Posting a montage of summer images to Kensington Palace’s official Instagram last week, the Princess of Wales is celebrating the value of Mother Nature, writing, “Our lives flourish when we cherish the bonds of love and friendship. It has never been more important to appreciate the value of one another, and of Mother Nature. Here’s to Summer.” STEPPING BACK According to Woman’s Day’s insider, Catherine, 43, has told her husband the Prince of Wales, 43, that she sees this season as her “summer of strength”– a chance to focus on her own healing, family time in Norfolk, and only attend a handful of select high-profile royal engagements. “Behind closed doors, she’s still struggling emotionally and tires a lot more easily, it’s taking longer to readjust to royal life after her…

How did you come up with the concept for You & Me And The Peanut Butter Beast? Over the years many readers have requested a story that a) features them as a character and b) takes place underground. I thought it would be funny to have you (the reader) and me (the author) discover a very deep hole in the forest. In an attempt to discover just how deep it is, they jump into it and fall for so long that they have time to have a peanut butter sandwich picnic on their way down. Then, when they hit the bottom, covered in peanut butter, I figured the worst possible thing that could happen next would be to encounter a terrifying peanut butter beast that goes into a peanut butter…

It’s hard to imagine Home And Away without Irene Roberts, the fiery redhead who’s kept the residents of Summer Bay on their toes, and audiences entertained, for more than three decades.

With her children finally grown up and flown the nest, and her husband on unofficial retirement from acting, Catherine Zeta-Jones has spent the year reigniting her career, filming in Romania, France, Spain and Ireland. And as she continues to dazzle on a press tour for upcoming release Wednesday, those in the Welsh beauty’s inner circle say that as her 25 wedding anniversary looms, the actress, 55, is struggling with how to balance her re-emerging career and the needs of her newly retired husband Michael Douglas. According to sources, Catherine had hoped that Michael’s decision to step back from acting in 2022 would free her up to do more work, especially with their children Carys, 22, and Dylan, 25, moving out and on. But instead, it’s had the reverse effect –…
