The article on Prince William’s grief for his mom (YOU, 15 September) was so poignant. I also think Prince William realises that, not long from now, he’ll be facing enormous challenges as the survival of the monarchy will rest on his head. I remember 6 February 1952 when Mr Miller, my Standard 5 teacher at Addington School on Durban’s beach-front, came into the classroom with tears in his eyes and announced, “The King is dead. School will close early today.” The boys in my class shouted, “Yay!” I was indignant. My 1952 coronation mug has survived all these years and I believe that the British monarchy will survive – but under William, not Charles. BARBARA MAUDE STONE, DURBAN Prince William has achieved so much and Kate and their two children…

5 May 2005 Brad and Angelina appeared on the cover of YOU for the first time as a couple. Finally we had proof of a romance between them. 26 January 2006 Fans were overjoyed when Brad and Angie were expecting their first biological child. When little Shiloh appeared, she didn’t disappoint. 13 April 2006 Brangelina with Maddox and Zahara after we heard they would have Shiloh in Namibia. Right on our doorstep! Our cup ran over! 27 May 2006 Welcome to the world, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt!

Often the first thing people check is the cost of medical insurance, says Jill Larkan, head of healthcare consulting at the financial accounting services group, GTC. But there are other factors to take into account when deciding on a fund. For example, is the fund dependable and stable? Does it provide the basic cover you need? Before you choose a medical aid fund identify a few and call them. Ask for information on their benefits, the payments you’ll have to make and the things they don’t cover, says Dr Elsabé Conradie, spokesperson for the Council for Medical Schemes. Your medical needs change over the years and there are always new, more attractive products available so you don’t have to stick to the same fund forever. “At any time of the…

YOU photographer Megan Miller (34) was diagnosed with IIH in May this year, after seven years of seeking treatment for her daily migraines and nausea. In 2012 Megan had an operation at the Headache Clinic in Johannesburg (YOU, 27 December 2012) where maxillofacial surgeon Dr Elliot Shevel performed surgery to block the pain by cauterising or cutting surface blood vessels in the scalp. After the op Megan’s migraines disappeared, although she still had mild headaches. But five months later the migraines were back. This time, doctors thought they were being caused by pregnancy hormones. After the birth of her son, Alex (now 3), Megan’s headaches got steadily worse. “I could feel something was different this time,” she says. “There was pressure, my eyes were sore and sensitive and I heard…

TOUCH OF COLOUR THULI MACHOBANE (28) Media analyst and blogger “I’ve been natural for 11 years now and I also blog about it. My hair is who I am. I usually wear it twisted out and big. I added colour at the ends as a signature to my look.” CARE FOR THIS STYLE To maintain the curliness use a satin pillowcase as it won’t suck the moisture out of your hair and ruin your curls as a result. You could add a bit of depth to your curly hair with hints of colour. CROPPED KEELY SHINNERS (20) Writer from New York “I’ve had a lot of personal growth recently, and what better way to show that than to cut your hair and start afresh? This look makes me feel fresh…

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest – AMERICAN STATESMAN BENJAMIN FRANKLIN HOW IT WORKS Student loans are granted for tertiary study at institutions such as universities and colleges accredited by the South African Qualifications Authority. Unlike with other loans, a sponsor can apply for a student loan on behalf of a prospective student. The sponsor doesn’t have to be a parent or guardian but is responsible for paying the interest and service fees on the loan while you’re studying. You have to pay back the rest once you’ve finished studying. The loan amount students qualify for is reviewed and granted annually, Phil Penlington of FNB explains. UNDERSTAND THE INTEREST Student loans range from R4 000 to R80 000 a year. The interest rates are usually lower than those…

The talented Danish singer-songwriter is a musical force to be reckoned with. She’s been burning up the charts with her singles Kamikaze and Final Song, as well as collabs with the likes of Major Lazer (Cold Water) and Iggy Azalea (Beg For It). 1 The 28-year-old singer’s real name is Karen Marie Ørsted. Her stage name is an acronym for her middle and last name. The word “mø” also means “virgin” or “maiden” in Danish. 2 She’s the only musician in her family. Her dad, Frans, is a psychologist and her mom, Mette, is a teacher. Her older brother, Kaspar, is a doctor. 3 She was into punk and anti-fascist movements as a teen. Among her biggest musical icons are American alternative rockers Sonic Youth. “When I…

What inspired your latest track, Time? I was visiting Durban for the second time and it was such an experience. Sketchy Bongo and I finished five great tracks and I got to work with Hendrik Joerges (the guy behind the chart-topper Only Miss You When It Rains), as well as Deemo and Kyle Deutsch. Time went by so fast – I was so sad when I had to go home after I’d clicked with all these amazing producers and friends. Time was the song we did before I had to leave for the airport. It’s about friendship in a way. The music video also represents that concept. How did Please Try, your collaboration with Aewon Wolf, come about? And what was it like working with him? Please Try was the…

‘I know people think I did it, that my parents did it’ A PRETTY little girl, an unspeakable tragedy, an unsolved crime: JonBenét Ramsey was to the ’90s what Madeleine McCann became to the 2000s. But with one crucial difference – where three-year-old Madeleine was cruelly snatched while on holiday, her disappearance an abiding mystery, six-year-old JonBenét’s body lay front and centre of the police case. Twenty years and countless theories later, her killer remains at large. Now the case that fascinated the world has been thrust into the spotlight again. Burke Ramsey, Jon Benét’s older brother, has broken his two-decade silence in an interview on the Dr Phil TV show. But instead of shedding light on the killing, his bizarre performance has raised eyebrows – and even more questions.…

HIGH FLIER Actress NOMZAMO MBATHA has been clocking up the air miles - this year alone she’s visited Los Angeles and New York in the US, Italy, Canada and France, and she’s loved every minute of her adventures. While most of her travels were to promote her new movie, Tell Me Sweet Something (which won an award for Best Narrative Feature at the BlackStar Film Festival in Philadelphia in August), she also got to do a bit of sightseeing. We caught up with the globetrotter to get the inside scoop. You favourite memory In Rome watching my film in the company of Romans and hearing how much they loved it.

 POOR PIPPA MIDDLETON (33). Just when things seemed to be going swimmingly in her life – an engagement, a new cookbook – she finds herself in the middle of a major security scandal. ‘I’d be lying if I said it fame didn’t affect me – PIPPA MIDDLETON The sister of the Duchess of Cambridge had her iCloud account hacked by a man identified as website designer NATHAN WYATT. Scotland Yard busted Wyatt after he offered to sell 3 000 of the stolen photos to British newspaper The Sun for £50 000 (about R900 000). The paper declined and turned him in. The images apparently include intimate photos of Pippa, nude images of her millionaire fiancé, James Matthews (41), photos of her sister Kate, brother-in-law Prince William and their kids, Princess…

BETRAYED! I was shocked and appalled when a “friend” told me she’d put my name, photograph, address, phone numbers and other personal details in the Desperately Seeking column of our local newspaper. Long story short, the entry said I was “desperately looking for a partner”. I happened to be engaged at the time. Like Margaret van Wyk (YOU, 8 September) I live in a small community where everybody knows one another. I was inundated with calls, letters and potential suitors arriving at my home. Imagine the embarrassment and violation of my privacy, not to mention the danger I was exposed to. I refused to leave the house because people were having a field day at my expense. To add insult to injury my fiancé didn’t believe I was innocent and…

To Silence Sithole (YOU Say, 22 September), you were privileged to have been raised cartoon-free. It may have been because your parents couldn’t afford a TV, but you missed nothing! I hope in your job as a nanny you’ll take the children to play outside and use cartoons only as a last resort. My teenager has moved on from mindless cartoons to mindless American sitcoms. SUSAN, CAPE TOWN Such a pity that celebs are more outraged by the schoolgirl hair fiasco (YOU, 15 September) than the rape of young girls and the appalling number of pregnancies among schoolgirls. WAKE UP, SMS Just received my first online purchase. Oh, the joy! Easier than I thought and beats busy malls at the end of the month. Why has it taken me so…

She looks like one of the celebrities she famously represents, gives new meaning to the term power dressing and won’t take you on as a client if you’re worth less than $10 million (R135 million). Meet LAURA WASSER (left), one of the most formidable divorce lawyers in the US and the elegant bulldog who’ll be fighting for Team Angelina. The 48-year-old legal eagle has represented Angie before – when she divorced Billy Bob Thornton – and has also been hired by Johnny Depp (when he split from Amber Heard), Denise Richards (Charlie Sheen), Nick Lachey (Jessica Simpson), Stevie Wonder (twice) and “at least three Kardashians”, according to business news site Bloomberg. She charges $850 (R11 475) an hour, demands a retainer of $25 000 (R338 000) and has turned family…

SHE’S a well-known face who often appears in magazines or beams into our homes via our TV screens. He’s much more of a behind-the-scenes kind of guy, happy to let his wife take centre stage. But now Basetsana Kumalo will have to step out of the limelight and give her husband a chance to shine. He’s going to be in front of the cameras doing what he does best: making shrewd business decisions. And those involved in a new reality show will be hoping this will result in burgeoning bank balances for them. Romeo Kumalo (44) is one of five businesspeople who’ll appear in the reality show Shark Tank South Africa. From this month M-Net viewers will see him in action, battling against other titans and captains of industry. Based…

One in every 100 000 people worldwide lives with this disease. Symptoms include headaches, ringing in the ears, pain in the neck, back or shoulders, nausea and vomiting, dizziness and sensitivity to light. Less common symptoms are numbness in the extremities, generalised weakness and loss of the sense of smell and coordination. People who are overweight or obese are more susceptible. The condition occurs more often in women and the average age at which it strikes is 30. Weight loss can help but it’s no guarantee of a cure. In 95 percent of cases a gastric bypass operation results in symptoms clearing up. Pressure in the skull can cause the optic nerves behind the retina to swell, which can result in blindness if the condition isn’t controlled with medication or…

VASES PLANTERS TIPS FOR FLOWERS, PLANTS AND SUCCULENTS Add a teaspoon of sugar to water for food and as steriliser to keep fresh-cut flowers looking fresh for longer. Don’t put a vase in a draughty area – it will shorten the lifespan of the flowers. Find a spot with the right light for your indoor plants. Some plants need more light than others. Water is essential but most houseplants die from overwatering. Make sure you read the tag for special watering needs. Water succulents only in their active growing season. Winter rainfall succulents must be kept completely dry during summer and vice versa. During the growing season give succulents a good watering once in a while but let them dry out in-between watering. – CONSTANCE STUURMAN, GARDENER AT BABYLONSTOREN, SIMONDIUM…

‘Life is 10 percent what you make it, and 90 percent how you take it’– AMERICAN COMPOSER AND LYRICIST IRVING BERLIN HE’S LOST THAT LOVING FEELING Q My husband and I met five years ago and we’ve been married for three years. It’s a second marriage for both of us. When we met he was still going through a tough time from the end of his first marriage, which lasted for 18 years. But we had some great times and our sex-life was great. He earned a good salary and so did I. Then he was retrenched and was without work for about a year shortly after we wed. The problem is our sex-life has come to a halt. He says he just doesn’t have that feeling anymore. He constantly…

SIGN-IDE A farmer who grows watermelons is upset when he realises the local kids are sneaking into his watermelon patch at night to eat the fruit. After some careful thought he comes up with an idea that he hopes will scare them away. He makes a sign and puts it up in the watermelon patch. It reads, “Warning! One of the watermelons in this field has been injected with cyanide!” That night the trespassing kids see the sign and decide to get their own back. The next morning the farmer spots a new sign next to his that reads, “Now there are two!” PERILOUS PASTOR A pastor is driving on a country road late one night when he has a blowout and crashes his car into a ditch.

‘Will I ever get a guy? Do you think anyone could love this face?' ‘SHE’S very talented, but God, she’s so ugly. What are we going to do with her?” It was the early ’60s and the person on the receiving end of this scathing criticism was a young Barbra Streisand. She’d just auditioned for a show in New York but although she’d delivered an incredible performance the theatre owner was more focused on her looks. It wasn’t the first time. She’d been hearing them for months as she faced one rejection after the next. “I cried in every office,” she recalls. “I was humiliated – people looked at me like I was crazy.” Back then she had her heart set on acting. “I hated singing,” she says. “I wanted…

Remember praise rather than criticism This is something narcissists do a lot. Choose to remember compliments and positive statements rather than the critical voices of others or the ones in your own head. Write down the compliments you get, along with your achievements, to read when your confidence takes a knock. Remember, if you think you’re smart and hot – within reason – so will other people. Visualise success Psychologist John Mc-Dermott, the founder of Psychology2Perform.com, says you can reduce your anxiety at work by visualising a successful presentation or interview beforehand and using positive affirmations to boost your confidence. Research shows even standing in a “power position” – such as tall, legs slightly apart, hands on your hips, superhero-style – floods your system with testosterone, making you feel powerful…

DESPITE the highly successful career he’s made out of making people laugh JIM CARREY’s life continues to be dogged by personal tragedy. The Hollywood funnyman is facing a wrongful death suit filed against him by the estranged husband of his late girlfriend, CATHRIONA WHITE. MARK BURTON claims the actor illegally provided the Irish make-up artist with prescription drugs and tried to cover it up, and that these drugs ultimately led to her overdosing last year. He also claims Jim (54) passed on three sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) to Cat (30) and when she confronted him about it in 2013, he dumped her via text message. The stylist committed suicide late last year with a concoction of pills Burton claims Jim got for her under a false name. He’s submitted as…

Fifty Shades Of Grey star JAMIE DORNAN (34) says his wife, actress Amelia Warner, still hasn’t seen the film in which he spends most of his time in X-rated sex scenes. “She hasn’t watched it. Why would she?” the hunky star revealed on a British talk show recently. As to whether fans can expect full-frontal nudity from his character, sexy millionaire Christian Grey, in the eagerly awaited sequel, Fifty Shades Darker, he quipped, “I don’t know, I don’t even know where the cameras were, I don’t bother myself with that.” Can we take that as a “yes” then? LINDSAY LOHAN (30) claims her relationship with her ex fiancé, Egor Tarabasov, was so toxic she “was terrified he’d throw acid in my face” during their now infamous fight at her London…

LOSING MY SON WHEN I found my beautiful 35-year-old son Warren dead in his apartment in early July the world that I knew changed forever. During the week of preparing for his funeral I was in a trance. I couldn’t get warm no matter how hard I tried. The birth of a child is a life-changing experience filled with so much purpose and joy. And when you lose that child it takes you down a chasm of pain so deep it can’t be described. Although he’d been given a kidney six weeks earlier by his best friend and ex-girlfriend – whom I can’t thank enough – sadly he passed away from diabetes-related complications. More and more young people are getting this terrible disease. It’s our responsibility to bring more awareness…

THE noise in your head never lets up. Sometimes it’s like a roaring river, other times it’s like your heartbeat, only amplified. For days at a time you’re so exhausted and light-headed all you can do is lie down. Worst of all are the headaches that make your skull feel as if it’s about to split. You’re convinced you have a brain tumour – and that it’s killing you. This is the daily reality for Martin Lintott of Johannesburg. The 37-year-old has endured hellish pain over the past few years. And he’s spent hundreds of thousands of rands, depleted his medical aid funds and been given a bewildering array of diagnoses in his quest to find out what’s wrong with him. At first doctors thought he had a diabetes-related infection,…

SHE’S known for playing free-spirited, independent women in romantic comedies, but Kate Hudson takes on a more dramatic role in her latest movie, Deep-water Horizon. The action drama is based on the true story of the 2010 BP oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico that was so huge it could be seen from space. It left 11 men dead and ranks as one of the biggest oil spills in history. Kate plays the wife of an oil-rig engineer (Mark Wahlberg) and the movie marks the first time she’s worked with her stepdad, Kurt Russell, whom she affectionately calls “Pa”. The 37-year-old actress has two sons – Ryder (12) from her seven-year marriage to Black Crowes lead singer Chris Robinson, and Bingham (4) from her relationship with Muse frontman…

Capital: Canberra Language: English Monetary unit: Australian dollar Population: about 24 million OUR national teams often meet Aussies on the rugby and cricket fields, but how well do you know the history, tourist attractions and natural beauty of their home country, Australia? Let’s find out more. The name comes from the Latin word australis, which means “southerly”. In early documents people used “terra australis incognita” (“unknown southern country”) when referring to Australia. It’s also a continent – the smallest of our seven and the only one that consists of just one country – but it’s certainly not a small one, being the sixth-largest country in the world. HISTORY The first people in Australia were the forefathers of the Australian Aborigines who settled there more than 50 000 years ago. Europeans…
