Diddy wanted to party with Prince William and Prince Harry

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, and welcome to Palace Injury. I am your host, Mark Francis. In a now resurfaced interview Sean Diddy, Combs once joked about having Prince William and Prince Harry on his invite list these infamous parties. During a twenty eleven 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 did, he laughed it off, saying not anymore. They're off the list. This playful exchange, which was met with laughter at the time, has drawn renewed attention in light of recent charges against Diddy, including sex trafficking and racketeering.

0:50 While the two royals never attended Diddy's parties, they were photographed with him and Kanye West at an event in two thousand and seven. Despite the fun banter, their association with seems to have been minimal. An insider tells Closer, the word in publishing circles is that everyone's a rabbit to land. Megan's memoirs and the numbers being thrown around her ridiculously high. We're talking tens of millions for her authorized biography. Eventually, it's going to get to the point where she can't say no. She'll left to lay everything bare if she wants that kind of payday and figures around the one hundred million dollar markt being talked about her, she does a joint deal for a movie biopic. She really has had an extraordinary journey. Love her or hate her, there's no denying that she has an insight into the Royal family that no one else can share. The interest in her story isn't just in America or the UK.

1:39 This would be an international property. Source explained. It would obviously serve her in expanding her brand and power on top of the massive paycheck. It would not be good news for the Royals, but it's hard to imagine they won't have to face it sooner rather than later. There's no doubt Megan has a remarkable story. It's just a question of timing. She's strategically held off for the sake of peace. She absolutely wants to share her truth when the time is right. She will write a very truthful and detailed memoir that will delve into every aspect of her journey. As much as her life has been a fairy tale, it's come with a lot of painful experiences and she feels strongly she has a message to inspire people. She doesn't plan to sugarcoat anything from her childhood to her Hollywood career and of course her experiences within the royal family. As far as Team Sussex is concerned, this will happen and when it does, it will absolutely be a form of revenge. But the concern is whether it would throw a wrench into Harry's attempts to make peace.

2:33 Timing is crucial, but the royals should be nervous because all their machinations will be laid bare and it won't be pretty.

3:14 William and Kate reportedly had a romantic getaway last weekend at Balmoral without the kids. A source said the Prince and Princess had a private weekend and appeared to be on good form. The King was also in very good spirits. While Palace officials declined to comment due to the private nature of the trip, it is believed this is the first time in a while that William and Kate have taken a solo trip to Scotland without Prince George, Princes Charlotte or Prince Louis. King Charles may never reunite with his two youngest grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as Prince Harry reportedly refuses to bring his family to the UK due to concerns of their safety. In an ATV documentary Tabloids on Trial, Harry revealed his apprehensions about returning to the UK with Meghan and their children. This has led royal experts to express fears that King Charles, now seventy five, may never see Archie five and Little But three again, a situation described as incredibly sad. The last time Charles saw his grandchildren was in June twenty twenty two during the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Majesty's Magazines Managing editor Joe Little commented on the situations, saying it would be wonderful the King to visit his grandchildren, but it's unlikely due to the demands of his time and his health. A visit to America, where Harry and Meghan resigned seems improbable given the complexities of such a trip for a monarch. Royal author Margaret Holder added that logistical issues make it difficult for the King to travel privately to California, especially as King Charles is currently undergoing cancer treatment.

4:41 If Harry continues to avoid bringing his children to the UK, Charles may grow increasingly distant from them and inside it says that Prince Andrew never says anything bad about King Charles. A friend of Andrews tells the son, I have never heard him say anything negative about his brother, or indeed any member of his family is this not something he would do palacentric of a rat back. Princess Eugenie recently opened up about the transformative experience of motherhood and its profound influence on her charitable work. The youngest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, now a mother of two young sons, August and Ernest, described becoming a parent as the most special, mind blowing experience of a person's life.

5:25 She shared how a children have deepened her sense of purpose, stating, my children make my world go around. It's made me hungrier to do the work. This newfound motivation extends to her dedication of combating modern slavery, a course she has long championed. Eugenie emphasized her desire to educate not just her own children, but all young people about the importance of empathy and awareness, saying, I don't want anyone to reach the age of twenty one having not heard about modern slavery like I did. The debate over the real cost of the royal family has intensified, with anti monarchy group Republic claiming that taxpayers are footing a bill of five hundred and ten million pounds a year. This figure almost six times the eighty six million pound Sovereign Grant, which officially funds the monarchy. Republic argues that the real costs are hidden in factors like security, which they estimated one hundred and fifty million pounds, and lost income from royal property assets, among other expenses. Republic's chief executive, Graham Smith criticized the Monarchy's funding, saying how can we talk about cutting the winter fuel allowance while wasting half a billion pounds on the royals. The sovereign grant covers the staffing, travel and the upkeep of royal properties, but Republic claims it's a fraction of the turtle costs. They argue that security alone, which isn't included in the grant, these clearer accounting, urging the government to provide accurate figures. In their five hundred and ten million pound estimate. Republic also factors in the ninety nine million pounds from the Duchess of Lancaster and Cornwall, which they say should go to the public purse rather than the King and Prince of Wales. Additionally,

Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the report. However, in July, accounts for the Sovereign Grant showed funding would remain at eighty six million pounds for twenty twenty four twenty five, but rise to one hundred and thirty two million for twenty five twenty six, reflecting increased income from offshore wind farms. So Michael Stevens, a keeper of the Privy Purse, stated earlier that there was a determination to deliver value for money, even amid inflation and the transition following Queen Elizabeth.
