I’D JUST knocked off from a long day at work and was settling down on the couch, glass of wine and remote in hand, when the news hit. The Princess of Wales had cancer. She was having preventative chemotherapy. And she was telling us all this herself – not via a social media post or a statement from the palace but in a video message that set a precedent for the royal family. Never before has a member of The Firm been so open and so honest about something so deeply personal. After all the wild rumours of the past two months, Kate was stepping forward to own her crisis and it must have taken a lot of courage. Telling loved ones you have a life-threatening disease is one thing…

SCHOOL and university fees are expensive and the costs go up every year. If your child is young it’s a good idea to starting saving soon to ensure you can afford a quality education. Many parents take out education policies but while these products definitely have some advantages, they don’t benefit everyone. Before you commit to this type of investment you need to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages. Here’s what you need to consider. 1 HOW DO THEY WORK? Education policies are endowments, which are essentially savings plans that tie up your savings for a fixed period. You can elect to pay fixed monthly…

1 HER LATEST ROLE ON OUR RADAR Sydney Sweeney’s latest role is worlds away from her Emmy-nominated turns in the edgy teen drama Euphoria, the comedy-drama The White Lotus, or last year’s hit romcom Anyone but You. In Immaculate, Sydney (26) plays Cecilia, an American nun living in a remote Italian convent who inexplicably falls pregnant by unknown forces. The movie is directed by Michael Mohan, who previously collaborated with the actress on the 2021 erotic thriller The Voyeurs. 5 THINGS ABOUT THE IMMACULATE SYDNEY SWEENEY 1 HER GRANNIES ARE EXTRAS IN THE IMMACULATE “I flew my grandmas out to Italy,” she said on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. “They’d never been to Europe. My gran’s dream was to go to Italy, they’d never left the US before, so…

THE pace was unrelenting. Some nights, he’d be in the emergency unit trying to help someone who’d been shot or stabbed, and another patient would burst in, desperate for treatment. It was a huge effort to keep up with the amount of work, and there was no way to immediately help all the people who flooded in through the hospital doors. “There simply aren’t enough doctors in the system,” Juandré Klopper (27) says. The crisis in the South African public health sector is hardly new – stories have done the rounds for years of patients waiting for hours or even days to be seen, some of them dying in the process. But while some people become hopeless or even cynical in the face of a seemingly insurmountable problem, Juandré was…

BEING roasted on TV isn’t for the faint-hearted. There are no holy cows, nothing is off limits – not your looks, your lifestyle, your job, your love life or even your shattered heart. And Minenhle “Minnie” Dlamini knows this only too well. But bring it on, she says: she’s ready for whatever will be lobbed her way. “A roast is about not taking yourself too seriously,” she tells us. “I may also get an opportunity to dispel many of the rumours out there about me.” The 33-year-old TV personality, actress, model and producer will have her chance during The Roast of Minnie Dlamini, which takes place during the Laugh Africa Comedy Festival at the Sandton Convention Centre from 5 April and will air on Showmax on 26 April. She’ll have…

Game of Thrones actress SOPHIE TURNER has asked a judge to reactivate her divorce case against JOE JONAS. Joe (34) filed for divorce last September and they reached a temporary custody agreement for their daughters, Delphine (21 months) and Willa (3), in December. This agreement, which had the girls split their time between Sophie (28) in the UK and Joe in the US, came to an end in January. According to Joe’s representatives this is just a legal formality and they continue “to negotiate an amicable resolution.” ARIANA GRANDE can finally put her marriage to DALTON GOMEZ behind her. The couple’s separation was recently finalised six months after Ariana (30) filed for divorce from the estate agent. Dalton (28) was awarded a once-off payment of $1,25 million (R22,5m) and half…

A TRANSPARENT raincoat with nothing underneath. A sheer bodysuit with a cushion covering her breasts. Another see-through bodysuit held up by two elastic bands. Metallic lingerie featuring a stuffed cat. It seems almost every week new pictures emerge of Bianca Censori out and about – and every time the outfits are a little more revealing, a bit more bizarre, ever more scandalous. Case in point: a recent outing to a Los Angeles mall, Bianca in a bra top, neon green tights and pointy high-heeled pumps, her husband, Kanye West, in his trademark top-to-toe baggy black. Bianca’s outfit, as has become the norm, left little to the imagination – but even that wasn’t enough for Ye. As they waited for a lift he reached for his wife’s behind and pulled down…

‘THE DOCTOR SAYS IT WAS MIRACULOUS THAT TYLOR WAS ABLE TO BREATHE ON HIS OWN’ HE CAN’T get the image out of his mind. It’s been three months and he still gets flashbacks to that terrible moment when his son lay face down in the water. At first Reggie Pillay wasn’t that worried. His son, Tylor (17), was a strong swimmer so when Reggie saw a big wave crash over his boy and sweep him off his feet he thought he’d be fine. But then two more waves rolled in and Tylor vanished underneath the water. Reggie, watching increasingly anxiously from the beach, was relieved when he saw his son surface – but his relief was short lived when he noticed Tylor didn’t seem to be moving and was floating…

BOOK OF THE WEEK ANNIE BOT By SIERRA GREER Mariner It’s impossible not to like Annie. She’s empathetic and warm, intelligent and funny. But although she’s hailed as “the perfect girlfriend”, Annie isn’t a real woman – she’s a sex robot. Her whole life centres around her owner, Doug, who can fine-tune her weight and libido to suit his personal preferences. But the thing that really makes Annie special is her ability to learn from her experiences and adapt to Doug’s needs and moods. In fact, during the time she’s spent living with him in his New York apartment, he’s trained her so well that her developers want to pay him huge amounts of money to make copies of Annie to sell to other prospective buyers. The irony is that…

CHOOSING winning images out of a sea of fabulous photos can’t be easy – especially when there are 14 000 submissions to choose from, each taken by photographers who all believe their pic is the best. This was the task of judges for this year’s British Wildlife Photographer Awards – a panel spoilt for choice when it came to deciding which pictures best captured the challenges and beauty of the natural world. But the job had to be done. Here’s a selection of the remarkable images that inched ahead of the competition. OCEAN DRIFTER Ryan Stalker This extraordinary shot of a football drifting with a host of goose barnacles attached to it was the overall winner. The image took first place in the coast and marine category. The ball had…

FEARS are mounting for reality star SCOTT DISICK after he was photographed looking gaunt and with what some are calling “Ozempic face”. Scott (40), who was heading out to dinner with friends in West Hollywood, had sunken eyes and hollow cheeks, both side effects of rapid weight loss. It fuelled speculation that he’s one of the many celebs who’ve been using the popular weight loss drug Ozempic. According to insiders he’s been desperately trying to shed the kilos after seeing photos of himself and footage of the Kardashian reality show over the past year. “Scott wanted the easy way out of his dad bod,” they told Daily Mail. “But now it has clearly gone too far and the family are worried.” In an episode of The Kardashians, Scott opened up…

TWO minutes and 16 seconds – that’s how long it took for her to deliver the news that simultaneously stunned and chastised the world. The video, filmed by the BBC two days before it was released, showed a pale yet composed Kate, seated alone on a bench in Windsor, a backdrop of daffodils adding a splash of colour to a grey British spring day. Despite the enormity of the occasion, the Princess of Wales was in typical form: straightforward, compassionate, reassuring. It was only when she started speaking about her children that she looked down – a fleeting insight into the roiling emotions she must have been feeling. Kate’s cancer announcement was a shocking climax to the intense speculation and rampant conspiracy theories that had been doing the rounds since…

HIS SPORT OBSESSION Q My husband has always been crazy about sport and was a very accomplished rugby player at school and at club level. He puts a lot of pressure on our 15-year-old son to follow in his footsteps, but my son isn’t interested, preferring to do drama and focus on his schoolwork instead. The more my husband pressurises him, the more anxious he gets. He isn’t interested in going to sport matches with his dad, who feels hurt and rejected. They both love each other but this issue is driving a wedge between them. My husband tells me how disappointed he is in the boy, who, in turn, tells me that he can’t take his father being so hard on him and can’t wait to leave home one…

THERE’S a yellow biohazard danger sign on the door, alongside the logo for the Back to the Future film. This is the lab where French research scientist Jean-Michel Claverie does the work that might one day save humankind from another devastating pandemic. He reaches into a freezer and pulls out a small plastic bag containing what looks like the damp remains of a sandcastle. It is in fact thawed Siberian permafrost. Jean-Michel (73) had to go to great lengths to collect this sample. It took days, several flights and a ride in a rickety boat made from old war plane parts to reach the banks of the Kolyma river west of Chersky, a remote town not far from the East Siberian Sea. Once a transit hub for Soviet Gulags, Chersky…

IT’S inspired movies, a hit TV show, postage stamps, a range of trainers and Lego sets and has a staggering following of more than 60 million fans. Not bad for a game that started out as an ultra-niche hobby for geeky fans of fantasy and sci-fi long before the genres became the super-cool go-to for the hip and the happening. Dungeons & Dragons, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, has come a long way since its 1974 debut as the world’s first fantasy tabletop roleplaying game. It has also morphed into a successful video game – although to die-hard fans the tabletop game is still the ultimate thing to play. Here’s a look at all things Dungeons & Dragons to mark the game’s milestone birthday. ONCE UPON A…

1 AARON IN RUNNING FOR BOND It’s been three years since Daniel Craig (56) hung up his James Bond tux and it’s been a guessing game as to who the next 007 would be. The latest forerunner is said to be dishy British actor AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON, who has reportedly already been made an offer. If rumours are true Aaron (33) will beat out favourites Henry Cavill, Tom Hardy and Idris Elba. 2 BELLA FACES BACKLASH BELLA HADID often shares pics of her horses on social media but a recent shoot for Vogue Italia in which she stands on the back of one has shocked fans. “Poor horse” and “Doesn’t that hurt the horse when you stand on it?” were some of the comments on the post. Bella (27) clearly didn’t…

Tennis No 1 NOVAK DJOKOVIC shocked fans when he recently pulled out of the Miami Open but that didn’t mean he wasn’t going to enjoy the city’s glorious weather. Novak (36) was seen running on Miami Beach before taking a dip with friends and signing autographs. A few days before the tournament he released a statement saying, “At this stage of my career, I’m balancing my private and professional schedule.” Good for him!…
