The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s last trip to New York City generated headlines for all the wrong reasons. Sadly, that seems to be the case again following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s downbeat appearance at the World Mental Health Day Festival on October 10. The couple were in town to host their first ever in-person Archewell Foundation event. Yet a source tells New Idea that “Meghan looked extremely tense, trying to play the perfect duchess. Harry, to put it bluntly, was a bumbling wreck.” While the panel the Sussexes were hosting was a sombre one – featuring parents who have suffered losses connected to their children’s social media use – Harry, 39 and Meghan, 42, barely interacted with one another. “It was awkward,” says one onlooker. “He used to…

There’s no denying that when we hit a recession, we have less funds for the things we don’t necessarily ‘need’ but absolutely ‘want’, like getting our hair done. You’ve probably heard of the so-called ‘lipstick effect’, a theory that people will purchase little luxuries, like a Chanel lipstick, during a recession but won’t make more expensive purchases, like a designer handbag. Likewise, when it comes to hair there’s the terms ‘recession brunette’ and ‘low-maintenance blonde’, where people are going for a more ‘lived in’ look. It also helps that It girls such as of Jennifer Aniston and Hailey Bieber have been praised for opting for artful free-hand bleach work that can be left to grow out over a number of months, rather than weeks. We enlisted the help of seamless…

My wonderful partner Ian with our two beautiful fur babies, Alice the black Pom and Honey the Chihuahua, having their daily cuddle. LORNA MYERS, FRENCHVILLE, QLD. Everlasting love They are polar opposites, chalk and cheese, but fun-loving Jess Rowe and stoic Peter Overton really are the epitome of a happy marriage (New Idea, September 11). Jess sharing their bedroom secrets, well, in this case kitchen bench antics, really made me chuckle. I can only imagine Pete cringing as he has always been seen as a serious journalist. We have been treated to seeing another side of him. Jess is so open and obviously carefree as she flutters through life while Pete is her happy landing. I wish them both many years of happy encounters. MARILYN JOHNSTON, BORONIA, VIC. BEST OF…

Scammer and pseudoscience advocate Belle Gibson tricked the world 10 years ago, and the hurt and pain she caused is still fresh for Victorian mum Kylie Willey. Kylie’s world came to a standstill when she was diagnosed with lymphoblastic lymphoma, a rare form of cancer, in April 2014.
