That was my mum and dad’s money. But it wasn’t until my story, “ con artist of the century”, that her investors realised they were victims. Until then, they had been led to believe there was a problem with one disgruntled investor and that it would soon be sorted. Within hours of the AFP and ASIC raiding her Wallangra Road home in Dover Heights, Melissa Caddick vanished. Each month she sent her investors a statement purporting to be from online broker CommSec. Genuine accounts had eight-digit numbers. There was nothing on Facebook or Instagram. I learned she had recently closed her social media accounts. I was investigating a potential insider trading matter which had led to a raid on a prominent businessman’s home. It wasn’t clear why the corporate regulator was interested in her. And it was such a good story to talk about with people. As one psychiatrist told us, narcissists like Caddick “think they’re above everyone else, and they deserve to have the royal treatment. Everyone wanted me to dissect their theories and ask if I had inside knowledge about who kidnapped her, where she was hiding or who might have murdered her.

When it came to photography close to where the royal family sat, each news outlet nominates one person and then one name is picked at random by an independent body.

Prince Philip's memorial service was important to Queen Elizabeth — and she was heavily involved in its planning.
"It shows she wholeheartedly loves and believes her son," royal commentator Robert Jobson told People. "She has faith in Andrew.

“Marilyn made a point of adopting some of the Queen’s favourite brands, buying gloves from Cornelia James, perfume from Floris, and switching from Chanel No. 5 to Yardley’s Lavender. Marilyn made a point of asking the film’s PR manager to add a royal meeting to her schedule, but each day Olivier would delete the request.” Much was written about Marilyn Monroe’s dress at the Royal Film Performance—a gold lame evening gown with spaghetti straps a slinky skirt—and how uncouth it was to wear in front of The Queen. It has since gone up for auction and remains, like the white dress worn in The Seven Year Itch or the hot pink gown from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, an iconic part of the star’s wardrobe. Queen Elizabeth II has welcomed a dozen Prime Ministers from the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand; she’s met nearly every American President of her reign; she meets the movers and the shakers of the arts, politics, science worlds—but has there been a more iconic meeting than when The Queen met Marilyn Monroe, the queen of mid-century Hollywood?
