00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:13.439
Ah Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue.

2
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:17.199
I am your host, Frances, don't dress like a Nazi.

3
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.600
That's generally good advice and advice being passed on to

4
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.719
Princess Charlotte by Auntie Anne. Princess Anne is reportedly mentoring

5
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.960
her great niece, Princess Charlotte's the nine year old prepares

6
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.199
for her future role in the royal family. According to

7
00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.000
a source speaking to Women's Day, Anne is taking an

8
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:34.479
active role in teaching Charlotte the dos and don'ts of

9
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.399
royal life. The source reveals that Princess Anne is not

10
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:40.320
only providing practical advice, but also sharing some royal history,

11
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:44.960
including past blunders. Anne is reportedly discussing notable royal faux pasts,

12
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.479
such as her uncle's controversial Nazi uniform incident and Princess

13
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:53.000
Beatrice's infamous fascinator from her parents' wedding. Despite the serious

14
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.200
nature of the training, Charlotte and Anne appear to be

15
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.159
enjoying their time together. The insider notes they're taking all

16
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.200
the time, everything and anything, from women's football to ballet

17
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:06.719
fashion and manners. Essentially, she's full proofing Charlotte into becoming

18
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.719
the perfect princess and potential Queen. Princess Anne is also

19
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.040
working to ensure that Charlotte and a brother, Prince George,

20
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:16.799
maintain a strong sibling bond in contrast to the rivalry

21
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:19.239
scene between Prince William and Prince Harry. The goal is

22
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.120
to foster a relationship based on mutual respect, much like

23
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.120
Anne's own relationship with King Charles. Charlotte's parents Keat and

24
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.959
William are reportedly thrilled with Anne's involvement. The Royal Insider

25
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:31.560
shares they couldn't imagine a better role model than Anne,

26
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.000
who was renowned for her work, ethic and unwavering support

27
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:36.079
for the King. She doesn't put a foot wrong while

28
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.280
still having her opinions respected. Zara and Mike Tindall may

29
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.159
have to decline King Charles's invitation to the traditional summer

30
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.760
gathering at Balmoral Castle due to a scheduling conflict. Sarah,

31
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.799
and accomplished equestrianne and mother of three, is set to

32
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.079
compete in the Wellington International Horse Trials from August twenty

33
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.200
fourth to twenty six, which coincides with the royal family's

34
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:59.439
summer retreat in Scotland. As the horse trials overlapped with

35
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.680
the Royal family and you'll get together. It seems likely

36
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.640
that Zara and Mike will miss out on the family

37
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:07.200
festivities this year. The Royal family traditionally attends a Sunday

38
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.439
service at Crathy Kirk, located about five hundred miles from

39
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:14.319
the estate, during the same weekend. According to reports, King

40
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.759
Charles's keen for Zara and her family to join the gathering,

41
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:19.280
and there is talk of possibly rescheduling the church service

42
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.479
by a week to accommodate their attendance, and inside a

43
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.000
shared Charles really wants Zara and the family to join

44
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.000
him on that last Sunday in August for the Bank

45
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:31.080
Holiday service, but understands that her horse competitions are extremely

46
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.919
important to her. The King is hoping that the Tendalls

47
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:35.719
might be able to visit the week before the Bank

48
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.479
Holiday to join in the family activities, including picnics and

49
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:41.680
walks on the estate. A source added, Miya, Lena and

50
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.599
Lucas get on amazingly well with George, Charlotte and Lewis.

51
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.479
There will be lots of children there this year, so

52
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.039
they are planning a mixture of adult and junior events

53
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:52.800
to keep everyone entertained. Other reports suggest Charles would like

54
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.800
Harry and Meghan to come, but unfortunately Meghan is booked

55
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:58.400
through the year twenty ninety nine and won't be able

56
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.520
to make it a standard. Melanie macdonno writes, there is

57
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.680
out of touch with reality and there is Prince Harry's

58
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:08.639
concept of reality. One is excusable in privileged people like royalty.

59
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.360
The other entails a disassociation from the real world which

60
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.159
is just annoying. At the risk of adding my droplet

61
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.560
to the torrent, this suggestion that his problems with the

62
00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:20.520
press are central to his estrangement from his family is nuts.

63
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.759
Where do I start. Well, there was his decision to

64
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:26.599
DeCamp from the UK and leave the humdrum royal business

65
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:30.000
of attending things to people like his no nonsense aunt Anne,

66
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.479
who is right now over in Paris putting steel in

67
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.960
the spine of the UK Olympics team. That move may

68
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:39.280
have been prompted by his lovely wife, but he decamped willingly. Bind.

69
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:41.560
All of this has been that remarkable spectacle of Harry

70
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.120
and Meghan Give Us Privacy World Tour, in which the

71
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.719
pair use any available outlet to express their utter antipathy

72
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.439
to any media intrusion into their very private lives, while

73
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.360
at the same time making use of any and every

74
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:56.400
press outlet to flog their product, which is Sussex Royal

75
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:59.400
or whatever variant of the title is handiest. To put

76
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:02.199
it another way, their sole marketable commodity is not Megan's

77
00:04:02.199 --> 00:04:05.840
Delicious Preserves and Cooking Tips, but the residual glamour attaching

78
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.319
to their status and title, which is what makes people

79
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:11.639
sign up for Megans Tips and their podcasts that having

80
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:14.599
cake and eating cake philosophy must create with the Royals,

81
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:23.000
Pelacindric will be right back, Miss Alice left to say

82
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:27.279
five star review Bits of Royal Gossip five stars. I

83
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.360
love listening to the show for the sheer pleasure of

84
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.199
gaining bits of royal news with a twist of sarcasm

85
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.920
thrown in entertaining and a quick listen miss Alice via

86
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:40.519
Apple Podcasts USA, July twenty fourth, Thank you, miss Alice.

87
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.199
I threw a little extra sarcasm in this episode just

88
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.279
for you. Daily Express commentator James Whale suggests the world

89
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.399
needs to be nicer to Harry Whale rights. I have

90
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.079
to say in many of my fellow columnists and readers

91
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.160
may disagree. With me that he has my sympathies. The

92
00:04:56.399 --> 00:04:59.199
violence he talks about is a terrifying prospect, and the

93
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.360
vitriolic hatred against them continues. It's my belief that the

94
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.399
Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been subjected to the

95
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:08.439
most awful bullying in this country, much of it undeserved

96
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.319
and endlessly blasting Harry is getting us nowhere. Leave the

97
00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:15.000
poor soul alone. What we need is a little more love,

98
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:17.480
a lot more. In fact, there is too much disunity

99
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:19.879
in this world right now as it is, including the

100
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.639
war in Ukraine and the bloodshed in Gaza. If there

101
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:24.600
is one thing that could offer hope, it would be

102
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.879
Harry and his brother Prince William making amends. They've already

103
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:29.800
been through so much with the tragic death of their mother,

104
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:31.839
Princess Diana, but so one day they see the light

105
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.600
in supporting one another. I have not given up hope

106
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.639
just yet. Royal commentator Lee Cohen writes in The u

107
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.879
s Son Harry and Megan just love to complain, and

108
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.279
in America's largely optimistic society, that is a bad look.

109
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.600
While some of you the couple's openness as a brave

110
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:51.079
stance against institutional rigidity. Many others perceive it as ungrateful

111
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.639
and divisive. A segment of Americans, particularly those of us

112
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.079
who respect and admire the monarchy, find these repeated criticisms

113
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:02.240
disrespectful and unbecoming. So the Sussex's endless narrative of grievances

114
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.920
alienated many who once admired their candor. Royle expert Jenny

115
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.439
Bond adds, I suppose Americans have now got used to

116
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.560
the novelty of having a British prince making his home

117
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.360
in their country, and inevitably some of the glasses wearing off.

118
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.319
But Harry remains an immensely likable man, and I'm sure

119
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.879
his personality makes him as popular as ever with people

120
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.000
he associates with. Fame is often a double edged sword.

121
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.519
One minute you were sitting atop a pedestal of adoration,

122
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.160
and the next you are unroyally knocked off it. I

123
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:31.600
don't imagine that Harry takes a great deal of interest

124
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:35.040
in random polls about their popularity, but media savvy Meghan

125
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.639
might find it rather harder to swallow. And there you

126
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:41.160
have it. I'd like to email USO addresses the Palace
