David Beckham gets emotional about the Royal Family

0:03 Calorogus Shark Media Today. David Beckham gets emotional while talking about the Royal family, Will Meghan's cooking show be a bad thing for Prince Harry and can Meghan beat the odds? Hello and welcome to Palace intriguing. I am your host, Mark Francis. David Beckham opened up about his relationship with the British Royal family, describing himself as a huge Royalist. In an interview during the Well Economic Forum in Davos, the football legend, who was appointed an ambassador for the King's Foundation last June, admitted I always get emotional talking about anything that I do with our Royal family. Beckham shared how his upbringing fostered a deep respect for the monarchy.

0:46 I was brought up in a household that adored and loved everything that came with the Royal family. He also revealed his readiness to support William whenever asked, stating, whenever the Prince of Wales sends me a message and says I need you to do this or be there, it's always a year yes. The former England captain recalled his pride when selected to represent the King's Foundation, a moment that brought his mother, Sandra West to tears. She knows my grandparents would have been proud that I have played such an important role in the Royal family and the charities that they have. Beckham praised King Charles as an incredible man, highlighting his efforts to empower young people, champion sustainability and preserve lost arts. Reflecting on his visit to Highgrove Estate after becoming an ambassador, Beckham said he and the King shared common interests, including bee keeping. He's into bees, I'm into bees. He's into the countryside. I'm into the countryside, and he's into empowering young people, Beckham explained. The two reportedly bonded during Beckham's visit, with insiders noting they had a great time and Beckham left feeling enthusiastic and inspired.

1:48 Their friendship has grown over the years, with Beckham gifting the King a jar of his homemade honey in twenty twenty three. The King joked, we shall have to do a swap. Perhaps they can swap with Meghan for some homemade jam. While in Davos, Beckham definitely sidestepped a question about the accuracy of TV's The Crown by whipping I wouldn't know with a knowing smile. As for the rift between the Beckhams and the Sussexes, a source told in Touch Weekly, Victoria has actually been much more forgiving than people realize. She was really hurt by the accusations that she was spreading gossips, since that's the last thing she would ever do. But with time she's mellowed about the whole, especially since Megan has been reaching out to mend things. The problem is, David and her boys are still holding a major grudge. Did Meghan's decision to postpone her Netflix series and assuming it was even hers reveal contempt for the royal family. On the Daily Mail's Palace Confidential podcast, Richard Eden said, I think Meghan's decision to postpone this program really does lay bear her contempt for the royal family.

2:49 And I'll tell you why. Because People Magazine had her saying that she didn't think twice about canceling this program after the terrible wildfires. Well you might remember lots of people have pointed out to me since that she may have thought twice, but she went ahead with the Oprah Winfrey interview when Prince Philip was seriously ill, we know they went ahead with everything else, like the Netflix series when the Queen was in failing health. Harry announced his memoirs as well when it was obvious Queen Elizabeth was increasingly frail. So people have been quite cynical about this sudden compassion. Pr expert Fiona Minette suggests to the Experience that Meghan should get off Instagram. Fiona said, it's a very difficult predicament that Megan finds herself in, although perhaps one of her own making, breaking form on her usual pattern of drop and run promotion that creates a huge impact whilst retaining an air of mystery, or perhaps open her up to criticism that she would prefer to do without.

3:45 I would stick true to form. There was enough chatter in the media about With Love Meghan that she can let it all play out, leave any promotion to Netflix, and let her program do the talking when it launches. It seems to be something she's proud of and sets the tone for a new direction for her that brings the essence of the tig into her life and will perhaps lay the foundations for the lifestyle empire she seems to be moving towards creating. She's not regularly posted on social media and support of any of her post royal ventures. And given that each post or announcement she does make attracts such huge attention and quite often a backlash, I think she's probably between a rock and a hard place. A saw suggests to Radar Online that the better the Netflix series does, the worse that may be for Harry.

4:28 The insiders said Megan is stepping into the new year with a fresh sense of energy. With her shows set to air soon. Feedback from those who've previewed it suggests she might have a blockbuster on her hands. While the future will reveal its success, a strong reception could raise eyebrows among the Royals, confirming her strong connection with the public, and the royal family will have little interest in seeing her as she will see a stronger brand. Also, she'll have very little time to spare to make trips over the Atlantic with Harry to help him hill the rift with his family. He's really panicking that her show could spell the end of his chances of getting back in the fold. Time will tell if Meghan can beat the odds with Love. Meghan Face's speculation about its future with betting company bet Ideas suggesting the cooking show might be canceled after just one series. Bett Ideas released odds heavily leaning toward cancellation, with spokesperson Lee Astley stating Meghan Michael appears to be in hot water again following fresh allegations about her treatment of her staff, placing the future of her new Netflix series in doubt. We make it a high chance at one to two that With Love Meghan is acts by Netflix, while the series is six to four to be awarded another season. Palace Intrigue to be right back. Prince Harry's former ghostwriter, Mark mccrun has shared surprising details about writing for the Duke of Sussex, revealing that he never actually met Harry during the process and has no idea if the Prince even read the final product.

5:59 Mc ghost wrote Harry's forward for the twenty eleven book Walking with the Wounded, which tells the story of four injured soldiers trekking to the North Pole. Despite Harry's name featuring prominently on the cover, the collaboration was anything but personal. When I ghost wrote for Prince Harry, I didn't meet him, the Crumb told The Daily Mail. Instead, mcrumb was sent a video of Harry in Toromso, Norway, as he prepared to join the soldiers on their journey. The footage, mcrumb recalled showed the Duke trekking across the ice in full polar gear, repeatedly describing the experience as amazing. While the clip provided some context for mcrumb's work, it wasn't particularly illuminating, mcrum said. For fifteen minutes Harry treked across the ice, grinning a lot in a full polar kit. It was recorded just for me, but hardly illuminating. The word amazing featured a lot, and I remember once mcrumb completed the forward, it went through Clarence House for approval, but whether Harry personally reviewed the final text remains a mystery. Whether Harry read it himself, I have no idea, mcrumb admitted. He also offered a note to JR. Moringer, the ghostwriter behind Harry's memoir Spare, who previously described feeling exasperated during the writing process. Moringer clearly had a tougher challenge and a longer struggle, mcrum equipped. The behind the scenes glimpse raises questions about the extent of Harry's personal involvement in projects bearing his name and underscores the unique challenges of ghostwriting for high profile figures.
