0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I'm host Mark Frances. Harry and Meghan are reported to have maintained a quiet friendship with Hugh Jackman for several years, and have recently sought advice from Jackman and his former The Music Man co star Sutton Foster regarding a potential new business venture. According to a source site and by the Globe, there's always been mutual respect there. He publicly backed them when they stepped away from Royal Life, calling them courageous, and that didn't go unnoticed. Meghan has her eye on producing a Broadway show with Harry as her partner, and she's turned to Hugh and Sutton for advice. Apparently they have been very encouraging and it's got Megan very excited.
0:47 The Duchess of Sussex is not said to be planning to write the script herself. Instead, the source claims she wants to hire writers to create an original script, so that's step one. Breaking into Broadway could also involve a g g agraphic shift. The source added. Meghan's still drawn to the East Coast and loves the idea of having a place in Manhattan. Most of her friends are by a coastal and she feels like she and Harry should be too. Prince Harry is described as a harder cell, with the source stating he loves the weather in California, but the move would make sense for him with all his travel to the UK. According to the report, the discussion remains at an early stage. It's all still in the discussion stages, the source said, but Meghan has very big ideas and plans. As always, we highly encourage Meghan to try out new forms of media. In the mirror, Ingrid's Seward writes about the different views Harry and Meghan have of privacy. She says Harry understands the privacy issue better than Meghan does due to his own experiences as a child. For Megan being seen with a gorgeous child as just a plus because she has had very different experiences.
1:49 She appears to love the Hollywood life and the fame that goes with it, but Harry doesn't and never has done. By his own admission, He's not a movie star. He's a private person, at least when he wants to be, and Megan's behavior is very much that of a movie star. Movie Stars are always showing themselves off with their children, but you don't expect it from a prince of the realm, so it is obviously Meghan who wins on this. I would have thought Harry might have been brave enough to point out that the photograph was absolutely contrary to everything they said they wanted and it cannot be undone. Now I think Megan probably gets the final word in everything they discuss, though I often compare it to the behavior of George and a Mile Clooney, who actually said similar things with regards to their desire for their children to remain private despite their own fame, And they have never ever put out photographs of them or even generally referred to their children, so we know having a private life, even for children of famous parents, is very possible. Megan and Harry said they wanted a more private life, and they have created anything but that for themselves. It appears they left the family because they wanted a public life and to earn money. It's just all a bit embarrassing really, and to Harry's English mind, it's probably rather boastful and ill mannered to display yourself in a look at me way.
3:02 Radar Online suggests these Sussexes have been cut off by the Kardashians. Despite what is being said publicly and inside has said, Chris still wants to maintain her friendship with Meghan. She has a real soft spot for her, but Kim is putting her foot down. She feels like they had their chance and blew it. The whole photo gate situation was such a slap in the face. Chris may be willing to forgive and forget, but Kim is not. Kim's still very bitter. She feels like they brought negativity to such a special moment and she's not willing to get past that. But from her point of view, they just bring drama and awkwardness wherever they go, so she sees no reason to keep the door open. She doesn't want that energy anywhere near their brand, and she thinks her mum should be on the same page. It's very rare for Kim to overrule Chris like this, but she's clearly taken a stand and is letting the world know the Kardashians are not team Meghan and Harry. Harry and Meghan have long maintained any close relationship with Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooks Bank, but commentators suggest that that bond may face strain following the rest of Anne and Eugenie was the first member of the royal family to visit Harry and Meghan at their home in Montecito after they stepped back from royal duties. Megan has previously said she knew Eugenie before she met Prince Harry, explaining in her interview with Oprah that Eugenie and I had known each other before I had known Harry, where friends with them was a couple. Prince Hary also wrote warmly about his cousin in his memoir, recalling their first dinner together at Nottingham Cottage. I remember huj hugging Meg as if they were sisters, he wrote, adding I remember thinking, if meeting the rest of my family goes like this, we're

Megan later described on television. He came to see me in Toronto and our friends and his cousin Eugenian now her husband, Jack that came as well, and the four of us snuck out in Halloween costumes to just have one fun night on the town before it was out in the world that we were a couple. She said, it was so great, just silly fun. He has also publicly expressed affection for Megan, sharing birthday messages to her dear Meghan and referring to the Sussexes as dear cousins. Following the birth of their daughter, Royal journalist Duncan Larcom told The Mirror Harry has always been close to Beatrice and Eugenie. He added that while Harry may feel emotionally inclined to support his cousins, Meghan could be more mindful of the wider implications. From Meghan's point of view, it's probably a commercial thing. From Harry's point of view, it's probably more of an emotional thing. Meanwhile, Meghan's estranged father, Thomas Michael Senior, is being fitted with a prosthetic leg following a below the knee amputation late last year. Speaking during a live stream, his son Thomas Michael Junius, said his father is going through therapy physical rehab in the Philippines and added, we're going to have to get him fitted for a prosthetic here pretty soon and get that man walking again. He described it as their goal and priority for the eighty one year old more Powersing just a moment, the King paid a private
6:02 visit to his former nanny to mark her one hundredth birthday, keeping a long standing promise despite the turmoil surrounding his brother's arrest, His Majesty traveled to the Windsor estate to have tea with Mabel Anderson, who lives near Frogmore, in honor of her milestone birthday. It is understood he had committed some time ago to seeing her in person, and chose to proceed with a visit at the end of last week. Missus Anderson, who cared for all four of Queen Elizabeth the Second's children, remains a trusted and much loved figure throughout their lives. The King has previously described her as a haven of security during his childhood and has called her warm, loving, sympathetic and caring. Known affectionately to him as Mipsei, she played a central role in his upbringing while his parents undertook lengthy Commonwealth tours. She also looked after the Princess Royal Andrew and the Duke of Edinburgh the same age as the late Queen, who would have turned one hundred in April twenty twenty six.
6:54 Missus Anderson remained close to her former charges well into later life, said the late Queen would telephone her to invite her to watch television during periods of ill health. After more than three decades of service, she was granted a Grace and Favour home in Windsor, where she still resides. For her ninetieth birthday, the King hosted a dinner for her at Clarence House and was known to arrange transport for her to spend Christmas at Sandringham. As the royal family confronts renewed scrutiny, attention has turned to the Princess Royal and the role she may play during what some have described as one of the most challenging periods for the monarchy in recent years. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told The Daily Mail Princess Anne relishes a high workload and usually undertakes the most royal engagements of any royal. However, she prefers to avoid the media circus that follows the most high profile royals. She is absolutely pivotal in keeping public support for the monarchy. What Anne can offer King Charles, who reportedly has been under pressure from William over his handling of this crisis, is down to earth advice. While noting that the siblings may not always share the same perspective, he said that in unprecedented circumstances, it is pivotal that Charles listens to views which differ or are opposed to his own. Princess Anne is currently eighteenth in line to the throne. Changes to the rules of succession introduced in twenty thirteen were not applied retrospectively, as mister Fitzwilliams observed.
