Woman’s Day is Australia’s number one-selling weekly women’s magazine, offering all the latest celebrity gossip and exclusive interviews as well as fascinating real-life reads, mouth-watering recipes, beauty, fashion, food, health and family advice.
As I was reading through the following pages, it struck me that there are countless stories of special family bonds in this week’s issue. Ellidy Pullin, the brave widow of late Olympic snowboarder Alex “Chumpy” Pullin, shares how family helped her overcome grief and welcome her adorable daughter Minnie into the world (p36). Much-loved TV chef Manu tells of his emotional reunion with his estranged dad (p28), and our Aussie golden girl Nicole Kidman was joined by her adoring family (including her very grown-up daughters – how did that happen so fast?) as she was awarded the highest honour in Hollywood. Here’s to families of all kinds. Erin Holohan, Editorial Director…

The decision, it seems, has been made for him. Woman’s Day has been told the Prince of Wales has issued his estranged brother, who is visiting the UK to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, a warning to stay away from Kate, 42, and their three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Prince Louis. It comes after William, 41, has been under immense strain over the past few months, balancing caring for his wife and children while also stepping in as his father King Charles has been undergoing treatment following his own cancer diagnosis.

King Charles made a glorious return to public duties last week, releasing a new portrait with the Queen by his side to mark the occasion. The 75-year-old monarch has plenty to celebrate following encouraging news from his doctors. While not yet in remission, a palace spokesperson says, “His Majesty’s medical team are very encouraged by the progress made so far.

The ladies of Farmer Wants A Wife are lifting the lid on what goes on off-camera. “There is quite a lot of work,” shares one of Farmer Bert’s ladies, Karli. “Outfit approvals with wardrobe, hair, makeup and plenty of retakes, including wide angles and repeats of particular snippets for different scenes!” There are also plenty of chances to chill out, though. “We aren’t really allowed to do any jobs around the farm due to health and safety regulations, so when there is downtime on the farm, Bert is busy working, so I often go for a run, do some cooking, cleaning or just relax by the pool,” the 32-year-old tells Woman’s Day.
