IT SEEMS like just the other day we met Prince George for the first time, a lovely little bundle in his doting parents’ arms. But here he is, nearly grown up! William and Kate’s firstborn recently turned 12 and the pair released a new picture of their beloved boy to celebrate the occasion. He looks so much like his dad, I thought when I saw the special pic. Just a few weeks ago I watched on TV when he attended the Wimbledon tennis final with his family. To be honest, I felt a bit sorry for young George in his formal jacket and tie in the warm London weather. My eldest is around the same age, and I know he’d simply refuse to wear anything except shorts and a T-shirt…

THE chubby-cheeked cuteness of boyhood is almost all gone, slowly being replaced by the features of the man Prince George will soon be. And those features, fans agree, most closely resemble those of his dad Prince William. Social media lit up when Kate and Wills shared a new photo of their pre-teen to mark his 12th birthday on 22 July. Dressed in a crisp white checked shirt layered with a khaki gilet, Britain’s future king can be seen grinning for the camera while leaning over a wooden gate in the British countryside. “What a fine young man he’s growing up to be. He looks like his Papa,” one user said. “Wow! His features so strongly resemble his dad,” remarked another. His doting parents also shared a candid behind-the-scenes video of…

THE sound of little feet racing across the tiled floor fills the Pretoria home as the young boy darts between rooms, his laughter echoing through the spacious corridors. For Candice and Devon Williams, these everyday moments feel nothing short of miraculous. “I love being a parent,” says Candice (34), the reigning Mrs Universe South Africa, watching her five-year-old son Che-Kai from their sun-drenched living room. “I miss the baby stage when he didn’t talk back, but I love everything about it.” It’s a joy that once seemed impossible. The couple endured multiple miscarriages before Che-Kai’s arrival – a journey that tested their marriage, faith and dreams of parenthood. “Losing a baby is like losing a piece of yourself,” Candice reflects. Devon (33), who plays fullback for the Blue Bulls, sits…

THAT’S him in the video, isn’t it? The little guy from the Leon Schuster movies? But what’s he doing working in a butchery? It doesn’t look like a movie or an advert – in fact, he looks pretty at home helping customers choose their cuts of meat. The clip of Alfred Ntombela – or Shorty, as he’s become known after appearing in nearly a dozen movies – went viral recently, leading to a torrent of speculation. Had Alfred fallen on hard times? Has he given up movies to take a regular job? Has Leon abandoned him? Actually, it’s none of the above, Alfred (53) tells YOU. “Wrong inferences were made. People think I’m on my last dollar but the exact opposite is the truth – I’m not broke. I’m thriving.”…

WHO says makeup has to go dark and moody just because it’s gloomy outside? This season, there’s a whole new wave of fun and fresh shades to brighten up even the greyest days. From pistachio green to butter yellow and blurred berry tones, these five trending shades are wearable, flattering and totally now. BUTTER YELLOW THE LOOK: Soft, sunny and uplifting, this neutral hue plays nicely with every skin tone. A cheerful contrast to the season’s usual palette, this pastel shade adds a gentle brightness to eyes and nails without being too loud. On peepers, it works beautifully as a wash across the lid or as a subtle pop in the inner corner. It also makes for a dreamy nail shade. Whether worn alone with a glossy or matte topcoat…

MY FRIEND’S HUSBAND HAS FEELINGS FOR ME Q I have been in love with my best friend’s husband since she introduced me to him four years ago. They got married two years ago and it has really become a mission for me to visit them and see them together. Recently they’ve been having marital problems and during my recent visit to their home we all got a little tipsy and her husband had to take her to bed. When he returned he made overtures towards me and I was very tempted to go with the flow. I’ve known there is an attraction between us from the beginning and during that night he confirmed it and told me…

SHE’S starred alongside Ralph Fiennes in Schindler’s List and wowed audiences with her powerhouse performances in blockbuster movies such as The Amazing Spider-Man, Bridget Jones’s Diary and Matilda. Embeth Davidtz hopes fans will also be talking about her latest movie for a long time to come – not only because she starred in it, wrote the screenplay for it and directed it, but also because it gave her the opportunity to film in South Africa again for the first time in decades. While Hollywood likes to think of her as one of their own, the super-talented actress remains South African to the core. Although she was born in America, she lived here for 17 years – it’s where she made her debut as an actress, starring in both English and…

TENNIS champ VENUS WILLIAMS has confirmed her engagement to her Italian boyfriend, ANDREA PRETI (37), after months of leaving everyone guessing. Venus (45) was first spotted with a ring on her finger back in February but the couple, who have only been dating for a year, have stayed mum. But after a recent match in Washington, tennis commentator Rennae Stubbs sneakily slipped in a question about her engagement. “My fiancé is here. He really encouraged me to keep playing. Do you know how hard it is to play tennis? It’s nine to five except you’re running the whole time,” she said. “There were so many times where I just wanted to coast and kind of chill. He encouraged me to get through this, and it’s wonderful to be here.” The…

SEVENTY-TWO hours after our daughter was born, my husband Clarke and I held a press conference to introduce her to the world. We’d planned the whole thing before I gave birth in June 2018 and I’d been sure it would be fine. Kate Middleton did it, I’d thought. I can make it work. Now that I’d just given birth, it didn’t feel fine. I had spent most of the waking hours since Neve arrived just staring at her, the way new parents do. For so long I had waited and worried, and now she was here. I was relieved and elated. My body, though, was another matter. Even the easiest birth knocks a body in two, and Neve’s wasn’t entirely straightforward. Close to delivery, her heart rate had dropped precipitously…

THE whistle blows, signalling a penalty for the Springboks. Manie Libbok moves towards the posts, and fans across the country hold their breath. Everyone knows he can get the ball through the posts – but will he? At home in Cape Town, Gareth Wright can’t watch the TV when Manie is preparing to take a shot at goal. “I’ll go for a walk in the garden,” he says. “I can’t bear it, you know?” These aren’t just the nerves of any Springbok supporter – Gareth knows Manie better than most and he knows how hard he works. He’s been the 28-year-old flyhalf ’s kicking coach at the Stormers for the past few years and he’s a mainstay when things get tough. It’s a lot harder to watch on TV than…

FANS are used to seeing actor Sacha Baron Cohen transform into comedic characters such as Bruno, Borat and Ali G, but his latest transformation has everyone looking twice. Sacha (53), who is known for his tall and lanky physique, recently debuted his new ripped bod on the cover of Men’s Fitness magazine. The actor recently finalised his divorce from his wife of 13 years, actress Isla Fisher, so many are wondering if this is also a case of revenge body. ‘‘Some celebs use Ozempic, some use private chefs, some use personal trainers. I did all three,” he posted on his Instagram stories with the photos from the shoot. “Debuting my new character. Middle-aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes.” The metamorphosis is for his new role as Marvel’s supervillain…

The 30-year-old podcast powerhouse has built an empire from making everyone from former US vice president Kamala Harris to fake German heiress Anna Delvey open up about their most private moments. Charlize Theron recently told her how she’d had sex with a 26-year-old and Miley Cyrus confessed she’d lost her virginity at 16 to Liam Hemsworth. Nothing is off limits on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy show – in fact, the raunchier and more in-your-face you can be, the better. And it’s pure audio gold. Alex’s show is the most-listened-to podcast by women, with millions hanging on every unfiltered word. It’s this magnetic pull that landed her a $60-million…

UNSOLICITED By ANDREA SHAW Jacana Warrant Officer Fatima Matthews is a seasoned detective who has no patience with nonsense or egos. She is investigating the murder of Clea Graham, a publisher at Hadeda Press. Clea read manuscripts sent in by would-be authors and decided which were to be published, but it turns out that she didn’t bother to read most of the submitted work. Could this be a lead? The book is set in Cape Town and the local publishing industry so Fatima has to wrap her head around plagiarism, scandals, drug dealers, unhappy authors and buried secrets. On top of this she’s dealing with menopausal symptoms like hot flushes and sharing a house with her son, Benji, his Brazilian wife Thana, and their little daughter Ayla, as well as…

IT’S a tiny monster elf with bat-like ears, a cheeky grin showing nine wonky teeth and a mischievous expression that screams “I’m up to no good” – and it’s the thing everyone from Madonna and Dua Lipa to Caster Semenya and children around the world are losing their minds over. Labubu has taken over from Jellycats and Squishmallows as the must-have creature – although this one is more than a toy to cuddle and snuggle. It’s a bit like Jibbitz for Crocs – you know, those charms you can personalise your favourite foam clogs with – but for handbags. A Labubu adds pizzazz and personality to your bag, fans believe – and the creator is laughing all the way to the bank. The plush little toy is the brainchild of…

SHE claims he physically abused her, he says she’s a raging alcoholic and a cheater. She’s called him an unemployed loser, he says she must pay up. This is the bitter he-said, she-said divorce that’s rocking Hollywood – and it’s becoming uglier by the day. Denise Richards has taken out a restraining order against Aaron Phypers, her husband of six years, accusing him of physical and emotional abuse and harassment. In court documents the 54-year-old The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star submitted a photo of herself with a black eye, saying it was just one of many instances Aaron (52) got physical with her. “Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head,…
