The Duchess of Cambridge visited Family Action‘s South London HQ to launch a new national support line for families in need on Tuesday, and while she was there, she got real about the struggles every mother faces, even royals.The 37-year-old royal said: “Everybody experiences the same struggle. You get a lot of support with the baby years…particularly in the early days up to the age of about one, but after that there isn’t a huge amount-lots of books to read.” Kate and husband Prince William share Prince George, 5, Princess Charlotte, 3, and Prince Louis, 8 months. Since entering royal life, Kate has supported causes related to mental health and families. She also wore a stunning emerald dress by London-based Beulah, which is working to eradicate modern-day slavery. Beulah partners with NGO production companies to employ women who have survived trafficking, and also work to make sure forced labor does not exist at any level on the brand’s supply chain.

Glenn Close still feels as sexual as ever at 71, she tells the Guardian. Close, who just snagged her seventh Oscar nod for The Wife, says she loved showing her sexual side, something she thinks there should be more of on the big screen. The film plays a woman living in the shadow of her Nobel Prize-winning husband Jonathan Price. “It’s one of the great myths that you lose your sexuality as you get older,” she said.”I feel as free and as creative, as sexual and as eager, as I ever have. And it’s ironic because I’m thinking: ‘How much time do I have left now?’ There are so many things I’m interested in doing. It’s one of those ironies, I suppose, that we sometimes start feeling comfortable in our own skin only late in our lives, but hopefully with enough time to benefit from it.”Regarding her nomination for Best Actress in The Wife, she told Deadline: “I didn’t watch. It was not in the forefront of my mind. I felt like I was coming down with a cold last night so went to bed, and then found out because my younger brother walked into my room and woke me up. We are having celebratory pancakes this morning.”
