New Zealand Woman’s Weekly 1845

This is a moment royal watchers have been waiting for. Seven years after Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, married into the firm, her induction into the Royal Family Order of Elizabeth II has been confirmed. Kate (36) publicly debuted the Order during a state dinner to honour Queen Máxima (47) and King Willem-Alexander (51) of the Netherlands, while wearing the late Princess Diana’s favourite tiara, the Cambridge Lovers’ Knot. She dazzled alongside her husband, Prince William (36), as they joined the Queen (92) and the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall at the glittering Buckingham Palace affair, which followed a hectic day of formalities and ceremony. Only senior royal women are bestowed with the honour – Camilla (71), Princess Anne (68) and Sophie, Countess of Wessex (53), are among the seven living…

If you scroll the message boards it seems that all TVNZ’s Wendy Petrie needs to do is take a night off to get everyone talking. Worried fans or eager news websites immediately start speculating about her whereabouts – but the truth is always a lot less scandalous: Wendy takes holidays or days off just like the rest of us.

Monaco has another royal baby! Charlotte Casiraghi, the granddaughter of Princess Grace of Monaco, has welcomed her second child, and first with fiancé Dimitri Rassam (36). The Monaguese royal, who is currently 11th in line to the throne, welcomed a little boy on Tuesday, October 23 at Princess Grace Hospital, named for her grandmother. The new baby is Princess Caroline’s seventh grandchild, but will not take a place in the Monaguese line of succession as his parents are not married. Charlotte’s (32) son Raphaël (4), her child with former partner, comedian Gad Elmaleh (47), is also not included. However, the tiny European principality will still be thrilled with another Grimaldi baby – and the new arrival certainly doesn’t have a shortage of playmates, with Prince Albert (60) and Princess Charlene’s…
