It's funny how it seems lke every time Harry does something that would warrant media coverage that we'll all of a sudden get something shiny from the Wales gang.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.000
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome through Pallace Entry. I

2
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:16.359
am your host, Mark Francis. Prince William's team is facing

3
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:21.280
accusations of stirring the pot after posting an Instagram update

4
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.719
just over an hour before Prince Harry's solo appearance at

5
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.600
the well Child Awards in London. Some have speculated this

6
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:32.000
move might have been a subtle attempt to overshadow Harry's event,

7
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.920
a notion fueled by claims from insiders. One source told

8
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.520
The Daily Beast that such a move could be seen

9
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.880
as weaponizing scheduling, a tactic once avoided among senior oils

10
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.880
to prevent overshadowing each other in the media. However, a

11
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.759
friend of William quickly dismissed these claims, emphasizing that the

12
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:53.119
post was simply part of the usual monthly routine. The

13
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:55.320
friend pointed out that the timing had nothing to do

14
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.840
with Harry, adding that the rewind merely highlighted how busy

15
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:02.600
William and Kate had. Not only was there the September

16
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.319
rewind video, there was the helicopter photo op with David Beckham.

17
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:09.959
Royal commentator Kinsey Chofield was asked if the William and

18
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.640
Beckham photo would annoy anyone in Montecito, Kinsey said, yes,

19
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.040
I do think that this is something that will annoy

20
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.359
Megan mikel after two weeks of bad press since Prince

21
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.560
Harry's been gone. I just think that she's probably livid

22
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.840
right now based on the reaction that she's getting from

23
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.280
all of these stories. She's had to deal with that

24
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.760
while Prince Harry's been out of town. That's going to

25
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:32.959
be incredibly hard for her. And then to see this

26
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.000
kind of victory moment from Prince William, a victory moment

27
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.079
that she would tell you it should have been Harry's

28
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.519
moment after the well Child Awards that would be upsetting

29
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.640
to her. Harry was allegedly snubbed from a lavish ball

30
00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:47.439
at a top London restaurant on his latest solo trip

31
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.840
through the UK. The venue where Beatrice and Eduardo held

32
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:55.079
their engagement party, The Chiltern Firehouse, is due to host

33
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:58.159
a massed ball to celebrate its tenth anniversary, but a

34
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:00.959
source told The Daily Mail that Harry has been invited.

35
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.239
They claimed the guest list had no room for plus ones,

36
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:06.680
and that a source told the publication that Prince Harry

37
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.800
was not one of our crowd. Speaking to The Times,

38
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.120
commentated Tom Sykes claimed that sources say that Harry wants

39
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:18.280
to leave behind celebrity nonsense as part of reputational recovery.

40
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:21.120
Speaking to sources close to Harry, it's quite clear that

41
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.319
he wants to leave behind the celebrity nonsense, recover his

42
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.120
reputation as an honest dealer and become known as a

43
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:31.960
serious philanthropic player. However, it's going to be incredibly difficult

44
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:36.120
Nion impossible to transform back into a credible quasi royal

45
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.319
unless he reconciles with the Crown. Unless Harry can switch

46
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:42.159
the narrative away from the kind of tit for tat

47
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:44.960
melodrama we've seen this month, he may never be able

48
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.319
to find his way back. Royal expert phil Zampia told

49
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.520
the Son he wanted to have his cake and eat

50
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.840
it when leaving the Ferm. He wanted to be half

51
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.599
in and half out of the royal family. He wanted

52
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.759
to carry on with his attachments to the military, where

53
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.280
he was attached to certain units and certain patronages and

54
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.919
certain charities as a royal, but still able to go

55
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.400
to America and commercialize other things, and of course, the

56
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.759
late Queen Elizabeth made it perfectly clear to him that

57
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.639
that just wasn't possible. He couldn't be half in and

58
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:14.840
half out. You can't have members of the Royal family

59
00:03:14.879 --> 00:03:18.199
exploiting it for cash. Basically, he can't start doing jobs

60
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.439
that would see him sort of slowly coming back into

61
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.360
the Royal family. I think we're just going to see

62
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.039
him occasionally come back for these one off events with

63
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:28.400
charities that he's very deeply involved with, and that's it.

64
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:30.759
I can't see any way back for him to be

65
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.960
half in and half out. That's just not going to work.

66
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:38.240
He's basically an outcast and a self imposed outcast. Prince

67
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.400
Harry has made an emotional appeal for people at the

68
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.840
top to start listening as he embarked on his solo

69
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.000
trip to Africa without Megan Markel. After a few high

70
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.240
profile appearances in New York at a quick stop in

71
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.919
the UK, Harry traveled to Lesotho, marking his first visit

72
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.719
to Southern Africa in five years. There, he reunited with

73
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.080
Prince Cezo, his co founder of the charity center Ballei,

74
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.599
which supportz children and young people affected by HIV in

75
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:06.240
Lesotho and Botswana at a bonfire event in Lesotho. Harry

76
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:09.759
expressed optimism about the impact of Center Bali's work and

77
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:13.360
emphasized the importance of young voices being heard. We're hitting

78
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.800
the targets. It's making a massive difference. What really needs

79
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.079
more work is when people from the top start listening,

80
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.279
he said. Harry also enjoyed a warm welcome with traditional

81
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.199
dances and a choir during his visit. Har He met

82
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.720
with Prince Senate Caeizo over lunch. He's expected to engage

83
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:32.079
with business leaders and philanthropists in Southern Africa to promote

84
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:35.120
prosperity for young people in the region. This trip follows

85
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:37.360
his brief appearance at the well Child Awards in London,

86
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.360
where he honored children facing its debility and conditions, and

87
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:42.879
receiving a touching gift of crystal hearts from one of

88
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.680
the winners, ten year old Scarlet Crips. The gesture reminded

89
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:49.040
Harry of his family, whom he had not seen during

90
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.959
his travels. Despite his time in the UK, Harry did

91
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.800
not meet with King Charles or Prince William, maintaining the

92
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:59.959
distance in his strained family relationships. Pallacindric will be right back.

93
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.399
Buckingham Palace found itself in an awkward situation after royal

94
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:11.480
fans noticed the glaring typo in its announcement of Princess

95
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:15.439
Beatrice's second pregnancy. The Palace had shared a sweet post

96
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.560
on social media featuring two photos of Beatrice, her husband

97
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:22.199
edwardam Pellimotsi, and their children, Sienna and Wolfe. One of

98
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.079
the photos showed Siena from behind walking hand in hand

99
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.639
with her father and brother. However, excitement was overshadowed by

100
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.920
a simple, yet embarrassing mistake in the accompanying statement. The

101
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:35.519
post referred to her Royal high S instead of Highness,

102
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.480
leaving royal watchers quick to point out the error. Social

103
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:41.959
media lit up with fans calling out the typo, adding

104
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.680
a bit of unintentional humor to what was otherwise a

105
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:49.639
joyful announcement. Sarah Ferguson shared a lighthearted moment with people

106
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:55.680
about indulging in a classic NYC hot dog topped with mustard, ketchup, sauerkraut,

107
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.040
and relish, much to the amusement of her companions. She

108
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.079
also mentioned her a face action for yellow cabs and

109
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.759
how the Empire State Building reminds her of an Affair

110
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.399
to Remember, with Kerry Grant making it clear that she

111
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:09.319
feels quite at home in the Big Apple. The Crown

112
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.959
and Coronation Exhibition is currently illuminating Canterbury Cathedral with an

113
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.839
immersive light and sound display that brings the grandeur of

114
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.759
the Royal family to life. Featuring vivid depictions of both

115
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.120
past and present royals, The installation showcases over a thousand

116
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.800
years of British monarchy, from King Henry the Eighth to

117
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.199
Queen Elizabeth. Visitors can wander through the cathedral while viewing

118
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.920
projections and footage that celebrate the rich history of the

119
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.600
Crown Jewels. Each segment of the exhibit runs about five

120
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.759
to eight minutes, with the entire experience taking around forty

121
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.879
five to sixty minutes. This stunning display is part of

122
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.120
a larger UK tour, which began at the Tower of

123
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.639
London in November of last year and aims to give

124
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:50.120
the public a fresher perspective on the royal legacy. In

125
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.079
a breath taking setting, Prince William just showed he's more

126
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.800
than a royal figurehead. He's apparently handy with a wrench too.

127
00:06:57.879 --> 00:07:01.120
While visiting Enzo and Eco Friend Tire company that was

128
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.560
a finalist in his Earthshot Prize. William lent a hand

129
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.160
changing the tire on an electric car, equipping that he's

130
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.759
changed tires loads of times. William managed fifty seventeen inch

131
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:14.519
alloy well with the precision of a seasoned mechanic. One

132
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.759
of the companies at sales Technicians even joked that the

133
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.639
Prince could join their team if he has any spared time,

134
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.920
dubbing him a professional for his efforts. And there you
