The Queen's death, bad as that sounds, was not a major turning point for the rainbow papers and their fantasized little stories about the British royal family.

A few weeks later, everything is back to normal: Charles and Camilla are in a crisis because Camilla is said to be drinking too much, William and Kate are said to be having their fourth child, the usual, and the gentlemen on the cover are always smiling and flashing the earrings and tiaras photoshopped into the women's hair.

However, one of these beaming couples then amazed us, namely the one on the cover of the “Goldene Blatt”: “Fergie & Andrew – 2nd vows!

Love has won."

Prince Andrew, wasn't there something, Epstein, abuse allegations, demotion, all that unpleasant stuff?

Not a word about it in the “Goldene Blatt”.

On the photo montage, Andrew is even allowed to wear a uniform, which he was denied at the funeral service.

Should "The Golden Leaf" speculate with such court reporting to gain at least one new subscriber in Great Britain, it will probably be in vain: The prince is likely to be short of money, he probably only inherited the corgis.

renunciation of ladies-in-waiting

The efforts of the royal family to save money could also be a threat to the newspapers: "It is said that Camilla only wants to employ her personal assistants in the future and do without ladies-in-waiting," reports "Gala".

What sources should the magazines refer to when there are no longer any ladies-in-waiting or butlers to put intimate news in their mouths?

Fortunately, the German show celebrities like to chat themselves, recently increasingly in their own podcasts.

In one of these, Pietro Lombardi and his partner Laura Maria Rypa spoke about Lombardi's jealousy, which, according to "In", led to Rypa separating from him "five to six times" in a two-and-a-half year relationship: "You were even upset, when I went for a walk with my dog ​​at 10 p.m., didn't believe me, asked: 'Are you kidding me?'" Dog owners should jump to her side: It's by no means unusual to have to go out again at 10 p.m.

Lombardi only had to become suspicious if his loved one forgot to take the dog with him.

Ulla Kock am Brink tells of an early, unsuccessful relationship in the "Bild" newspaper: When she was 29, the man persuaded her to marry while on vacation in Thailand.

"I was too weak to say no," she recalls.

"I had diarrhea, felt miserable, resigned myself to my fate." Anyone who has had every application rejected so far can now smell the morning air: just wait until the sweetheart is flat with the flu or is hanging over the toilet bowl - then it should be with the resilience is no longer far away.

Everything a little blurry

Which leads us to the question: if you're looking for love, should you turn to alcohol?

Actor Christian Wolff was drunk when he met his Marina in a bar in 1973.

"Even if everything seems a bit blurry, I immediately asked for her number," he tells "Bild".

Such a situation harbors certain risks: perhaps he writes the number down incorrectly or later finds out that the lady of his choice obviously doesn't appeal to him as much.

On the other hand, Marina remembers: "He called that night and invited himself to my place for breakfast" - and a completely sober person probably wouldn't have dared to do that.

Reinhold Messner didn't make the very best impression on the first date with his current wife Diane.

"Instead of asking: What are your plans for life? I asked: Can you cook?" he admits in "Bunte".

Even trickier would have been: “Can you cook, wash, iron and shine shoes?” or “Are you good in bed?” The question, says Messner, “probably slipped out of insecurity”.

We could only have imagined an insecure Reinhold Messner at the moment when he meets the Yeti again, but he probably wouldn't have asked him about the cooking.

More intense than before

Actress Birte Glang reveals to the "Bild" newspaper how she and her husband keep up romance despite jobs and two sons (five years and eleven months old respectively): "We note our sex dates in the calendar.

That's why it's more intense than it used to be." We would be interested to know in which calendar you enter that.

The family planner in the kitchen could become a problem once the boys can read.

"What would Evelyn Burdecki (34) like if a fairy would grant her three wishes?

No, not a man,” says “Women's Week”.

“But: 1. Health for everyone.

2. That the war will finally stop.

And 3. Healthy teeth!” Nothing wrong, apart from the fact that Burdecki is giving away a wish here: healthy teeth are part of health for everyone.

So she could well and happily wish for a man after all.
