00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.400
Callaroga, Shark Media Hell and welcome to Palace Intrigue and
2
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:17.800
your host, Mark Francis. Radar Online reported Prince Harry and
3
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:20.000
Meghan Markle is said to be preparing for a legal
4
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:23.519
fight against a notorious website that has continued to host
5
00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:27.640
alleged topless images of the Duchess of Sussex despite her
6
00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:31.719
repeated denials of their authenticity. The site, which has a
7
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:35.920
history of publishing explicit material of celebrities, first posted what
8
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.320
it claimed were leaked nude photographs of Megan several years ago.
9
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.039
According to Radar Online, the couple are raging that the
10
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.359
images remained online and are now seriously thinking about taking
11
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.399
legal action to have them removed for good. Meghan has
12
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:52.479
previously denied that any such photographs of her exist, including
13
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:54.840
those alleged to have been taken on the Greek island
14
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.759
of Mikinos in two thousand and five while on holiday
15
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.399
with her then husband Trevor Engelsson. A source told Radar
16
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:04.879
Online the disgusting sights threatening him will release a full
17
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.000
set of nude images of Megan unless some ridiculous demands
18
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.040
are met. Will be taken very seriously by Harry and
19
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:13.920
his wife Radar Online won't be making any friends in
20
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.200
Montecito this weekend, as another story suggests viewers will find
21
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:20.959
Meghan Markle's Christmas show disgusting. In a teaser, the Duchess
22
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:24.079
of Sussex invites viewers into her Montecito home, promising a
23
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.680
magical holiday celebration filled with decorating, cooking, and gift making
24
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.560
alongside friends and family. Archwell Productions describe the program as
25
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:35.159
a holiday wonder with warmth, tradition and a generous dose
26
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.680
of joy. While Prince Harry is expected to make a
27
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:41.920
brief appearance in the finale, that all sounds nice. Royal
28
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.519
correspondent Danielle Stacy noted the project fits Meghan's long standing
29
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.840
enthusiasm for Christmas. We know that Meghan has always gone
30
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.480
big on celebrating the holidays, way back before she met
31
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.159
Prince Harry, so it's no surprise to hear she is
32
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.159
releasing a special episode of her Netflix show in December.
33
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:00.400
She suggested these special may also provide a look at
34
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.159
how these Sussexes blend their family traditions in California. That
35
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:08.599
too seems nice. However, Radar online dot Com highlighted criticism
36
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:11.919
from detractors who see the timing is insensitive given Megan's
37
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:15.280
fractured relationship with her father, Thomas Markle. One source close
38
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.039
to the Duchess remarked, he will most likely end up
39
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.319
watching this show on his own, but she doesn't care.
40
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:22.560
It's almost like she is rubbing her dad's face in
41
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:26.960
their estrangement with this Christmas special. Whether Meghan's holiday special
42
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.439
is embraced as charming or criticized as disgusting, as one detractor,
43
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.759
but it remains to be seen beside. Kate owns Christmas
44
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.680
thanks to her annual holiday concert, and the Sussex is
45
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.919
doing anything between Halloween and Valentine's Day is a direct
46
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:45.280
attack on the monarchy or something. Meghan's recent instant showcased
47
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:48.560
her lifestyle brand's latest creation, a tray of cookies prepared
48
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.439
with her as Ever short bread mix. In the post
49
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.120
on the official account, the Duchess of Sussex wrote, the
50
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.240
as Ever teen getting creative in the kitchen without short
51
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:01.360
bread cookie mix, flowers, sprinkles and delicious fruit spreads. Perfect
52
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:05.319
for d taime or any time. The photo featuring frosted
53
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:09.599
biscuits decorated with flower pedals and garnishes quickly divided opinion online.
54
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.599
Some social media users to ride in the presentation as childlike,
55
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:15.960
with one critic writing, how ridiculous that looks like five
56
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.319
year olds decorating cookies. Another quipped looks like something I
57
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.319
would have made in kindergarten. A third added does she
58
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.039
really look at this and think it's creative? It looks
59
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.960
like a mess. In one post, Meghan captioned new season
60
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.080
of With Love Megan August twenty six on Netflix, dare
61
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.599
I say it's all that in a bag of chips?
62
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.360
But the lighthearted phrase, a reference to the nineteen nineties
63
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.800
American sketch show, fell flat for many. She has to
64
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:42.240
stop with these stupid quips, one user wrote on x
65
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.439
Another remark, normal people don't make their own chips, But whatever,
66
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.319
I don't want to watch someone doing this on the show.
67
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.319
Reviews of season one were not great. The Guardian described
68
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.719
the show as gormless lifestyle filler, while The Telegraph called
69
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.120
it insane. Fresh off the release of entitled The Rise
70
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.080
and Fall of the House of York, royal biographer Andrew
71
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.360
Lowney has revealed that his next subject will be none
72
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.919
other than the late Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh. In
73
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.280
an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Lowney confirmed he's
74
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:12.360
already begun work on the project, a warts and all
75
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.919
biography that he expects to spend the next four years researching.
76
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.319
I've put in all the freedom of information requests for
77
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.920
a Prince Philip book already, he said. I'm working very
78
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.600
hard to get what it can. Among his early fines
79
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.079
is a once classified school report that recommended Philip for
80
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.839
the Royal Navy documentation that was initially sealed for one
81
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.560
hundred years while they kept it classified for one hundred years.
82
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.560
I don't know, Lowney remarked, but I've got it. Times
83
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.879
are a change in They do need to start declassifying
84
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.040
more and more records for the Royals. Lowney, whose previous
85
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.959
books have delved into the private lives and scandals surrounding
86
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.279
members of the royal family, says the Prince Philip biography
87
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.399
will arrive at a time when public attitudes towards the
88
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.160
monarchy may be shifting. People might be ready to hear
89
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.199
some of the stories about his private life, he said,
90
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.800
noting that the decade following Philip's death could provide space
91
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:03.759
for a fuller public reckoning people expect more transparency from
92
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:07.759
the monarchy now. The announcement comes just as Lowney's book
93
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.920
on Prince Andrew continues to make headlines. Entitled, which details
94
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.000
the riose and ignominious fall of the Duke of York,
95
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.279
has already been prepared for a major update in time
96
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.199
for summer twenty twenty six paperback release. According to Lowney,
97
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.920
new sources have come forward since the book's initial publication.
98
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.000
A lot of respectable people who declined to be involved
99
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.279
in the book are now coming forward, keen to unload
100
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.920
the secrets they've been keeping for all these years, he said.
101
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.360
Those who felt they couldn't speak to me before have
102
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.600
now changed their mind or have realized they have been
103
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.800
covering things up for him out of misplaced loyalty. Rather
104
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.439
than simply a pen new material, Lowdey says, the revised
105
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.879
edition will be an entirely new book, not just a
106
00:05:44.920 --> 00:05:48.680
few new chapters, reflecting the volume and significance of the
107
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:57.199
fresh allegations. More powers in just a moment. By the way,
108
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:01.079
there is a new episode of Crown and Controversy out today.

110
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.199

00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:12.079

00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:32.680
the Confusionist. Alexander later shared on Instagram saying I am
117
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.399
delighted to report that they really enjoyed it. The performance,
118
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:39.439
part of the festival's wide ranging program, is described as
119
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:43.399
a thought provoking magic show blending sleight of hand with storytelling,
120
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:46.560
exploring the defining moments in time that shape each and
121
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:50.040
every one of us. Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace is confirmed that

once again this September at London Fashion Week, the twenty

nine year old Royal will walk in the Barrass show,
144

joining fellow models Lady Victoria Hervey and Juliet Mayhew of
145
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:14.360
the Real Housewives of London. A second cousin to King
146
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:16.240
Charles and a third cousin to the Prince of Wales
147
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:19.000
and the Duke of Sussex. Lady Amelia has long been
148
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:22.160
at the intersection of aristocracy and high fashion. Hailed my
149
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.519
son is the most beautiful member of the royal family.
150
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:27.920
She has modeled for major fashion houses including Dulce and Gabbana,
151
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:33.039
Bulgari and Azaden a Layer. Speaking ahead of her upcoming appearance,
152
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.639
Amelia shared her enthusiasm for the Turkish label. I'm so
153
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:38.639
excited to be part of the Barriss Show and to
154
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:41.559
be stepping out in their stunning designs. As a lover

of all things travel, bringing the culture of Istanbul to
156
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.480
London rings true and I can't wait for people to
157
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:50.720
see and experience the spirit of Barras. Known for her
158
00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:54.320
impeccable style and regular appearances at COUD two events, Amelia
159
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:57.519
is also a passionate advocate for sustainable fashion. It's such
160
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.960
an exciting space that's constantly evolving, she told her Living
161
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.399
more sustainably has been a gradual process of learning and discovering.
162
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:06.799
I know it can't be perfect, but the small changes
163
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:09.440
you make can have a positive impact on you. Personally
164
