"Meghan was born and raised in Los Angeles so this is, and always will be, home to her."

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:09.880
Calorogus shark media. In today's news were Harry and Meghan
2
00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:12.919
offended by Justin Bateman, Why Harry and Meghan seemed to
3
00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.120
get everything wrong? And a really fun new nickname for
4
00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:23.760
Harry and Andrew. Hello and welcome to Pallas Intrigue. I
5
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:26.399
am your host, Mark Francis. A source close to Harry
6
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.800
and Meghan told Page six they found Justin Bateman's disaster
7
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:34.719
tourists tweet offensive. The insiders said it's offensive to Meghan
8
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:36.920
and Harry that anybody would think this is merely a
9
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:41.200
photo opportunity. The insider added, Meghan's heart is completely broken
10
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.079
for all the lives that have been lost, for those
11
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.280
whose homes have been destroyed in these fires. Meghan was
12
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:48.759
born and raised in Los Angeles, so this is and
13
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:53.320
always will be home to her. In The Independent, Tessa
14
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:56.359
Dunlop writes, there is good reason why Meghan Markle is
15
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.679
so bad at being good. Once more, the Sussexes are
16
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:02.719
damned if they do, damned if they don't. Over the weekend,
17
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:05.040
Harry and Meghan joined a host of a listers publicly
18
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.280
supporting relief efforts against the horrors of Los Angeles wildfires.
19
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:10.680
They were filmed on a walk about in the badly
20
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:14.879
affected Ortadina and Pasadena districts of the Showbiz City. Supplies
21
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:19.359
were distributed, masks worn, hugs administered, and kind words proffered
22
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.079
from the Pasadena mayor, Victor M. Gordo, who issued Fox
23
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.519
viewers the couple had boosted morale to no avail. Their
24
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.920
visit has been met with predictable vitriol. Well known faces
25
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.640
joined in the communal sneer against the couple, led by
26
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:37.120
Family Tires actor Justine Bateman, who derided Harry and Meghana's
27
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:40.879
disaster tourists, accusing them of touring the damage for a
28
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:43.920
repulsive photo op. No matter that Megan grew up in
29
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.680
Los Angeles and only lives ninety miles away in Santa Barbara.
30
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.920
Princess Mirkal was castigated for being no better than an
31
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:52.879
ambulance chaser in a city where she doesn't live. Out
32
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.359
This was eye watering stuff from one of Hollywood's own.
33
00:01:56.519 --> 00:01:59.359
Surely the couple were only trying to help. Tellingly, despite
34
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.120
the raft of a list stars rallying to the cause,
35
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:06.319
Sharon Stone, Halle Berry, Jennifer Garner, and Charlie Xcxter name
36
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.879
but a few. It is the Sussexes who were singled
37
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.000
out for condemnation, which begs the question, what is it
38
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:14.439
about Meghan? Harry was a little more than a spare
39
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:18.479
thumb in the footage that proves so triggering. After all,
40
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.120
in the midst of this Tinsel talent disaster, let's not
41
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.639
pretend the most famous do good is aren't on the
42
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.639
hunt for positive pr and image enhancement. The situation for
43
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.520
the couple wasn't helped by the rescheduling of the Duchess
44
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.840
of Sussex's ominously entitled With Love Meghan series, but even
45
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.759
the predictable postponement, which saw Meghan explain that the launch
46
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.039
was delayed as we focus on the needs of those
47
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:43.240
impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California,
48
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.759
has been met with cynicism. The new date of fourth
49
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:49.840
of March provides a longer leading and potentially more attention
50
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:54.199
for her latest production. Timing is apparently not Meghan's strong point.
51
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:59.199
Getting it wrong is her special skill. Christopher Smithers, writing
52
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.360
in The Express, the wonderful folks who dedicate their lives
53
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.199
to the emergency services deserve nothing less than our unreserved
54
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.360
admiration and unconditional respect. If for one moment I believed
55
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.520
that the Sussex's motive was genuinely sincere, then I would
56
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:16.800
be unreservedly complimentary and full of admiration. But for these two,
57
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.919
their agenda seems to be crystal clear. With the press
58
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.520
release from their office and a personal visit, yet again
59
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:25.800
we witness a carefully choreographed display of crass and vulgar
60
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:30.319
virtue signaling yuck. One comment I read of the many
61
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.520
echoing the same sentiment, put it this way, can we
62
00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:36.039
please have less of these two? If I thought they
63
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:37.879
were doing it from the goodness of their hearts, I
64
00:03:37.879 --> 00:03:41.000
would applaud them. But I feel that publicity is always
65
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.759
to the forefront of their minds. There are many in
66
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.039
the wider Hollywood community who have pitched in and done
67
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.319
their bit. God bless them for that, and they have
68
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.120
done it without any prior announcement of the impending charity.
69
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.319
Nothing is ever spontaneous with the dynamic duo from Montecito.
70
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.879
There always seems to be an ulterior motive in their
71
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:06.479
public appearances. More Palace in just a moment, starting this Sunday,

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.279
Prince Andrew has reportedly been snubbed yet again, this time
90
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.759
left off the guest list for a dinner at Windsor
91
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:21.439
Castle celebrating Gordonstown, the prestigious school he once attended. The
92
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.079
dinner was hosted by his sister, the possible former Royal
93
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:27.120
sex bomb, Princess Anne, in her role as warden of
94
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.600
the school, which counts several members of the royal family
95
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:32.800
among its alumni. Despite living just a few miles away
96
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.839
at Royal Lodge, Andrew was not invited to join the event.
97
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:38.879
A source close to Andrew remarked, I'm sure the Duke
98
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:40.680
would have loved to have attended the dinner if he
99
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.040
had been invited. Gordonstown has a rich history of the
100
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:48.040
alma mata for two generations of British royalty, including Prince Philip,
101
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.120
King Charles, and Andrew's youngest brother, Prince Edward. The school,
102
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.319
known for its rigorous curriculum and emphasis on character development,
103
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.920
also counts musician David Bowie's son Duncan Jones and actor
104
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:02.560
Sean Connery's son Jason Connery mo it's notable graduates. Princess
105
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.000
Anne herself never attended Gordonston as it was not co
106
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.199
educational during her school years, but she sent her children,
107
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.839
Peter Phillips and Zara Tyndall there and keeping with family tradition.
108
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.040
According to The Times Royal correspondent Kate Nancy, Harry and
109
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.199
Andrew have been given a new nickname by palace insiders.
110
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:21.240
Mansy said, I did a kind of wrap up in
111
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:23.160
the Times magazine at the end of last year in
112
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:26.560
which a couple of people actually mentioned him and Harry
113
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.000
to me as being known as the Dukes of Hazard,
114
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.279
