0:03 Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. Too much news going on for just one episode today, we thought we'd throw you a bonus episode. Donald Trump praised King Charles, noting Trump was the first US president to be granted a second state visit. With a touch of humor, he added that he hoped it would be the last time such an event takes place. Turning his attention to the younger royals, Trump commended Kate and win Him for their role in Britain's diplomatic efforts during the two day visit. He remarked, his Majesty has also raised a remarkable son in his Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales. We've gotten to know you, and I think you're going to have an unbelievable success in future. And to see her Royal Highness, Princess Catherine so radiant and so healthy, it's so beautiful. Kate Millennia worked together earlier today for an engagement with the Scouts Squirrels program at Frogmore Gardens. Kate, who has served as Joint President of the Scouts since twenty twenty, arrived alongside Milania to meet young members working towards their Go Wild badge.

1:14 The Princess embraced an elegant countryside look, wearing a forest green cropped swede jacket by me and m paired with a brown skirt, a silk necktie, and knee high boots. First Lady complimented the occasion by taking part in activities including building a bug hotel and leaf printing with the children. They were welcomed by Chief Scout Dwayne Fields, before presenting badges to the youngsters and hosting a picnic in the gardens. Each child received a special packed lunch arranged by the Princess, complete with sandwiches made using honey produced from the family hives at a hall. As a keepsake, the First Lady presented jars of white House honey to the group as President Trumpet departed Windsor Castle on Thursday morning on route to Checkers. Royal insiders reflect positively on the unprecedented second state visit. One source described the visit as a clear success, noting that both the President and First Lady had been very easy to deal with and deeply appreciative of the awesome spectacle that accompanied the occasion. The insiders said, it was very pleasing to see the way the state visit has been warmly received, both by the guests and the media on both sides of the Atlantic. It's a clear sign of soft power and diplomacy. The visiting party was very easy to deal with and very appreciative of the hospitality.

2:28 All elements of the pomp and pageantry created an awesome spectacle. You can tell from the expression of the principles how much they appreciated it. Before leaving, mister Trump expressed his admiration for the King, telling reporters He's a great gentleman and a great king. More palace in just a moment. Royal watchers were quick to notice a familiar face during the ceremonial welcome for President Trump's state visit to Windsor Castle this week. Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Thompson, known as Major Eye Candy before his promote and nowadays dubbed the King's Heart Equerry, was seen on duty as the King and Queen greeted the Trumps. Thompson, of the fifth Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland, had previously been moved into a less public facing role after widespread media attention over his appearance. Nonetheless, his presence at the state visit did not go unnoticed, with fans taking to social media to express their delight.

3:22 Trump's carriage procession through Windsor Castle has drawn criticism, with one royal commentator dismissing it as little more than a fairground ride. Richard Eden of The Daily Mail said, this private carriage procession around the grounds of Windsor Castle is embarrassing, like a fairground ride to entertain the US president. The whole point of a royal carriage procession is so the public can see you. When another social media user suggested the decision was made for security reasons, Eden retorted, We're not a theme park. The procession saw King Charles ride alongside mister Trump, with Queen Camilla and First Lady Belania Trump following in a second carriage. Unlike the public spectacles typically associated with royal events, this display took place entirely within the private grounds of Windsor, away from both well wishes and protesters. Only military personnel and the Royal Guard were present to salute as the carriage has passed. Coverage of President Trump's state banquet speech on Wednesday revealed a shamp divide. In the British press, The Sun hailed the event with the headline the Special Bond, highlighting mister Trump's praise for the US UK relationship, set against the backdrop of the James Bond thing performed during the evening. The paper's parent company, News Corporation, is owned by Rupert Murdock, who was among the guests at Windsor Castle. In contrast, The Daily Mirror struck a more critical note. Its front page read, the Royals did their job, They smiled, laughed and massaged Trump's frail ego. Royal editor Russell Myers went further on social media, writing when Britain's star has fallen so far and we are forced to grovel for recognition

4:52 of the special relationship, our dutiful royal service well in desperate times. Meghan posted an image on her line lifestyle brand as Ever's account, showing herself in a long, button up blue summer dress and white brimmed hatters. She tended to plants in the garden of her Montecito home. In the caption, she wrote, season's shift, but the garden stays magic. While the post itself appeared smarene and understated It's timing drew immediate attention when social media user commented she just couldn't help herself.
