archie now he’s three. The Sussexes have kept the Queen abreast of their lives through regular video calls, but it was nothing like the real thing.” “Lili is very cheeky like her dad,” says an insider close to the Sussexes. “You can see why the Queen – and now everyone else – was instantly…
