Beckjam Dig at Meghan and Kate’s Hair Color Sparks Wig Theories

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media, Hi and Welcome through Palace Intrigue game host Mark Francis, David and Victoria Beckham may have stirred up a little royal jam war. The Beckhams, once close to Harry and Meghan, have been accused of taking a cheeky swipe at the Duchess of Sussex's as Ever fruit spreads after posting a video about their own homemade batch. In the clip, Victoria teas to her husband's kitchen project, dubbing it David beck Jam. She equipped, so we've had a weekend of cooking. Well you have. I have been watching.

0:43 You've been making lots of jam and look what you've made, David beck Jam. He's very proud. How many Beckjams have you made? Darling? You're quite the entrepreneur. It has been nice to see the old Harry out and about, and curiously, the old Harry tends to show up when he's not around his way. Body language expert Darren Stantard observed when Harry is with Megan, he's very conscious about looking after her. He wants to manage things and look out for her. But when he's on his own, there is such a massive shift in his internal emotion. His breathing is consistent. He's a lot more animated with his hands. There are lots of open palm gestures. When he's on his own, he doesn't have all these balls to juggle, and he can relax. This trip could be an opportunity for him to reconcile with the King, and it sounds like he wants to do that. At the time of this recording, there still had not been a meeting between Harry and the King, or at least not that we know of.

1:38 We checked in with our Royal inside a deep Crown around lunchtime on Wednesday, and he told us via text. What's rather striking about this particular moment is the uncharacteristic silence from all quarters. Normally, one can rely on a steady drip of information, whether from courtiers with their carefully calibrated briefings or from the Sussex camp with their own strategic communications. But this radio silence is quite deliberate. I suspect the very fact that we don't know suggests paradoxically that something of substance may actually be occurring when there are genuine attempts at reconciliation. The last thing one wants is the circus that inevitably follows any leak. Her Late Majesty always understood this. The most important conversations happened in complete privacy, away from the prying eyes that seem to document every other aspect of royal life. Former royal butler Grant Harold, who once worked closely with King Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry, told page six, the King doesn't trust Harry because of what Harry has said. He's worried that he would use it to his advantage, and he has.

2:42 He's done what household members typically do and spill the beans. It's a big thing for the family to have one of their own do this. They were all so close and to see that relationship completely destroyed. I do not see them coming back from it. If they reconcile then fall out again, what's to say there won't be another book, Netflix series or intervi about it. William and Harry were not just the best of friends. They were inseparable. At High Grove, they were always together. They were walking together in the pub, together, on motorbikes together. Very rarely do they do stuff separately. I was genuinely shocked when they fell out. There must be something deeper going on that we're not being told. Meanwhile, Kate's hair color dominates the news in Thenews dot co dot au. Daniela also writes the Princess of Wales managed to set off the press and social media when she turned up with far blonder and longer looking hair. The thing was suddenly the world's most recognizable woman looked different. The princess, generally seen as perfectly turned out, had, for possibly the first time in twenty one years of public life, suffered a bad hair day.

3:44 Today we have answers, or at least some credible explanations about what the real deal is with Kate's hair. I know it's a massive relief to all of us. First off, the Princess of Wales was not wearing a full wig, according to experts, but she might have gotten some extra follicular help, gotten some extensions, or she has got a wig called a you ben, a halfwig that sits under the top layer of your own hair. A leading theatrical prosthetic hair specialist has told The Daily Beast it's her own hair, but she may have had some help for volume. Another source told The Beast, I have heard that she actually had hair extensions for a long time, So I think what happened is she just went a bit far. That happens. I think the hair extensions she has now are out of proportion. Had she not gone quite as far with them, no one would have suspected. So if we have the what under control here, the bigger and far media question is why, or perhaps why now? The monarchy represents continuity and stability, even in the most early burly of times, a dependable, constant north Star. And yet here was Kate changing things up, even if that is her inalienable right as a woman in the forties with a trusted colorist and a dwindling pile of f's more palace in just a moment.

A sprawling Montecito mansion that once served as the backdrop for printerran Megan Michael's Netflix documentary is struggling to sell despite its brush with royal fame. The thirteen thousand, six hundred square foot Spanish style home on Lilac Drive, just a short distance from the Sussex's own residence, was first listed in August of twenty twenty one thirty three point five million. Since then, it has bounced on and off the market, including a price cut to just under thirty mil in twenty twenty four, but is yet to secure a buyer. The six bedroom of State briefly became a media sensation after it was revealed as the filming location for the couple's candid interviews in Harry and Meghan co listing agent Ryan Malmsted recall, Harry and Meghan did that Netflix show there and I got bombarded by every newspaper in the world. It was supposed to be hush hush, and then the Daily Mail got wind of it and went ballistic. But while the publicity generated headlines, it has not helped the property change hands. Malmston says the real issue is its sheer size. Buyers today are wanting wayless

6:51 square footage. They'll pay the same amount, but they want a smaller home. That's a big challenge. The home features luxury amenities including the gym, theater, bar, guesthouse, and sweeping ocean views. Despite its difficulties, Montecito's market remains strong, with property values soaring by seventy five percent since the Sussex is settled in the enclave in twenty twenty. So you might need a Netflix deal to afford the place. The legendary mock rockers of Spinal Tap are back on the big screen tomorrow with Spinal Tap two. The End continues filmmaker Marty de Burgee's much awaited sequel to the cult eighty four rockumentary This Is Spinal Tap. The new film promises cameo appearances from none other than Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney, both longtime admirers of the band's thunderous legacy, and with such distinguished company whispers, faint ones admittedly have emerged that David Saint Hubbins, Nigel Tufnell and Derek Smalls might finally be in line for recognition from the Crown itself. Naturally, no official word on potential knighthoods would ever come before an announcement from Buckingham Palace, but they didn't stop Jim Kimmel from asking the question outright when the band appeared on his late night show this week.

8:05 Have you been knighted? He asked, No, replied David Saint Hubbins with a WinCE. Nigel Toughnel quickly added not, as before training off with a firm no pressing further, Kimmel asked if they'd want such an honor, I'd like it for you. Toughnel volley back, keeping his answer as deflective as his guitar solos are loud. Derek Smalls, however, summed up the moment with a simpler plea from your mouth to King Charles's ears and they have it. If you like to email us our addresses the Palace Intrigue at gmail dot com.
