Show Notes
Transcript

In a now resurfaced interview, Sean 'Diddy' Combs once joked about having Prince William and Prince Harry on his invite list for his infamous parties. During a 2011 appearance on *The Graham Norton Show*, the rap mogul mentioned he wanted the royals to join him back when they were “young bucks” and “getting in a lot of trouble.” However, when asked if he would still extend the invite, Diddy laughed it off, saying, “Not anymore… they’re off the list.”

Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, and welcome to Palace Injury. I

2
00:00:14.160 --> 00:00:17.879
am your host, Mark Francis. In a now resurfaced interview

3
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.000
Sean Diddy, Combs once joked about having Prince William and

4
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.280
Prince Harry on his invite list these infamous parties. During

5
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.960
a twenty eleven appearance on The Graham Norton Show, the

6
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:31.039
Rap Mogul mentioned he wanted the royals to join him

7
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.399
back when they were young bucks and getting in a

8
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:36.119
lot of trouble. However, when asked if he would still

9
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.119
extend the invite did, he laughed it off, saying not anymore.

10
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.399
They're off the list. This playful exchange, which was met

11
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.280
with laughter at the time, has drawn renewed attention in

12
00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:50.159
light of recent charges against Diddy, including sex trafficking and racketeering.

13
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.719
While the two royals never attended Diddy's parties, they were

14
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:56.119
photographed with him and Kanye West at an event in

15
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.679
two thousand and seven. Despite the fun banter, their association

16
00:00:59.799 --> 00:01:03.119
with seems to have been minimal. An insider tells Closer,

17
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:06.400
the word in publishing circles is that everyone's a rabbit

18
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:09.439
to land. Megan's memoirs and the numbers being thrown around

19
00:01:09.439 --> 00:01:13.040
her ridiculously high. We're talking tens of millions for her

20
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.159
authorized biography. Eventually, it's going to get to the point

21
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.239
where she can't say no. She'll left to lay everything

22
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.480
bare if she wants that kind of payday and figures

23
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.200
around the one hundred million dollar markt being talked about her,

24
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.480
she does a joint deal for a movie biopic. She

25
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.200
really has had an extraordinary journey. Love her or hate her,

26
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:33.519
there's no denying that she has an insight into the

27
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.280
Royal family that no one else can share. The interest

28
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:39.439
in her story isn't just in America or the UK.

29
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.799
This would be an international property. Source explained. It would

30
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.879
obviously serve her in expanding her brand and power on

31
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.599
top of the massive paycheck. It would not be good

32
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.519
news for the Royals, but it's hard to imagine they

33
00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:54.040
won't have to face it sooner rather than later. There's

34
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.159
no doubt Megan has a remarkable story. It's just a

35
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.439
question of timing. She's strategically held off for the sake

36
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:02.599
of peace. She absolutely wants to share her truth when

37
00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:04.719
the time is right. She will write a very truthful

38
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.920
and detailed memoir that will delve into every aspect of

39
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.039
her journey. As much as her life has been a

40
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.680
fairy tale, it's come with a lot of painful experiences

41
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.800
and she feels strongly she has a message to inspire people.

42
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:19.199
She doesn't plan to sugarcoat anything from her childhood to

43
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.840
her Hollywood career and of course her experiences within the

44
00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:25.120
royal family. As far as Team Sussex is concerned, this

45
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.199
will happen and when it does, it will absolutely be

46
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.919
a form of revenge. But the concern is whether it

47
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.400
would throw a wrench into Harry's attempts to make peace.

48
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.719
Timing is crucial, but the royals should be nervous because

49
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.439
all their machinations will be laid bare and it won't

50
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:43.520
be pretty. In today's bonus episode of Palace Intrigue, available

51
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.960

52

61
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.120
William and Kate reportedly had a romantic getaway last weekend

62
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.599
at Balmoral without the kids. A source said the Prince

63
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:22.719
and Princess had a private weekend and appeared to be

64
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.560
on good form. The King was also in very good spirits.

65
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.800
While Palace officials declined to comment due to the private

66
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:30.879
nature of the trip, it is believed this is the

67
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.759
first time in a while that William and Kate have

68
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.960
taken a solo trip to Scotland without Prince George, Princes

69
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.680
Charlotte or Prince Louis. King Charles may never reunite with

70
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:43.280
his two youngest grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as

71
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.840
Prince Harry reportedly refuses to bring his family to the

72
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.840
UK due to concerns of their safety. In an ATV

73
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:53.560
documentary Tabloids on Trial, Harry revealed his apprehensions about returning

74
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.400
to the UK with Meghan and their children. This has

75
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.560
led royal experts to express fears that King Charles, now

76
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:03.159
seventy five, may never see Archie five and Little But

77
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:07.719
three again, a situation described as incredibly sad. The last

78
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:11.159
time Charles saw his grandchildren was in June twenty twenty

79
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:16.839
two during the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Majesty's Magazines

80
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.839
Managing editor Joe Little commented on the situations, saying it

81
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.000
would be wonderful the King to visit his grandchildren, but

82
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.600
it's unlikely due to the demands of his time and

83
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.480
his health. A visit to America, where Harry and Meghan

84
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.959
resigned seems improbable given the complexities of such a trip

85
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:35.199
for a monarch. Royal author Margaret Holder added that logistical

86
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.560
issues make it difficult for the King to travel privately

87
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.319
to California, especially as King Charles is currently undergoing cancer treatment.

88
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.680
If Harry continues to avoid bringing his children to the UK,

89
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:49.920
Charles may grow increasingly distant from them and inside it

90
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.879
says that Prince Andrew never says anything bad about King Charles.

91
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.560
A friend of Andrews tells the son, I have never

92
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.399
heard him say anything negative about his brother, or indeed

93
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:01.199
any member of his family is this not something he

94
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:09.319
would do palacentric of a rat back. Princess Eugenie recently

95
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:12.160
opened up about the transformative experience of motherhood and its

96
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.879
profound influence on her charitable work. The youngest daughter of

97
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.360
Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, now a mother of two

98
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.519
young sons, August and Ernest, described becoming a parent as

99
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:25.439
the most special, mind blowing experience of a person's life.

100
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.800
She shared how a children have deepened her sense of purpose, stating,

101
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.000
my children make my world go around. It's made me

102
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.199
hungrier to do the work. This newfound motivation extends to

103
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:38.720
her dedication of combating modern slavery, a course she has

104
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.600
long championed. Eugenie emphasized her desire to educate not just

105
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:44.920
her own children, but all young people about the importance

106
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.639
of empathy and awareness, saying, I don't want anyone to

107
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.319
reach the age of twenty one having not heard about

108
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:54.120
modern slavery like I did. The debate over the real

109
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.800
cost of the royal family has intensified, with anti monarchy

110
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.519
group Republic claiming that taxpayers are footing a bill of

111
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.560
five hundred and ten million pounds a year. This figure

112
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.519
almost six times the eighty six million pound Sovereign Grant,

113
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:10.439
which officially funds the monarchy. Republic argues that the real

114
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:14.079
costs are hidden in factors like security, which they estimated

115
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.160
one hundred and fifty million pounds, and lost income from

116
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:22.519
royal property assets, among other expenses. Republic's chief executive, Graham

117
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.519
Smith criticized the Monarchy's funding, saying how can we talk

118
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:28.040
about cutting the winter fuel allowance while wasting half a

119
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.920
billion pounds on the royals. The sovereign grant covers the staffing,

120
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:34.920
travel and the upkeep of royal properties, but Republic claims

121
00:06:34.959 --> 00:06:37.199
it's a fraction of the turtle costs. They argue that

122
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:41.079
security alone, which isn't included in the grant, these clearer accounting,

123
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.120
urging the government to provide accurate figures. In their five

124
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.879
hundred and ten million pound estimate. Republic also factors in

125
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:50.240
the ninety nine million pounds from the Duchess of Lancaster

126
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.720
and Cornwall, which they say should go to the public

127
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.639
purse rather than the King and Prince of Wales. Additionally,

128
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.000
they claim royal residences could generate ninety six million pounds

129
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.800
annually if used commercially, and they include costs from local

130
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:08.519
authorities for royal visits. Buckingham Palace declined to comment on

131
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.240
the report. However, in July, accounts for the Sovereign Grant

132
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.279
showed funding would remain at eighty six million pounds for

133
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:17.560
twenty twenty four twenty five, but rise to one hundred

134
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:21.040
and thirty two million for twenty five twenty six, reflecting

135
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.399
increased income from offshore wind farms. So Michael Stevens, a

136
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:27.319
keeper of the Privy Purse, stated earlier that there was

137
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:31.040
a determination to deliver value for money, even amid inflation

138
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:36.040
and the transition following Queen Elizabeth. The seconds passing and
