Ah Caloroga Shark Media, Hello and welcome through Palace intrig Gay,
2
00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:16.640
I'm your host Mark for answers. In The Daily Meal,
3
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.760
Allison Boshoff took a look at the Prince Harry reboot.
4
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:23.280
She writes, there's been a slightly skittish energy about Prince
5
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:25.760
Harry over the past two weeks as he has left
6
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.960
his Montecito mansion and gone solo from New York to
7
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:33.880
London to Lesotho, undertaking various speaking engagements at awards, ceremonies
8
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.159
and charitable panels and summits. You could see it in
9
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:40.679
the way he nervously cracked his knuckles while waiting to
10
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:42.799
address an audience in New York, and in the way
11
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:45.159
he wrung his hands and lilicked his lips on stage
12
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.479
a few days later at the well Child Awards in London.
13
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.960
And who could blame him for feeling apprehensive because the
14
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:56.119
past fortnight has seen Prince Harry essay a full relaunch
15
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.840
on the philanthropic scene after the score settling Pinnacle or
16
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.960
that Beat Nadir, which was his book, Spare Bad News,
17
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:06.599
seems to have a habit of following him wherever he goes.
18
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:10.079
Last week, with yet more terrible timing, the couple's head
19
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.079
of press, Ashley Hanson, announced she is stepping down to
20
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:16.159
launch her own agency. Megan quickly stepped in with a
21
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.519
gushy assessment of her qualities, and Hanson said he was
22
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.599
going to carry on looking after the Sussexes part time.
23
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.040
It left Megan trying to mastermind an almighty emergency pr
24
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.640
clean up exercise. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world,
25
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:32.719
Harry could only forge a head with his attempt to
26
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.719
relaunch as a global philanthropist. The trippers served to highlight
27
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.599
his isolation from the family and friends who once stood
28
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.079
by his side. One report suggests that one of his
29
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.200
security team, David Langdown, known as Langers, is now his
30
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.480
closest friend. If true, your heartbreaks for Harry, once the
31
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.000
most sociable and popular of young men, now reduced to
32
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.640
thinking that the men paid to keep him safe are
33
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.079
his besties. Many are wondering why Megan was left behind
34
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:01.879
in the latest travel After all, when he made two
35
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.760
faux royal tours earlier this year to Nigeria and Colombia,
36
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:09.520
his glamorous wife was firmly at his side. Sources in
37
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.919
California believe the new solo. Harry is Harry's own idea.
38
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.080
I hear he wanted it this way, says a well
39
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:20.680
placed Californian source. I believe he wants space. Former BBC
40
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.000
Royal correspondent Jenny bond It tells Okay, I think anyone
41
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:26.599
would feel more comfortable in the situation that they've been
42
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:29.759
accustomed to, and Harry has been championing the well Child
43
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.360
Awards for some sixteen years, so of course he looked
44
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.680
more relaxed in that environment than in the still somewhat
45
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.000
alien surroundings of La La Land. I don't think it's
46
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.199
got anything to do with being royal or not royal.
47
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.000
It's simply a question of an environment you are more
48
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.759
used to. Maybe we should stop analyzing every gesture and
49
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.919
every tie stroke and just appreciate that he is a
50
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.400
man trying to use his position to do some good
51
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:55.639
in the world. Maybe it's better for his kids as well,
52
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:58.199
for him to disappear for a fortnite and than be
53
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.759
at home rather than lots of comets and goings. Harry
54
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.719
is box office. He always had away with people and crownds,
55
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.000
and it's lovely to see him coming into his own
56
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.080
with charities and causes that he became involved with many
57
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.960
years ago. Married couples don't have to do everything together.
58
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.080
The children are young, it's much better for them to
59
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:19.960
have one parent at home, so it all makes perfect sense.
60
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:24.400
It's just Harry doing what Harry does best. Royal author
61
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:26.879
Ingrid Seward tells the Son, I think that Megan has
62
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.759
managed to alienate a lot of her former friends. She
63
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.479
does something which is very distressing for people. She actually
64
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.199
sort of just cuts them dead and ghosts them, as
65
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.240
it's called. But to me, it's just called cutting them
66
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.400
dead and not wanting to see them anymore. And if
67
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:42.560
they upset her, that's what she does, and it's very
68
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.960
difficult to deal with somebody like that. I think that
69
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:49.360
people are just fed up with Megan. Former UK Prime
70
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.639
Minister Boris Johnson discussed on LBC how he tried to
71
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:56.360
intervene back in Maxet. Johnson admitted it was a moment
72
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.639
of epic pomposity by me. He went on to praise
73
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:01.919
both Harry and Meghan for their dedication to causes like
74
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.639
female education and the Invictus Games. Johnson recalled how the
75
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:08.000
couple had made a strong impression at a Commonwealth event
76
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.919
noting that Meghan knew her stuff and Harry was equally committed.
77
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.599
Johnson shared details of a manly pep talk he had
78
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.040
with Prince Harry where he tried to convince the Duke
79
00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:22.199
to stay with ineffable pomposity. I said, Harry, do you
80
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.399
think you and Meghan really need to go to California? Really?
81
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:28.839
The meeting between the two lasted twenty minutes without any
82
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:33.000
aides present, but despite Johnson's best efforts, he couldn't persuade
83
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:37.160
Harry to change his mind. In another possible tell about
84
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:40.079
the real state of the King's health, Charles will not
85
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.199
be attending the COP twenty nine Climate summit in Azerbajan
86
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:45.720
next month, as he continues to manage his health while
87
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.480
undergoing cancer treatment. The decision to skip the summit comes
88
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:53.120
despite his long standing commitment to environmental causes and previous
89
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.920
participation in such events, including his passionate speech at COP
90
00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:01.079
twenty eight in Dubai last year warned that global efforts
91
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:06.000
to meet climate targets were dreadfully far off track. Organizers
92
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.319
had hoped Charles, known for his dedication to environmentalism, would
93
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.680
be present. However, Royal sources confirmed that he will not attend,
94
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.720
with the government deciding not to ask him citing concerns
95
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:18.639
over his busy schedule, which includes an upcoming autumn tour
96
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:23.279
of Australia and Samoa with Queen Camilla Pallas Intrigue be
97
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:29.560
Rare Back. Nachio Figueris spoke to people about the upcoming
98
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:33.399
Netflix polo series that apparently doesn't feature much of Harry.
99
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:36.680
Naucho tells people, look to me, it's an honor to
100
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.839
do anything with him. He's a dear friend. This is
101
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.800
more his project than it is mine. It's an honor
102
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.000
to know that I was able to help, and the
103
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.639
show is not about me, It's not about him. So
104
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.240
we've been working very hard on it and we're very
105
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:52.560
excited about the outcome. Look everything about it. I would
106
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:54.399
love for it to be kind of like a surprise.
107
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.560
But what I can tell you is that as a
108
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.199
polo player, I think this is something that I've been
109
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.639
waiting for entire life, you know, the behind the scenes
110
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:06.040
kind of like what Drive to Survive did for Formula One.
111
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:09.079
I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens. Hopefully this
112
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.800
will be the beginning of a hopefully longest series that
113
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:16.279
will expose our sport to millions of people. Netflix promises
114
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.240
the show follows elite global players and offers an exclusive
115
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.319
behind the scenes look at the fast paced world of
116
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.680
the sport. The British Royal families relationship with last names
117
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.560
has always been a bit well confusing. On their official website,
118
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.519
it's noted that members of the Royal family can be
119
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.439
known by either the name of their royal house or
120
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.360
a surname, but sometimes they don't bother with a last
121
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.600
name at all. When they do use the surname, it's
122
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:43.480
typically Windsor, though sometimes it's Mount Batten Windsor. This will
123
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:45.839
stems from King George to the Fifth, who in nineteen
124
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.399
seventeen decided to change the family name from Saxe, Coburg
125
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.319
and Gotha to Windsor in response to anti German sentiment
126
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.920
during World War One. Windsor was chosen after Windsor Castle,
127
00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:01.240
and it's stuck around ever since. Ten sixty, Queen Elizabeth
128
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.040
I and Prince Philip added Mount Batten into the mix
129
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:08.040
for their untitled descendants, creating the mouthful we now know
130
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:12.240
as Mount Batton Windsor. And if that wasn't complicated enough,
131
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.959
let's not forget the shifting titles. Prince William and Catherine
132
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.720
will once the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge before being
133
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:20.680
elevated to the Prince and Princess of Wales after the
134
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:24.160
passing of Queen Elizabeth I. Their children were also known
135
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.040
by the surname Cambridge in school, but now go by Wales.
136
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.160
So if you've lost track of who's called what, you're
