In Brief

Around the world

The love & loss that drives me • Renee Wright’s life is full to bursting. The TV presenter and mother of three talks openly to Emma Clifton about why she values the honesty of other mums, what she’s learned about helping children cope with loss, and her overwhelming love and gratitude for her thriving family.

Harry’s leap of faith • After months of talks, neither Prince Harry nor Her Majesty got what they wanted. Inspired by his mother, Harry followed his heart, but where does this leave the monarchy? Juliet Rieden unpicks an unprecedented royal split.

Money matters

From heartbreak to HOPE • Four months after fire tore through the beautiful Clarence Valley, Susan Chenery finds a close-knit community offering each other hope and slowly healing and rebuilding together.
