00:00:15.919 --> 00:00:19.039
Hello, and welcome to Palace Injury again your host Mark Francis.

3
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:21.839
Did the Queen tell Kate to move out of the way?

4
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:24.000
Queen Camilla and Princess Catherine are said to be at

5
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.399
odds following a tense moment during President Trump's recent state

6
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.800
visit when cameras appear to show Camilla motioning for Kate

7
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:33.880
to move while the princess was speaking with First Lady

8
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:37.359
Milania Trump. A source tells Examined that the incident has

9
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.840
stirred friction within the royal household. Camilla has been extremely

10
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.399
kind and supportive towards Kate throughout her recent struggles, but

11
00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:47.759
she's territorial by nature as well as prickly. It annoys

12
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.799
her to no end. There's this narrative that the Whaleses

13
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.439
can do her wrong and that Kate can sworn around

14
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:56.320
whenever she feels like it, waving her magic wand and

15
00:00:56.359 --> 00:01:00.240
taking a self appointed bow as the most popular member

16
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:02.880
of the monarchy. According to the source, Camilla has been

17
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.000
reminding Kate that she's calling the shots for now, adding

18
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.000
that it's not for Kate or William to be throwing

19
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:12.040
their weight around or barking orders. From Kate's perspective, Camilla's

20
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.799
public display was unnecessary. The way she behaved in front

21
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.719
of everyone, pushing Kate away and snapping was uncalled for,

22
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:21.359
and it raised William's hackles too, the source explained, noting

23
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.319
that while William's relationship with his stepmother was greatly improved

24
00:01:24.359 --> 00:01:27.840
over the years, her apparent disrespect toward his wife is

25
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:33.480
testing those bonds once more. Kate was fully aware of

26
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:36.239
the central role she played during Trump's state visit. According

27
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:40.280
to royal biographer Ingrid Seward told people, she lightened the

28
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.760
whole evening. She lit up the table with the megawatts smile.

29
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.239
There was a lot of pressure on her because all

30
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:48.599
eyes were on her. She never looked as good as

31
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.519
she did the other night. She looked magnificent, She looked golden,

32
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:54.079
and it's definitely the best I've ever seen her look

33
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.640
at a state banquet. At the banquet, Kate set beside.

34
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.120
At the banquet, Kate sat beside her the President and

35
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.959
was photographed laughing during the exchange. She obviously amused him.

36
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.599
She is just a doian of perfect manners. He must

37
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:10.360
have made her laugh, Suard said, adding that the Princess

38
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.879
is definitely showing traits of being a remarkable future queen.

39
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.759
The following day, Kate joined the First Lady of Frogmore

40
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.800
Gardens to meet children involved in these Scouts Squirrels program.

41
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:23.039
Reflecting both women's shared interest in youth causes, Suward observed

42
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.560
their rapport, remarking, she chatted to Kate quite a lot.

43
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:28.960
Everybody wants to talk to Kate. For Seward, there is

44
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.080
little doubt about Kate's influence within the monarchy. She is

45
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:35.439
the weapon, not a secret one, the royal author said

46
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.840
in his Sunday substack Royal Inside a Deep Crown said Catherine,

47
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.479
Princess of Wales is the glue in the factory and

48
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.159
the figure who steadies the monarchy. He wrote that without her,

49
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.120
the public would be left with what he called a

50
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:52.159
monarchy high on tradition but low on charm, pointing to

51
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.400
Charles's dutiful but not beloved Harry in conflict, Andrew disgraced

52
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.759
and Edward amiable but peripheral Deep crowns.

53
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:00.319
To them.

54
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.039
In such a world, some might even whisper about skipping

55
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:05.800
ahead to Queen Sophie and King Edward. But concluded that

56
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.439
Catherine has spared the institution from such talk. In his words,

57
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.599
Katherine doesn't just hold the family together, she holds the

58
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.479
monarchy itself. And you can subscribe to Deep Groun's newsletter

listener mel K sixty four, who says, update, I'm confused.

67
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.319
I received a notification that Keller Roger Shark stopped charging

68

the four ninety nine fee for ad free shows and

69
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.039
early access. Now I see the monthly fee is back.

70
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.680
We'd like to know what's going on. A fun short

71

Royal update from Mark Francis with just the right amount

00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.960

AD free on Apple. We love you. Thank you. In

87
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.279
the Daily Mail, Richard Eden writes there's a sinister establishment

88
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.920
plot to undermine Prince William and Kate and bring back

89
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:55.000
Harry and Meghan. I refuse to be part of it.

90
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.680
Eden explains during his visit he told friends that he

91
00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.879
wanted his children to be educated in Britain. Reported last week,

92
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.279
Harry hopes that by the time his children are of

93
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:05.759
an age to attend school here, he and Megant will

94
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.240
be spending more time in Britain, possibly living in a

95
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:11.120
royal residence if relations with the King continue to improve.

96
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.319
The King is, however, in danger of forcing the heir

97
00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:17.279
to the throne into a very uncomfortable corner. If he

98
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.120
allows this plot to succeed, Harry and Maggnant will be

99
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:23.079
back in Britain undermining Prince William and Catherine without ever

100
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:26.879
having apologized for their appalling behavior. The King needs to

101
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:28.639
put his foot down and make clear to his younger

102
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.079
son that there will be no more appeasement unless he

103
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.160
apologizes to William and Catherine. Only then could a genuine

104
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:42.160
reconciliation be possible more powers in just a moment. Sarah

105
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.040
Ferguson is bracing for fresh turmoil, this time not connected

106
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.279
to her long running association with Jeffrey Epstein. A new

107
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:50.560
ATV drama is set to shine a spotlight on her

108
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:55.079
former aide, Jane Andrews, who served as the Duchess's dresser

109
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.879
for nine years before being convicted of murdering her boyfriend.

110
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.839
In two thousand and one, Andrews, who worked for Sarah

111
00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.079
from eighty eight till ninety seven, was found guilty of

112
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.959
killing her partner Tom Kressman, after attacking him with a

113
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.439
cricket bat and stabbing him at their London home. The

114
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.079
forthcoming series The Lady will chart Andrew's journey from modest

115
00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:16.160
beginnings to the heights of royal circles and her dramatic

116
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:21.000
fall into notoriety. Actress Natalie Dormer will not be promoting

117
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.519
the series and has donated her entire salary for the

118
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:26.759
show to children's charities. She explains, when I agreed to

119
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:28.879
take the role in The Lady, I knew portraying the

120
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.639
scripts Sarah Ferguson will require nuance. People are layered, Their

121
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:34.720
journeys are full of highs and lows, and as an

122
00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:36.439
act of my job is to lean into those elements

123
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.519
and bring them to life with honesty and empathy. Since

124
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.839
completing the project, new information has come to light that

125
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.399
it makes it impossible for me to reconcile my values

126
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:48.160
with Sarah Ferguson's behavior, which I believe is inexcusable. For

127
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:50.319
that reason, I will not be taking part in the

128
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:54.759
promotion of the project. Sarah has seen her own Hollywood

129
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.439
ambitions collapse in the wake of her latest scandal. She

130
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.680
had been pursuing a major television adaptation of her novel

131
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.920
Her Heart for a Compass and a Most Intriguing Lady,

132
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.040
with storyboards and pictures reportedly sent to Netflix, but according

133
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:10.120
to industry insiders, those plans are now dead and buried.

134
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:12.879
Another source noted that Ferguson had hoped to pitch her

135
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:18.720
stories as a Royal tinged alternative to Bridgeton. Fergie has

136
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:22.560
sold a Belgravia townhouse for about five point three million dollars,

137
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:26.399
three years after buying it as an investment property. The Duchess,

138
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:28.720
who continues to live at Royal Lodge, purchased the London

139
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:30.879
home in twenty twenty two and rented it to a

140
00:07:30.920 --> 00:07:35.319
private tenant located close to Kensington Palace and St James Park.

141
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.759
The property is tied to her daughters, Princess Beatrice and

142
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:40.959
Princess Eugenie. We must sign off any change to its status.

143
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.639
A spokesperson for Sarah explained she wasn't looking to sell it.

144
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.680
She was asked by the tenant to buy it and

145
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.079
it seemed like a good time to sell. It's an

146
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.839
investment property for her girls and so the moneys will

147
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:56.160
be reinvested. Accordingly. Pallace insiders have speculated that funds from

148
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.959
the townhouse sale could help keep the Duchess and Andrew

149
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.759
at Royal Lodge. King Charles has made clear he no

150
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.560
longer intends to subsidize their lifestyle at the sprawling estate,

151
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.680
having suggested they downsize to Frogmore Cottage. Andrew has resisted,

152
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.519
insisting here's the means to remain in Windsor, though beyond

153
00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:16.560
his modest naval pension, the source of his wealth remains unclear.

00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:19.759
