0:00 Ah Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Frances, don't dress like a Nazi. That's generally good advice and advice being passed on to Princess Charlotte by Auntie Anne. Princess Anne is reportedly mentoring her great niece, Princess Charlotte's the nine year old prepares for her future role in the royal family. According to a source speaking to Women's Day, Anne is taking an active role in teaching Charlotte the dos and don'ts of royal life. The source reveals that Princess Anne is not only providing practical advice, but also sharing some royal history, including past blunders. Anne is reportedly discussing notable royal faux pasts, such as her uncle's controversial Nazi uniform incident and Princess Beatrice's infamous fascinator from her parents' wedding. Despite the serious nature of the training, Charlotte and Anne appear to be enjoying their time together. The insider notes they're taking all the time, everything and anything, from women's football to ballet fashion and manners. Essentially, she's full proofing Charlotte into becoming the perfect princess and potential Queen. Princess Anne is also working to ensure that Charlotte and a brother, Prince George, maintain a strong sibling bond in contrast to the rivalry scene between Prince William and Prince Harry.

1:31 who was renowned for her work, ethic and unwavering support for the King. She doesn't put a foot wrong while still having her opinions respected. Zara and Mike Tindall may have to decline King Charles's invitation to the traditional summer gathering at Balmoral Castle due to a scheduling conflict. Sarah, and accomplished equestrianne and mother of three, is set to compete in the Wellington International Horse Trials from August twenty fourth to twenty six, which coincides with the royal family's summer retreat in Scotland. As the horse trials overlapped with the Royal family and you'll get together. It seems likely that Zara and Mike will miss out on the family festivities this year. The Royal family traditionally attends a Sunday service at Crathy Kirk, located about five hundred miles from the estate, during the same weekend. According to reports, King Charles's keen for Zara and her family to join the gathering, and there is talk of possibly rescheduling the church service by a week to accommodate their attendance, and inside a shared Charles really wants Zara and the family to join him on that last Sunday in August for the Bank Holiday service, but understands that her horse competitions are extremely important to her. The King is hoping that the Tendalls might be able to visit the week before the Bank Holiday to join in the family activities, including picnics and walks on the estate. A source added, Miya, Lena and Lucas get on amazingly well with George, Charlotte and Lewis.

2:44 There will be lots of children there this year, so they are planning a mixture of adult and junior events to keep everyone entertained. Other reports suggest Charles would like Harry and Meghan to come, but unfortunately Meghan is booked through the year twenty ninety nine and won't be able to make it a standard. Melanie macdonno writes, there is out of touch with reality and there is Prince Harry's concept of reality. One is excusable in privileged people like royalty. The other entails a disassociation from the real world which is just annoying. At the risk of adding my droplet to the torrent, this suggestion that his problems with the press are central to his estrangement from his family is nuts. Where do I start. Well, there was his decision to DeCamp from the UK and leave the humdrum royal business of attending things to people like his no nonsense aunt Anne, who is right now over in Paris putting steel in the spine of the UK Olympics team. That move may have been prompted by his lovely wife, but he decamped willingly. Bind.

3:39 All of this has been that remarkable spectacle of Harry and Meghan Give Us Privacy World Tour, in which the pair use any available outlet to express their utter antipathy to any media intrusion into their very private lives, while at the same time making use of any and every press outlet to flog their product, which is Sussex Royal or whatever variant of the title is handiest. To put it another way, their sole marketable commodity is not Megan's Delicious Preserves and Cooking Tips, but the residual glamour attaching to their status and title, which is what makes people sign up for Megans Tips and their podcasts that having cake and eating cake philosophy must create with the Royals, Pelacindric will be right back, Miss Alice left to say five star review Bits of Royal Gossip five stars. I love listening to the show for the sheer pleasure of gaining bits of royal news with a twist of sarcasm thrown in entertaining and a quick listen miss Alice via Apple Podcasts USA, July twenty fourth, Thank you, miss Alice.

4:40 I threw a little extra sarcasm in this episode just for you. Daily Express commentator James Whale suggests the world needs to be nicer to Harry Whale rights. I have to say in many of my fellow columnists and readers may disagree. With me that he has my sympathies. The violence he talks about is a terrifying prospect, and the vitriolic hatred against them continues. It's my belief that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been subjected to the most awful bullying in this country, much of it undeserved and endlessly blasting Harry is getting us nowhere. Leave the poor soul alone. What we need is a little more love, a lot more. In fact, there is too much disunity in this world right now as it is, including the war in Ukraine and the bloodshed in Gaza. If there is one thing that could offer hope, it would be Harry and his brother Prince William making amends. They've already been through so much with the tragic death of their mother, Princess Diana, but so one day they see the light in supporting one another. I have not given up hope just yet. Royal commentator Lee Cohen writes in The u s Son Harry and Megan just love to complain, and in America's largely optimistic society, that is a bad look.

5:44 While some of you the couple's openness as a brave stance against institutional rigidity. Many others perceive it as ungrateful and divisive. A segment of Americans, particularly those of us who respect and admire the monarchy, find these repeated criticisms disrespectful and unbecoming. So the Sussex's endless narrative of grievances alienated many who once admired their candor. Royle expert Jenny Bond adds, I suppose Americans have now got used to the novelty of having a British prince making his home in their country, and inevitably some of the glasses wearing off. But Harry remains an immensely likable man, and I'm sure his personality makes him as popular as ever with people he associates with. Fame is often a double edged sword. One minute you were sitting atop a pedestal of adoration, and the next you are unroyally knocked off it. I don't imagine that Harry takes a great deal of interest in random polls about their popularity, but media savvy Meghan might find it rather harder to swallow. And there you have it.
