00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:10.400
A calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas intrigy Gay.

2
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:15.000
I'm your host, Mark Francis. Princess Eugenie has reportedly cut

3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.120
off all contact with her father Andrew. The Mail on

4
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:21.600
Sunday reports that Andrew is devastated by the breakdown in

5
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:25.440
his relationship with his younger daughter, saying Eugenie is refusing

6
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.839
to speak to him and did not visit him over Christmas.

7
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:31.760
One source told The Mail on Sunday that the rift

8
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:35.600
has escalated into complete silence, saying there is no contact

9
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:39.560
at all. Nothing. It's Brooklyn Backham level. She has completely

10
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.600
cut him off. By contrast, the paper reports that Princess

11
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:46.520
Beatrice is attempting what it describes as a more delicate

12
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.560
balancing act. According to the report, Beatrice invited her father

13
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.320
to the christening of her eleven month old daughter Athena

14
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:56.920
last month, but Andrew did not attend a pub gathering afterwards.

15
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.840
One source said Beatrice is trying to walk the fine

16
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.640
life of not cutting her father off and yet remaining

17
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.319
close to the royal family. They aren't exactly in regular

18
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.480
and close contact at the moment, but Eugenie isn't trying

19
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:13.599
to walk that line. She's not speaking to him. I

20
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:17.000
saw As tells The National Inquirer Andrew is eyeing moving

21
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:18.959
to the Middle East. He says he can have a

22
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.439
fresh start there because it's more old school. Andrew's convinced

23
00:01:22.599 --> 00:01:26.480
people won't constantly judge him. Andrew genuinely thinks he can

24
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.159
still cash in on his former royal status. He's got

25
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:31.640
this idea that he'll be welcomed into a community of

26
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.439
expats over there and embraced like it's the good old days.

27
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:36.760
He's even talking about how he wants to get back

28
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:41.159
to dating. Andrew has absolutely no intention of settling quietly

29
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.879
into Sandringham. He sees it as humiliating and beneath him.

30
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.359
He says, if Charles thinks he can park him in

31
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.400
some falling down dump and pretend he no longer exists,

32
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.480
he has another thing coming. I saw As tells The

33
00:01:54.519 --> 00:01:57.239
Express Sarah Ferguson is seriously worried about how on earth

34
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.799
she's going to maintain her lifestyle. Somebody else always picked

35
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:03.760
up the tab even when she spent more than she had.

36
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.879
The insider added that she has been very well taken

37
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.919
care of over the years by various boyfriends, friends and acquaintances.

38
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.879
It was quite normal for her to be invited to

39
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.120
an expensive hotel or spa given the five star VIP

40
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.039
treatment for a few days in exchange for her simply

41
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:25.240
being there. But now nobody wants her. Good news for

42
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:28.199
fans of this podcast, as it appears we'll have another seventy

43
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.800
five years of family squabbles to talk about. Sources cited

44
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.439
by Radar Online dot Com described relations between Kate and

45
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:39.120
Queen Camilla as incredibly strained, and claimed this has influenced

46
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.560
how George's public role is shaped. One source said there's

47
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.680
been a conscious effort to keep George close to his

48
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:48.680
parents in the Middleton side of the family. This has

49
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:52.479
meant limiting informal contact with Camilla. It's being interpreted in

50
00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.199
some circles snub, but those close to Kate see it

51
00:02:55.240 --> 00:03:00.159
as protective and intentional. Kate is fiercely focused on controling

52
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.879
her children's environment. Given the tension she feels toward Camilla,

53
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:07.360
she is far more comfortable reinforcing George's bond with William

54
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:11.120
and her own parents. George follows that lead and his

55
00:03:11.240 --> 00:03:15.120
age that alignment speaks volumes. Another source told the outlet

56
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.360
Carol Middleton has always been a grounding presence for George.

57
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:21.800
Keate trusts her implicitly, and that trust doesn't extend in

58
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:24.960
the same way to Camilla. George's comfort with his granny

59
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:29.319
reflects where Kate feels safest publicly. George has appeared confident

60
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:33.080
during recent engagements. He greeted crowds at Sandringham on Christmas

61
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.439
Day alongside his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. A

62
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.960
bystander was quoted as saying he displayed a quiet confidence

63
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.120
and maturity. It's crazy to think that he'll be a

64
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:47.560
teenager this year, one royal expert told Radar Online. Everyone

65
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.080
around the family is conscious that George is still very young,

66
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.159
and there's no rush to push him into the spotlight.

67
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:56.319
What is happening is a gradual, carefully considered introduction to

68
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.560
public life, where each appearance has a purpose and a

69
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:04.120
clear boundary. Nothing about it is random or performative. William

70
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.680
and Kater deliberately pacing his exposure, making sure he understands

71
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.639
what he's seeing and doing, rather than overwhelming him. Behind

72
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.000
the scenes, however, sources claimed Kate's determination to control her

73
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:18.959
son's path has intensified amid tensions with Camilla. One friend said,

74
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:22.279
Kate sees George is her responsibility first and a royal

75
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.680
asset second. If that means keeping distance from people she

76
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.800
doesn't trust, even the Queen, she won't hesitate. The royal

77
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.319
family is facing renewed pressure to stay clear of politics,

78
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:37.759
as tensions involving the United States threaten to complicate King

79
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:42.279
charles diplomatic plans. The UK government is undergrowing pressure to

80
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.639
cancel the King's planned state visit to the US later

81
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:48.839
this year, after President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on countries

82
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.639
opposing his proposal to take control of Greenland. Allies have

83
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.519
warned that the move risks serious damage to the NATO alliance.

84
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.319
The UK was singled out for a ten percent tariff

85
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:03.600
beginning in Februar, rising to twenty five percent from June

86
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.600
after it sent a naval officer to take part in

87
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:09.480
a NATO exercise in Greenland. The escalation is placed the

88
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:11.959
Palace in an awkward position, with the monarch expected to

89
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:16.879
remain politically neutral. Prime Minister Sukiya Stamer addressed the situation directly,

90
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.800
saying our position on Greenland is very clear. It is

91
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:22.800
part of the Kingdom of Denmark and its future is

92
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.240
a matter for the Greenlanders and the Danes. We have

93
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.879
also made clear that Arctic security matters for the whole

94
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.000
of NATO and allies should all do more together to

95
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.399
address the threat from Russia across different parts of the Arctic.

96
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:39.120
Applying tariffs on allies for pursuing the collective security of

97
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.279
NATO allies is completely wrong. We will of course be

98
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:47.639
pursuing this directly with the US administration. Critics say it

99
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.040
would be difficult to justify the king proceeding with a

100
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.319
state visit while the US president is openly threatening a

101
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:57.920
takeover of Greenland. That said, in The Independent, political editor

102
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.319
David Maddox cautions there is I say risk though Trump

103
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.079
is not a man who takes being slighted lying down.

104
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:06.959
If a royal state visit is canceled, he will take

105
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:11.319
it personally and things could get much worse. While Donald

106
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.079
Trump starred in The Apprentice, Karen Brady Starr of the

107
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.839
UK version of The Apprentice said well, I don't know

108
00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.839
if I'm allowed to say this, and if not, I'm

109
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:22.079
going to get shot, but I'm going to say it anyway.

110
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:24.720
Two huge fans of the show are His Majesty, the

111
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.879
King and the Queen. They often ask for previews of

112
00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:30.639
the show they like to watch it. I think it

113
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:33.040
would be great to host one of the tasks at

114
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.240
a royal palace. So maybe not a task about the royals,

115
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:39.199
but Buckingham Palace would be a great place to set

116
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:46.920
a task more palace in just a moment. Prince William

117
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.680
has reportedly been barred from riding his eastcooter within the

118
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:52.319
grounds of his new family home after moving to Forest

119
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:55.360
Lodge and wins A Great Park. The Prince of Wales

120
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.920
and the Princess of Wales have relocated to Forest Lodge,

121
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:01.399
a Grade to listed property set within the four thousand,

122
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:05.920
eight hundred acre Windsor Great Park. Under long standing park rules,

123
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.240
motorized transport is not permitted within most of the estate

124
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:13.920
for safety and traffic management reasons. The family previously lived

125
00:07:13.920 --> 00:07:17.040
at Adelaide Cottage on the separate Windsor Castle estate, around

126
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.240
four miles away. East scooters are allowed there, and William

127
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:22.959
was frequently seen using his ten mile per hour scooter

128
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.680
to travel around the six hundred and fifty five acre

129
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.000
grounds and to Windsor Castle itself. He was in filmed

130
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:32.399
riding it on television. Those days appear to be over

131
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.439
park regulation state. Aside from cyclists, the roads are reserved

132
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:40.040
for residents and estate workers. All other forms of motorized

133
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.240
transport are not permitted within Windsor Grade Park. Examples include

134
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:48.360
East scooters, harberboards one wheels. According to the Sun, a

135
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:50.759
sourcer said, william used to love his East scooter to

136
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.319
get around the castle as there was no ban. But

137
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.240
of course he's more than happy and prepared to adhere

138
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.199
to the rules on East scooters in Windsor Great Park.

139
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:05.680
Williams fondness for East scooters when Williams's fondness for East

140
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.000
scooters has been well documented. He was photographed by a

141
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.879
tourist riding one in Windsor two years ago, and was

142
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.920
also filmed meeting actor Eugene Levy on his scooter during

143
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:19.399
Levey's travel series The Reluctant Traveler. Speaking of the program,

144
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.160
Williams said, it gets around quite nicely around here. It's

145
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:24.839
quite fun. He added. We come and use the castle

146
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:27.040
for work and for meetings and the sea people. I'm

147
00:08:27.040 --> 00:08:28.560
always late, so I thought this was the way to

148
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:32.000
keep my meetings on time. He joked that he had

149
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:36.879
not entirely solved the problem, saying I'm still regularly late Eugene. Anyway,

150
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:38.840
I have managed to get myself a puncture this morning,

151
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:40.919
which is quite amusing. That's why I was going so

152
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:44.120
slowly up the road. While the band applies across much

153
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:47.000
of Windsor Grade Park, sources suggest residents may still be

154
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:50.879
able to use East scooters on roads immediately near their homes. However,

155
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.360
major routes such as the Long Walk the two and

156
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.720
a half mile avenue leading to Windsor Castle remained strictly

157
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.720
off limits to bikes, scooters, rollerblades and skateboards. Anyone caught

158
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:04.080
riding an ES scooter in prohibited areas could face a fine,

159
00:09:04.240 --> 00:09:07.720
penalty points in siege of the vehicle by police and

160
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.759
