I’ll hit my stride in 50s, says Angelina
ANGELINA Jolie poses in a mac and reveals she’s gone from action star to being ordered off the trampoline by her worried children.
The actress is holed up at her LA home with her six children.
She tells Vogue: “They are quite resilient and they’re helping me but I’m not good at it at all.”
Angelina, 45, who starred as action heroine Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, believes she will “hit my stride” in her 50s.
But she jokes: “We were on the trampoline the other day and the children said, ‘No, Mom, don’t do that. You’ll hurt yourself’.
“There was a day I was an action star, and now the kids are telling me to get off the trampoline.”
Angelina, a UN Refugee Agency special envoy, adds of families fleeing war: “We should honour their fight. Honour the people who’ve fled bombs and protected their kids.”

is a mysterious bag full of Swedish banknotes said to have been found in a briefcase chained to the Duke’s wrist. Not much to go on there, and yet I contend that a meeting between the two men in Sweden makes much more sense than the official version, which is full of holes.
The inquiry verdict was pilot error, yet RAF Sunderland flight 4026 had the country’s finest pilots aboard and was mechanically sound.
Officially it had taken off from Invergordon half an hour earlier on a moraleboosting trip to the RAF in Iceland. But that doesn’t explain why it crashed into the hillside known as Eagle Rock in Caithness; there would have been plenty of time to reach a far greater altitude.
Perhaps it was returning from somewhere – Sweden for instance – and the crew were in difficulties. If the oxygen supply had been tampered with, they might have suffered hypoxia at high altitude and lost consciousness. It is a mystery that may never be solved.
Certainly there would have been those who wished the Duke dead if word of such a meeting had been leaked. Stalin wouldn’t have wanted a peace deal between England and Germany, nor would many among the Nazi leadership.
As for the other royal in this saga, Prince Philipp von Hessen, he fell foul of Hitler a year later and he and his wife were consigned to concentration camps.
Princess Mafalda died in an Allied air raid while her husband survived. After the war, he was sentenced to two years in jail and lost part of his fortune, then spent the rest of his life building up his art collection. He died in 1980 aged 83 taking any last secrets with him to the grave.
