Queen Margrethe II of Denmark was spotted out with a new man, sparking rumours the 79-year-old might be ready for love again. The Danish royal was seen outside The National Gallery in London with a Swedish count named Gustaf Trolle-Bonde. The 76-year-old is rumoured to be the Queen’s new boyfriend.

With Prince Frederik and Princess Mary taking on more royal duties, they would no doubt be happy to…

Fast-forward three short years and Jelena Dokic reached the quarter-finals of the French Open, which catapulted her to the world’s No. 4 tennis player. But after unexpected injuries prematurely ended her career in 2014, the Croatian-born player was left unemployed, insecure, and asking herself the question: “what next?”. “Because I retired so suddenly I felt that my career didn’t have a conclusion,” she tells New Idea. “That was really hard for me. It was a scary four years afterwards as I was finding myself. I tried a lot of different things, some I was good at, some I wasn’t, some I liked, some I didn’t.” Just as she…

The bustling beach-side town of Claremont sits on the mouth of the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia. It’s home to some of the country’s most expensive houses and a lively night-life culture.

Teaching your kids life skills can feel like a full-time job. Just when you thought you were done having taught them how to apply sunscreen or safely cross the road, a ton of other stuff presents itself. One life skill I think we overlook more than any other, is teaching our kids how to manage stress. Recently I was at a barbecue and asked all the parents if they talked to their kids about the fun parts of their job. They all thought about it and realised that mostly they showcased the frustrations and stress. I used to be the same until I realised I was my child’s window on the adult world. If I constantly presented work as a burden or a challenge, then I was failing to show…

LYNNE MCGRANGER (IRENE ROBERTS) Irene is the definition of a true-blue Aussie battler. And boy, has she battled. After arriving in Summer Bay as an alcoholic mother of two, Irene has turned her life around. Along the way, she’s had her share of dramas. But which of Irene’s storylines have been her favourites? “It’s a toss-up,” Lynne, 66, tells New Idea. “There was Irene on the jury [in the trial] of a guy who was sent to jail for murder. It turned out his brother, a cop named Corey (Adam Saunders), who wanted revenge, ended up living with Irene and tried to poison her.” Six years later, in 2011, Irene found out she had breast cancer and she had to face the very real prospect she might die. “[That]…

STRESSED ANGIE GOES ON HUNGER STRIKE Angelina Jolie was spotted looking frail while on a shopping trip in Los Angeles with several of her children. Sources say that the actress is stressed to the max as she braces herself for more custody talks with Brad Pitt – and it’s affecting her appetite. “She’s barely 100lbs [45kg] right now, and nobody around her can remember the last time she ate a full meal,” says a source. “Angie’s made no secret of how she wants to live abroad but Brad’s put his foot down and there’s nothing she can do about it. That’s led to this lifestyle of rushing every other week from Europe to LA, shuttling the kids around when she’s not working and stretching herself to the limit.…

Now, a source tells New Idea that the couple are desperate to get their model daughter away from the troubled comedian. “This has gone way past the point of them disapproving of the romance and into far darker territory now,” claims the source. “It’s an absolute nightmare for Kaia to be in the middle of, but Rande has vowed to see this through until Pete gets the help he needs, and Cindy isn’t letting  either of them out of her sight for a second longer than she can help it.” There was concern for Pete when Rande and Cindy were photographed outside Kaia’s New York apartment apparently discussing his…

The baffling disappearance of Australia’s 17th prime minister, Harold Holt, has become a staple of Australian folklore. On December 17, 1967, 59-year-old Harold and his friend Alan Stewart entered the heavy surf at Cheviot Beach in Portsea, Victoria, for an afternoon swim. As friends watched on from the shoreline, Harold swam deeper into the crashing ocean and slipped under the waves, never to be seen again. Alan emerged from the water, but Harold simply vanished. Witness Marjorie Gillespie, a married Toorak heiress long believed to be Harold’s secret lover, described the last moment anyone saw the PM alive. “[It was] like a leaf being taken out … so quick and final,” Marjorie said.

Q My husband spends a lot of time after work with his ‘business partner’, who is female, and doesn’t come home until after 12 some nights. I’ve never had a reason to not trust him, although it’s becoming strange when he won’t give me details about what he was doing. He still acts the same around me and our relationship hasn’t changed. Would it be ridiculous if I questioned him on his colleague? ANONYMOUS, VIA EMAIL. A I’ve never heard such nonsense.
