IF YOU had to single out a recent event that speaks of his arrogance and his family’s attitude towards him, it has to be the funeral of the Duchess of Kent. It was a solemn occasion, as funerals usually are – but amid the mourning black something stood out: Prince Andrew’s teeth. As other royals bowed their heads and supported the wispy, grief-stricken Duke of Kent, there he was, grinning, chortling, whispering and gabbing. He tried to talk to Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, who did her best to ignore him. He tried to talk to his brother, King Charles, who, polite to the core, nodded coolly. Then he tried to engage Prince William – and if body language could talk the future king was saying, “Shut up, Uncle”. Now, to…

PRAYERS, cheers and songs of freedom rang out across Israel and Palestine as people heralded the return of hostages and prisoners after the striking of a deal that has, like the terrible war itself, divided the world. In Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, thousands of people gathered to welcome the last surviving 20 Israeli hostages taken on 7 October 2023, a terrible day that continues to traumatise the nation. And in Gaza and the West Bank, families waited at checkpoints, clutching photographs of loved ones they hoped would be coming back – even if it was to a land decimated by bombs and crippled by hunger. The future of the Middle East region remains uncertain. Part of the peace deal orchestrated by US President Donald Trump is that Hamas must…

HE’S MAKING THREATS EVEN THOUGH WE’VE ONLY TEXTED OVER THE PHONE Q I’m 16 and received a call from a 20-year-old guy who got my number from a mutual friend. From the start he seemed unstable – sending photos of self-harm and sharing disturbing stories while asking for friendship and help. Wanting to support someone who seemed lonely, I sent him a photo when he asked. That’s when things escalated. He became possessive, acting like my boyfriend, demanding to know my whereabouts and expecting instant responses to his messages. I have my own life, including an actual boyfriend. Now he’s sent frightening emails, including threats against my little sister. When I told him to leave me alone, his messages became increasingly menacing. What should I do? Marianne, email A This…

WHAT do you get when a global superstar, hit-maker and space traveller hooks up with an unemployed, middle-aged divorcé once regarded as the sexiest politician in the world? A rather unlikely couple, that’s what – and also one of the most fascinating possible pairings the planet has seen in a long time. If new pictures are to be believed, Katy Perry has fallen for former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau – a guy so charming even the Princess of Wales got all giggly and hair-twirly when she met him in his bigwig days. Katy (40) and 53-year-old Justin’s recent dalliance on a luxury yacht in sunny Santa Barbara, California, has raised plenty of eyebrows. There Katy was, sleek in a black one-piece, in an embrace with a shirtless, jeans-clad Justin…

HE’S lost count of the number of times he’s cheated on his wife – there were “many women” is all he’ll say. It’s a shocking number, Ren Bester admits. “I honestly couldn’t put a number to it. There were loads.” Ren (46) was addicted to getting approval from others and sex became the drug that best fulfilled his need. “I mostly met women in the music industry,” says Ren, who was once a member of the group The Suits. “We had sex in hotel rooms, bathrooms, cars . . . anywhere.” When he was at home Ren pretended to be a hands-on family man, devoted to his three young children and his wife Adelé (41). But the moment he stepped away, he was between the sheets with someone else. And…

WEREWOLF LOGIC A guy dressed in regular street clothes walks into a bar on Halloween and orders a beer. “I’m here for the costume party,” he tells the bartender. The bartender looks him up and down, taking in his ordinary clothing and no makeup or wig. “What are you supposed to be?” the bartender asks. “I’m a werewolf,” the guy replies. “How’s that? You’re not dressed up at all,” the bartender says. “Well, it’s not a full moon tonight, now is it, Mr Smart Guy?” the guy replies. GRAVE MISTAKE Two men were walking home after a Halloween party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery just for laughs. Right in the middle of the cemetery they were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the misty shadows.…

WITH extreme, spinning winds roaring over warm oceans, hurricanes are among the most powerful – and most frightening – natural events on Earth. They can darken the sky for days, whip up towering waves and unleash rain so heavy it floods entire neighbourhoods. In some parts of the world hurricanes are a regular and very real danger. However here in South Africa we are largely spared from them. Sure, we’re no strangers to spectacular thunderstorms, crippling droughts and winds strong enough to knock you off your feet – but we don’t face the full fury of hurricanes. So what exactly is a hurricane and why do they threaten other countries more than ours? Let’s dive into the science – and the drama – of hurricanes. ➧ HOW HURRICANES ARE FORMED…

IT CAN be hard meeting people for the first time – the self-conscious small talk, the social awkwardness, the uncomfortable silences – but he has a fail-safe method for breaking the ice. He extends his hand and says, “Hi, my name is Dion and I’m a cat butler.” Which, unsurprisingly, opens the floodgates for conversation. And it’s true, Dion Chang says: he’s had many cats over the years and he’s always been at their beck and call, hopping to it every time they meow. But while Dion is the first to admit his cats have him wrapped around their claws, he’s nothing compared to other pet owners when it comes to pampering the four-legged loves of their lives. NEW TRENDS INCLUDE CBD TREATS AND PAWTERNITY LEAVE FOR NEW PET OWNERS…

BULLYING comes in all shapes and sizes and Hollywood has its fair share as well. Last year Dune star REBECCA FERGUSON spoke about an influential actor who made her life miserable on the set of one of her movies. While she hasn’t identified the star, Rebecca (42) recently spoke about it again, saying she isn’t the only person who had the same experience with the actor. “We put a lot of blame on bullies and when we get older, we can understand that people are insecure,” the Swedish actress recently told Britain’s The Sunday Times. “When you start standing up for yourself, it’s really tricky. They’ll fire you and give the job to someone else.” She previously spoke about how the well-known actor would often put her and others down…

Gingham to go Nothing says picnic like a red gingham dress. Pair this timeless pattern with woven mules, a straw tote and fun sunnies for that easy, “grab-and-go” chic. Tip Add a raffia headband or gold hoops to keep it casual yet polished. This look works with both flats and block heels. Print on print Why choose one print when you can mix two? A gingham puff-sleeved top teamed with a striped skirt feels playful and fresh. Neutral espadrilles and a crochet bag balance the boldness. Tip Stick to a similar colour palette when mixing prints – it keeps the look fun without clashing. Retro twist A crisp white blouse tucked into a black-and-white gingham skirt gives this outfit a retro-picnic feel. Red earrings and a printed scarf add a…

SUMMER ISLAND By KRISTIN HANNAHMacMillan Not-too-successful comedian Ruby Bridge uses her mother as the main subject of her cynical, bitter humour. Her mom, divorcée Nora, is a national spiritual and moral advice columnist and radio host. A former lover is now blackmailing her, which destroys Nora’s career and leads to an accident-suicide attempt.

Nora is forced to address the family secrets she’s spent years trying to avoid. Also on the island is Ruby’s first love, Dean,…

IT’S hard to believe that just a few weeks ago the chubby baby who smiles and laughs all the time was battling a devastating neurological condition. He looks strong and healthy, reaching his arms towards his mom, Janca, as his dad, Springbok and Stormers prop Neethling Fouché, passes him to his wife. Seven-month-old Pelser has always been a sturdy little guy, Janca says. “He weighed four kilos at birth. He keeps my arms busy and my heart full.” We’re catching up with the family at a coffee shop near their home in Stellenbosch to hear about the harrowing medical crisis that turned their world upside down. Pelser was recently diagnosed with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome, a severe form of epilepsy that causes brief but catastrophic seizures where children suddenly stiffen…

1 AL’S BIG REGRET AL PACINO (85) has one big regret: not marrying DIANE KEATON (79), who starred opposite him in The Godfather trilogy. The couple dated on and off for two decades before calling it quits in the ’90s after Diane gave Al an ultimatum to commit and he refused. “For years after he and Diane split, Al used to say, ‘If it’s meant to be, it’s never too late for a do-over’. But sadly, now it is,” a friend of the actor told the Daily Mail. Following her death Al paid tribute to Diane, describing her as a “once-in-a-lifetime gift.” 2 BRITNEY CLAPS BACK BRITNEY SPEARS has had enough of her ex-husband, KEVIN FEDERLINE, cashing in on her life story.
