Cressida Bonas Has Cover of Oz "Women's Weekly"...
Hi Everyone,
I don't normally take an interest in the Prince Harry threads, but thought those who follow him might like to know that Cressida Bonas is the cover - full cover, close-up photo- on the next month's Australian "Women's Weekly" - due out tomorrow.
This is our "serious" female magazine in Australia that is published only monthly, (despite it's name), and it is being previewed on the afternoon news here in Oz, (Wednesday 22nd here, so this will be the February issue they are discussing).
Cover line is "The Girl Dating Prince Harry" and has her name and refers to her secret Sydney holiday.
Lovely photo - though I don't think many Australian's would know who she is.
Someone here must either think she's "important" enough to be brought to our attention, (or maybe it's like the hot cross buns appearing in our supermakets for the last few weeks - Christmas is over, so it must be Easter; William and Catherine are coming, so we're all gearing up for anything with a Royal connection).
Best Wishes All, Sun Lion.
P.S. Couldn't see this online yet, but it should appear when it's in the newsagencies from tomorrow.
February issue with Valentine's Day also mentioned on the cover, so maybe that came into the editor's thinking when choosing the cover.
(The "Women's Weekly" sits on stands for four weeks competing against many, many weekly women's magazines here - with new issues released on Mondays, and for others, on Thursdays - so the cover shot has "hold it's own" against the ever changing other magazines. Getting the cover is a big deal really.)
PP.S. Don't think Cressida could have given an interview, if she had, the cover line would have been "exclusive interview" etc.
The cover is usually reserved for those who have given an exclusive to the mag - CP Mary's covers for example are always tied to an interview from her.
PPP.S. Friday 24th - I checked it out while doing my groceries. Twelve page article. (Usually no more than six pages for "big" stories in most issues.)
