Editor’s Letter

Letter of the month

In brief

Around the world

Inside The World Of Princess Catherine • Using extensive connections in the royal household, a new biography reveals the inner world of the popular Princess – including her relationship with the King, her reaction to ‘Megxit’ and her role in the late Queen’s farewell. We publish an exclusive extract here.

Jelena Dokic • From her earliest days, Jelena Dokic has battled bullies, starting inside her own family. But as she goes on a personal health journey, she finds strength in standing up for others – especially when it comes to body shaming.

Leap of faith • Gold-medallist Vanessa Low moved halfway around the world to marry the love of her life, Aussie para-sprinting legend Scott Reardon. Now, with two-year-old Matteo in tow, the Paris Paralympics will be a family affair.

Getting to know the real Celine Dion • Writer Chrissy Iley reflects on her friendship with the Canadian superstar in the wake of her devastatingly intimate documentary, I Am: Celine Dion, and her surprise comeback at the Paris Olympics.

Larry Emdur • This year, Larry Emdur celebrates 40 years on TV, 30 years of marriage and a milestone birthday too. Television’s most charming man and his wife, Sylvie, open their home to chat about love, legacy and the big surprise they didn’t see coming.

Raiders Of The Lost Art • The world’s museums house treasures gathered over millennia from all over the globe. But things get sticky when the original owners want them back.

Lesley Dumbrell “I’m Not Done Yet!” • Australian abstract painter and feminist art pioneer Lesley Dumbrell is having her first major solo retrospective in a state art institution at the age of 82. Here she looks back at seven decades of creativity.

Madam Peacekeeper • When Cheryl Pearce entered the Australian military in 1985, she and other women were seen as “diluting” the Army. Today, she holds one of the most senior positions in United Nations’ Peacekeeping.

A room of one’s own • More than 1.5 million Australians choose not to live with the person they love, and that number is growing. The Weekly meets three couples who’ve found that the best way to stay together is to live apart.

The great exhaustion • Cooked. Shattered. Zapped. Zonked. Why are we all so tired?

Read the room • While a book club is a great idea, our columnist may have a prescription for a group gathering that’s a real page turner.

Ray Martin “I can’t afford to waste one day’’ • Broadcaster Ray Martin has seen more tragedies than most people. As he approaches 80, he turns his journalistic curiosity to the most confronting life event of all – his own impending death.

My story “As my world clouds over” • While writing a novel about a woman whose sight was impaired, author Kate Forsyth’s own vision began to vanish.

Fashion

The new neutrals • As the season turns and flowers bloom, it’s time to let the sunshine into your wardrobe. Embrace flowing cuts, light fabrics, floral prints, and hues of green and cream.

Into The Blue • You can’t see it, you can’t feel it … but this is how blue light silently affects your skin.

Beauty News
