"Announcing the Duchess: Meghan's Comic Self-Importance Reaches New Heights" This week in royal news with Mark Francis
Meghan Markle has someone announce "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex" when she enters a room—even when she appears to be the only other person there. The Harper's Bazaar detail prompts accusations she's risen to "comic levels of self-importance," with one critic comparing it to the SNL sketch announcing "Lord and Lady Douchebag."
She also admits she invited herself to Balenciaga's Paris show. The Kardashian fallout deepens as Kris Jenner reportedly "cannot let slide" the photo deletion request, planning to freeze out the Sussexes from Hollywood. Bethenny Frankel delivers brutal analysis: they tried to put "50 pounds of shit in a five-pound bag." Questions emerge over whether Meghan kept a designer dress from a 2022 photoshoot. Harry felt like "fish out of water" at Jenner's party and now wants to bring the children to UK against Meghan's wishes. Meghan films Thanksgiving video wearing $247,000 in jewelry while glazing turkey in satin gown—in a rented mansion, not her home.
The BBC received 728 complaints for calling Kate "Kate Middleton." Kate extends olive branch to Beatrice and Eugenie with carol service invites. Prince George "loved" the apple juice Kate's friend sent home. Andrew ignores Congress testimony request, still eating alone at massive table with silver service. William plans to strip titles from non-working royals and scrap "ridiculous" traditions like velvet robes. Duke of York title likely retired forever—Louis won't get it.
Plus: AI deepfakes of the Queen rapping, Diana had tabloids smuggled into palace, and the monarchy adapts while others wonder what adaptation actually requires.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.160
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Weekly. I
2
00:00:11.160 --> 00:00:14.839
am your host, Mark Francis. There are many ways to
3
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.719
enter a room. You can walk in quietly, you can
4
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.879
make a grand entrance, or if you're Megan Mirkle, you
5
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:23.920
can have someone announce your presence, even when you appear
6
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.480
to be the only other person there. Harper's Bizarre writer
7
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.519
Caitlin Greenwich described arriving at a friend's Upper east Side
8
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.079
home to interview the Duchess, noting, when I enter the house,
9
00:00:34.119 --> 00:00:38.640
manager announces Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, even though we appear
10
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:41.000
to be the only other two people in the house.
11
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.399
That single line has prompted a firestorm. One user on
12
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.600
x asked, wait is this a direct quote from the interview?
13
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.600
Others accused Meghan of clinging to her title, with one
14
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.399
comment reading didn't she see in the Oprah interview that
15
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.520
titles meant nothing to her? Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told
16
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.399
The Daily Man, I have often felt that Meghan took
17
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:06.319
too hard Oscar Wilde's dictum to love oneself is the
18
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:10.319
beginning of a lifetime's romance. He argued the exchange would
19
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.359
make a wonderful skit in the South Park series, adding
20
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.760
that it speaks volumes about the importance Meghan attaches to
21
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:21.319
her royal status. Fitz Williams noted that the Ettica dictates
22
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:24.159
the visitor should be announced to the royal not the
23
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.959
other way round, so this breaks protocol. It also makes
24
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:32.599
it look silly. He referenced the twenty twelve Olympics opening ceremony,
25
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:36.760
saying someone is obviously announced. When say, James Bond arrives
26
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.920
to escort Queen Elizabeth to the Olympics, he has announced
27
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:43.959
as mister Bond, your majesty, and then he enters. Perhaps
28
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.079
the most direct criticism came from Kristin Fleming, writing for
29
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.640
The New York Post, under the headline Megan Michael has
30
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:52.439
risen two truly comic levels of self importance in her
31
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.519
ridiculous Harper's Bizarre interview, Fleming wrote, you seriously can't just
32
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.359
open the door yourself. Maybe give your friend's help the
33
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.879
day off. The scene immediately conjures up the old Saturday
34
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.599
Night Live sketch in which Garrett Morris, playing a crier
35
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.840
at a Victorian era ball announces the arrival of Lord
36
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.879
and Lady douchebag. The interview also drew attention to Meghan's
37
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:18.240
confirmation that she personally initiated contact to appear at Balenciaga's
38
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.000
Paris Fashion Week show. Reports have suggested Prince Harry was
39
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:25.919
uneasy about Meghan attending without a formal invitation, citing concerns
40
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.039
over security and the optics of an unannounced appearance. In
41
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.120
The Royalist, Tom Sykes suggests Meghan's frantic insistence on the
42
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.400
title of Duchess is an attempt to imprint her family's
43
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:43.319
royal connections on the public before their inevitable removal. He writes,
44
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.319
Meghan's strategy is to use the titles more, not less,
45
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:49.759
across the private, commercial, and pr planes of her existence
46
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:54.639
to try and imprint them on the public mind. Meanwhile,
47
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.360
the fallout from Chris Janner's birthday party continues. According to
48
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.120
heat Wild, Chris and Kim now fill the formal or
49
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.199
Royals still see themselves as somewhat superior to the grafters
50
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.240
of Tinseltown, and the request for candid photos to be
51
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:12.000
taken down is something Chris cannot let slide. One insider
52
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.520
said to her, it says everything she needs to know
53
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:17.719
about them. She's had plenty of people use her connections
54
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.120
in her lifetime. Many more have tried, but she's at
55
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.960
a point where that doesn't really happen anymore, because as
56
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.520
soon as she spots it, she cuts the relationship off
57
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.479
and lets all of her influential friends know. So Harry
58
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.479
and Meghan should take note of that. We asked our
59
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.120
Royal inside a deep crown about this. Usually he isn't
60
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.039
very interested in Sussex gossip, but we did get a reaction.
61
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.080
One has to marvel at the extraordinary naivete, or perhaps
62
00:03:43.159 --> 00:03:47.639
it's calculated audacity of imagining that an event hosted by
63
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.240
Chris Jenner would somehow qualify as an intimate camera shi affair.
64
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.360
The woman has built an empire on the strategic deployment
65
00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:58.919
of imagery. Did they suppose the photographers were there for
66
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:03.639
mister Bezos's private scrapbook? And insider told Closer that Harry
67
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.520
felt distinctly out of place at the Bond themed party.
68
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.319
From Harry's perspective, it was surreal to be hanging out
69
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.960
with that crowd, and not in a good way. Everyone
70
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:13.759
could see he was like a fish out of water
71
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.319
and found the whole experience awkward. He's got nothing against
72
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:21.800
the Kardashians, but partying with reality stars and influences isn't
73
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.639
what he imagined for his life when he moved to America.
74
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:29.079
Bethany Frankel offered a sharp analysis of the Sussex brand.
75
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.879
When she first saw Meghan and Harry and US Weekly,
76
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.040
she texted Meghan's ex husband, Trevor Engelson to confirm it
77
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.600
was his ex wife. In their exchange, Frankel asked, do
78
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.759
you think she'll close, to which Engelson immediately responded, oh,
79
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:49.079
She'll close. Frankel emphasized their strategic missteps, stating they tried
80
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.759
to put fifty pounds of shit in a five pound bag,
81
00:04:52.040 --> 00:05:01.360
attempting to simultaneously tell multiple conflicting narratives victimhood, triumph, freedom, exile, glamour, humanitarianism, privacy, exposure.
82
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.160
She pointed out the absence of expected high profile support.
83
00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:07.439
I don't know what happened to Marlin George. Where are
84
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:11.639
the Beckhams? The Obamas should have been their people. Regarding
85
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.959
the Kardashian Party photos, Frankel offered this observation, they couldn't
86
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.839
resist the temptation of going, but also wanted to resist
87
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:22.759
the temptation of showing you can't ride two horses. At
88
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:28.040
the same time, questions have also been raised over whether
89
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.920
the Duchess retained items from a past magazine shoot. Megan
90
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:35.199
appears in an emerald green GalF and gown in a
91
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.279
new Netflix promotional clip. The same dress she wore during
92
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:43.079
a twenty twenty two Variety photo shoot the journalist Vanessa
93
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:49.000
Griogardess has claimed was not returned. Greorgardess expressed surprise at
94
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.879
the allegation, saying, what's shocking is that somebody who is
95
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:55.279
living in a fifteen million dollar plus mansion in Montecito,
96
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.879
who's just had one hundred million dollar deals would care
97
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.480
enough to take home and jewelry and clothes from a
98
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.519
photo shoot that she can clearly afford. Meghan faced fresh
99
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.560
criticism after releasing the trailer for her Netflix Christmas special
100
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.160
at the same time, the Prince and Princess of Wales
101
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.800
were attending the Royal Variety performance. In The Telegraph, Judith
102
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.879
Woods writes right on que as the Prince and Princess
103
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:22.000
of Wales made their glittering entrance at the Royal Variety show, Meghan,
104
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:25.720
Duchess of Montecito, frantically attempted to upstage them with a
105
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:30.560
bizarre tradwife routine worthy of Stepford. Woods also noted that
106
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.480
at no point in the trailer did the sea word
107
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.279
cross Megan's lips. Not when she was lacking about in
108
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.079
the Christmas tree lot, not when cobbling together a wreath,
109
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.920
not even when laying out cookies. The Father Christmas, our
110
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.959
Royal inside a deep Crown, shared his thoughts. His Majesty
111
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:46.879
takes his role as head of the Anglican Church with
112
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:52.399
considerable seriousness. It's not merely ceremonial pageantry, but a sacred duty.
113
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.879
To studiously avoid Christmas while training on one's proximity to
114
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.160
the monarchy strikes one as having rather carefully considered at
115
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.800
which elements of royal heritage prove profitable and which might
116
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:08.399
be inconvenient. Meghan's holiday special was not filmed at the
117
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.160
Sussex's own Montecito home. Instead, the Netflix production takes place
118
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.279
in a rented mansion roughly two miles from their residence.
119
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.720
Meghan explained to people, I wanted to protect that safe haven.
120
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.480
Our kitchen is where Mama just cooks for the family,
121
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:23.680
and with a crew of eighty plus people, that's a
122
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.199
lot of people. To have in your house for Thanksgiving.
123
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.800
Meghan used the as Ever newsletter to share a curated
124
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.759
glimpse of preparations, including a video showing her in a
125
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:37.480
Burgundy holiday gown glazing a turkey. Her accessories left to
126
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:42.199
the overall value considerably the Lorraine Schwartz pinky ring estimator
127
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:46.839
between sixty two and seventy thousand dollars, her Cartier Justin
128
00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:51.120
Glue necklace valued at eighteen thousand, seven hundred, her Cartier
129
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.000
Love bracelet eight thousand dollars, and her engagement ring estimated
130
00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:58.040
at around one hundred and fifty thousand. In total, the
131
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.279
outfit and jewelry amounted they do just over two hundred
132
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:04.800
and forty seven thousand dollars. One user on ex wrote,
133
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:09.720
nothing screens authenticity quite as remarkably as a woman basting
134
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.920
a chicken in a satin frock without an apron. More
135
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:19.439
palasy just a moment. Prince Harry is said to be
136
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:23.360
considering bringing Prince Archie and Princess Lillabit to Britain more regularly,
137
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:27.360
even if Megan disagrees. According to Radar Online, Harry is
138
00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:30.120
determined that his children maintain a genuine link to their
139
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:34.240
British roots. One source remarked, He's focused on making sure
140
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.279
his kids don't lose their connection to the UK. He
141
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.240
won't let anyone stand in the way of that, not
142
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:42.080
even his wife, no matter what consequences that has for
143
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:46.480
their marriage. Sources describe Harry as intent on repairing what
144
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.360
they call years of negativity surrounding his rare visits. As
145
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.200
one insider put it, Harry misses sports and going out
146
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:55.120
to the pub with his mates. He sees it as
147
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.919
part of himself and his culture, and he wants a
148
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:02.759
good drink up this Christmas. Selfridge's has unveiled its new
149
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:06.679
royal themed Christmas decorations, but Harry and Meghan are noticeably absent.
150
00:09:07.000 --> 00:09:11.279
The retailer's festive range features glass baubles modeled on King Charles,
151
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.960
Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Catherine, and even Diana. However,
152
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:19.000
there are no ornaments of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
153
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:23.679
The BBC has disclosed it received seven hundred and twenty
154
00:09:23.720 --> 00:09:28.480
eight complaints about references to Kate Middleton rather than her
155
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.279
formal title during Armistice Day coverage. We remind lesseners that
156
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.320
casually referring to the Duchess of Sussex's simply Megan Markel
157
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:39.279
seems to offend fewer people. The Princess of Wales has
158
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.440
offered a simple explanation for her noticeably lighter hair sunshine.
159
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:47.120
Speaking backstage at the Royal Variety performance, she told actress
160
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:49.720
Sue Pollard, it used to be brown, but it's gone
161
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.679
light in the sunshine. Apparently the Princess has never been
162
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:57.320
outside before prior to this summer. The Princess of Wales
163
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:00.000
is said to be extending quiet invitations to Princess Beatrice
164
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:03.279
and Princess Eugenie for her annual Christmas Carol service, a
165
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.519
gesture that Royal observers suggests reflects her determination to keep
166
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:12.000
the wider family connected during a turbulent year. Royal commentator
167
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.559
Neil Shawan said the invitations were deliberately personal, adding that
168
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.039
the Princess believes in not assigning Blaine. The idea is
169
00:10:19.039 --> 00:10:21.080
that the sisters would make a low key entrance in
170
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:24.720
show support. A new symbol of the Prince and Princess
171
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.000
of Wales has quietly emerged. The revised conjugal coat of
172
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:32.120
arms appeared in the program for this year's Royal Variety performance.
173
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:36.519
The earlier version, unveiled in twenty thirteen, united their individual
174
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:39.840
shields for the first time. The updated design reflects their
175
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:42.759
positions its Prince and Princess of Wales, including the Prince
176
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:46.200
of Wales's feathers, the coronet of a Prince and peer,
177
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:52.360
and the traditional motto echdeine German for I Serve. The
178
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.159
Princess of Wales issued a deeply personal appeal to mark
179
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.039
the start of Addiction Awareness Week, urging the public to
180
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:02.279
reconsider assumptions about tency. She said addiction is not a
181
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:05.639
choice or a personal failing, but a complex mental health
182
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:08.759
condition that should be met with empathy and support. The
183
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.039
stigma surrounding those who face addiction allows it to thrive
184
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:18.039
behind closed doors, impacting families and communities and ultimately ruining lives.
185
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.600
Roman Camp revealed that his friendship with the Princess led
186
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:25.679
to an unexpectedly homely afternoon when she visited his parents' home.
187
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:27.879
So my mum raced out and got a load of
188
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.200
nice things in and suddenly the future Queen is having
189
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.559
tea and biscuits with her and my dad, Roman told
190
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:36.519
the son. He recalled that the Princess immediately noticed that
191
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:39.679
relaxed atmosphere and offered to take her shoes off. It
192
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:41.879
was surreal somehow, you never expect to see a member
193
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.279
of the royal family in their socks. The visit ended
194
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.600
with a small gift, a bottle of the apple juice
195
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.399
that Camps to press in their garden. A note arrived
196
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:52.519
from the Princess, thinking the family and adding that Prince
197
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.399
George loved the juice and is there any chance of Moore.
198
00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:00.519
Andrew mount Patten Windsor reportedly has not resipponded to a
199
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:03.720
request from members of the United States Congress to testify
200
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:08.000
about his association with Jeffrey Epstein. Democratic lawmakers had written
201
00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:10.799
to him on November sixth, asking for a reply by
202
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:14.519
November twentieth. Sources told The Telegraph that no response had
203
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:18.799
been received. Under US law, Congress cannot compel testimony from
204
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:24.600
foreign nationals living overseas. Insiders insist Andrew's lifestyle is very
205
00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:28.720
much still intact. One source told Closer Andrew is still
206
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:31.720
acting completely entitled. He still wants to be the man
207
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:34.399
of the manner and is insisting on being waited on
208
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:36.759
hand and foot, at a great cost to the King's
209
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:40.039
own personal coffers. Every day starts with a fully cooked
210
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:43.039
breakfast prepared by his personal chef and laid out in
211
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.120
royal style, with enough to feed a small army, even
212
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:49.440
though most times it's just Andrew eating all alone at
213
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.840
the head of his massive table. Andrew being spotted horse
214
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:54.919
riding on the grounds of Windsor Castle did not go
215
00:12:55.039 --> 00:12:58.799
over well. One source said, it's really not a good look.
216
00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:01.279
The King won't be happy that his brother has been
217
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:04.960
photographed riding in the grounds of Windsor Castle, which after all,
218
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:08.759
is funded by the taxpayer that moved to Sandringham. Can't
219
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:13.080
come soon enough to get him away from Windsor More
220
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:20.159
palace weekly in just a moment. Prince William is reportedly
221
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:22.879
preparing for a sweeping overhaul of royal titles once he
222
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.879
ascends to the throne, with plans to strip prince and
223
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:29.320
princess style from non working members of the family. Sources
224
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:32.000
speaking to The Daily Beast claim William will issue new
225
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:35.840
letters patent early in his reign. Those affected will include
226
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.559
Prince Harry and Harry's children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
227
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:42.960
A source close to the situation explained William is clear
228
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:44.799
that if you're not working for the crown, you're not
229
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:47.440
carrying the titles. This is about drawing a firm line
230
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.679
between public duty and private life. It is believed King
231
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.159
William will also scrap what sources call ridiculous and totally
232
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:59.919
outdated traditions. Those elaborate velvet robes worn during ceremonies like
233
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.200
Order of the Garter. William finds them ridiculous roles like
234
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.720
Keeper of the Swans or Yeomen of the Glass Pantry
235
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:09.159
may soon be history. William has reportedly never been comfortable
236
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:12.840
with bowing and curtseying expected in royal circles, preferring a
237
00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:17.159
more natural greeting style. Julie Cleverton, who spent over three
238
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:21.759
decades working alongside King Charles, offered appointed comparison. The current
1
