EVER since he was old enough to understand, he’s known what his job was going to be. As a little boy he even lorded it over people a bit, telling them “I’m going to be king” to get his way or put them in their place. But William has come a long way from the sometimes-arrogant kid he could be – and as his father continues to fight the frailties age and disease can bring, he’s becoming more powerful. The Prince of Wales is “as ready as he’ll ever be” to slip into the monarch’s shoes and become head of family and country, experts say. His “apprenticeship” is ratcheting up, his role is expanding and he’s stepping up on the world stage like never before. This year has been a…

IT’S 4pm on a Monday and she hasn’t had anything decent to eat all day. She’s in a creased T-shirt and she’s exhausted. She’d love to have a shower and a nap but her baby is recovering from flu and she wants her mama. In other words, it’s the life of a new mother – although there’s another layer complicating things for Motshidisi Mohono these days. The SuperSport TV presenter is still recovering from knee surgery she had in February, three months after returning to work from maternity leave. But things are getting better, she tells us from her home in Durban – she no longer has to wear a knee brace and she’s officially walking without crutches for the first time in 12 weeks. Getting back to normal is…

YOU’VE maxed out your credit card and are suddenly faced with huge repayments every month. Here’s what you need to do to get a better grip on your spending so you can avoid making the same mistake again. 1 ACKNOWLEDGE IT AND MOVE ON The worst thing you can do is to keep beating yourself up.

1 CATCHING UP WITH KAHN He’s best known as the singer of legendary SA band The Parlotones, but these days KAHN MORBEE is focusing on his own projects. He recently dropped his first solo work in four years – the EP Buzzhead. Woven with folky-rock sounds, it’s a follow up to his 2021 album, A World at Suicide. We caught up with the 47-year-old singer-songwriter, who now lives in the Netherlands. Why the title Buzzhead? It just happened to be the title of one of the tracks, and I like how it rolls off the tongue. What continues to inspire you to write new music? I’m constantly learning new guitar parts, and I’m learning more and more about production. These discoveries are often a creative springboard, as is the…

IT’S SATURDAY morning, three days after my afternoon with Ita O’Brien, the intimacy co-ordinator who choreographed the sex scenes in hit TV shows Normal People, I May Destroy You and Sex Education. Normally, I would be enjoying a quiet cup of tea with the paper, but instead I am “eye-gazing” with my wife. If you want to have a good intimate relationship, Ita says, you have to do the groundwork. You have to connect with your physical self and your inner emotional landscape. You have to be open, you have to be present, all that stuff. You can’t just take your clothes off and hope for the best. What does this mean in practice? Right now it means I’m looking into Harriet’s eyes and she’s looking into mine. That’s already…

IT WAS a chance to extend an olive branch to the man he was once so close to, to acknowledge him in some small way that would bring him a crumb of comfort. But did Brooklyn Beckham do that? He did not. In fact, he dug the knife in further. The latest salvo in the feud between the eldest Beckham kid and his parents was delivered in a new interview with German Glamour magazine where he made it clear his loyalties lie with one person only – his wife, Nicola. The couple fielded questions on everything from their careers to their three-year marriage – but it was Brooklyn’s obvious diss to his dad that really raised eyebrows. The slight in question was about his hot sauce range, Cloud23, which only…

HIT Model Demi-Leigh Tebow DENNIS A three-month pregnant Demi-Leigh exudes the energy of a crisp spring morning in this tailored suit. KIM You’d think it wouldn’t work but the South African model and beauty queen makes all-pastel look just lovely! The pops of white and her wavy locks add to the relaxed look. A breath of fresh air! LOLA Can you go wrong with an oversize pantsuit? Probably. But Demi’s killing it. That powder blue is perfect on her. SHOUNEES Is there any style this beauty queen can’t rock? The pants may be a bit too long but the baby bump draped in pretty pale blue takes this look to 10/10 for me. HIT Actress Mary Holland and her sister, model Grace Ann Nader DENNIS The jean-ius sisters are a…

EVERY step she takes on her daily walk fills her with gratitude. Being able to enjoy physical activity, putting on her favourite pair of jeans without wincing in pain and playing with her two children – none of these are things she takes for granted anymore. For many years even the simplest tasks were a challenge, says Ricky Booysen (45), a bookkeeper from Kimberley. She’d struggled with her legs for most of her life, experiencing symptoms such as swelling, chronic pain, easy bruising and water retention. For Ricky, this was simply normal – the women on her father’s side all had similar issues and similar looking legs. She thought it was just how that side of the family was built. Then in February 2021 she finally discovered that the condition…

LINE OF FIRE ■ I went to the shooting range for the first time and couldn’t get my gun to fire. I guess I have to read the troubleshooting section in the manual now. ■ Why couldn’t the strawberry shoot its gun? Because it was jammed. ■ John is trying to convince Fred how smart his dog is. “Pretend to shoot it,” he says. Fred points his fingers at the dog and says, “Bang!” The dog does nothing. “See,” says John, “he knew you were only pretending.” ■ What’s the worst thing you can say when someone points a gun at you? “Oh, shoot!” ROCK ON ■ Why do small space rocks taste better than small Earth rocks? They’re a little meteor. ■ My friend told me he wanted a…

THE HOMEMADE GOD By RACHEL JOYCE Doubleday Larger-than-life artist Vic Kemp has always been the heart and soul of his four children’s lives. Now they simply don’t know what’s got into their dad. He’s gone off and married the mysterious and much younger Bella-Mae, an “artist” he met online. He’s lost weight and even grown a goatee. When the newlyweds decamp to the family’s idyllic villa in Italy so Vic can work on his masterpiece, the siblings are mystified. Then they hear the shocking news that Vic is dead and his children are forced to confront their relationship with him and one another. Determined to uncover the truth about their father’s final days – and suspicious that the elusive Bella-Mae may not be as innocent as she seems – they…

FOR a club synonymous with silverware and European dominance, the current state of Real Madrid feels like a dramatic fall from grace. No recent trophies, a string of humiliating defeats and a team that appear to have lost their identity entirely. The 2-1 loss to Arsenal in the Champions League and the humiliating 5-2 thrashing by Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final have left fans angry and desperate for change, with those who once celebrated with champagne now drowning their sorrows in it. But a ray of sunshine has broken through the dark clouds hanging over the club – Xabi Alonso, Real’s former midfield maestro, has come home to (hopefully) save the day. The 43-year-old arrives fresh from a remarkable three-year winning streak as manager of Bayer Leverkusen, bringing…

DESIGNER sneakers? Cutting-edge hairstyles? Statement accessories? Check, check and check. Oh, and a coveted R250 000 Hermès Birkin bag? Check! North West may only be 12 years old, but she’s one big fashionista in the making. The daughter of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian made waves again recently when she was spotted leaving a Malibu restaurant sporting electric-blue hair alongside her famous mom. It’s not the first time, of course – the pre-teen showcased a bluish hue in May as she made her debut at the Met Gala with Kim. Her fashion evolution has fused premium brands with an individual taste that keeps people watching her every move. Yet again, North shows she’s part of a style scene that regular folks can just window-shop. FASHION FLOPS North’s “mature” outfits often…

DI’S DRESSES ON AUCTION Royal’s iconic collection set to break records NEARLY 30 years after her tragic death, Princess Diana continues to captivate the world. Her personal collection of dresses and treasures is going on sale in what is being called the largest royal wardrobe auction in history. Princess Diana’s Style & A Royal Collection, scheduled for 26 June in Beverly Hills, will showcase more than 200 garments and artefacts spanning her extraordinary life. The collection, expected to fetch $5-$7 million (R90-R126m), features items from her childhood, her time as a kindergarten teacher and her years as a member of the royal family. “In some people’s minds she’s like a saint,” reflects Elizabeth Emanuel, who co-designed Diana’s wedding gown. “They want to touch her, they want anything that was part…

THEY were besties, two guys who just “got each other” and loved hanging out. “I love Donald Trump as much as a straight man can love another man,” Elon Musk wrote on his social media platform, X, in February as he embraced his role as the US president’s “First Buddy”. When the friendship was going well, everything was great – they had sleepovers at the White House, sat together to watch rockets being blasted into space, tucked into Big Macs aboard private jets and peppered each other with high fives and fist bumps. But it was too good to last and the globe got to witness the astonishing fallout as the “special” relationship between the world’s richest man and the world’s most powerful man crashed and burned. It all started…

IT’S DARK and bitterly cold when his alarm goes off at 4.30am, but this matric boy is on a mission – no hitting the snooze button and grabbing a few more minutes under the covers for him. Rudolph Lekay gets dressed quickly and then hits the street on his skateboard to get to the bus terminal in Mitchells Plain, Cape Town, where he hawks his wares – bags of sweets and chips. His mission: raising money for his matric farewell later this year. From the bus station, the 18-year-old moves to the taxi rank, where he approaches commuters waiting in line and proffers his products. Before heading to Florida Secondary School in Ravensmead at 7.20am, he counts his coins and exchanges them for notes with fellow traders. On a good…

MY DREAM MAN HAS ASKED ME ON A DATE AND I’M TERRIFIED Q I’ve been in love with a man for five years. He never seemed to notice me and I all but gave up. Now he’s suddenly interested and has asked me out on a date. It feels as if my dreams are coming true and I can’t believe it. What must I wear and how should I behave? I want to tell him I’ve been in love with him for years, but it might be too much for him and he might think I’m coming on too strong. What do I talk about to impress him? I so much want him to ask me on many more dates in the future. Mariaan, email A It’s not a good…

WE TALK ABOUT Where humpback whales give birth IT’S BEEN discovered that humpback whales are no longer giving birth where they used to – and as things stand, this isn’t good. They usually search for food in the waters of the polar regions, and when it’s time to give birth, those living in the southern hemisphere typically migrate to warmer waters, such as those of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, and those in the northern hemisphere head towards the Caribbean Sea. A new study published in May, however, shows these patterns are changing, with humpback whale calves having been seen as far as Tasmania, an island separate from the Australian mainland that is thousands of kilometres away from where they are usually born. The study was launched after researcher…

YOU’D think with his impressive resume and onscreen appeal he wouldn’t have to change a thing about his looks. Yet after years of sporting a clean-shaven head, Clint Brink, who starred in hit TV shows Backstage and Generations, found himself at a crossroads when he decided to leave the popular soap Binnelanders to focus on his family and explore new opportunities. And one opportunity presented itself quite unexpectedly – the chance to change his hair game completely. And for the 44-year-old, it was quite a thing. “When I was younger I had a full head of hair – small brown curls,” he tells YOU. “For one storyline in Generations I had to braid my hair tight against my head. When that storyline ended and I loosened the braids, my hair…

SHE thought her career was over when a stroke robbed her of speech three years ago. For renowned singer Lira – whose melodic voice had commanded standing ovations across the globe – her world changed in an instant. Diagnosed with aphasia, a language disorder caused by the stroke, she suddenly couldn’t form the simplest of sentences. Her medical team outlined the challenging path ahead – she’d need to rebuild her language skills methodically, one painstaking sound at a time. What they couldn’t predict was the extraordinary twist her recovery would take – while speaking remained a struggle, her singing voice emerged largely intact, preserved in a different part of her brain. “Like a child I had to learn to talk again, saying one letter at a time, practising for days…

WHAT better place to celebrate a kid’s birthday than at Disneyland, even if you are royal? The Duke and Duchess of Sussex marked their daughter’s fourth birthday with a special trip to the Magic Kingdom. “Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!” Meghan (43) captioned the Instagram reel that included clips of her, Prince Harry (40), Archie (6) and Lilibet enjoying various rides, along with a glimpse of Lilibet’s Little Mermaid-themed cake. On 4 June, the little girl’s birthday, the Duchess shared a series of never-before-seen pictures to celebrate Lili, as her parents affectionately call her. Her first post featured a heartwarming image of herself cradling a newborn Lili just hours after birth, with the caption, “Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago,…

1 JESSIE J’S CANCER SCARE British singer JESSIE J has shared a video on Instagram revealing she’s been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. The 37-year-old says she’ll undergo surgery after performing at the Summertime Ball in London this month, but while she’ll take some time off to recover, she’s promised fans she’ll be back with more music. “Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding on to the word ‘early’,” she says. 2 CARDI B GOES INSTA-OFFICIAL After filing for divorce from rapper Offset, CARDI B (32) has confirmed her new romance with NFL star STEFON DIGGS (31).

SINGER CHAD SAAIMAN AND DAD ABIE SAAIMAN “I will never forget this day: It was my very first football match at the age of seven at Astroturf Sports Centre in Athlone, Cape Town. “I remember looking out for my dad, and when he arrived and I spotted him, he gave me a nod to say, ‘You’ve got this’, and I ended up scoring a hat-trick. “I started loving soccer because of him.” TV PRESENTER JONATHAN BOYNTON-LEE AND DAD TUBBY “One of my favourite memories with my late dad, Tubby, was when he and the rest of my family walked the red carpet with me at the premiere of one of my first movies, 3 Days to Go, back in 2019.” 5FM PRESENTER NICK HAMMAN AND DAD JOHN HAMMAN “One of…
