New Zealand Woman’s Weekly 1917

Sports stars and royals alike jostled to get near wildlife presenter Sir David Attenborough (92) at the launch of his highly anticipated new Netflix series Our Planet. The Prince of Wales (70), Duke of Cambridge (36), Duke of Sussex (34), David Beckham (43) and his son Brooklyn (20) – who actually landed a job filming on the series – were all on hand to support the legendary broadcaster. The series showcases some of the most stunning parts of the Earth, but Sir David warns we’re in grave danger of wiping out large areas of the planet. “What we do in the next 20 years will determine the future for all life on Earth,” he says.…

Well, it’s happened. Mother Nature has flicked that winter switch on and I’m now spending my time craving hot coffee and cocoa, and browsing the shops for new winter woollies. Luckily, this week our fashion director Leigh has done the legwork and found the perfect chocolate-colour ed coat and accessories (although I’m not sure my bank account would call it lucky!). Plus, Nici Wickes and our former food editor Annabelle White have whipped up all the chocolatey Easter treats you could ever dream of. Now that we have you well prepared for it, I hope you all have a warm, cosy and delicious Easter! Here at the Weekly, we’re looking forward to a little break too – although none of us are imagining that we’ll be able to relax entirely…

As one of the most popular royals, Prince William is used to operating in the glare of the public spotlight. But for the past three weeks, he has been quietly working on a top-secret assignment with the UK intelligence services MI5, MI6 and GCHQ. William, who trained in the British Army and worked in the Royal Air Force, described the experience as humbling. “These agencies are full of people from everyday backgrounds doing the most extraordinary work to keep us safe,” he said. “They work in secret, often not even able to tell their family and friends about the work they do or the stresses they face. “They are driven by an unrivalled patriotism and dedication to upholding the values of this country.
