LONG before Brad and Angelina came along, they were the most scrutinised couple in the world. He was the future king of England who’d betrayed his vulnerable young wife and she, his mistress, a woman who’d brought shame upon a nation. Their relationship was one of the most scandalous to hit the English monarchy and now for the first time Camilla’s side of the story is being told. Diana explosively revealed her version of events and later Charles did too. But now we’re seeing how the “other woman”, the person Charles has always loved, experienced that tumultuous time. Many of Diana’s fans will never forgive Camilla for breaking up the royal marriage but there are many who say it’s time to move on. Read an extract from a new book…

I feel fortunate to be employed at the age of 58 but, after being in the same industry for more than 30 years, I’m without benefits. I’ll work until the day I die. The company I work for realises this and while I’m considered a “key employee” they’ve refused me annual increments. At my age it’s difficult, if not downright impossible, to get alternative employment. This is despite the fact that I don’t take unnecessary time off, am loyal and hard-working, and I’m willing to learn any new skills. These days older women are excluded from the work market when their skills, loyalty and experience could benefit a company. No maternity leave required and no days off because the babysitter didn’t arrive! How I wish I could find employment in…

She was branded a whore, a marriage wrecker. The harassment intensified AN EXPLOSIVE new biography of Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, has lifted the lid on her affair with Prince Charles. The book by royal biographer Penny Junor reveals how the prince was driven to the verge of a nervous breakdown as his marriage disintegrated and how he turned to Camilla for solace and companionship. When news of their affair broke, Camilla became the most hated woman in Britain. In these edited extracts, Junor reveals Princess Diana’s obsession with her husband’s mistress, the fallout as the marriage broke down, and how Camilla nearly didn’t make it to her own wedding to Charles because she was so terrified. THE OTHER WOMAN  IN JULY 1991 Charles and Diana celebrated 10 years of marriage,…

SUPER-SIMPLE BRAAIED FILLET Fillet is the most tender cut. It’s lean, tastes buttery and is mild in flavour. The cut is best cooked at high heat and left pink in the middle.

NO MATTER how fantastic a lipstick looks on you, the last thing you want is for it to dry your lips. So when you go shopping for beauty products, keep in mind that lipsticks that add shine aren’t necessarily hydrating, and lipsticks that lend moisture don’t necessarily add gloss. Hydrating lipsticks often emphasise moisture or hydration on their packaging while ones that don’t moisturise make claims about how long they last. Be cautious about buying lipsticks or glosses that are long-lasting – they look fabulous to start with but often dehydrate your lips instead of nourishing them But if you have your heart set on a long-lasting lipstick, a clever trick is to use petroleum jelly as a base before applying the lip colour. This locks in moisture and easily…

‘A day without laughter is a day wasted’– FRENCH WRITER NICOLAS CHAMFORT MY HUBBY IS TOO TRADITIONAL Q I was recently appointed as CEO of a company. My husband and I are graduates but he’s not doing as well as I am career-wise. We both grew up in a rural village with parents who struggled financially, but were able to study and now live a westernised life. Our parents still have the old beliefs of their African culture – including that men should be dominant and wives should listen to their husbands. I thought my hubby and I shared a different view, but I was wrong. It’s as if I don’t know him anymore. He told me my salary should be paid into his account and that I must still…

LISTEN TO THIS! WITNESS KATY PERRY R149* We had high hopes for Katy’s fifth album after we heard the catchy first single, Chained To The Rhythm, and the sassy house-fuelled dance tune Swish Swish – rumoured to be a Taylor Swift diss track. Well, the reviews are in and it’s mostly mixed.Katy’sneverbeenafraidtoexperiment, and on this album she leans towards electronic pop – which means you’re either going to love it or hate it. But this hasn’t stopped her fans from buying it – Witness debuted at No 1 on the US Billboard 200 album chart. There are a few good tracks, but the album as a whole is all over the place. After a few listens you’ll want to press skip. NEW ON THE BIG SCREEN / DESPICABLE ME 3…

‘A glazed doughnut,’ she sighs. ‘I haven’t had a doughnut in a while. I do love them’ THE Williams sisters were excited when their father proposed the family watch Cinderella on television. “It was unusual,” Venus says, “because we weren’t allowed to watch TV; we could only watch educational programmes. Then afterwards Dad said, ‘What was the most important thing that happened?’ Oh no! There was a catch? It’s like, ‘What’s the right answer?’ Because you’re a kid and you want to make your parents happy.” So what was the right answer? Venus chuckles. “Well, the most important thing was that Cinderella said to Fairy Godmother, ‘Thank you so much. This is more than I could have ever asked for’.” So not the beautiful gowns or triumph over the ugly…

STORY OF MY LIFE, DOLL! The Moët flowed and the man of the moment sparkled. He may have been a little anxious but SOMIZI MHLONGO certainly didn’t let it show at the recent launch of his memoir at Exclusive Books Social Kitchen & Bar in Hyde Park, Johannesburg. “I’ve hosted big shows and choreographed huge conferences but I’ve never been this nervous because this is a bookstore and I’m a school dropout!” he said. “What am I doing here?” But the 44-year-old choreographer’s autobiography, Dominoes: Unbreakable Spirit, explains just how he got to the top – as well as adding the accolade of author to his already impressive list of achievements, which include TV and radio presenter, Idols judge and reality TV star. Why Dominoes? Because the walls that looked…

It looks as if TERI HATCHER had a great time on a recent visit to Australia. The former Desperate Housewives star took to Instagram to document her adventures on Rottnest Island, off the coast of Western Australia. This included lying on a pristine beach in a bikini and having lots of fun with a quokka, a local marsupial. Fans complimented the 52-year-old on her youthful looks. They also gushed over her reunion with her former Lois And Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman co-star DEAN CAIN (50), who also attended the Supernova Comic Con and Gaming Expo in Sydney. The two climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, posing for a cute snap at the top.…

THEY were last seen together in May but MEGHAN MARKLE (35) and PRINCE HARRY (32) are still keeping their trans-Atlantic relationship alive. The Suits actress was recently spotted flying from Toronto, Canada, where she’s based for production of her hit TV show, to London to meet up with her beau. Sources say since she arrived at Kensington Palace the two, who’ve been dating for a year, have been homebodies – largely to avoid the paparazzi. Yet it’s precisely this air of mystery that’s led to a British TV network producing a programme about the brunette beauty. Previously unknown details about Meghan’s family and private life are set to be revealed in the Channel 4 series Meet The Markles. Set for release later this year, it will include interviews with pals…

IN DEFENCE OF AMOR Give Amor a break (YOU Say, 29 June)! She married Joost in good faith and was obviously very in love with him. He showed no consideration for his marriage vows. She deserves financial support as well as emotional support! NATALIE COMNINOS, WELLINGTON IN DEFENCE OF DIANA In response to J Kriel’s SMS (YOU Say, 29 June), I think you have it totally wrong when you say Diana would have been the mother-in-law from hell. Diana loved her children openly so it’s obvious she would have adored Charlotte and George even more. She would have been in her fifties and wouldn’t have needed to upstage anybody. You can never predict what might have been – particularly if you didn’t personally know the person – but I think…

I’ve been knitting since 1942 and love the YOU Knitting magazine. It has a bright, breezy and interesting feel and I’ve found several patterns I hope to make. It’s very well put together. Congratulations. NINKI MALLET, SMS Who really cares about Hlaudi Motsoeneng (YOU, 29 June)? I can’t think of a decent word to describe this extremely unpleasant character. ANNE, KOKSTAD Tired of odd lengths of ribbon cluttering my sewing box, I wound them around the cardboard insert from roller towels. Problem solved. MARGARET, KUILS RIVER To Jacqui (YOU Say, 22 June), I confronted my hubby about sexting. Needless to say I had the last laugh. He’s begging for another chance, which I’m not giving him because when he was enjoying texting he never thought about getting caught. MELLISSA, SMS…

OUBAAS leaving 7de Laan? Ag, nee! That sounds like a problem of epidemic proportions, as the beloved character would say in his own inimitable way. The recent news that the SABC2 soapie wouldn’t be renewing its contract with Pierre van Pletzen, who plays Septimus van Zyl aka Oubaas, had many a staunch 7de Laan fan choking on their morning coffee. This iconic character has been there since the beginning in 2000 and has appeared in more than 4 000 episodes. But today the 65-year-old is as far from the laidback character he plays as it gets. In fact, he’s furious – and scathing about the soapie’s production team. They’ve been steadily working him out of the show for the past three years, he claims. The reason? He firmly believes they…

Based on this performance there’s the view that SA will be able to rout the Argentinians and Aussies (who are at an all-time low) relatively easily at the Rugby Championship in August and September. But the All Blacks will be the Boks’ real test. “The pace of play and therefore also the decision-making will have to be much quicker,” Gary Boshoff says. Naas Botha still believes South Africa can again become a dominant force in world rugby. And a Bok victory over the All Blacks might not be a pipe dream, Nkumane believes. “We look forward to the home Test at Newlands [in Cape Town] later this year,” Botha says. “I think these guys can really push [the All Blacks] all the way and have a relatively good chance of…

Are you sure though?” Customer (after a pause): “Oh, never mind, I opened the pizza box upside down.” JUST LIKE BIG BROTHER A guy is taking a drive with a friend and is upset when he doesn’t stop at a stop sign. “Hey, you were supposed to stop,” he says. “Well,” his pal says, “I drive like my big brother.” A few blocks later the guy drives through a red light. “You just ignored a red light!” the passenger shouts. “Never mind,” the driver says, “I drive like my big brother.” Then they approach a green light and the driver slows…

READERS who buy A Horse Walks Into A Bar expecting a laugh a minute are in for a nasty surprise. Although the novel contains a lot of jokes, most are so bad they’ll make your toes curl. The story centres on Dovaleh Greenstein, a middle-aged comedian who takes the microphone at a small club in Netanya, Israel, and needles his audience with a routine that becomes progressively more vulgar and offensive. It’s like watching a train crash in slow motion. Even the book’s narrator, Avishai Lazar, a retired judge and Dovaleh’s childhood friend, is appalled. For the life of him he can’t figure out why he’s been invited by the comic to witness the repellent performance. But as the act derails, Dovaleh opens up about a terrible secret that’s haunted…

From rugby star to full-time muso, the 23-year-old Cape Town-based singer-songwriter is definitely one to watch! We asked him about his new EP, Maturation, and background. Tell us more about your new release. Maturation is nothing but a moment of growth in my life I’ve pieced together in music, songwriting content and personal maturity. I wrote the lyrics for my latest two projects between my home (East London in the Eastern Cape) and Cape Town, Western Cape. This EP was recorded in various studios in Cape Town. I wrote the lyrics between my room and the studio, in my car, wherever. What inspired your songwriting? I wanted to be honest, with both the words and the music. Honesty leads to authenticity and an organic feeling – soul music. Your fave…

IN JUST six months a whole new batch of Grade 12s will have matriculated and head out into the world – all set to study for the careers of their dreams. But what should you encourage them to do? The world is moving so fast a degree doesn’t mean as much as it used to – and the countless tertiary graduates sitting at home unemployed can attest to that. In our fast-evolving world, data analysts could soon be in more demand than doctors, and computer programmers could be more popular than policemen. With jobs chopping and changing, evolving and disappearing, we look at some of the occupations your kids should be considering to be relevant and employable. MECHATRONICS ENGINEER WHATISIT? Robot builder. It requires a combination of mechanical and electrical…

DYING TO JUST BE ME WHEN I was a kid in primary school my principal kept asking me, “Why can’t you be more like your mother? She’s so elegant and refined.” For being disruptive in class he made me pick up litter all over the school grounds during lesson time. Growing up in a family of five I was often compared with my sister by my parents. “She’s the youngest but she’s so successful. Why can’t you be like her?” Then when I married my first husband – a divorced father of four – I was constantly being compared with his first wife. Visitors from his home town just couldn’t hold back. My second husband was told he could have done much better as his previous ladylove was a savvy…

The time he rushed into the deli where Hilda works, tulips in hand and babbling in his own version of Dutch in preparation for their holiday to the Netherlands. The time Oubaas, Hilda and Maria in the spirit of entrepreneurship started their own makeshift distillery in the flat, making their version of mampoer. The time he faked an injury to get out of having to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with Hilda. With the help of Maria, the two conjured up a plan to fool Hilda into believing he was wheelchair-bound.

LANDLORDS and tenants are often at odds over things such as deposits and rent increases – and it’s frequently just because the lease contract wasn’t read or understood properly. This week Your Money looks at the myths, facts and questions around renting property. MYTH The rent may not be increased before the end of the lease period. FACT Your rent may be increased but only if it’s stipulated in the contract. It’s common practice to raise the rent after a year, which is when the lease is usually renewed, says Ferdi Verryn of Verryn Matlhare attorneys. Landlords can’t suddenly increase the rent by a huge amount – they can raise it only in terms of what the contract stipulates. MYTH The rent is always raised by 10 percent. FACT The…

It’s often not a choice to stop having sex when we get older, sexologist Dr Elna Rudolph says. “Many people might be struggling with health issues. They need to look after their general health, such as blood pressure, glucose levels, cholesterol, watching their weight and not smoking. It’s also important to look after your sexual health and have your hormone levels checked. “Set aside time for each other,” she advises. “Things don’t happen as easily and spontaneously when you’re older and you have to make a bit of an effort.” The quality of what goes on in the bedroom is closely linked to the quality of the relationship outside the bedroom, sexologist Elmari Mulder Craig says. “It’s important to experience emotional intimacy, safety, stability and connection in your relationship.” Don’t…

THEY were childhood sweethearts so it was only fitting that LIONEL MESSI – often dubbed the world’s best soccer player – and his longterm love, ANTONELLA ROCCUZZO, chose to say their “I do’s” in their hometown of Rosario in Argentina. The couple, who have two sons – THIAGO (4) and Mateo (1) – married in front of 250 friends and relatives, including many of Lionel’s soccer pals such as fellow Argentinian Neymar, as well as former FC Barcelona players Xavi Hernandez, Cesc Fabregas and Carles Puyol. Barcelona teammate Gerard Piqué and his pop-star wife, Shakira, were also there. The only blight on the otherwise happy occasion was the supposed long-running feud between Lionel’s mother, CELIA CUCCITTINI (57), and the bride’s family. Both sides haven’t seen eye to eye for years…

So Sir and Rumi Carter it is! Yup, rapper Jay-Z (47) and singer BEYONCÉ (35) seem to have confirmed their newborn twins’ names after it emerged the couple registered a trademark on the unusual monikers – as they did with daughter Blue Ivy (5) – so no one else could profit from the names. Rumi is apparently a reference to the 13th-century Persian poet Jalaluddin Rumi, of whom Jay-Z is a fan, while Sir might be a reference to one of his favourite rappers, Sir the Baptist. KANYE WEST (40) has quit Tidal, fuelling rumours of a feud between him and fellow rapper Jay-Z, owner of the music-streaming service. “Kanye has complained the company owes him more than $3 million (R39 million),” a source dished.
