NOBODY does pomp and ceremony quite like the British royals. The coronation was a spectacle like no other and at times some if it felt surreal. I wonder what went through the minds of Charles and Camilla as they took part in ancient rituals and traditions that were created in a very different time. Did William and Kate consider their futures as they saw the crowns placed upon the king and queen’s heads? Did Prince George truly understand what was happening? Did Harry feel relief or regret as he watched it all unfold? Although steeped in centuries-old tradition, Charles’ coronation ceremony reflected a bit of the modernity his reign is likely to embrace. His guest list, sustainable materials used in the ceremony, his slimmed down list of working royals –…

I’M WORRIED I’LL DISAPPOINT MY PARENTS Q I completed my BCom degree last year and originally wanted to become a chartered accountant. My parents supported me from the very beginning of my studies and were so excited I was going to have a career in accounting. They paid for my studies and accommodation while I was at university. However, I didn’t enrol for honours this year because after some thought and after doing the initial degree, I realise I do not enjoy this line of work at all. The problem is I am hesitant to tell my parents that I am now considering another career because they made a lot of sacrifices in order to send me to university. I also don’t know what it is I want to do…

YOUR MONEY SORTED Send suggestions for topics and requests for info to yourmoney@you.co.za. We may answer your questions in this column but won’t reply personally. YOUNG working people often own expensive cellphones, laptops and cars, but for many, short-term insurance for these things doesn’t feel like money well spent – until the day they need to make a claim and are grateful they are in fact covered. Here are seven things to keep in mind when you’re taking out insurance or making a claim. 1 PROVIDE ACCURATE INFO The Ombudsman for Short-Term Insurance regularly receives complaints where young policyholders misrepresent who the regular driver of their vehicle is. The regular driver is the person who usually drives the vehicle. Drivers between the ages of 18 and 25 sometimes tell…

IT’S been described as looking like detergent and tasting like cough syrup, but millions of people don’t care what the critics say. All they want is to get their hands on the drink everyone’s talking about – and if they have to dig deep in their pockets, then so be it. When Prime first landed in South Africa, a handful of retailers and private sellers were flogging it at prices not seen since the hard lockdown of 2020: between R480 and R700 for a 500ml bottle, followed by a burgeoning second-hand market for empty bottles at R100 each. Reports surfaced of schoolkids charging each other R50 for a sip. So when Checkers recently announced they’d be selling the drink for R40 a bottle, queues of people snaked around the block…

HE SEEMED to have the world on a platter – a beautiful family, fame, a job he loved. International awards came his way, he opened cutting-edge restaurants and he was beloved on MasterChef Australia as the frank but fair judge with the worry beads and the thick Scottish brogue. Yet for all the accolades and achievements, what Jock Zonfrillo (46) longed for was a small house in the middle of nowhere with his kids and pets. “Just a simple, uncomplicated life away from everyone,” he said in what would be his final interview. “Not the flashy extravagant lifestyle you’d expect from a TV person.” And it seemed he was going some way towards achieving it, spending time away from the cameras and the kitchen in Rome, Italy, with his second…

Have YOU Heard WITH great success often comes great sacrifice and this seems to be ringing true for actor KEVIN COSTNER (68), who found himself blindsided when his wife of 19 years, CHRISTINE BAUMGARTNER (49), filed for divorce. “It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action,” the actor’s publicist confirmed in a statement to People. If insiders are to be believed, the writing has been on the wall for a while. Kevin has been a firm favourite on the hit show Yellowstone as patriarch John Dutton since it started in 2018. Filming on location in Montana, however, has meant that he’s been away from Christine and their three children, Cayden (15),…

DIANA ROSS (79) AND TRACEE ELLIS ROSS (50) Tracee once revealed how terrified she was to have her legendary mom listen to the music she recorded for her 2020 movie The High Note. “When I first recorded my songs, I played them for my mom in her car,” Tracee recalled. “She was crying and she grabbed my hand, and it was amazing.” JADA PINKETT SMITH (51) AND WILLOW SMITH (22) Jada had a sobering moment when a nine-year-old Willow told her, “I don’t really know you.” Jada says she realised that as much as her role as a mother to a daughter was important, so was being open and honest about who she was as a person. “I think from that time on it was a journey towards being able…

SMALL MERCIES By DENNIS LEHANE Hachette Lehane writes dark reads that translate perfectly to the big screen – think Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone and Shutter Island – and his latest is also set to be adapted into an Apple TV+series. Set in his hometown of Boston, it takes place in the early 1970s in an impoverished Irish community angry at the planned desegregation of schools. Amid the rapidly rising racial tension, Jules, the teen daughter of tough single mother Mary Pat Fennessy, goes missing on the same day that a young black man, Augustus Williamson, is killed. Mary Pat’s search for Jules draws the attention of the Irish Mob who set the rules for the community and see her as a threat. The narration is shared between Mary Pat…

YOUNG YOU WE TALK ABOUT BRITISH astronaut John McFall could become the first differently abled astronaut to blast off into space. John lost his right leg in a motorcycle accident in 2000. He recently completed a simulated zero-gravity flight where he experienced weightlessness for the first time. John, an avid athlete, was 19 when his leg was amputated below the knee. After being fitted with prosthetics, he became a paraathlete and won a bronze medal at the 2008 Paralympic Games in Beijing, China. He went on to become a doctor, but had always wanted to be a space cadet. The 41-year-old from Frimley in Surrey, England was recently selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) to join its training programme. He first had to undergo a series of gruelling tests…

HER hair is dyed platinum and set in a perfect curled coiffe, her left cheek has a single beauty spot, her lips are a glossy red and she speaks in a breathy, high-pitched voice. It’s Marilyn Monroe all the way – and there’s more. Jasmine Chiswell dresses only in 1950s outfits and even lives in a house once owned by the screen icon she idolises. She believes Marilyn represents “a moment in time” and it’s a moment she wants to live in forever. “I’ve always loved Marilyn,” Jasmine says. “She has amazing style and confidence and it’s something I really look up to.” She loves Marilyn and the era she lived in so much that she’s making her living out of it and gathering hordes of fans along the way.…

SHE was on top of the world, crowned the most beautiful woman on the planet and poised to start her career as an actress. Promise, potential and opportunity in abundance suggested great success ahead – until disaster struck. A botched nose job changed the flawless looks that had helped Priyanka Chopra win the Miss World title and threatened to ruin her glittering future. It was so bad she was dubbed “Plastic Chopra” and she feared her career was over. But of course, the story does have a fairy-tale ending. First, she conquered Bollywood, then Hollywood and now she has her finger in many a business pie too. In fact, the 40-year-old recently reached several career highs. The salary she’s being paid for playing a former spy in the Amazon Prime…

1 JAMIE FOXXBREAKS SILENCE Three weeks after he was hospitalised with a medical emergency, JAMIE FOXX (55) took to social media to thank fans for their support. “Appreciate all the love!!!” he wrote on his Instagram feed. “Feeling blessed.” He also thanked his friend, Nick Cannon, for taking over hosting on his game show, Beat Shazam. Jamie experienced a “medical complication” while filming his new Netflix movie in Atlanta. 2 SO SOON, TAYLOR?
