Calaruga Shark Media. Today, Prince William leads the nation in
2
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:14.199
commemorating Holocaust Memorial Day. Princess Anne tells us what she
3
00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:17.519
remembers about her horse accident it's not much. And how
4
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:19.600
Prince Harry is going to wind up text on his
5
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:28.239
settlement because he's a resident of California. Now, Hello, and
6
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:31.280
welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis.
7
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.960
On January twenty seventh, nineteen forty five, Soviet soldiers opened
8
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:40.119
the gates of Auschwitz concentration Camp, liberating more than seven
9
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:43.359
thousand prisoners. It has estimated that approximately one point one
10
00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:46.560
million people perished in Auschwitz during the five years of
11
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:51.039
its operation. The liberation will be marked with services worldwide.
12
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:54.880
Prince William will lead the nation and commemorating Holocaust Memorial
13
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.119
Day with a poignant speech. In London. William will deliverate
14
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:01.039
reading at a special service themed for a Better Future,
15
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:04.680
attended by survivors and international guests who have dedicated their
16
00:01:04.719 --> 00:01:08.840
lives to fighting extremism. William's role underscores his commitment to
17
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:13.640
remembrance and education, echoing previous royal efforts to honor Holocaust
18
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:17.760
survivors and victims of genocide. King Charles will make a
19
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.280
historic visit to Auschwitz Berkanau in Poland, becoming the first
20
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:25.560
British monarch to visit the infamous concentration camp. Charles will
21
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:28.879
tour the site with Holocaust survivors and meet the Polish President.
22
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:31.840
The King has described the dwindling number of survivors as
23
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.040
a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving their stories
24
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:39.760
for future generations. Prince William had his own brush with
25
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.159
royalty during a visit to Liverpool last week, sharing the
26
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:47.200
pitch with football legend Sir Kenny Doglish. The Prince joined
27
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:50.000
a casual kick about at the tiber Of Football Center
28
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:54.799
in Tokstith yesterday, where Doglish, affectionately known as King Kenny
29
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:59.359
to Liverpool fans, watched from the sidelines. Dressed in trainers
30
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:03.319
and lightweight jacket. Despite the freezing temperatures, William kept things light,
31
00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.879
joking I'm not going to go around slide tackling am I.
32
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.479
He joined young players for a game, making a few
33
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.960
passes while being careful not to overdo it. Their coach
34
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.879
had earlier warned them, remember who you're playing against. Don't
35
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.039
go in too hard. After the match, Sir Kenny appeared
36
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:23.960
to humorously commend William's efforts. The Prince, still catching his breath, quipped, no,
37
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.080
not at all. I was like, just pass me the ball.
38
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.159
I was running around chasing them. Acknowledging the risks of
39
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.919
jumping into a game on a cold day, he joked
40
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:34.680
about the dangers of pulling a hamstring. We'll ignore that.
41
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:36.560
It's the worst thing when you turn up and try
42
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:40.840
to play cold. William also visited Cycle of Life, which
43
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.199
works to help young people improve their physical and mental
44
00:02:43.240 --> 00:02:46.840
health through cycling. William pumped a bicycle time and enjoyed
45
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.439
a hot chocolate. He tested some bike brakes and explained
46
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.120
the correct way to stop was to squeeze both brakes
47
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.159
at the same time, but joked, my children quite like
48
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:58.960
pulling just this backbrake and sliding along using the back
49
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.080
wheel will come past you. There is a technique as
50
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.400
part of operation get them to stop talking about my
51
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.000
brother Harry. William was seen taking the train and chatting
52
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.360
with fellow passengers. Royal watcher Jenny Bond told the Mirror
53
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:13.159
for a while now William has been putting into action
54
00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.719
the way that he intends to do the job, and that,
55
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.919
as he now made clear as royal with a small R,
56
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.479
you could say that the small R also stands for relatable,
57
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.800
because that is what he is showing himself to be.
58
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.520
I think he gets quite a kick out of surprising
59
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.439
people by taking calls in a restaurant, serving people from
60
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.080
burger stalls, or dropping into a pub to buy a
61
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:35.479
round of drinks. I think William finds it refreshing to
62
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.360
be able to interact with all the fuss that generally
63
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.599
goes with a royal visit, and I'm sure he also
64
00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:44.439
realizes that in pr terms, it's extremely effective. It's important
65
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.080
for the royal family to be in touch as much
66
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:49.960
as possible with the way ordinary people feel. It also
67
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.800
gets the media to stop talking about Harry. Princess Anne
68
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.479
has opened up about a frightening horse related incident that
69
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.719
left her hospitalized and taught her a stark life lesson
70
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.240
every day is a bonus. The Princess Royal, who sustained
71
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:07.039
a concussion and bruises during the accident at her Gatcombe
72
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:10.599
Park estate last June, admitted she has no memory of
73
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:14.479
the ordeal, which emergency responders suggested likely involved a horse
74
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:17.959
speaking candidly. During a recent visit to Cape Town, Princess
75
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.000
Anne revealed that she was en route to check on
76
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.519
her chickens when the accident occurred, but the details remain
77
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.000
a mystery. I know where I thought I was going,
78
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:28.519
and that was to go to the chickens. No nothing
79
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.120
to do with the horses. I don't have any idea
80
00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:31.680
what I was doing in the field because I never
81
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.439
normally went that way. It just reminds you you never
82
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.240
quite know, and something happens and you might not recover.
83
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.000
As for lingering effects, Anne says, apparently not, at least
84
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.040
they don't think so. As far as I know, nobody
85
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.600
else thinks so. So they haven't been honest enough to
86
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:52.759
tell me yet. Palace Intrigue were right. Back in the
87
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.480
Daily Mail, Richard Eden shares at Prince Ary may not
88
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.839
actually receive all that much money from his settlement. A
89
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.360
source tells Eden much of the payment will go to
90
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.600
lawyer's fees, and as for the rest. As a US resident,
91
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:07.600
Harry has to pay tax on his worldwide income unless
92
00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:10.199
it's been taxed in Britain. And here is the sting
93
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.480
in the tale. Legal damages are not taxed in the UK.
94
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:17.319
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told skyne Us Australia that Harry
95
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:20.399
and Meghan were upset by the Vanity Fair piece. She said,
96
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:22.920
it is my understanding that they are upset over it,
97
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:24.920
and I'm being told that things aren't good for them
98
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.600
right now between Meghan's show being postponed, which I've heard
99
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.480
was Netflix's idea, and just the idea that she has
100
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.160
worked so hard to rebrand herself and becomes a very
101
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:38.680
respected publication reiterating some of the nastiest claims about her.
102
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:41.199
So I think they are bruised and they are sitting
103
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.399
back trying to figure out how to process going forward.
104
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:48.000
People picked the wrong week to do a cover story
105
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.160
on the Royals. While all eyes were on Harry and Meghan,
106
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:53.600
both with the settlement and the Vanity Fair article, People
107
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.240
handed in a Kate his wonderful piece, with a source
108
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.759
telling people in this week's cover story that the couple
109
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:00.800
is now more open and willing to talk about their
110
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.399
relationship together. We learned that the past year has been
111
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.160
particularly trying for the Royal family, but it has also
112
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.399
brought a deeper bond between William and Kate. A Royal
113
00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:13.879
insider shared for the princess family, her husband and children
114
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:17.240
are more important than anything else. In other words, we
115
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:21.279
learned nothing new. Royal biographer Ingrid Seward noted that William's
116
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:24.959
public displays of affection stem from gratitude. William must feel
117
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.360
so fortunate that Kate has come through this that he
118
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.160
wants to tell the world about that love. It shows
119
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:34.279
the intimacy of them sharing that journey together. Royal historian
120
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.839
doctor Amanda Foreman echoed this sentiment, stating their marriage is
121
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.120
strong and they are being honest about it. They feel
122
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.639
they are very lucky to be married to each other.
123
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.439
