New Zealand Woman’s Weekly 1915

As far as royal tours go, surely an assignment to the Caribbean has to be one of the best itineraries! The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall appear to have had a jolly old time on their 12-day tour, visiting islands such as Barbados, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada. Prince Charles (70) and Camilla (71) also undertook an historic visit to Cuba, making them the first royals to do so. Judging by these pictures, it’s fair to say the pair enjoyed themselves immensely!…

So many images and stories have stopped me in my tracks over the last week. Waking up last Satur day and seeing photos of Jacinda Ardern gracing Dubai’s Burj Khalifa really warmed my heart. I’ve been lucky enough to stand underneath the famous skyscraper – and in the process, I nearly put my neck out trying to take it all in. Seeing the image of our Prime Minister embracing Wellington’s Naima Abdi projected onto the world’s tallest building as a sign of unity, support and compassion must have been a powerful sight to behold in person. Last week we spoke to Naima, after deciding to use the image on our cover, and she told us of her pride to be a New Zealander. “There is nowhere else I would call…

Prince Philip may have surrendered his driver’s licence, but he’s still king of the road! Following a crash in his Land Rover in February, the Duke of Edinburgh voluntarily gave up his licence, which means he’s no longer allowed to drive on public roads. However, the 97-year-old has found an alternative way to get around his Sandringham estate. He was spotted holding the reins of a horse-drawn carriage in Norfolk with two aides in the back seat. The duke took part in fast-paced, dangerous international carriage driving events until the age of 85, so he has plenty of experience with horses to fall back on now that he can’t get behind the wheel. Giddy up!…

When Prince Henry Charles Albert David and Rachel Meghan Markle tied the knot in May last year, we already knew they desperately wanted children. Before he even met Meghan, Harry (34) publicly declared, “I’ve longed for kids since I was very, very young.” And a month before she found her prince, Meghan (37) wrote on her former blog, “Other bucket-list items… I can’t wait to start a family, but in due time.” That time has come and the baby (or babies – one bookmaker offers 4/1 on twins) will come into the world by the end of this month or in early May at the latest. We don’t know the gender, but that’s not stopping speculation about possible names. Bookies are giving odds on them and pretty much everything else,…
