Now to Love

In an exclusive interview at her Gatcombe stables just days after her Olympic silver-medal performance, Zara Phillips spoke to The Weekly about wanting babies, life at home with Mike, and coming to Australia.

The Queen’s eldest granddaughter will visit Australia in January as an ambassador for the Magic Millions racing carnival on the Gold Coast.

Zara spoke of her desire to start a family, and her hopes that her children will follow in her footsteps.

“Obviously, everyone does think about that [having children],” she says.

“Hopefully, I would want my own children to ride.”

Until that day comes, it’s just Zara and her husband rugby player Mike Tindall at home.

Zara revealed she is quite domestic around the house, regularly cooking for her and Mike.

“I cook all the time,” says Zara.

“There’s no one favourite dish, but I do have to cook big portions for Mike!”

She also speaks of being an Olympian, and her love for horses.

“Probably everyone else would say that I consider them part of my family,” Zara says.

Does she prefer them to people?

“Sometimes,” she admits with a giggle.

Deborah Mailman: My childhood struggle

Now to Love

Deborah Mailman. Photography by Harold David, styling by Judith Cook.

Since she was a shy six-year-old, teased for her weight at school in Mount Isa, Deborah Mailman has struggled to learn to love herself.

Australia started falling in love with Deborah when she began her acting career 20 years ago, and she has finally fallen in line, accepting herself as well.

Whether Deb entertained your children (or helped you learn the time as a child) during her 1990s stint on Playschool, you followed her character Kelly through young adulthood in The Secret Life of Us, or caught up with her more recently as nurse Cherie in Offspring, there’s no doubt you’ve at some stage been captivated by her larger than life presence and infectious smile.

But to Deb wasn’t always the lovable, beautiful Australian woman we now know.

“I struggled with my weight pretty much since the age of six. Playgrounds can be really cruel places. I overcompensated by being especially nice to people, but deep down I was struggling a lot,” she tells the September issue of The Weekly.

“I discovered drama at school and loved the feeling it gave me,” she says.

“It’s a weird thing being an innately shy person and choosing to stand in front of people for a living. But just the feeling it gave me made me think that this is how I can contribute. This may be my gift.”

It’s a gift she’s shared with generations of Australians, and with the recent success of her latest film The Sapphires, it’s one that may take her even further from home and straight to Hollywood.

Chrissie Swan: I’m not ashamed of my size

Now with a husband, two kids and a burgeoning film career, the once-shy, bullied school girl might finally have it all.

“Have I ever,” she beams. “I can’t believe how much I’ve got it. I used to worry all through my 20s whether I was going to find my one. And then I met him and it just sort of happened.

Growing up royal: Zara Phillips’ life in pictures

Now to Love

Unlike William, Kate and Harry, Zara Phillips usually stays out of the spotlight, preferring the company of her horses and dogs to VIP rooms in nightclubs.

But next January, Zara will leave her canine and equine friends behind to visit Australia for the first time.

Her trip will give us a chance to get to know the Queen’s eldest granddaughter a bit better, and hopefully get a glimpse of the cheekiness that has made her a firm family favourite, particularly with cousins William and Harry.

While we wait for the arrival of the real thing, here are some of the best pictures of Zara and her royal relatives.

‘Submit’ wedding vows may be invalid

Now to Love

New marriage vows saying a women must 'submit' to her husband may not comply with Marriage Act.

New wives who have already promised to honour and “submit” to their husbands could find their marriages are not legally viable.

A proposal by the Anglican diocese in Sydney that a woman must pledge to “honour and submit to [her husband] as the church submits to Christ”, has sparked heated debate amongst social commentators and raised tensions within the church.

Now it has been found that as well as being sexist, the vows may also be illegal.

The proposed vows have been used by some Sydney churches within the Sydney Anglican Diocese, but have not been authorised by the Anglican Church of Australia.

Under the Marriage Act, a religious ceremony must use a service authorised by the religion’s governing body.

Considering suggestions from the an expert on church law, the Attorney-General has weighed in, responding to concerns of the wedding service’s compliance with federal laws.

“Under the Marriage Act, ministers of religion may use any form and ceremony recognised as sufficient for the purpose by their religious organisation, in this case the Anglican Church of Australia,” a statement from the Attorney-General’s office said.

The move to authorise the new vows has also prompted criticism within the church.

Archdeacon John Davis from the Wangaratta Diocese in Victoria, an expert in Anglican doctrine, raised concern over the legality of the vows, and recognised the wording carried “unpleasant connotations”.

As well as raising legal concerns, Dr Davis told the Sydney Morning Herald that the word “submit” had never been used as part of the marriage vow in the Book of Common Prayer, and questioned whether it was a valid substitute.

Dr Davis said it was even uncommon for brides to agree to use the word obey in their vows.

“In all my 35 years as a priest, I have only ever had one bride who even wanted to use the word obey, and she was 60 years old,” he said.

There has also been suggestions from within the church that the controversy may have to be settled in a national church tribunal.

Your say: Do you think the new vows should be authorised by the Church?

Brave bully victim: How he fought back

Now to Love

Schoolboy Dylan Raven is on a mission to stop the menace plaguing our kids.

Karen Raven thought her son Dylan was just being a typical teenage boy when he’d retreat to his room after school every day. At dinner time, he’d eat a little bit, then disappear again for the night.

“I just thought, at that age, maybe it was hormones,” says Karen. What the Broken Hill mother-of-two didn’t realise was that her son was the victim of extreme bullying at school.

“They’d say I’m ugly, I’m gay, I’m stupid – anything they could think of,” says Dylan, who explains that the verbal bullying, which began in his first year of high school, quickly escalated to frightening physical violence.

“I had my head smashed into a brick wall, and one science lesson I had a cable tied around my throat and tightened to the point where I could hardly breathe,” recalls the now 17-year-old student. “I was choked while I was standing in the canteen line, too.”

Tragically, for many bullied teens, ending their own life often seems like the only way to stop the torment.

“I did have those feelings,” admits Dylan. “But I didn’t do anything, because I know how it can affect people and families.”

Karen only found out about her son’s troubles when her cousin, who was looking after Dylan while he was sick, took him to the hospital. When asked about school, Dylan had a panic attack and revealed all.

“I was completely devastated,” says Karen. “It got me down that badly I was having sessions with a psychologist.”

It was through a psychologist that Dylan learned to open up about his experiences, although he admits, “It was really hard.”

Now in Year 11, Dylan’s days as a victim are over. Having moved schools in Year Nine, his grades have improved and he is much happier. He’s also helping others who aren’t so lucky, through his online Say No To Bullying campaign, which offers advice and support.

“It’s a good feeling knowing that you’re actually helping people – not only the victims but also the bullies – to realise the severity of what they’re doing,” says Dylan.

His message to other victims is simple. “If you don’t feel comfortable talking to your parents, talk to a close friend – tell them what has been going on and how you’re feeling.”

Dylan’s mum and his twin sister Shelby couldn’t be prouder of the stand he’s taken, and Karen urges other parents to encourage conversation with their children.

“Speak to them when they come home from school. If you notice one little change in the way they usually are, query them about it.”

Visit sn2bullying.blogspot.com.au to find out more and join Dylan’s campaign.

Another reason breast is best

Now to Love

Everyone knows breast milk is best for babies, and a new study has found yet another reason mother’s should try to use their own milk instead of formula.

Researchers at Duke University Medical Center found that breastfed newborns developed a healthier gut than those bottle-fed baby formula.

The study — published in the August issue of the journal Current Nutrition & Food Science — showed that breast milk encourages growth of microbiotic flora that boost the immune system and aid digestion.

“This study is the first we know of that examines the effects of infant nutrition on the way that bacteria grow, providing insight to the mechanisms underlying the benefits of breast feeding over formula feeding for newborns,” study leader Dr William Parker said.

Previous studies have shown breast milk can guard against allergies, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis and other illnesses.

It has also been proven to reduce the risk of diarrhoea, influenza and respiratory infections during the first year of life.

Researchers grew bacteria in breast milk, baby formula and cow’s milk. The bacteria grew in all specimens, but in very different ways.

In breast milk, bacteria formed in biofilms, thin layers of bacteria that act as a shield against harmful pathogens and infections.

The bacteria grown in the other milks multiplied steadily, but did not form a protective film.

Dr Parker and his team hope their research can be used to make baby formulas that better mimic breast milk to help mothers who can’t breast feed.

“Knowing how breast milk conveys its benefits could help in the development of infant formulas that better mimic nature,” he said.

“This could have a long-lasting effect on the health of infants who, for many reasons, may not get mother’s milk.”

Russell Brand dating Geri Halliwell

Now to Love

Could Russell Brand and Geri Halliwell be the perfect couple? According to friends of the pair they’re “a match made in heaven”.

The relationship between the Spice Girl and the comedian is said to have begun after they hit it off at the London Olympics closing ceremony, at which they both performed.

“Things are getting very serious between them – they’re a proper couple now,” a close friend of Russell told UK newspaper The Sun. “They had met several times in the past, but really got to know each other during the Olympics.

“People thought Russell was joking at the time, when he said he had a crush on Geri all over again, but it was true.”

Geri, 40, and Russell, 37, have enjoyed a number of dates, including a tour of Hampton Court Palace with Geri’s six-year-old daughter, Bluebell Madonna, over the weekend.

“They just clicked – they have so much in common,” the friend said.

Russell, who recently divorced singer Katy Perry, reportedly dumped American beauty Isabella Brewster earlier this month so he could be with the pop star.

Video to emerge of Prince Harry’s wild night in Vegas

Now to Love

Prince Harry made world headlines last week when naked pictures of him partying in Las Vegas were published on the internet. Now it has emerged there is video footage of the same night, which is about to be aired.

The 27-year-old prince was photographed naked after reportedly playing “strip billiards” with his friends and a group of girls in his private suite at the Wynn Hotel and Casino.

PICTURES: Prince Harry parties in Las Vegas.

“There is video of Harry partying naked with women in the Las Vegas hotel room,” a source familiar with the situation told Radar Online.

“There have been some very quiet inquiries to see how much the video is worth.

“If the video goes public, this could be the biggest royal scandal ever.”

Harry has already felt the effects of the leaked images. His new girlfriend, Cressida Bonas, is said to have been “humiliated” by his wild partying and has dumped him.

The royal family is also trying to settle the situation, with Clarence House first releasing a statement confirming that it is indeed the prince in the photos, before unsuccessfully trying to stop the images running in UK publications.

But it seems this scandal is far from over. A Las Vegas newspaper reveals that the nude photos of the playboy prince are just the beginning and that “something gigantic” is yet to be revealed.

“The video has not been shopped around yet, its existence is being kept as discreet as possible,” the source said.

“With all the attention the photos got, the people with the video know it could be worth a fortune.”

The footage was shot by one of those partying with the prince. It is not known if the video was taken by the same person who took the photographs.

VIDEO: Harry races Olympian Ryan Lochte.

The question is what does the video actually show? According to one eyewitness, who was with the prince the night the naked photos were taken, drugs and alcohol were used by people in the hotel room.

“Things got pretty crazy in Prince Harry’s suite that night. Everyone was drinking and drugs were also being used by some people,” an eyewitness, who wished to remain anonymous, told Radar online.

“Some people were snorting cocaine.

“Some were already rolling on shrooms (hallucinogenic mushrooms) when they arrived at the party, and some were just high on weed. And that’s exactly why no-one there has come forward on the record… they don’t want to be implicated for any illegal activities.”

The witness said they did not see Prince Harry partake in any drug use and that they were not with him for the entire evening.

No doubt the Palace will do whatever it takes to ensure the video is never made public and although it could cause an enormous privacy lawsuit, it could also sell for a very high price.
