Her fiancée and clothing designer, Ramona Agruma, was by her side, capturing the moments with even more love. In her captions, Ramona used endearments like "my love" and "princess," showing her affection for Royce and the happiness she felt being part of this special day.</p> <p>We couldn't help but smile when watching the videos of the celebration. In one clip, Rebel and Ramona cried out "Happy Birthday, Roycie!" ... and the one-year-old responded with clapping hands, surrounded by pink balloons and presents. It was a moment of pure delight, capturing the innocence and joy of childhood.</p> <p>Although Wilson's work often keeps her in the United States, her heart remains in her native Australia. Currently, she is in Sydney directing her first movie, <em>The Deb</em>, and she made sure her family was with her during this exciting journey.</p> <p>In a world filled with uncertainty and challenges, Wilson surprised everyone last year by sharing the news that she had become a mom through a surrogate. She expressed her overwhelming pride and love for her daughter, describing her as a "beautiful miracle". She thanked everyone who had been a part of her journey and gave a special acknowledgment to her surrogate, who had carried and birthed Royce with grace and care.</p> <p>Rebel concluded by saying, "Thank you for helping me start my own family, it's an amazing gift. The BEST gift!! I am ready to give little Roycie all the love imaginable." And that love was evident in every moment of Royce's first birthday celebration.</p> <p><em>Images: Instagram</em></p>

“You destroyed my life”: Widow’s heartbreaking reply to man who killed her husband

<p>A man who bashed a grandfather in Adelaide to death with a hammer in front of his wife has been ordered to spend the rest of his life under mental health supervision.</p> <p>In May 2018, Steven Berg stormed the house of the couple and attacked 74-year-old Deon Hewitt who was cooking dinner with his wife, Patricia.

“You knew exactly what you were doing”: Talk show host bashes Duchess Meghan

<p><span>A talk show host has bashed Duchess Meghan, just days after the royal’s interview about her mental health and public scrutiny went viral.</span></p> <p><span>In the new documentary <em>Harry &amp; Meghan: An African Journey</em>, the Duchess of Sussex said living in the public eye as a new mother is “a struggle” and “not many people have asked if I’m okay”.</span></p> <p><span>“It’s hard,” the Duchess told journalist Tom Bradby. “When I first met my now-husband, my friends were really happy because I was so happy, but my British friends said to me, ‘I’m sure he’s great, but you shouldn’t do it, because the British tabloids will destroy your life’.</span></p> <p><span>“I would say, any woman, especially when they’re pregnant, you’re really vulnerable, and so that was made really challenging, and then when you have a newborn, you know – and especially as a woman, it’s a lot.”</span></p> <p><span>TV personality Wendy Williams hit out at the Duchess on Tuesday in a segment on <em>The Wendy Williams Show</em>.</span></p> <p><span>“Meghan, nobody feels sorry for you. You knew what you were signing up for girl!” Williams said.</span></p> <p><span>“You knew exactly what you were doing. And I applaud her plot-ation on the royal situation. But please, don’t try to garner sympathy from us. You knew what you were doing.”</span></p> <p><span>The host added, “Don’t be surprised that the paparazzi are everywhere, of course, because you’re now a royal.”</span></p> <p><span>In the interview with Bradby, Duchess Meghan responded to critics who argued that media scrutiny is just a <a href="https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a29551042/meghan-markle-responds-critics-media-scrutiny-documentary/">part of life as a public figure</a>.</span></p> <p><span>“I never thought that this would be easy, but I thought it would be fair,” the 38-year-old said. “That’s the part that’s really hard to reconcile.</span></p> <p><span>“When people are saying things that are just untrue, and they’re being told they’re untrue, but they’re still allowed to still say them, I don’t know anybody in the world that would feel like that’s okay.”</span></p> <p><span>At the end of the interview, the Duchess expressed gratitude for her family.</span></p> <p><span>“The good thing is I’ve got my baby and I’ve got my husband, and they’re the best.”</span></p> <p><span>Earlier this week, a royal source told <em><a href="https://www.etonline.com/wendy-williams-calls-out-meghan-markle-nobody-feels-sorry-for-you-134831">ET</a> </em>that the Duchess and her husband Prince Harry “are expected to take some extended family time off starting in November”.</span></p>
