00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.640
Calorogus Shark Media now low and welcome to Palace Intrigue Game,

2
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:18.920
your host, Mark Francis. Megan Michael's newly rebranded lifestyle brand

3
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.879
as Ever is set to launch this spring with an

4
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.000
unexpected array of products ranging from table where to gourmet

5
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:28.280
food items. Following the recent announcement of the brand's name

6
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:32.039
change from American Rivera Orchard two as Ever, new trademark

7
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:36.960
filings reveal that the Duchess of Sussex intensity selection of jams, butters, jellies, chocolates,

8
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.520
and even dried biscuit and crape mixes. According to the Telegraph,

9
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.079
the application to expand into these products was made just

10
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.560
hours after the rebrand was unveiled. Meanwhile, it appears that

11
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:51.280
Megan's upcoming Netflix culinary and lifestyle series has drawn significant

12
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.359
comparisons to Pamela Anderson's Cooking with Love, with many online

13
00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:00.000
observers suggesting that the similarities are more than coincidental. Pamela's series,

14
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.920
which debuted in October twenty twenty four on Flavor Network,

15
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:07.239
was introduced with a trailer featuring the Baywatch stars strolling

16
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.719
through a lush garden admiring fresh produce, and later welcoming

17
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:13.920
chefs into her kitchen to prepare meals for loved ones.

18
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:18.000
Meghan's recently unveiled teaser follows a strikingly similar format, right

19
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.239
down to the high fiving of guests. Beyond the visuals,

20
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.120
the dialogue in both trailers also shares a familiar tone.

21
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.319
Pamela describes her desire to take things to another level,

22
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.840
while Megan speaks of elevating the ordinary, two statements that,

23
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:35.040
while not identical, resonate in a comparable spirit. The resemblance

24
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:38.239
has not gone unnoticed on social media. One commenter on

25
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.079
x remarked, if you watch the trailer for Pamela's new show,

26
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:43.920
it's a more authentic version of what Megan was trying

27
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.120
to achieve, and it looks though Meghan had copied everything.

28
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:50.120
The trailers are so similar it's freaky. Another bluntly stated,

29
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.400
Michael's Show is a straight copy of Pamela Anderson's cooking

30
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.519
and Entertaining show. Speculation is mounting that Megan may make

31
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.000
an appearance of this year's Academy Awards. Move the peace

32
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:03.640
our experts suggest would reinforce her pivot back towards the

33
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:08.240
entertainment industry. Speaking to Sportsbook, Review pr specialist Lynn Carrett

34
00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.800
observed that such an appearance, particularly if she was to

35
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.360
attend alone, would signal Meghan's intent to solidify her brand

36
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.479
beyond the royal family. It has also been suggested that

37
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:20.400
the Academy had extended an invitation to both Megan and

38
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:24.080
Prince Harry last year, though the couple ultimately declined due

39
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:26.560
to having no reason to attend at the time. With

40
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.479
their Netflix deal now nearing its conclusion, Meghan's presence at

41
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:32.439
the Oscars could be a strategic move to bolster interest

42
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:36.159
in their final projects under the agreement. Royal expert Duncan

43
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:40.879
Larkholm commented to Okay about the photographs of the Sussex children.

44
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.080
Given Harry's views on publicity, fans were probably shocked to

45
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.960
see little Bit again so soon. If Harry could waive

46
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:48.639
a magic one day and think, he'd want a world

47
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:50.960
where his children would never be recognized or seen as

48
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:54.560
public property in any way, because he hated that himself.

49
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.000
He's wrestled with it his whole life. But Megan is

50
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.479
building a brand and that is somewhat at odds with

51
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.360
life out of the limelights. So this is where alarm

52
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:04.680
bells might start to ring down the line for Harry.

53
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:08.520
She's sharing their children tentatively, but it's a very big

54
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.199
deal because it's a tap they won't get to turn off.

55
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:14.360
When their children are young adults hanging out in Hollywood,

56
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.439
they'll be gazing into cameras left right in the center.

57
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.479
Because the Royal thing won't go away. The Royals are

58
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:21.719
famous before they're born, they're famous all their lives, and

59
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:26.080
they're famous after their deaths. Their celebrity never fades. King

60
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:29.120
Charles has once again opened the grounds of Sandringham House

61
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.479
to host a Heritage Live concert this summer, with an

62
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.960
impressive lineup that includes none other than Mariah Carey. The

63
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.240
American Superstar is set to perform on August fifteenth, followed

64
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:43.719
by Welsh rockers Stereophonics on August sixteenth and Canadian crooner

65
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:47.599
and noted friend of Prince Harry Michael Boublay on August seventeen.

66
00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:50.199
This Monk's the latest in the growing tradition of concerts

67
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.159
at the Royal Estate, which previously welcome acts such as

68
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:56.919
Robbie Williams, The Who and Van Morrison in twenty twenty three.

69
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.719
While Sandringham is traditionally associated with the Royal families Christmas celebrations.

70
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.280
These summer concerts are quickly becoming a highlight in the

71
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:07.639
estate's calendar, drawing thousands of music fans to the historic grounds.

72
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:11.039
With King Charles continued embrace of cultural events at royal properties,

73
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.360
sandry M House is once again said to be in

74
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:16.279
the spotlight, this time for its festive gatherings, but for

75
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:21.439
some high profile musical performances under the Norfolk sky. For

76
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:23.399
those in the market for a used land rover with

77
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.759
a rather legal history, and opportunity has arisen to acquire

78
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.480
a Defender ninety that once belonged to King Charles the Third.

79
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.639
The vehicle, originally purchased in twenty ten when Charles was

80
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:36.040
still Prince of Wales, is set to go under the hammer,

81
00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.600
with an estimated price range of forty three to fifty

82
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:43.120
thousand pounds. Given its providence, the price may seem rather reasonable.

83
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.120
The Defender has covered just twenty five thousand miles over

84
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.199
the past fifteen years, practically illegally strolled in automotive terms.

85
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:53.920
Iconic auctioneers overseeing the sale suggest the King himself was

86
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.720
behind the wheel, as indicated by the miner ware on

87
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.600
the driver's seat. The vehicle remains in fine condition, featuring

88
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.639
its original Keswick green exterior and gray interior. It has

89
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.439
been maintained by a meticulous current owner and comes with

90
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:11.519
an assortment of documentation, including a land Rover Motoring User's

91
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.439
Guide and a period certificate of motor insurance. Notable features

92
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.399
include a two point four liter diesel engine, a six

93
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.319
speed manual gearbox, four wheel drive, and heated front seats

94
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:26.279
and screens. Elements of comfort amidst its otherwise rugged design. However,

95
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.800
interested by I should note that the number plate seventy

96
00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.720
two HRH is not included in the sale, though discussions

97
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.439
with the present owner may be possible for those key

98
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:43.240
to retain that particular detail. Pallace intriguable at back. The

99
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:47.079
Royal Ascot Millinery Collective celebrates its tenth anniversary this year,

100
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:51.600
marking a decade of extraordinary craftsmanship with a historic showcase

101
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:55.040
at London Fashion Week. Under the creative direction of British

102
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.439
designer Daniel Fletcher, the twenty twenty five collection brought together

103
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:01.519
a diverse group of milliners, many of whom have long

104
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:05.279
standing ties to the Royal family. Several milliners featured in

105
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.000
this year's collection of created designs worn by members of

106
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.680
the royal family on significant occasions. Among them is Jane Taylor,

107
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.680
whose elegant creations have been a staple in royal wardrobes

108
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.079
for years. The Princess of Wales has chosen Taylor's designs

109
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.759
for the christenings of all three of her children, while

110
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.920
the Duchess of Edinburgh has remained a loyal client since

111
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:27.399
two thousand and nine. Taylor spoke of Sophie's unwavering support,

112
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:30.399
stating her loyalty has been truly integral to my career

113
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.920
and I have created dozens, perhaps even hundreds of pieces

114
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.879
for her. Another celebrated milliner, A One Golding, has seen

115
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.120
her work worn by both Catherine and Meghan. The Princess

116
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.680
of Wales dned one of Golding's designs on Easter Sunday

117
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.040
and for the service of Thanksgiving for the late Duke

118
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:49.480
of Edinburgh. Meanwhile, Meghan personally selected a distinctive feathered golden

119
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.839
creation for Christmas in twenty eighteen, a moment the milliner

120
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:56.639
described as a true pinch me moment. Edinburgh based Sally

121
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.720
Anne pro Van has also left her mark on royal

122
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:04.519
fam with her floral monochrome straw boater making a striking

123
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.240
appearance at Royal Ascot on Catherine in twenty twenty two.

124
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.800
Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have both worn her designs

125
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:14.040
in the prestigious racing event, notably choosing them for Ladies'

126
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.800
Day in twenty eighteen. Millinery legend Stephen Jones, who began

127
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.720
working with Princess Diana early in her marriage, continues to

128
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:24.720
shape royal headwear. He recalls their fittings fondly, sharing that

129
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.079
she realized that wearing a hat was an important part

130
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:29.920
of her being royal and looking regal. His relationship with

131
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.720
the House of Windsor has continued through collaborations with Beatrice,

132
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:35.680
Eugenie and Megan, who he praises for her innate sense

133
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:38.399
of style. She always wears the hat, the hat doesn't

134
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.319
wear her and there you have it. If you like
