Throughout my years at New Idea, I’ve reported on many of the major royal events. There’s been several extravagant weddings, the excitement of royal baby arrivals and definitely the odd scandal or two! But none of that compares to the whirlwind of the past week. It started with the shock claims made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in their Oprah Winfrey sit-down and ended with the royals in crisis – and all while Prince Philip remains hospitalised. On pages 8 to 16 we’ve covered the major angles and provided expert analysis. These events have shown that nothing can go back to the way it was now. I’m calling it: this is the dawn of a new royal era!…

It was the shocking tell-all that shook Buckingham Palace down to its 318-year-old foundations, blowing Princess Diana’s infamous 1995 Panorama confessional out of the water. And less than 24 hours after the world watched Meghan Markle and Prince Harry level explosive accusations of racism and neglect against the House of Windsor during their TV sit-down with Oprah Winfrey, one of their main targets, the Duchess of Cambridge, was seen looking stone-cold furious as she ran errands in London. The palace took the traditional route of issuing a brief statement professing their sadness and concern at Meghan and Harry’s claims – though it included a stinging jibe that “some recollections may vary”. The statement ended with the declaration that the family would investigate the issues privately. But New Idea can exclusively…

Harry and Meghan’s future, and whether or not they will ever be welcomed back into the royal family, now hangs in the balance following their brutal interview. “I don’t see how they can come back from this,” royal author Penny Junor tells New Idea. “They have lobbed a grenade into everything he once held dear and blown a hole in the institution that his grandmother has devoted her life to protecting. “And that institution is both his father’s and his brother’s future. I fear the damage may be too great for those relationships to be repaired. I imagine Charles and William will be both sad and angry. No family wants to see its dirty linen washed in public.” Junor believes that while the royal family has weathered many storms over…

Amid a firestorm of revelations and confessions, one moment of positivity in Harry and Meghan’s TV tell-all was the news they would be welcoming a baby girl in the US summertime. While the name of their son, Archie – who turns 2 in May – has no royal affiliation, New Idea is told the pair could pick a royal name for their daughter, just in case they ever need to extend an “olive branch” to the royal family following the fallout from their polarising sit-down. The frontrunners are said to be Diana and Victoria. “Harry will push to include his beloved mother,” tells an insider. “Meanwhile, Meghan has long been obsessed with Queen Victoria, and especially her involvement in 18th-century politics.” Harry could barely contain his excitement as he revealed…

›From telling her “she’s not ugly”, to dwelling over the fact that she has green eyes, Bryce Ruthven appears to be slowly pushing his 31-year-old bride, Melissa Rawson, away. Speaking to New Idea, our Married at First Sight set spy reveals the pair’s relationship has hit a bump in the road, with the couple’s fellow participants growing critical of their seemingly smitten romance. According to the insider, radio announcer Bryce, also 31, found himself the subject of many whispers on set that he was using the ratings juggernaut to further his media career – leaving workplace trainer Mel devastated! “Everyone thinks Bryce just went on the show to try and boost his radio career and become the next Kyle Sandilands,” explains the source. “He certainly had that approach at the…

FIGURE- HUGGING DRESS SOLUTION: SLIP SLIMMING Figure-hugging dresses can be tricky to feel confident in because of their usually thinner fabric. A full slip slimming dress with built-in bra will work wonders here. It will smooth out any bumps and eliminate underwear lines. Extra bonus: Go for a style with detachable straps to wear with different necklines! BELTED JUMPSUIT SOLUTIONSHORTS : SHAPING The jumpsuit is so on-trend right now. To create a beautiful hourglass shape, choose a style that has a belted waist and team with shaping shorts. These will give you comfortable control while cinching in the waist and tapering you in at the thighs to accentuate your amazing shape. Shaping shorts in warmer months can also prevent thigh chafing. DENIM JEANS SOLUTION: HIGH- WAIST BRIEFS High-waist briefs work…

THE ‘THREE-TOWEL’ TRICK US vet Dr Marty Becker (vetstreet.com) recommends the ‘three-towel’ trick. “Have one towel to put in the bottom of the tub to provide traction and prevent slipping,” he says. “The second towel is the anti-shake towel – drape it over the wet dog to prevent him from shaking, and soaking you and the walls. The third towel is the drying towel … a big dog might need more than one drying towel.” HOW TO CALM YOUR CAT Cats and water usually don’t mix, so it’s crucial to keep your cat calm at bath time. Start off by patting them and giving a treat, and then try and bathe them in the area they spend the most time in so it’s familiar to them. After bathing, dry, brush…

1 UNIQUE SELLING POINT What could you personally bring to the role over anyone else? Think about your transferable skills, plus your experience. 2 HIGHLIGHT LEADERSHIP Recruiters and employers are often impressed by leadership skills. Even if you’ve never had a management position, you’ve probably had leadership experiences, such as running a team project. 3 HAVE RELEVANT EXAMPLES Explaining that you used your leadership skills to manage a team of people for a six-month project will make more of an impression than simply saying you have strong leadership skills. Include examples in your resume and practise talking about them for your interview.…

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20 This is such a powerful time for you. Your key now is to work through your fears. That might sound like a platitude, but if you really focus on this and do it, you will see your life starting to change in ways that you want it to – even if it means seeing a counsellor or doing some self-help. Think about what fears have held you back. It’s confronting, but it’ll change your life! YOUR POWER DAY: MARCH 18 ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20 The amazing thing that the pandemic has taught so many of us is that even in the middle of the most restrictive lockdowns, what people missed was less the material things and more seeing the people we love.…

REMEMBERING A TRUE HERO Very sad to hear the recent news of Captain Sir Tom Moore’s passing from COVID-19. We could all take a leaf out of this incredibly inspirational man’s book. At 100 years of age, the army veteran won the hearts of more than 1.5 million supporters by walking 100 laps of his garden during the first coronavirus lockdown. Raising £38 million for the NHS Charities Together. The world needs more people like you, may God rest your soul. ANNA MOORE, BURLEIGH HEADS, QLD. TWO WRONG FEET I was a teacher at a preschool. I watched on as a little boy put his shoes on. I said: “You have got them on the wrong feet.” He looked at me, worried, and said: “But I don’t have any other…

Alec Baldwin has not held back on offering his opinion about The Crown star Gillian Anderson, after she switched between an American and British accent in a recent interview. Taking to Twitter, the 30 Rock actor shared an article about Gillian’s accent variation, writing: “Switching accents? That sounds ... fascinating.” Alec’s comments come after his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, was accused of misleading people about her Spanish heritage. Hilaria was born in Boston to American parents, but has appeared in interviews in the past speaking with a Spanish accent, and in a now-viral clip she appeared to forget the English word for “cucumber”. It was later revealed that Hilaria spent time between the US and Spain growing up, and her parents moved there in 2011. Just days after Alec’s salty tweet,…

Ellen DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, are once again streamlining their lavish property portfolio. Just four months after selling their Santa Barbara estate for $43 million, the couple, who married in 2008, have now listed their Beverly Hills mansion for a whopping $68.3 million. While it’s unclear why the duo are selling off their assets, it comes just months after Ellen was pictured on several occasions without her wedding ring on, sparking speculation that she and Portia were going through a rough patch.…

Britney Spears’ rumoured fiancé, Sam Asghari, has all but confirmed the couple are trying to start a family! “I want to take my relationship to the next step, as well,” he said in a new interview. “I don’t mind becoming a father. I want to be a young dad.” It’s believed that Britney, who is already a mother to sons Sean Preston, 15, and Jayden James, 14, who she shares with ex-husband, Kevin Federline, is hoping for a girl this time! Last week, sources confirmed that she has had her eggs on ice for years. “She and Sam are ready to go as soon as her father [Jamie] agrees,” said a close pal. “Right now, he is under a lot of pressure to give her what she wants with the…

That’s got to hurt! Crown Princess Mary of Denmark shocked onlookers when she was seen sporting a large bruise underneath her right eye on February 27. Known for her love of horseriding, the mother-of-four didn’t seem fazed by the injury as she took a break from royal duties to enjoy a ride out in the sun with her two daughters, Princess Isabella, 13, and Princess Josephine, 10. The two girls appeared to be enjoying themselves as they trotted around the arena on their own horses and took instruction from their trainers. Looking on the fun was Mary’s husband, Prince Frederik, 52, who stood and observed his wife and children alongside the family dog, Grace, and two pals. At press time, it is unknown how the injury occurred. However, the shiner…

Meghan and Harry’s controversial Oprah interview was filled with numerous bombshell allegations about the royal family. But the couple’s mannerisms tell a far more intriguing tale. Speaking to New Idea, body language expert, Adrianne Carter, says it’s very clear that, despite coming across as a “genuine husband and father that has been hurt by his family, Harry’s behaviour indicated that he was feeling discomfort and stress” during the sit-down. As for Meghan, UK-based Carter believes Meghan succeeded in presenting herself as “a woman unfairly treated”. But at the same time, there were portions when “the actress took over”. Here, Carter shares more of her findings from the interview...…

If Meghan Markle thought her Oprah interview would silence fresh claims that she was a “bully”, she was mistaken. Last week, insiders came forward to tell the media of their own experiences with the duchess during her time as a working royal. And if their accounts are to be believed, Meghan may have more explaining to do yet. The Sun reported claims originally printed in New Idea that during Meghan’s trip to Australia in 2018, she had a heated exchange with a staffer at Sydney’s Admiralty House. Meanwhile, claims made by royal reporter, Katie Nicholl, that Meghan flipped out over being able to taste egg in a macrobiotic meal were rehashed, with her source saying it was witnessed by the Queen. But perhaps the most damning account of all is…

Those close to Harry say they noticed “bad vibes” between him and Oprah during his part of the special. “Harry is uncomfortable during interviews usually, but he and Oprah are supposed to be friends. However, there were moments of tension between them,” says a source. “You could tell she was unimpressed when he complained – to a black woman – about being ‘trapped within a system’, despite being raised as a white male in a palace.” The insider was also surprised by Oprah’s “softball questioning” of Harry when he made claims about his family’s alleged racism. “We expected Oprah to push him on his own mistakes, including dressing as a Nazi for a costume party. She is this fearsome interviewer, but she went pretty easy on him in that sense.”…

She’s proving to be one of the more reserved contestants, but last week, a cloud of doubt was cast over sales representative Belinda Vickers. The 29-year old, who entered the experiment claiming to have never dated before, was rocked by reports she had secretly dated 73-year-old security guard, Martin De Bono, prior to auditioning for the hit reality show. According to the So Dramatic! podcast, friends of Belinda insisted that the pair knew each other for a long time before they began dating back in 2019. But speaking to New Idea, sources close to Belinda maintain she and the bouncer were “no more than friends” and that the pair “would often hang out, but it was not a relationship”.…

Starring opposite a young Claudia Karvan, Alex Dimitriades became a household name – and the crush of teenagers everywhere – in his debut film, The Heartbreak Kid, and its spin-off TV series, Heartbreak High. Since then, Alex, now 47, has remained a fixture of the Australia film and television industry, earning rave reviews and a slew of awards for his work in high-profile productions such as the first season of Underbelly, The Slap and The Principle. Still, the actor admits there’s no escaping his teen-sensation past – not that he’d ever want to. “We’re all very proud to have been part of a series that was not only daring and brave during its heyday, but one which also stands up today. It’s found a whole new audience,” Alex tells New…

For mums like Tamra Betts, the threat of melanoma is all too real. Her daughter, Emma, succumbed to the disease at just 25 years old. Despite the tragedy, Tamra has now dedicated her life to keeping the legacy of her daughter alive by advocating and raising funds for the Melanoma Institute. This month marks the 10th anniversary of Melanoma March, and Tamra and husband, Leon, are involved. “It’s important to us as a family because these funds for research kept Emma with us for two extra years,” Tamra tells New Idea. “If you are aware of your skin, you do the ‘Slip, Slop, Slap’, and make wise choices, it can be prevented,” she says. Tamra, 58, recalls that Emma was first diagnosed with the disease after a scuba diving instructor…

1 An expert bushman known in the area, who often disappears into the valley for months at a time, has been questioned over a number of mysterious disappearances. But police have said there is nothing to indicate he is linked to the couple. 2 Close friend Rob Ashlin believes Russell and Carol were killed in their sleeping bags by illegal hunters, and their bodies were left to be eaten by wild dogs. He thinks Russell’s drone captured footage of illegal activity in the area. 3 The couple could have faked their own deaths to live a secret life, but officers have ruled this out. “They’re too old really to drop off the grid, and why would they?” a police source said.…

If there’s one thing we’ve noticed in the last 12 months, it’s that at-home experimental beauty treatments have become a phenomenon, and ‘dermaplaning’ is one of them. Asian women have been using Japanese facial razors to remove fine facial hair and dead skin cells for centuries. However, the concept has only gained ‘trending’ status in Australia recently. Curious? Keep reading for everything you need to know about dermaplaning – aka shaving your face. WHAT IS DERMAPLANING? Basically, it’s the act of using a razor, scalpel or a specialised razor to remove that fine, vellus hair that resembles the fuzz on a peach, typically found on the upper lip, jawline and hairline. It also helps to remove dead skin cells, leaving the skin smooth and silky. Dermaplaning isn’t just reserved for…

Pet adoptions were at an all-time high last year, given that most of us were stuck at home during lockdown, in need of a furry companion. However, as the nation returns to a state of normality and people head back to the office, many are worried about how their four-legged friends will cope with being left alone. Dr Lee Danks, technical services vet for Black Hawk pet care, says that some animals will experience separation anxiety, while others will be completely unfazed – depending on the animal’s emotional stability. Regardless of this, creating an environment that supports your pet is vital. “It’s about putting them in a positive, rather than negative, emotional state while you’re away, coupled with healthy outputs and de-stressors,” he says. “One option is ‘occupy’, ‘entertain’ or…

When it comes to treating any eye condition, early detection is vital. OPSM optometrist Elizabeth Kodari explains what to look out for. GLAUCOMA Glaucoma is caused by damage to the optic nerve, so your field of vision becomes narrower. You can have open- or closed-angle glaucoma. “Although loss of visual field can be a warning sign of open-angle glaucoma, it isn’t until the condition is quite advanced that patients may notice any changes,” Elizabeth says. This means it’s essential to keep up your regular eye checks. “In closed-angle glaucoma, many patients may experience a painful and sudden loss of vision,” Elizabeth adds. “Other early warning signs include blurry vision, haloes around lights, headache, nausea or vomiting. As symptoms can occur suddenly, it’s important that you see your optometrist as soon…

Ultimate Tag is fun, fast-paced and, as co-host Abbey Gelmi tells New Idea, the feel-good show of the year. This week, the presenter reveals why she and co-host Matt Shirvington were banned from the course, and what she’s really like outside of the glitz and glam of the small screen. The show is so much fun. What do you love most about the job? [That] the whole family can watch. For me, that’s so important. I’m all about making the world a more positive place and I’m really proud to be part of a show that represents that on every level. Ultimate Tag is your second stint on reality TV, following House Rules. It’s a little different from your work as a sports presenter – what do you love most…

Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara has won her ongoing legal battle with ex-husband Nick Loeb over custody rights to frozen pre-embryos they created while they were together. Sofia filed legal documents in 2017 to prevent Nick from being able to use the embryos without her consent after the pair underwent IVF to create the embryos at the ART Reproductive Center in Beverly Hills, before splitting in 2014. The legal saga dates back to 2015, when her ex-fiancé attempted to gain full legal custody of their embryos. But, after years of legal battles, on March 2, an LA County Superior Court judge sided with Sofia, granting her request for a permanent injunction, stating that Nick could not use the embryos “to create a child without the explicit written permission of the…

Gwyneth Paltrow is known for her healthy lifestyle, but the actress confessed that she managed to gain 6kg during the COVID-19 lockdown. “I was absolutely no holds barred,” Gwyneth recently revealed. “I gained 14 pounds [6kg] and my gut was a mess. I felt like my wine and my pasta and biscuits and crackers and cheese were getting me through.” To shed the additional weight, Gwyneth embarked on a bone broth diet, which has seen her drop back to her pre-COVID size. “I remember when I started … all I could think about was, ‘When can I have a cocktail again?’” she quipped, admitting it took about two months before she felt entirely “disciplined”.…

Nicolas Cage has shocked the world by tying the knot for the fifth time! The 57-year-old actor wed his girlfriend, Riko Shibata – who he met shortly after his last marriage to Erika Koike – at the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas on February 16. At 26, Nic’s new bride is four years younger than his 30-year-old son Preston! While the Con Air star no doubt hopes his marriage to Riko will be easier than his previous four unions, sources reveal there’s already tensions brewing thanks to his third ex-wife, Alice Kim! Alice shares 15-year-old son Kal-El with Nicolas, and is said to have attended the nuptials – not to celebrate, but to accompany their teen son. Sources believe Alice seems “increasingly wary” of Nicolas’ new marriage and life choices.…

Talk about a ruff situation! James Brolin is tired of Barbra Streisand spoiling their pets, only to ignore him – and now he’s laying down the law. According to a source, doting dog mum Babs – who revealed in 2018 that two of her pups, Miss Violet and Miss Scarlett, were cloned from her late beloved dog Samantha – has given the animals full run of their home, including their bed, much to James’ dismay! “It’s clear the dogs come first,” says the insider. “He’s taken about all he can.” James has even issued an ultimatum, telling his wife of nearly 23 years that she needs to prioritise him – or else. While the source admits it’s unlikely James would really leave the singer over her love of animals, he’s…

ARCHIE WAS DENIED A PRINCE TITLE AT BIRTH But not due to his ethnicity! Following royal convention, prince and princess titles apply only to children and grandchildren of the monarch, and those in direct line of succession. If and when Charles ascends the throne, Archie will be entitled to become a prince. THE SECRET WEDDING Meghan says she and Harry were married three days before their wedding in a private ceremony with only the Archbishop of Canterbury present. However, it wasn’t legally binding and merely a personal and private exchange of vows. MEGHAN HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE ROYALS Meghan claimed to have limited knowledge of the royals. But her own blog, The Tig, contradicts this, with Meghan posting about Prince William and Kate Middleton’s 2011 wedding, describing the “pomp…

During the interview, Meghan claimed the institution had an active role in “perpetuating falsehoods” about her and Harry during their time as working royals. And in a resurfaced interview with Robert Lacey, author of Battle of Brothers, there’s one senior royal in particular who has a history of being a little loose-lipped. When asked about William and Harry’s relationship with their stepmother, Camilla, in an interview with New Idea last year, Robert admitted they “are not entirely thrilled” by the prospect of Camilla becoming queen. He alleged that while he has never spoken to her, “Camilla is our source” and insisted that she was the one behind leaking details to the press about Wills’ bad temper. “That comes particularly from Camilla,” Robert declared. “We’ve discovered that all through the years…

Ashley Reynolds’ phone vibrated. It was a text message from an anonymous sender. “I have naked pictures of you,” it read. “‘It’s a scam,’ I thought,” says Ashley, 26. “I ignored it.” But in fact, it was the trademark opening line of a sexploitation case that snared Ashley and hundreds of victims worldwide. And, with more of us using Zoom and home computers during the COVID pandemic, we’ve all become even easier prey for cyber blackmailers. Ashley was just 14 years old when she became a target in 2009. “After I ignored that first text, I got dozens,” she says. “He demanded pictures of me in my underwear or he’d send naked pictures of me to my friends and family. Nobody had naked photos of me, but my mind raced.…

You know the feeling. It’s Sunday night and a creeping sense of dread arrives whenever you think about the working week ahead. But it needn’t be that way. Here’s some ways to relieve that workplace anxiety. 1EXERCISE IN A GROUP We all know that it clears the head to go for a walk or even a run at lunch, but if you really want to release stress, then organise group fitness. A recent study published in The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association found working out in a group lowers stress by 26 per cent, while those who exercise individually put in more effort but experienced no significant changes in their stress level. “The communal benefits of coming together with [others], and doing something difficult, pays dividends beyond exercising alone,”…

8 different courses make up the competition, including the Survival Tag, Stealth Tag, Gravity Tag, The Wall, The Alley, Revenge Tag, Dodge Tag and The Vortex. 4000 kg of grey paint was used to paint the eight obstacle courses and large set. 19 world-class cameras are used to capture the speed and excitement, including a Spydercam. Other cameras, including a Techno-Jib, Hotheads and mini cams, are placed inside the course and obstacles to capture the high-octane action. 4 very carefully stacked semi-trailers were used to transport the sets. 250 crew members worked on the series! Detailed design work of the courses started months before filming and, due to the extensive nature of the courses, building continued during filming. 1 exceptionally talented Academy award-winning costume designer, Tim Chappel, created the costumes…

KYLE SANDILANDS “I like them, I feel for them, but there’s some of it I don’t believe! Her pretending she didn’t know what she was in for and she didn’t know she’d have to give up social media. We all know that you’ve got to give that up. She’s American, not dumb. The royal family is on TV every five seconds in America ... always has been.” BETHENNY FRANKEL “Cry me a river ... the plight of being a game-show host, fairly unknown actress, to suffering in a palace, [with] tiaras & 7 figure weddings for TWO WHOLE YEARS to being a household name [with] @Oprah on speed dial, fetching 7 [million] for interviews, hundreds of millions in media deals.” PIERS MORGAN “This interview is an absolutely disgraceful betrayal of…
