ITV’s Chris Ship says Charles isn’t the one in charge at Buckingham Palace. Shop tells Talking Royals, "Someone very close to the King and Queen said to me recently it is her who says no, she is the one, when the courtiers come in, he will insist ‘Of course I can do that, I am a workaholic’.

"She will say ‘No, he is not doing that, stop there’. So this (Australia0 trip is interesting for how they scheduled it around this having treatment."

Royal biographer Robert Jobson adds: “Queen Camilla had initially been against disclosing his condition, but the King overruled her as he felt it was a chance to take a lead and in doing so to encourage men experiencing similar symptoms to seek timely medical attention.

Ah Caloroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:15.400
Hello and welcome to Palace Injury. I'm your host, Mark Lanceys.

3
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:19.320
ATV's Chris shipp says Charles isn't the one in charge

4
00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:23.480
at Buckingham Palace. Shop tells talking Royals, someone very close

5
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:25.519
to the King and Queen said to me recently it

6
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:28.640
is her who says no. She is the one. When

7
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.760
the courting has come in. He will insist, of course

8
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.399
I can do that. I am a workaholic. She will

9
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:36.079
say no, he is not doing that. Stop there. So

10
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:38.840
this Australia trip is interesting for how they scheduled it

11
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:43.320
around his having treatment. Royal biographer Robert Jobson ads Queen

12
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.640
Camilla had initially been against disclosing his condition, but the

13
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:49.560
King overruled her as he felt it was a chance

14
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:51.759
to take a lead and in doing some encourage men

15
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:57.280
experiencing similar symptoms to seek timely medical attention. The Royal

16
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:59.679
family has come under fire fork going Woke after it

17
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:01.920
was an that Charles and Camilla will no longer use

18
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.959
the term walk about during their upcoming tour of Australia.

19
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:09.599
Commentator Adamcgovern criticized the move, accusing the monarchy of prioritizing

20
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:13.840
political correctness. The decision was made to show sensitivity towards

21
00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:18.000
indigenous Australian culture, where walkabout refers to a spiritual journey

22
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.319
or right of passage. Instead, the Royal family will refer

23
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.519
to their public engagements as an opportunity to meet the public.

24
00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:28.000
This shift has sparked backlash from some with claims that

25
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.920
the Royals are bowing to woke culture. However, Royal commentator

26
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.040
Richard Fitzwilliams defended the change, saying it's absolutely essentially in

27
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.359
my view, the sensitivities in different countries are observed. If

28
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:41.680
you look, for example, the last time William and Catherine

29
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.560
sadly went abroad, this was in March twenty twenty two

30
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:48.000
to the Caribbean. It wasn't successful because of the issues

31
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.400
and they were hyper sensitive, particularly with demands for reparations.

32
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:53.879
You look at the Commonwealth of the fifty six countries now,

33
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:56.879
I think that's an enormous important institution and we benefit

34
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:59.200
in all sorts of ways as to the other countries

35
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.439
or members of it. Now. If you don't take into

36
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.640
account the time's changing as they did during Queen Elizabeth's reign,

37
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.879
you don't take account of various sensitivities, especially certain pressure groups.

38
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.280
I'm not suggesting that we write off our history as

39
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.879
being something that's dreadful. They're ups and downs and pluses

40
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.240
and minuses. We will know that. But the point is

41
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.120
to be sensitive to other cultures, and that's an absolutely

42
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:24.479
perfect one. GB News host Patrick Christie's added Charles spends

43
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:27.039
half his life apologizing for stuff they had nothing to

44
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:31.680
do with. During a Buckingham Palace reception, New Zealand's women's

45
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.719
rugby player Aisha letter Liga surprised King Charles the Third

46
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:37.840
by asking him for a hug the King and Good

47
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:43.159
Spirits responded why Notga's request quickly turned into a lighthearted

48
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.080
moment as a group of players affectionately mobbed the King.

49
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.080
After the impromptu hug, King Charles joked with the group,

50
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.560
saying it's like being flattened by a scrum. Richard Eden

51
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.719
reports that some of Charles's friends did not enjoy Kate's video.

52
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.919
One told Eden, there's no coincidence that the Middleton's appearing

53
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.719
not the King and Queen. I can assure you that

54
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:05.080
Charles and Camilla will not be filmed kissing each other

55
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:08.280
on a branch as William Catherine were until hell frees

56
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:12.840
is over. It's distinctly unregal. Another tells Eden all that

57
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.159
lying around, hugging and kissing, they're not soppy teenagers. It

58
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.439
felt manipulative. It's the sort of thing that Megan would make.

59
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:22.560
All the time, effort and expense put into making the

60
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.520
video could have been much better spent elsewhere. Why not

61
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.120
visit other women being treated for cancer. That's what Danna

62
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.560
would have done, Eden writes last descender, the couple's teen

63
00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:34.840
posted a similarly airbrushed review of the year at the time.

64
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.120
I voiced my concerns about the strategy, which is being

65
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.560
masterminded by Lee Thompson, who was appointed as their prchief

66
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:43.879
in twenty twenty two. He is said to have been

67
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.039
tasked with boosting the couple's profile on social media, where

68
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:51.039
they have sixteen point eight million followers on Instagram. In

69
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.960
his previous job at a top US TV network, CNBC,

70
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.840
Thompson is said to have helped increase its YouTube audience

71
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.439
by a staggering six hundred percent. Here's a point. Came

72
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:03.560
after the couple faced criticism unfair in my view, for

73
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:05.919
what was described as a tone deaf tour of the

74
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:08.840
West Indies and March of twenty twenty two. Speaking on

75
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.039
the Male's hit royal talk show Palace Confidential last December,

76
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.080
I remarked, Kensington Palace going down this route of the

77
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:19.040
Hollywood style video does make me quite uneasy. William and

78
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.000
Catherine are vulnerable to pr people who want them to

79
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:25.240
be these slick celebrities. It's important to make that distinction,

80
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:27.680
even though I think the latest video is very sweet.

81
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.319
I stand by those comments. Now, William and don't need

82
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.160
to be Instagram royals hungry for likes and engagement online.

83
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:37.160
They should follow the example of Queen Elizabeth. The late

84
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:39.560
Queen was always keen to keep up to date with

85
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.600
the latest technology, but at the same time maintain the

86
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.160
dignity of the monarchy. I'm sure that she would have

87
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.560
done as Catherine did with her statement in March following

88
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:52.120
her cancer diagnosis, and perhaps released a simple video updating

89
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:54.399
the nation on her health, but no more than that.

90
00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:01.600
Palace intrigue it right back. Eleven year old Prince George

91
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.800
has taken his first flying lesson. An onlooker who sounds

92
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.439
like a casual observer and totally not a royal plant

93
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:10.000
told the son George is only eleven years old, but

94
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:12.480
it's the right time to start. The Royal family has

95
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:14.800
a proud tradition of flying, and it looks like George

96
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.959
is next in line. His parents watched George take flight

97
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:20.079
from the safety of the ground, but he flew with

98
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.959
an instructor and loved it. There were probably thirty or

99
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.279
forty people in the clubhouse. Catherine and William watched George

100
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:28.720
take off, but they were relaxed about it. All three

101
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.160
of them had been pretty chilled in the clubhouse. Prince

102
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.319
Andrew is being accused of letting Royal Lodge rot Royal

103
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.240
commentator Lizzie Cundy tells gb News he is letting this place.

104
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.560
It has thirty odd bedrooms and he is letting it

105
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.319
go to ruin. The conditions attached to the lease are

106
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.319
that you have to paint it every five years and

107
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.560
so on, and he hasn't done that. If you look

108
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.839
from the outside, it's all chipped paint from the breakfast

109
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:53.560
falling off and it costs four hundred thousand pounds for

110
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:55.600
the year for the upkeep. It's a lot of money.

111
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.839
Andrew is out of favor and it cannot work. He

112
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.639
really is in trouble, but he will not leave and

113
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.120
they have it. If you likes email, that's how addresses
