Did Prince Harry Make a Major Appearance Blunder on His UK Return?

0:00 Ah Callaroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome through Palace Intrigue. I am your post Mark Francis. As we juggle multiple storylines, all involving Harry, let's catch up on some items. Harry's first public appearance since arriving back in Britain was stepping out in London on Monday to support one of his closest friends, photographer and filmmaker miss And Harriman. The Duke attended the UK premiere of Harriman's documentary shoot The People, smiling for photographs alongside Harryman, filmmaker Andy Mundy Castle, and broadcaster Afu hirsh Harryman has been a longtime friend of Harry and Meghan.

0:43 He took the now famous photograph announcing the couple were expecting their second child in twenty twenty one, and later accompanied them during their visit to Nigeria in twenty four A spokesperson for Prince Harry told People magazine he was at last night's premiere to support his good friend Meissan and his brilliant new film shoot The People. Spokesperson added that Harry was in good form after arriving in Britain on Monday afternoon. They also said he's really happy to be back in the UK. I'm really looking forward to the week's engagements. Author Catherine Mayer, who attended the premier, described it as a very different atmosphere from a traditional royal engagement. There was the inverse of a typical royal event, the red carpet's tickets available to the public and no hints in advance of special guests. She said. The only advertised star attractions were the subjects of the film, Harriman and the activists he documents. In The Royalist, Tom Sykes had a different view, writing you might have thought that Prince Harry, on night one of his big reconciliation era returned to Britain, wouldn't have wanted to make the wrong kind of news. Instead, the Duke of Sussex, Jose has spent his first evening in London at a Piccadilly Circus film premiere, being photographed alongside Knees and Harriman, the super woke South Bank Center chairman who was stepping down early from one of the biggest arts jobs in the country amid in anti Semitism. Row Harry stood beside Harriman, who was wearing an anti Apartheid Club T shirt in a design sold online for twenty three dollars by the print on demand outfit Star Shirts. Silence continues. The Anti Apartheid Club is not an organization. It is a slogan of the pro Palestinian solidarity movement and it has become a

2:14 staple of Palestinian themed clothing. For Harriman, one of the most image literate activists in Britain, to dress for the biggest photocoll of his year in an anti Israel T shirt is completely consistent with his brand. But for Harry, the author of a recent essay on the dangerous conflation of anti Israel sentiment an anti Jewish hatred, to stand beside him for pictures while he's wearing that is a special kind of stupid. Regardless, the visit was quickly overshadowed by the public disagreement over accommodation, and then by the court ruling. In the Express, Emily Ferguson writes, it's just a shame that what could have been a good opportunity for the disgruntled Duke to showcase his ease and natural flare at conducting engagements and remind the public why he was so popular when he was working, Royal has been deletely dominated by his quest for armed security. It couldn't be worse timing for the Duke to receive the ruling on Tuesday, as it's likely to inflame the existing tensions within the royal household. This week will be crucial for the King's son to prove that he can be trusted and show that his heart lies in the right place.

3:15 But it's certainly going to be a major test of his loyalties and millions of eyes will be watching how the charade unfolds. While Harry was making headlines in Britain, Megan was focused on the business. The Duchess of Sussex sent a new newsletter to customers of her lifestyle brand as Ever, promoting one of the company's signature products, Raspberry Spread. The email opened with a line that some Royal commentators interpreted as a response to recent questions about the brand's performance. Some things never stay on the shelf for long, the newsletter read, It continued, our Raspberry spread has become one of those favorites. Rich for a breakfast, tugged into desserts, spooned onto gee's boards, and occasionally enjoyed straight from the jar. The message encouraged customers to keep a jar nearby for slow mornings. Prompt you gatherings in the everyday moments that deserve something a little extra. Piers Morgan tweeted about the court ruling, devastated about Prince Harry's fifty million pound high Court to feed to the Daily Mail. I do hope it doesn't bankrupt him. Separately, Morgan posted massive win for The Mail, massive defeat for the Ginger Winder and the other celebrities involved who love to use the media when it suits them. How delicious that he's come back to the UK just in time to be humiliated. Expect the mother of all tantrums later more powers In just a moment, Harry finds himself with an ally in the anti monarchy group Republic. The group tweeted Charles pays for Andrew to live in a huge home in its private estate, but he won't let his son state for a few nights in a palace he no longer uses. On one hand,

4:47 it's trivial psychodrama, but Charles is showing more concern for Andrew than Harry, who hasn't done anything wrong. For the eyepaper, Royal expert Jenny Bond writes it turned out to be a humiliating and expensive week for the Duke of Sussex, deny the protection he sought, left looking for a royal bed and now facing hempty costs after losing his lawsuit against associated newspapers, he seems more isolated than ever and this was precisely the kind of drama that Buckingham Palace didn't want on its doorstep. The timing of the court verdict was a contributing factor in an unholy mess which unraveled this week Over where a disgruntled prince might lay his angry head From a soap opera, The Windsors descended into a farce like a tennis ball that Wimbledon. The Prince and the Palace battered his request for somewhere safe to stay, back and forth, and in the end he lost out, just as he did in his lawsuit. So where does he go from here? First of all, the Prince needs to accept it's not just the Press or the Palace who are making his life so complicated. Bringing your kids to meet their grandfather, even after such a difficult period of estrangement, really shouldn't be that difficult. Harry and his family have reportedly been spending the past week or so enjoying themselves on holiday in Europe, probably in Portugal.

5:56 We haven't seen any pictures, and it seemed to have been trailed by Paparah and there haven't been any security issues as far as we know, So why couldn't they have just come to Britain quietly at the time when Harry wasn't in the middle of drumming up publicity for the Invictors games or being the centerpiece of a big lawsuit if needs be, we could have heard about a reconciliation with the King at a later date when the family was safely back in California, or not be told at all. To be fair, there also needs to be some more positive thinking from the other side. Harry should have been given security for his family for a few days they were planning to be here, and don't tell me there wasn't a bed available short notice. Surely Harry could have stayed with his dad at Clarence House, when Beatrice's apartment at Saint James Pallace, or Eugenie's pad in Kensington Palace, or indeed, in glorious isolation at Buckingham Palace.

6:43 I suspect Charles, known for his short fus, simply lost patience with his dithering son. But that doesn't help anyone. Harry should have apologized for mucking everyone around. Charles should have found him a bed and given him a hug. It really is time they all grew up. Friday could produce one of the more intriguing scheduling coincidences on the Royal calendar, with William and Harry carrying out separate high profile engagements on the same day. Harry will be in Birmingham for events marking the one year countdown to next years in Victor's Games, while Prince William will be on the polo field in Windsor for the annual Royal Charity Polo Cup. The charity match is now in its fifteenth year and it's raised more than fifteen million pounds for causes supported by the Prince and Princess of Wales. While William's polo match and Harry's and Victor's appearance fall on the same day, there was no indication that the timing is anything more than a coincidence, with both engagements having been scheduled well in advance. Despite some reports that Kate was encouraging William to see his brother. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams tells Fox News Princess Catherine would support whatever William decided in dealing with his brother. Looking at the chaos the visitors become, it isn't difficult to see why William and Catherine is certain to stay out of it. If the SUSSEXSS was sincere, it would be private. Royal commentator HELENEA.

7:56 Chard also disputed reports that Katherine is actively pushing for a reunion at Unfortunately, my sources do not believe Princess Catherine is pushing for Prince William to meet Prince Harry. She is, however, the one royal who could soften things emotionally. Hence the reason Princess Catherine, the peacemaker keeps wearing her head. That said, Chard added, Catherine will not allow her family and especially with them, to be sucked back into the Sussex situation. The Sussex circus of briefings, counterbriefings and public spectacle is seen as tiresome and frankly not good for the wales families well being. And there you have it.
