New Zealand Woman’s Weekly 1837

Crown Princess Mary (46) didn’t need to fish for compliments on a four-day royal tour of the Faroe Islands, which are part of the Danish kingdom. The Tasmanian beauty looked resplendent in traditional Faroese dress, along with her husband Crown Prince Frederik (50), and their children Prince Christian (12), Princess Isabella (11), and seven-year-old twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine. The family arrived at the capital of Torshavn in style on their royal yacht, which gave them a chance to wave to the crowd of wellwishers. When tweenager Christian was asked what he thought of his costume, he replied diplomatically, “The good thing is it keeps us warm.”…

This week I’ve spent a lot of time looking at the calendar. Well, double checking it actually, as I’m quite sure there’s been a mistake. Are we sure it’s September?

After six decades in the business, Jane Fonda can certainly still pull in a crowd! The 80-year-old jetted our way after spending a few days in Australia, where fans lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the screen legend on the red carpet at the premiere of her new film Book Club. Jane’s visit to New Zealand centred on a one-night event at Auckland’s Aotea Centre, where fans paid up to $159 a ticket for An Evening with Jane Fonda. During the trip, Jane reflected on her life and loves, at one stage revealing her favourite attribute in a partner – one she often overlooked in the past. “One thing you don’t tend to look for when you’re younger is kindness,” she says. “It didn’t occur to me until…
