Like many right now, I am currently binge-watching The Crown. The fifth series of the drama has me gripped ... but now there’s a real-life royal TV series beginning that will more than surpass that series when it comes to drama. Harry & Meghan begins on Netflix this week and it seems like the show will continue to drop bombs onto Britain’s royal family. I must admit, I would love to have been a fly on the wall at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Montecito mansion when they decided to absolutely go to town on his family – again – through the media. Clearly the couple are deeply aggrieved over their treatment within the institution, but it seems to me it will be almost impossible for Harry and…

He’s been linked to a number of young ladies in recent months, but Robert Irwin appeared to confirm that his heart is well and truly taken – stepping out with his new girlfriend, Rorie Buckey, recently. The pair were spotted cosying up during a romantic day out in Queensland late last month, grabbing takeaway before heading to the beach where they watched the sunset. The nature photographer, 19, looked smitten with his new lady love, who he has been following on Instagram for some time. And the pair seem to have a bit in common with Perth-based Buckey, 18, also hailing from a famous Aussie family – being the daughter of Heath Ledger’s sister, Kate. The pair’s romantic debut is likely to be music to Irwin’s sister Bindi’s ears, who…

Their divorce proceedings may not have dragged on for years and years (unlike fellow A-listers Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie), but Kim Kardashian is no doubt relieved to finally be shot of Kanye West. The 42-year-old finalised her contentious divorce from the rapper, 45, on November 28, putting an end to almost two years of West’s stalling tactics, desperate pleas for a reunion and public mudslinging. Just weeks before a trial was set to begin regarding the split over their shared property and custody of their four children – North, 9, Saint, 7, Chicago, 4, and 3-year-old Psalm – West is said to have finally come to the table. “Kim’s patience was tested,” an insider told Us Weekly. “But she handled things calmly and ultimately Kanye came around.” The proposed…

From a raid on her Sydney mansion in 2020, video footage aired at an inquest this year showing financial services business owner Melissa Caddick watching on as investigators went through her expensive belongings. As officers from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission seized jewellery, wads of foreign cash and watches from her roomy walk-in wardrobe, an investigator asked her if there were any particularly “high-value” items. Caddick, wearing black gym gear, crossed her arms and said, “I’d say they’re all high value.” She could afford them with the vast funds she had stolen from family, friends and trusting clients. Since September 12, an inquest into Caddick’s presumed death has delved into the case of the Sydney con woman who through an elaborate Ponzi scheme fleeced $20 to $30 million from…

It’s no secret women are the most out of pocket when it comes to financial equality. We earn less money overall, take more unpaid leave from work and we live longer than men. The Australian Financial Capability Survey notes Aussie women are less likely to be financially literate (53.77 per cent) than men (70.19 per cent) – something financial advisor, entrepreneur and author of Investing with She’s on the Money, Victoria Devine says can be especially concerning for married women. “There are a lot of women who have been led to believe that finances aren’t their space or have just thought it’s easier to just get their husband to do it,” Devine explains. “Sadly though, I’ve sat in meetings with women of all ages that have either lost their partner…

Brands such as Giorgio Armani and Paco Rabanne have adapted their bottles to make them refillable and recyclable, so all you have to do is head back to the shops for a top up.

The Prince and Princess of Wales appear to have adopted the Queen’s ‘keep calm and carry on’ attitude, wrapping up a three-day trip to Boston with a star-studded gala – despite the drama surrounding them on their first trip to the US in eight years. The couple, both 40, donned their finest to attend the Earthshot Prize in Boston on December 2, with Kate stunning in a gorgeous rented frock that suited the ceremony’s sustainable dress code. Her jewels for the event were also in theme, adding a touch of sparkle with a diamond and emerald choker that belonged to the late Princess Diana. Despite leaving the US on a high note, the pair’s trip was plagued with drama after they landed in Boston in the middle of a palace…

Shania Twain has revealed more about the sexual abuse that she endured as a teenager. The 57-year-old singer shared that she would flatten her breasts and do everything that she could to “play down” her gender to avoid the abuse that began, age 10, at the hands of her stepfather. “I hid myself. I would wear bras that were too small for me until there was nothing girl about me,” said Twain to The Sunday Times. “Make it easier to go unnoticed.” The Canadian-born star explained in another interview how she has come to terms with the abuse as an adult. “I do think it’s important that people understand you can survive these things,” she told The Guardian. “I feel the sexual abuse goes hand in hand with the physical…

World Vision Ambassador Melissa Doyle met her sponsor child Bridget, 4, for the first time this month, saying the moment “filled her heart”. Doyle travelled to the Mweiga region of Kenya for the emotional meeting and also spent time exploring the charity’s work. Sponsorships provide children and others in the community with clean water, warm blankets, food and school books. The presenter gifted Bridget with a fluffy toy koala. “What a truly special day,” Doyle said in a World Vision video. “She’s absolutely as cute as a button. She’s gorgeous. Dressed in her finest.” Doyle added, ”I feel so humbled knowing the small part that I can play in Bridget’s future.”…

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s first major production in the US, which has been two long years in the making, is finally playing out – and the judgement is coming in thick and fast. Volume I of their Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan, arrived on screens on Thursday after a last-minute blaze of publicity, following virtual silence from the streaming giant that wouldn’t even confirm the air date until days before. “No-one knows the full truth. We know the full truth,” declared Harry in the series, in which he makes accusations of planted stories and fears his wife Meghan would meet the same fate as his mother, Diana. “No-one else sees what’s happening behind closed doors”– PRINCE HARRY It’s been a roller coaster process for the couple, who originally…

A lot’s changed for Lara Worthington since she became an overnight sensation thanks to Tourism Australia’s So Where The Bloody Hell Are You? campaign in 2006. Back then, she was a 19-year-old model who was living and working in Italy. Fast forward to 2022 and 35-year-old Lara’s name is a brand in its own right. She’s fronted the cover of magazines like Marie Claire, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar, and is lauded for her coveted style – designers dream of dressing her in their wares. A turning point in her career came in 2014 when she self-funded her own beauty line, The Base, following her split from fiancé, Michael Clarke. A few years and a marriage to actor Sam Worthington later, and Lara made the incredibly selfless decision to turn her…

Protecting yourself from sun damage is a fact of life when you live Down Under. While many of us have learned to be vigilant when it comes to smearing on SPF, there are a few extra things that experts recommend you should do to stay safe outdoors. BE SUN-SMART Applying sunscreen every day is essential and it must be rated Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 30 or higher. “Sunscreen with SPF 30 filters out 96.7 per cent of UVB radiation while SPF 50 filters out about 98 per cent, so there’s not a huge amount of difference,” Professor Sanchia Aranda, a skin cancer expert and former CEO of Cancer Council Australia says. Use at least one teaspoon of sunscreen for your face, and another teaspoon for each limb. Being vigilant has…

A great hairstyle just won’t have the wow factor if your hair health isn’t top notch. And keeping hair shiny, hydrated and manageable often comes down to the products you use. “Choosing the right products can save you hours a day,” says Linda Flowers, a Hollywood hairstylist and ambassador for Hask, who counts Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Aniston as clients. Here’s how to tackle the most annoying hair hassles. BRASSINESS “Blonde highlighted hair can become dry and brittle and look dull and brassy in tone,” says hairstylist and Hask ambassador Camille Friend, who has worked on sets including Charlie’s Angels, Captain America: Civil War and The Help. She recommends purple-toned haircare specifically designed to lift blonde and grey hair. “A purple undertone helps keep your blonde hair bright and shiny,”…

Ever since Daniel Craig announced he was taking his final bow as James Bond in No Time to Die, there have been whispers of who would next take on the coveted role. And Aaron Taylor-Johnson is said to be the latest to throw his hat into the ring, with the actor, 32, reportedly impressing producer Barbara Broccoli during a secret audition. “Aaron went for a screen test to be the next Bond in September, and producers and Barbara loved him,” a source told The Sun. “He is now one of the frontrunners.” A number of stars have been rumoured for the role, including Tom Hardy, Paul Mescal, Regé-Jean Page and Idris Elba. However, Broccoli has revealed the role is a huge commitment. “When we cast Bond, it’s a 10 to…

who’s news There are not many people who would describe the purchase of a $9 million mansion as “a bit of an accident”, but Jesinta Franklin admits that her and husband Buddy’s recent property splurge is just that. The 31-year-old and her Sydney Swans star partner were pinned as the mystery buyers of the luxury Villa Casa property on the Gold Coast recently, proving true the rumours of a relocation after Buddy’s retirement from AFL at the end of next year. The seven-bedroom, eight-bathroom pad is a definite upgrade from their Rose Bay apartment and gives kids Tullulah, 2, and 1-year-old Rocky plenty of space to move around.…

Despite Prince William insisting the royals are “very much not a racist family” after Prince Harry and Meghan claimed that an unidentified relative voiced concerns about the skin tone of their then-unborn son, Archie, the firm has been forced into damage control once again. During a reception hosted by Queen Consort Camilla for campaigners against domestic violence, William’s godmother Lady Susan Hussey was accused of repeatedly asking Ngozi Fulani (right) where she came from – despite the charity founder saying she lived in London and was born in the UK. While Hussey has since apologised and stepped down from her role as a royal aide, Prince William also made a statement saying that “racism has no place in our society”.…

Fleetwood Mac singer-songwriter Christine McVie has been credited not only for penning some of the band’s greatest hits – including ‘Don’t Stop’ and ‘Songbird’ – but also as a steadying force during the most chaotic chapters of the band’s storied five-decade history. After her family announced her death on social media, writing that she died in hospital “following a short illness” surrounded by her family on November 30, the band led a flood of tributes. “She was truly one-ofa-kind, special and talented beyond measure,” the rockers wrote in a joint statement. “She was the best musician anyone could have in their band and the best friend anyone could have in their life.” In 2017, guitarist Lindsey Buckingham recalled first working with McVie on the iconic 1975 album, Fleetwood Mac. He…
