THE inaugural Pink Ball at the British Museum had been billed as one of the biggest nights on the London social calendar – it was the UK’s answer to the Met Ball, a night of glitz and glamour to which the crème de la crème of high society had been invited. And that included princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. But at the 11th hour the sisters pulled out – and you don’t need to be a genius to figure out why. Just 24 hours earlier their father, Prince Andrew, had announced he was renouncing his dukedom along with honours awarded for service and chivalry as more murk oozed over his disgraced head. Their mother also no longer had the right to call herself Duchess of York. For the princesses, showing face…

THERE’S something fabulously fitting about the scene that greets us when we connect via WhatsApp video call on a recent rainy Sunday afternoon. Towering behind Neil Scallan are hundreds and hundreds of Monopoly sets – a jaw-dropping backdrop that immediately tells you everything you need to know about this delightfully eccentric man. The 56-year-old DHL manager from the UK has, well, the monopoly on his favourite board game – and he has the certificate to prove it. Neil isn’t just a fan: he’s the official Guinness world record holder of the largest collection on the planet. He owns 4 379 different sets which he estimates are worth around £400 000 (R9,2 million). YOU tracked him down to talk about his obsession and Neil couldn’t be more in his element than…

I BELIEVE I WAS RAPED. WHAT SHOULD I DO? Q I’m 18 and was dating a 21-year-old I met at a party. I told him I wanted to remain a virgin until marriage and he seemed to respect this boundary. Recently, we attended another party where I planned to have only two drinks before switching to soft drinks to stay alert. However, I suspect my drink was spiked. I woke up three hours later, naked and in an unfamiliar bedroom with my clothes scattered on the floor. I have no memory of what happened, but I was bleeding and experiencing vaginal pain. My boyfriend claims he searched for me during those missing hours but couldn’t find me. I’m convinced I was raped but was too shocked to tell anyone. Three…

CHECK IT OUT! 1 SHOWGIRL TAYLOR SWIFT Is there a bigger pop star in the world than TAYLOR SWIFT? The American singer has brought together a global community known as the Taylor Nation, who worship her music and the ground she walks on. In August, she brought the internet to a standstill when she announced on social media that she and her boyfriend, American football player TRAVIS KELCE, were engaged. And now she’s got everyone going wild with the release of her new album, The Life of a Showgirl. It’s her 12th album with 12 tracks, and Taylor wrote and produced it with Max Martin and Shellback, a Swedish producer-songwriter duo who also worked with her on her fourth album, Red. Max and Shellback wrote some of her biggest hits,…

MOST neighbourhoods have one – that grump who can’t stand the sound of children playing outside. But in one suburb things went a lot further than a couple of complaints and a few angry words yelled over a garden fence. In Ocala, Florida, in the US, one neighbour’s annoyance escalated into a two-year campaign of hatred and harassment – and ultimately ended in tragedy. Susan Lorincz, an unemployed 58-year-old who lived alone in a rental property, began targeting children who played in a field near her home. She called 911 more than half a dozen times to complain about Ajike “AJ” Owens’ four children – Isaac (now 14), Israel (11), Afrika (9) and Titus (5) – along with other kids. Lorincz’s behaviour became increasingly aggressive. She placed no-trespassing signs in…

1 KRISTEN BELL IN HOT WATER! The Frozen actress is under fire after sharing a controversial 12th wedding anniversary message that many are calling deeply insensitive. “Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me: ‘I would never kill you’,” she wrote. “A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I’m heavily incentivised to kill you, I never would.” The post sparked fierce criticism, with many users describing it as unbelievably tone-deaf and insensitive, while others reminded her that spousal abuse should never be treated as a joke or taken lightly. 2 ROMEO AND KIM REUNITED ROMEO BECKHAM (23) and KIM TURNBULL (24) are back together after separating four months ago. The reunion was confirmed by Romeo through an Instagram post…

FOR years she tried to tell the world what had been done to her and was branded a liar and an attention-seeking fantasist by supporters of the people she accused – yet she refused to keep quiet. To millions, Virginia Roberts Giuffre was a hero, a brave young woman who refused to be a victim and who stood up to the rich and powerful even when they did everything to shut her up. And not even death has silenced her – following the release of her posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl, she’s continuing to speak out from beyond the grave. Written with the help of award-winning American journalist Amy Wallace, the book revisits every sordid detail of what she endured in the years she spent travelling the world with Jeffrey Epstein…

COLOUR-CODED Think beyond shades of just sand and sky when it comes to nature-inspired colour. Opt for various hues of pink and orange from a sunset or the dark grey of a brewing storm. Rich browns are inspired by autumn, while yellow is all about that summer vibe. FLORAL INFUSION Whether the prints are small or big, adding a floral pattern to a space brings a whimsical and feminine touch to the look. Pick up on colours in scatters to use around the rest of the room. MATERIAL MATTERS Use materials such as wood, wicker and metal to bring in natural elements. Also opt for textured items with organic shapes.

IF YOU’RE struggling with your car repayments, you can’t simply have someone else take over your vehicle loan. The safe and legal way is for them to get their own finance to buy the vehicle from you. Here’s how it works. 1 YOU CANNOT TRANSFER DEBT DIRECTLY The lender evaluated your credit profile and subsequently entered into a legally binding agreement with you, issuing the loan in your name. So even if someone else uses and pays for the car – perhaps a family member offers to “take over” payments by paying the instalment into your account – you’re still the one legally responsible for the debt. It’s…

MONKEY BUSINESS A child asked his father, “How were people born?” So his father said, “Adam and Eve made babies, then their babies became adults and made babies, and so on.” The child then went to his mother, asked her the same question and she told him, “We were monkeys then we evolved to become like we are now.” The child ran back to his father and said, “You lied to me!” His father replied, “No, your mom was talking about her side of the family.” KEEP IT DOWN A man walks into a library, approaches the librarian and says, “I’ll have a cheeseburger and fries, please.” The librarian says, “Sir, you know you’re in a library, right?” “Sorry,” he whispers. “I’ll have a cheeseburger and fries, please.” LAUGH TRACK…

FUR seals are lively, tough and highly adaptable marine mammals. With their thick coats and social behaviour, they stand out in the animal world. They belong to the pinniped family – fin or flipper-footed animals – which includes sea lions and true seals. Fur seals have the unique ability to thrive both in the sea and on land in diverse habitats spanning icy Antarctica to the warm islands of the Galápagos. We even have a species along our own coastline – the Cape fur seal. Fur seals might be named after their thick, desirable fur but as we will see, they are captivating marine mammals who have endured to remind us of their remarkable story of survival. ➧ WHAT MAKES A FUR SEAL DIFFERENT? There are nine species of fur…

I fear for my daughter’s and our safety”– CINDY ON THEIR STALKER SUPERMODEL CINDY CRAWFORD and her daughter KAIA GERBER, are the latest celebs taking action against an obsessive fan. Cindy (59) has filed an application for a temporary restraining order after a man named Daniel Lee Schoonover (35) started stalking and harassing Kaia (24) both on social media and in person. On one occasion Daniel arrived at Cindy and her husband Rande Gerber’s house asking for Kaia. Even more alarmingly he showed up at a play Kaia was acting in in Williamstown, Massachusetts, where he managed to approach her and bizarrely asked her to do a seance with him. “I am very troubled…

ALL she’s ever wanted is for her son to have a chance at a normal life – one where his face isn’t dominated by the enormous growth that’s made people stare and ask so many questions. And now, finally, there’s hope thanks to her love for her son that made her refuse to give up, a group of Good Samaritans and a team of skilled doctors who have stepped up to help the little boy. Nine-year-old Alondwe Ngwenya, who’s from Bergville in KwaZulu-Natal, was three months old when the tumour on his face began growing and for years doctors failed to treat it. He was eventually diagnosed with cystic hygroma, a congenital malformation of the lymphatic system that results in fluid-like sacs. Mercifully Alondwe wasn’t in pain but his mom,…

AS A teen and young adult he was in the grip of a gaming addiction that almost derailed his studies. So psychiatrist Dr Alok Kanojia knows exactly what he’s talking about. After a major mindset shift, which he details in his book How to Raise a Healthy Gamer, he finished college, went on to study medicine and eventually qualified as a psychiatrist. Given his track record of struggling with gaming, he became interested in helping people who have problems with the amount of time they spend playing games. Many of the leading experts in psychiatry, he realised, had no experience with this issue. “The majority of them have never even played a modern video game,” he says. “And if you’ve never played a modern video game, you just don’t know…

WE CAN DO HARD THINGS By GLENNON DOYLE, ABBY WAMBACH & AMANDA DOYLE Dial Press Trying to make sense of the world remains a constant battle for most of us, especially as we age. Once we think we have solved one thing, the next emerges to worry about endlessly. Amid my worries about the world, I spotted this title. Despite its bland cover, which does not serve it well, the subtitle of “Answers to Life’s 20 Questions” intrigued me as I wondered if the world really can be reduced to just 20 questions. The questions fit in with most people’s personal anxieties and cover the dilemmas we all spiral around. How do I feel better right now? How do I make peace with my body? How do I forgive? What…

Their scientific name, Odobenus rosmarus, means “tooth-walking sea horse” WALRUSES are giant animals with whiskers and long, white tusks that live mainly near the Arctic Circle. These water-and-land mammals are very social and hang out in huge groups while grunting or bellowing to each other. With their wrinkly brown and pink skin, flat fins and fat-filled bodies, walruses are easy to recognise and are truly one of a kind! MIGRATION Most walruses migrate north in the spring and south in autumn, but they remain close to the Arctic Circle. MIGHTY MALES Males are ALMOST TWICE AS BIG AS FEMALES , with larger tusks and thicker skin. They show who’s boss by acting tough, and the biggest males are usually the most aggressive. TUSKS Their tusks are actually giant canine teeth…

HUNDREDS of walkers and runners pour into the area for the weekly parkrun and as they mill about chatting, an elderly man in a pink shirt commands the lion’s share of attention. Everyone seems to know him, everyone wants to greet him. Cries of “Hello, Dr Cas” ring out in the early morning air and he returns the greetings with a cheery smile. Cas de Lange, a medical doctor, is a familiar face at Bellville’s Jack Muller Park in Cape Town, home to the Bellville Parkrun– one of South Africa’s largest events of its kind. Cas is practically part of the furniture here. He completed his 92nd parkrun the day after he recently turned 96 – an occasion marked by all the other runners singing Happy Birthday to him. Today…

PRINCE Charming doesn’t always come in riding on a white horse. Sometimes he simply blows you away with his taste in literature. And sometimes the stars just align at the right time. That’s how Masters of the Air actor CALLUM TURNER managed to bag megastar DUA LIPA. The couple were first linked back in January 2024 and would get engaged a year later. During a recent interview with the UK’s The Sunday Times, Callum (35) shared how he met Dua (30) at a mutual friend’s party and while chatting they realised they were reading the same book. “It’s called Trust [by Hernán Díaz] and I had just finished the first chapter, and I told her and she looked at me and said, ‘I just finished the first chapter too’ .…
