00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.560
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue Game,

2
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:18.079
your host, Mark Francis. It seems Prince Harry and Meghan

3
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:21.519
Markel may be finding a new royal court, this time

4
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:25.760
in Palm Beach. According to Radar Online, the Duke and

5
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:29.280
Duchess of Sussex are growing increasingly close to Brooklyn Beckham

6
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:33.840
and Nicola Peltz, who have reportedly extended an open invitation

7
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.359
for Harry and Meghan to spend their summers at the

8
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:40.920
couple's lavish Florida compound. The friendship appears to be more

9
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.920
than just beachside cocktails and casual catchups. Insiders claim Megan

10
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.799
is eyeing Palm Beach as a potential hub for her

11
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:54.039
lifestyle brand, seeking support from the area's affluent social scene.

12
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.759
There are tons of networking opportunities. When tipster said the

13
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.520
fact that Nicola and her family have a mess compound

14
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:04.560
on the beaches just icing on the cake, a source added,

15
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:07.480
these four are thick as thieves and have been talking

16
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:11.079
about all sorts of collaborations. Brooklyn and Nicola are said

17
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.640
to be singing their praises, suggesting that budding alliance could

18
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.560
go well beyond dinner parties. The Florida move comes as

19
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:23.079
Harry and Meghan reportedly consider securing property in the Sunshine State,

20
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.640
a shift that would position Meghan nicely to become what

21
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.319
inside is chicily called the Queen of Palm Beach. Of course,

22
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.519
the new friendship emerges against a backdrop of fractured ties

23
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.040
with David and Victoria Beckham What's close with the Sussexes.

24
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.079
The Beckhams purportedly fell out with Harry and Meghan after

25
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.400
the Duchess allegedly accused Victoria of leaking stories to the

26
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.640
press last year, and now the older Beckhams are hanging

27
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:52.000
around with the senior royals back home. Brooklyn and Nicola

28
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.879
are currently on icy terms with David and Victoria, which

29
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:58.000
may explain why the younger Beckhams and the Sussexes are

30
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:03.000
now leaning into each other. New claims about Meghan Mikau's

31
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.959
relationship with Prince Harry and her role in their dramatic

32
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:10.639
royal exit are reigniting debate, with multiple reports alleging that

33
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.120
the Duchess of Sussex may have carefully engineered her royal

34
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:18.159
love story from the very start. According to an article

35
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.159
cited in Mint, Lady Elizabeth Anson, a cousin to the

36
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:27.360
late Queen, reportedly shared that Queen Elizabeth had reservations about Meghan,

37
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.039
Harry has bestarted and weak about women. The Queen is

38
00:02:31.039 --> 00:02:34.280
said to have remarked, we hope, but don't quite think

39
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.280
she is in love. We think she engineered it all.

40
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.240
The Queen also reportedly found Megan's give on she wedding

41
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:45.240
dress too white for a divorcee remarrying in church, a

42
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.639
quiet critique noted in The Daily Mail at the time.

43
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:53.120
Further insight from royal commentators paints a picture of skepticism

44
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.120
toward Megan from within the royal household. Lady Elizabeth Is

45
00:02:57.159 --> 00:02:59.919
said to her believe Megan didn't get along with Prince

46
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:03.080
William and Princess Kate, and that many people doubted if

47
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.639
Meghan was right for Harry. She added pointedly, Harry is

48
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:11.639
neither bright nor strong, and she is both. British. Author A. N.

49
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:15.159
Wilson suggested the contrast between the royal couples has only

50
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.800
become more evident over time. He argued that Kate has

51
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:22.759
served as Prince William's strength, while Meghan has reopened Harry's

52
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:26.400
emotional wounds instead of encourage him to shape his own

53
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.039
identity within the Royal family. Wilson said she has helped

54
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.560
him turn his back on it. Wilson's commentary comes alongside

55
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.280
claims from biographer Tom Bauer, who has long asserted that

56
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.199
Megan played a central role in shaping Harry's controversial memoir.

57
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.680
Spare Bower said the book was essentially Megan's, describing her

58
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:50.919
as the one who dictated this agenda. The criticisms don't

59
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:55.000
stop there. In a particularly scathing take, First Post labeled

60
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.080
Meghan an agent of destruction, accusing her of using Harry

61
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:03.240
to pursue hollow would level fame and likening her aspirations

62
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:07.240
to becoming the next Angeline Jolie. Her wedding guest list,

63
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.400
reportedly heavy on celebrities and light on family, were cited

64
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:14.000
as further evidence of that strategy. While Harry has always

65
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.319
credited Megan as his logical, physical, emotional, and spiritual inspiration,

66
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.639
critics argue she was also the driving force behind the

67
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:26.480
couple's most explosive public revelations, from the Netflix docuseries to

68
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.120
the memoir to ongoing tensions with the Royal family, it

69
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:34.199
remains a deep, polarizing narrative. For supporters, Meghan helped Harry

70
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.199
break free and speak his truth. For critics, she steered

71
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.800
him toward division and publicity at the cost of family size.

72
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.199
Whether the public sees her as a modern woman challenging

73
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:48.240
an outdated institution or as a calculating outsider is as

74
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:52.199
ever in the eye of the beholder. As whispers of

75
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:54.839
the potential royal return for Prince Harry and possibly Megan

76
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.879
continued to swell. A new Sunday Times Paul reveals that

77
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.240
for much of the British public, the answer to the

78
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:05.279
question would we welcome them back? Is complicated. According to

79
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.560
the Yugov survey, twenty four percent of respondents said they

80
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:11.040
view Harry moving back to the UK as a good thing,

81
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.079
but just as many twenty two percent think it would

82
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.480
be a bad idea. The largest response indifference, forty one

83
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:23.399
percent said they simply don't care. Sentiment toward Megan Michael, however,

84
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.959
was markedly cooler. While twelve percent welcomed the idea of

85
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.600
her return, a full forty one percent said it would

86
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.399
be a bad thing, with older Britons feeling most strongly.

87
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:37.600
Sixty four percent of the over sixty fives opposed her return,

88
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.879
compared to just seventeen percent of the eighteen to twenty

89
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.120
four year olds. So what would it take for Harry

90
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:48.160
to be truly welcomed back? Royal commentator Sarah Huston believes

91
00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:51.639
the answer lies within the family itself. It really depends

92
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.959
on how they come back and on what turns. It

93
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.000
would really take Charles as the King to pave the way,

94
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.399
much like Queen Elizabeth did for Camilla, argues, King Charles

95
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.720
could issue a statement or gesture that signals forgiveness and

96
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:08.680
the public might just follow. Forgiveness, in fact, appears to

97
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.279
be one thing the public supports. Forty four percent said

98
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:15.160
Harry should reconcile with his family, but the bigger hurdle

99
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.120
remains Prince William. According to sources cited by The Daily Beast,

100
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.720
William will never ever forgive Harry and absolutely hates what

101
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:27.040
he has seen as a betrayal. If that stance were

102
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:31.480
to change, it could dramatically alter the public mood. Former

103
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.240
Palace secretary Simon Lewis believes the goodwill isn't gone. There

104
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.959
is still a reservoir of sympathy for Harry, but a

105
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.879
lot needs to be resolved before a proper return can

106
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:46.199
be discussed. Historian Tessa Dunlop adds a cultural dimension, comparing

107
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:49.560
the saga to a romantic breakup. They dumped us and

108
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.279
it was painful, but we loved them. If we didn't care,

109
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:56.759
we'd stop talking about them. While Meghan remains a polarizing figure,

110
00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:01.240
especially with older generations, support among younger Britain's suggests a

111
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.800
shift in tone may come in time. Queen Camilla, once

112
00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:08.560
branded a royal outsider, herself, might even play a crucial

113
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:10.839
role in helping to brok he a truce if she

114
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.639
believes it would bring peace in her husband's later years. Still,

115
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.839
it's worth remembering the Sussex's were booed at Queen Elizabeth

116
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:23.600
the Second's Platinum jubilee. Repairing that divide won't happen overnight,

117
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:26.879
but with the Invictors Games returning to the UK in

118
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.839
twenty twenty seven, some see a golden opportunity the Invictus

119
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.399
Games as the best of Harry Howston said, if you're

120
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:35.399
going to have a big reunion, that is a pretty

121
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.160
safe space in which to do it. What Palace in

130

crime fans. Prince William maybe the future king, but it

131
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.279
seems Princess Anne, which is he'd pull a bit more

132
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.079
royal weight in the meantime. In a new profile ahead

133
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.920
of her seventy fifth birthday, These Sunday Times reports that

134
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.160
Anne is quietly irritated that she's still handling the bulk

135
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:27.040
of investiture ceremonies, those formal occasions where honors are handed out,

136
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.319
especially since William lives just down the road from Windsor Castle,

137
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:34.000
where many of these events are held. She's still doing

138
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.480
most of the investitures at Windsor, even though William lives there.

139
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.159
It annoys her, a source close to the princess told

140
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:43.799
the paper. Several sources suggest Anne would like to see

141
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:46.039
William take on more of what they call the bread

142
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:49.919
and butter duties like those investitures, which she continues to

143
00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:54.600
handle with remarkable stamina. Only three royals, King Charles, Ann

144
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:58.159
and William can lead such ceremonies, and while Charles is

145
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.679
juggling his own reduced schedule health issues and William is

146
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.799
either on vacation or managing a tightrope of royal responsibilities

147
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:08.919
in family life, it's Anne who keeps quietly shouldering the load.

148
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.279
True to form, Anne has reportedly opted to celebrate privately.

149
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.399
She and her husband, Sir Timothy Lawrence, are expected to

150
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:19.519
spend about ten days sailing around the Western Scottish Isles,

151
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:23.399
a tradition they've upheld for years. She told us she

152
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.080
would do things for birthdays that had zeros, but not

153
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.159
for the fives, said an aid. One friend added, they

154
00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.399
go every May in August and have done it for years.

155
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:33.600
How many couples could go out to see that often,

156
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:35.799
just the two of them and still be speaking to

157
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:39.399
each other. She loves it and they have it. Trying
