Dinnertime in my house is often a fraught occasion - my toddler Leni loves to throw her food on the floor (or at me!), while my four-year-old Maggie would happily eat jam toast for every meal if she had her way. So it was something of a relief to hear that even celebrity chef Colin Fassnidge’s dinners are found lacking by his hard-to-please kids, which was just one of the fun anecdotes he shared with Woman’s Day ahead of the launch of his new show Kitchen Nightmares (p30). And if all that talk of food has got you looking for some recipe inspo, our light bites special on page 68 should be just the answer! Enjoy.…

Royal news BEHIND PALACE WALLS Prince William and Prince Harry set their years-long feud aside to honour their grandmother the Queen last month, but sources say the ceasefire is now very much over. A new book has laid bare the shocking reason Prince Harry, 38, ignored his brother’s text messages in reconciliation efforts - catapulting their hostilities back into headlines. Sources tell Woman’s Day Harry is said to be “furious” that a text conversation with his brother has made its way into the public domain via respected royal journalist Valentine Low. In Valentine’s new book Courtiers, he reveals that Harry cruelly snubbed an offer from William to meet up and discuss their differences after the Sussexes confirmed during their tour to South Africa that there were indeed direct tensions with…
Long before Meghan came along, Harry was already obsessed about how his life would turn out - and was intimidated by the arrival of his babu nephew. According to The Times newspaper, Harry feared that he would become “irrelevant” once Prince George turned 18. “He had the idea that he had a shelf life,” says the newspaper’s source. “He was fixated on it. He would compare himself with his uncle [Prince Andrew], He’d say, ‘I have this time to make an impact… then I will be the also-ran.’ He was thinking of it as, ‘I have this platform now, for a limited amount of time.

But Harry and Meghan, never a pair to take anything from King Charles without a fight, hit back with two new images of their own just days later. Taken in Manchester before the Queen’s death by the couple’s favourite photographer Misan Harriman, one image shows a smiling Harry standing behind a staunch Meghan, their fingers interlocked. Sources insist the timing of the images’ release was without a doubt “by design”, and that Meghan loves nothing more than to prove to her father-in-law King Charles she can do anything he can.…
If King Charles needs any repairs done at his Highgrove estate, he’ll have to go through his landlord - son William - first. In becoming the Prince of Wales, Wills has inherited the Duchy of Cornwall, making him Britain’s richest landowner and brings Highgrove under his control. This means his dad, 73, now pays him around $1.2 million per year in rent. “Wills teases his dad about it and says, ‘Make sure you don’t go hanging any picture frames without my permission!’” a source tells Woman’s Day.…
