Kate Middleton’s joy: It’s baby time!

Now to Love

The Queen’s given the newly reunited Kate and Wills her blessing to start a family.

It’s all systems go for a Diamond Jubilee baby for Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge. The Queen has given the royal lovebirds her blessing to start a family “as soon as possible”, reveals a very close friend of the couple, who has known them since their university days in Scotland. “They are absolutely thrilled.”

With the helicopter-pilot prince now home from six weeks in the Falklands, “Kate and Wills are looking forward to spending a lot of quality time together,” confides the friend. “Kate has missed Wills a lot. It’s been difficult having her husband so far away, but she’s kept busy.” The duchess has thrown herself into her role as a royal with a string of appearances, as well as catching up with old friends.

“But more than anything she’s been bonding with the Queen while Wills has been away,” confides the friend, speaking exclusively to Woman’s Day. “They’ve really become rather close.” Kate has had frequent private meetings with the Queen at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace, where Her Majesty has been passing on the knowledge she’s gained from her 60 years as monarch.

“The topic of conversation also turned to babies,” reveals the friend. “The Queen let Kate know that her Diamond Jubilee celebrations would be even more memorable if Kate were to fall pregnant. Kate was a little embarrassed at first, but afterwards she couldn’t wait to tell Wills what his granny had said. He thought it was hysterical. They’d been prepared to put off pregnancy plans because they didn’t want to steal the spotlight.”

Is Liz Hurley the coolest step-mum ever?

Now to Love

Liz and Brooke together at the unveiling on the Shane Warne statue.

Liz Hurley introduces Shane’s daughter to the finer things in life – hot men and Hermés!

It’s every teenage girl’s dream – hanging out in New York with the stars of Gossip Girl. And if your future stepmother just happens to star in the hit TV series, well, it might just come true!

Much to the envy of adolescent girls everywhere, Brooke Warne – Shane’s eldest daughter – got to live the dream last week when Shane’s fiancée, supermodel Liz Hurley, invited her on set.

“Shooting Gossip Girl today with my future teenage stepdaughter Brooke in tow. Her first time on a set, so all very exciting!” Liz tweeted. Brooke, 14, an avid fan of the teen drama series, didn’t need to be asked twice, and was in seventh heaven meeting Liz’s glamorous – and hunky – co-stars.

Ever the protective dad, Shane was also on hand to make sure his little girl didn’t get too carried away. “My daughter just met Chace Crawford, Leighton Meister [sic] & Ed Westwick on set.. Her quote: Chace is so hot, he’s better than food,” Shane tweeted.

See the exclusive pictures of Liz and Shane’s daughter Brooke in this week’s Woman’s Day on sale Monday March 26, 2012.

Pete Evans tames his wild woman

Now to Love

Now she’s hooked up with the famous chef, Nicky’s promised to wear knickers and remove her implants!

My Kitchen Rules judge Pete Evans seems to have used his trademark tough love to tame his new girlfriend, Kiwi bikini babe Nicky Watson, who has admitted to using hard drugs, undergoing multiple boob jobs and having threesomes!

“It’s safe to say Nicky was considered one of the wildest women in New Zealand, before she packed up and moved to Bondi,” confirms one Kiwi socialite, who did not wish to be named. “This is a woman who is best known for not wearing knickers!”

These days Nicky, 35, appears to be keeping her underwear on as she continues to reinvent herself, even telling friends she wants her breast implants removed. During an infamous 2007 TV interview, Nicky admitted attempting suicide, undergoing three breast augmentations, using hard drugs, having threesomes, watching pornography from a “young age” and forgetting to wear undies at the races. She also had her nipple pierced on a prime time documentary.

But following a string of controversies and failed romances with rock stars, millionaires and football players, she moved to a small New Zealand town to work in a beauty parlour. “I don’t want to make a living off my former image,” she told a New Zealand paper last year after adopting the name “Nicola Robinson” and becoming a virtual recluse. “I am NOT Nicky Watson. I am so far from that person. I have no attachment to that person any more. I don’t want to be associated with Nicky Watson. I live a very quiet life.”

Jim Stynes: Legacy of a legend

Now to Love

He touched the lives of so many, but most inspiring of all was the love he had for his family, which deepened as he fought the cancer that claimed him last week.

Jim Stynes was feted by politicians and superstars alike, but the great man only had eyes for his devoted wife as he quietly slipped away last week. Weak and resigned, there was no fight left. The Irish-born humanitarian looked around his bedroom at the tight-knit group of family and friends gathered, then focused on the love of his life, Sam, saying with his eyes what words could no longer manage.

Anyone who knew Jim will attest the 45-year-old adored his beautiful wife, the mother of his cherished children Matisse, 12, and Tiernan, 7. But it was during his long struggle with cancer that Jim realised just how deep that love was. “Getting cancer has led me to a better life,” the big fella with the even bigger heart confessed in the documentary on his battle with a melanoma which had spread to his brain, lung and legs by the time it was diagnosed. “I love my wife more than I used to. I love my kids more than I used to.”

Samantha also saw this difference, saying that facing his mortality had given Jim a heightened sense of what really matters in life. “Jim’s tooth-and-nail fight to live is continuing to enrich the quality of his life,” Sam said during his battle. “While I’ve told him he’s turned out to be a bit of a dud as a husband, I too am so genuinely appreciative of the personal growth, wisdom and happy times the journey brings with it. And just maybe that’s what life is really about.”

Cancer was an opponent even Jim couldn’t beat but, like his efforts on the football field and his tireless work with youth program REACH, he never threw in the towel. Jim spoke often about the “intense love” that surrounded him in the last year of his life and how his cancer had made him truly appreciate how blessed he was with family and friends, many of whom spoke out last week about the impact he’d had on their lives.

My son got stuck in a vending machine!

Now to Love

Adventurous toddler Noah Jeffrey found a novel way to get his hands on a new toy.

Louise Jeffrey always knew her three-year-old son, Noah, was blessed with an inquisitive nature. But the Victorian mum could hardly believe her eyes when she saw her little boy peering out from inside a toy vending machine at their local family restaurant.

So determined was the tot to grab a plaything, he had pushed through the retrieval gate, up the chute where the toys and lollies pop out and into the glass-walled claw machine. And far from keeping all the loot to himself, an unfazed Noah was happily passing the spoils through the chute to excited children outside.

“I never thought a child would be able to fit inside the chute,” Louise, 33, says. “We’ve gone to this restaurant many times because it has a safe playground for the kids to play in.” Taking her eye off her toddler for just a moment, Louise – who also has a son Harrison, 5, and is expecting her and husband Luke’s third child in July – turned back just in time to see Noah completing his climb.

“All the other kids gathered around the machine and made requests to Noah of which toys they wanted, so he was throwing them out,” she recalls. But with no key to the machine on site, and Louise fearing the heat and limited oxygen inside could take a dangerous toll on her son, the situation was no laughing matter.

Women make better bosses

Now to Love

Women in management have a reputation for being demanding and difficult but a new study has found they’re actually better bosses than men.

The survey found that women bosses were more democratic and easier to communicate with, allowing their employees to participate in decision-making and encouraging feedback on management policies.

“In line with known gender differences in individual leadership, we find that in workplaces with more women managers, more individualised employee feedback is carried out,” study author Eduardo Melero, a professor in the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid department of business administration, said.

“Likewise, we can see evidence, although weaker, that in these workplaces decisions are made more democratically and more interpersonal channels of communications are established.”

Melero studied data from the Workplace Employment Relationships Survey, a comprehensive study of UK workplaces.

He examined the number of women in management positions, and then studied the leadership strategies and performance of those companies.

He found that workplaces with a large number of female managers were far more democratic, using employee feedback in all decision-making.

As a result, those workplaces made better, more informed decisions and reported higher levels of employee satisfaction because workers felt like they were contributing to the company and having their voices heard.

The research was published in the Journal of Business Research.

William and Kate’s emotional reunion

Now to Love

William and Kate during their tour of Canada last year.

Prince William and Kate Middleton had an emotional reunion yesterday after seven weeks apart.

William returned to the UK after a seven-week tour of duty in the Falkland Islands and was met at the airfield by an excited Kate.

In pictures: Kate Middleton steps out in her mother’s dress

It was the longest time the couple have spent apart since their brief split in 2007 and Kate was said to be “thrilled” her husband was home.

William landed at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire and the couple drove straight to their two-bedroom cottage at London’s Kensington Palace for some quality time together.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expected to spend a few days in London before returning to their beloved rented farmhouse in Anglesey, Wales.

William will return to work next week, but has been given several days off to spend with his wife after their lengthy separation.

William flew to the Falklands on February 1 to complete a routine deployment with his helicopter search and rescue team.

His tour of duty was reportedly uneventful, unlike Kate’s seven solo weeks in the UK.

The Duchess of Cambridge undertook several high-profile engagements while William was away, including several joint trips with Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.

In pictures: Kate bonds with Camilla and the queen

She also delivered her first public speech since joining the royal family last April. To the delight of the crowd and royal watchers, a clearly nervous Kate spoke of her delight that William would be back by her side before long.
