‘THINGS MAY HAVE TO CHANGE AS FAR AS JOINT APPEARANCES GO’ After initially trail-blazing their way through Hollywood following their split from the Royal Family and raking in multimillion-pound deals, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's earning power took a huge blow last week when it was revealed that they had parted ways with streaming giant Spotify. At the time, both the Sussexes and Spotify revealed they had mutually agreed to walk away from their 2020 deal, but in the following days, reports began to emerge that the top bosses had been left miffed by a lack of content from the couple, who'd originally been happy to shake hands on a staggering £15.7 million pay packet.

CLOSER'S NEW LIFE COACH ALL ABOUT YOU KEEP YOUR EXPECTATIONS IN CHECK TO BE HAPPIER Finland has been named the happiest country in the world for the sixth year running. One sociologist explains why Managing expectations is so important when it comes to happiness. Set your expectations too low, and, typically, you won't get very far. Set them too high and they're unattainable, so you end up feeling miserable and lacking in self-confidence. The Finnish, it appears, set realistic, balanced expectations. That's what we should be striving for. Say your long-term goal is to buy a new car by next year. Figure out what needs to happen. The short-term goal might be to get some extra shifts at work, the mediumterm goal may be to have saved £2,000 by the…

I'm glad presenter Naga Munchetty has opened up about her experience of adenomyosis, because it's a condition not many people will ever have heard of. It happens when the womb lining grows deep within the muscular wall of the womb, which is similar to endometriosis, where tissue similar to the womb lining starts to grow in other places, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes. Both conditions can cause extremely heavy and painful periods, and adenomyosis can cause bleeding, pain during and after sex and/or when going to the toilet. About 40 per cent of women with adenomyosis also have endometriosis. KNOW THE SIGNS Despite the fact adenomyosis is thought to affect as many as one in 10 women, Naga has raised the issue that there is no dedicated NHS…
