After months of keeping a low profile following the devastating loss of her and husband Prince Harry's £18m Spotify deal, Meghan Markle's recent publicity campaign appears to have paid off. Her frequent appearances over the last few weeks - with Harry at the Invictus Games, attending Kevin Costner's starstudded fundraiser in Santa Barbara and hosting a panel in New York for World Mental Health Day earlier this month - had followed speculation by royal experts that the Duchess was determined to revive her Hollywood career.

RELATIONSHIPS STOP FEELING TAKEN FOR GRANTED In a long-term relationship, you can feel like you're not really appreciated by your partner anymore. It's time to change that The relationship honeymoon phase typically lasts between six months and two years and is a time of excitement, passion and chemistry. Feel-good hormones flood our bodies like a big love drug, but it comes to an end. Familiarity kicks in and things don't feel particularly special. As we get so caught up in the routines of living together, we can put our partner at the bottom of our priorities list - but relationships take effort every single day. That doesn't have to mean massive gestures. It can be as simple as asking, “How are you? Is there anything on your mind?” If we…

Now she's working with online learning tool, Quizlet, to help stressed-out students understand that the path to success is often littered with failure. Elizabeth, 44, says, “If you reframe failure, you can see it as a learning process that redirects us on to a more successful path. Failure is what makes us human, but if we respond to the knockbacks appropriately and see them as something that can carry some meaning, every knockback can be a set-up for a comeback.” Here, she shares her tips.

For us LTSs (that's Long-Term Singles), the dating process often feels like Groundhog Day - we're on a carousel of disappointment and, well, discontentment too! We all know the drill: you download a dating app, speak to a few people, meet up with a couple, it goes nowhere, you delete the app only to start the entire process again and again.
