Eugenie Cuts Off Andrew, Harry's Trial Tears, and Netflix Cancels Meghan - The week in Royal news with Mark Francis

Eugenie Cuts Off Andrew, Harry's Trial Tears, and Netflix Cancels Meghan - The week in Royal news with Mark Francis

Eugenie cuts off Andrew at "Brooklyn Beckham level"—Mail on Sunday reports "no contact at all, nothing." William pushing uncle toward Middle East exile: "Out of sight, out of mind." Andrew "eyeing UAE, talking about how he wants to get back to dating." Harry gave emotional testimony at High Court—voice cracked as he told judge: "They have made my wife's life an absolute misery, my lord." Court fell quiet as duke struggled to maintain composure. All royals conspicuously fled to Scotland to avoid him—Charles, Camilla, William, Kate, Anne all north of border during trial. Charles departed London without seeing son despite being two miles apart.

Netflix cancels Meghan's show after ranking 1,016 overall with only 2M views—60% drop from season one. Celebrity chef who cooked for King Charles: "Complete waste of money. Pathetic, dull and uninspiring." Brooklyn Beckham goes nuclear on Instagram against parents. Harry's advising him: "Don't burn everything at once." Meghan considering baby #3 as "perfect excuse to step back" from failed brand. She wants "billionaire status" through As Ever global expansion, plans to "dominate UK jam market." Harry worried about financial risks but "Meghan won't listen." Sarah Ferguson: "Nobody wants her now."

Calarogus Shark Media. Hi, and welcome to Palace Weekly. I

2
00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:14.039
am your host, Mark Francis. This is the short form

3
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:18.280
version of Palace Intrigue where you can hear what happened

4
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:20.320
in the week in royal news, and if you'd like

the fully expanded stories, please check out our daily show

6
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:28.480
Palace Intrigue. Here's what happened. Andrew mount Batten Windsor is

7
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.039
preparing to leave his thirty room home permanently, and royal

8
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:34.679
commentators say his nephew William is determined to push him

9
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.880
as far from the center of royal life as possible.

10
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:42.359
British royal expert Hillary Fordage told Fox News Prince William

11
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:46.159
in particular is the strongest proponent of distancing Andrew from

12
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.560
the royal family. He wants his wayward uncle as far

13
00:00:49.719 --> 00:00:52.880
away as possible. He doesn't want his reign overshadowed by

14
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.240
such scandals, let alone living in constant fear of another

15
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.960
damaging revelation with lurid headlines. The last thing William want,

16
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.039
while focusing on duty and modernizing the monarchy, is to

17
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.599
have the liability of Andrew around. Royal biographer Robert Jobson

18
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.159
told People Magazine that Andrew could ultimately face exile abroad.

19
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.239
He said. The King saw the King of Bahrain the

20
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.159
other day. One never knows. It could be a place

21
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.159
where Andrew gets the recognition of being the second son

22
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:24.560
of Queen Elizabeth, rather than this. Broadcaster Helene the Chard added,

23
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.599
the monarchy comes first. It's far easier for the royals

24
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:30.560
to distance themselves from Andrew and his scandals if he

25
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:34.400
relocates abroad, out of sight, out of mind. Andrew already

26
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.920
has an invitation to live a luxurious lifestyle in the

27
00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:42.879
UAE if life becomes too challenging. The UK Princess Eugenie

28
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:45.439
has reportedly cut off all contact with her father Andrew.

29
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.840
The Mail on Sunday reports that Andrew is devastated by

30
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.159
the breakdown in his relationship with his younger daughter, saying

31
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.680
Eugenie is refusing to speak to him and did not

32
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.879
visit him over Christmas Once. I was told The Mail

33
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:01.359
on Sunday that the rifts escalated in complete silence. There

34
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.200
is no contact at all. Nothing. It's Brooklyn Beckham level.

35
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:09.759
She has completely cut him off. By contrast, the Paper

36
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:13.159
reports that Princess Beatrice is attempting a more delicate balancing Act.

37
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.960
According to the report, Beatrice invited her father to the

38
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.039
christening of an eleventh month old daughter Athena last month,

39
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.879
but Andrew did not attend a pub gathering afterwards. One

40
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:25.719
source said Beatrice is trying to walk the fine line

41
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:28.039
of not cutting her father off yet remaining close with

42
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.080
the Royal family. They aren't exactly in regular and close

43
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:33.560
contact at the moment, but Eugenie isn't trying to walk

44
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:37.479
that line. She's not speaking to him. Andrew now intends

45
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.000
to leave Royal Lodge at least before his birthday. On

46
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:44.639
February nineteenth. A friend told the son he's finally decided

47
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:46.199
he needs to get home with his life, and so

48
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:48.719
is moving out sooner than thought and starting afresh. By

49
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:50.840
the end of the month, or at least before his birthday,

50
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.400
he and Sarah will go their own separate ways for

51
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.000
the first time in almost twenty years. A source tells

52
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.319
The National Inquirer Andrew is eyeing moving to the Middle Least.

53
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.000
He says he can have a fresh start there because

54
00:03:02.000 --> 00:03:06.639
it's more old school. Andrew's convinced people won't constantly judge him.

55
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:09.159
Andrew genuinely thinks he can still cash in on his

56
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.120
former royal status. He's got this idea that he'll be

57
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.759
welcomed into a community of expats over there and embraced

58
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:18.840
like it's the good old days. He's even talking about

59
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:23.120
how he wants to get back to dating. Prince Harry

60
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:25.800
arrived at the Royal Courts of Justice on Thursday morning

61
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.719
to give evidence in his legal battle against the publisher

62
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.039
of The Daily Mail. The Duke of Sussex was sworn

63
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.680
in shortly after arriving, though the court was briefly adjourned

64
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:39.759
due to technical issues. Before questioning began, Harry clarified how

65
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:43.120
he wished to be addressed. Asked about protocol, he replied bluntly,

66
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:46.520
same as last time, before confirming that meant Prince Harry.

67
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:49.719
Within minutes of taking the stand, Harry made his first

68
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.960
pointed reference to the royal family. Questioned by A and

69
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:55.759
L's barrister about why he did not complain at the

70
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.240
time articles were published, Harry said it was because of

71
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.800
the institution he was in, and referenced the royal motto

72
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.280
never complained, never explain. He added, I would not have

73
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:08.319
been able to complain about them anyway because of the

74
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:12.879
institution I was in, as questioning continued, Harry grew visibly

75
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.399
frustrated when it was suggested journalist Keaty Nickel may have

76
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.000
been part of his social circle. Harry responded charmply good

77
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.959
for her. He added, if the sources were so good

78
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:24.959
and she was hanging out with all my friends, then

79
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.439
why was she using private investigators. At one point, the

80
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.040
judge was forced to intervene, reminding Harry that he was

81
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:34.199
there to answer questions rather than argue his case. Harry

82
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:37.279
responded that he felt pressure to add context, saying A

83
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:39.759
and L had done a good job of stripping out

84
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:44.600
color from the points being made. Harry strongly denied claims

85
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.399
that his friends were a source of leagues, telling the

86
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.959
court he cut off relationships whenever he became suspicious. Discussing

87
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.279
articles from the mid two thousands, Harry said the level

88
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.120
of detail published made him feel part of an endless pursuit,

89
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.439
a campaign, an obsession of having every aspect of my

90
00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:02.240
life under surveillance. Said it left him paranoid beyond belief,

91
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.439
and accused newspapers of wanting to drive me to drugs

92
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.120
and drinking to sell more of their papers. Moments later,

93
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.199
during re examination of the atmosphere and court shifted noticeably

94
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.680
as Harry became visibly emotional while describing the impact of

95
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.000
the litigation itself. In a poignant moment, his voice cracked

96
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.560
as he told the court that his treatment said only

97
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:25.000
got worse since the litigation began, and added they continued

98
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.639
to come after me. They have made my wife's life

99
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.399
an absolute misery, my Lord. The court fell quiet as

100
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:36.360
the Duke paused, struggling to maintain composure before questioning continued.

101
00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:40.319
Prince Harry has named William and Kate in a written

102
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.160
witness statement submitted to the High Court. In the document,

103
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:45.639
the Duke of Sussex described his relationship with his brother

104
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.160
due to his position, the press have always been very

105
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:53.199
interested in him. As brothers, we naturally discussed personal aspects

106
00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.279
of our lives. As we trust each other with highly

107
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:59.680
sensitive information. We shared about our private, family and professional lives.

108
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.120
Princess Catherine was also referenced in the statement, though only briefly.

109
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:08.240
Her entry read, hrh the Princess of Wales my brother's wife.

110
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:13.120
All members of the royal family conspicuously avoided Harry during

111
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.199
the UK visit. King Charles was scheduled to be in Scotland,

112
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.040
traveling to the Palace of Holyrood House in Edinburgh. Queen

113
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:21.879
Camilla was also in Scotland alongside her husband, the Prince

114
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.079
and Princess Wales, but likewise north of the border, attending

115
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:29.279
engagements in Stirling and Falkirk. Princess Anne was also in Scotland. Meanwhile,

116
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:34.759
Sophie traveled to Portsmouth. King Charles spent Wednesday at Lancaster

117
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.399
House before departing London without seeing his youngest son, despite

118
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.959
the two being just over two miles apart. As Prince

119
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.680
Harry gave emotional evidence at the High Court. Meghan has

120
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:47.600
suffered a fresh setback after the second season of her

121
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:52.600
Netflix lifestyle series failed to attract a significant audience. Viewing

122
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:56.079
figures Show with Love Meghan drew roughly two million views

123
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.319
between July and December, placing it outside Netflix's top one

124
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:03.720
thousand most watched programs and representing a drop of more

125
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:07.600
than sixty percent from its initial run. According to reporting

126
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:11.040
by The Telegraph, the show ranked one thy and sixteen

127
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:15.560
over all. Despite extensive promotion and celebrity appearances, and inside

128
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:18.000
a told Page six it's not returning as a series.

129
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:20.720
There have been conversations about holiday specials, but there's nothing

130
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:24.160
in the works yet. Celebrity chef Jemison Stocks, who has

131
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:26.480
previously cooked for The King, launched a public attack on

132
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.959
the series. The numbers speak for themselves. It was a disaster,

133
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.560
not only for Megan's brand, but also for Netflix. It

134
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:34.759
proved to be a complete waste of money with absolutely

135
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:37.959
no return on investment. The outcome was hardly surprising, given

136
00:07:37.959 --> 00:07:40.000
that they filmed the first two seasons back to back,

137
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:43.639
and the first season was already a complete flop. More

138
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:51.199
Palace in just a moment. Brooklyn Beckham has taken an

139
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.959
extraordinary step in making his family riffed public, posting a

140
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.879
seven part Instagram statement accusing his parents, Victoria Beckham and

141
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:02.720
David Beckham, of controlled narratives, prioritizing their brand over family,

142
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.439
and mistreating his wife, Nicola Peltz. In the posts, Brooklyn

143
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.519
said he had stayed quiet for years before deciding to

144
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.360
speak out. He went further, stating, I didn't want to

145
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.360
reconcile with my family. I'm not being controlled. I'm standing

146
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.519
up for myself for the first time in my life.

147
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:20.560
For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in

148
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:25.319
the press about our Family television host Billy Bush drew

149
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:29.240
a direct comparison between Brooklyn's situation and Prince Harry's estrangement.

150
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:31.959
You know what spot, He's in the same spot as

151
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:35.759
Prince Harry. I mean it's almost identical, right, not talking

152
00:08:35.759 --> 00:08:37.720
to his father, not talking to his brother in this

153
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.679
case brothers for Brooklyn, total fallout. The only difference is mam.

154
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.720
Like with Harry, he always hold a small, little space,

155
00:08:44.720 --> 00:08:47.320
a little percentage that maybe they're reconciled down the road,

156
00:08:47.559 --> 00:08:50.480
but right now he's taking his wife's side. What do

157
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.480
they say, happy wife, happy life. I mean, what choice

158
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:57.679
does he have? According to Royal commentator Rob Shooter, Harry

159
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.639
has privately reached out to Brooklyn with both personal and

160
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:04.200
professional advice. One insider told Shooter Harry is he's a

161
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:06.320
lot of himself in Brooklyn. He doesn't want Brooklyn to

162
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.000
make the same emotional and strategic mistakes he made when

163
00:09:09.039 --> 00:09:12.399
he first broke away. Harry told him, don't burn everything

164
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.799
at once. You only get one chance to tell your

165
00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:19.320
story the right way. Prince Harry and Meghan are reportedly

166
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:22.639
considering welcoming a third child in twenty twenty six, According

167
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.159
to sources quoted by Radar Online. One source close to

168
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.799
the couple claimed the idea is being actively discussed. A

169
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:33.200
source told Radar that Meghan has been reassessing her public strategy.

170
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:36.360
The insider added that Megan maybe feeling fatigued by attempts

171
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:39.600
to establish herself as a major lifestyle and entertainment figure.

172
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.399
There was a strong sense that Meghan is tired of

173
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:45.360
trying to make her lifestyle brand and her push to

174
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.639
be an A list celebrity work. Being a mom for

175
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:50.840
the third time would give her the perfect excuse to

176
00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:56.080
step back. Meghan is pressing ahead with ambitious global expansion

177
00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.279
plans for as Ever, despite online speculation about unsolders stock

178
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:04.159
and insider told People magazine that the stockpile was preparation.

179
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.679
That large stock order was obviously part of the international

180
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.799
expansion plans the Duchess has spoken about for the brand.

181
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:14.519
One source said Meghan is absolutely convinced this is the

182
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.679
moment to go big. She believes there's serious money to

183
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.440
be made overseas, especially in Europe and Asia. It will

184
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.200
give her a lot of satisfaction to dominate the UK

185
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:25.840
jam market, which is something she really believes will be

186
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:28.600
possible once her brand is exposed to a wider audience

187
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:32.200
in Britain by the scenes. However, the scale of the

188
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:35.559
ambition is reportedly causing tension. Prince Harry is said to

189
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.919
be increasingly cautious about the financial risks involved. The problem

190
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.519
is the cost, the source said. Setting up proper distribution

191
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.679
abroad and marketing it the way she wants takes an

192
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:49.879
enormous amount of cash, and Harry is very wary. He

193
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:52.120
isn't trying to discourage her, but he's just worried that

194
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.440
she's moving too quickly and maybe taking too many risks

195
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:59.320
where they're finances. One insider said, Megan wants to get

196
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.759
to billionaires status. She genuinely believes she's sitting on a

197
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:05.480
gold mine, and Harry just needs to trust her and

198
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:08.519
let her run with this. She's always believed she's destined

199
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.840
for serious generational wealth, and as ever, is how she

200
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.320
plans to get there. Harry, however, is said to view

201
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.519
the strategy as a significant gamble. Another source added he

202
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.960
can't help but worry about what position they could end

203
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:24.519
up in if her gamble doesn't pay off. But Megan

204
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.120
won't listen. She's convinced this is her moment and she

205
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:29.840
has no intention of letting fear or doubt stand in

206
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:34.919
her way. Sarah Ferguson is said to be deeply distressed

207
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:37.399
as she and Andrew prepare to leave Royal Lodge. Sources

208
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:41.200
say Ferguson it's struggling emotionally with the upheaval, but is

209
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:44.200
not expected to follow Andrew to Sandring Hand. She may

210
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:47.919
spend time at property in Portugal owned by Eugenie I.

211
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:51.080
Saw Us tells The Express, Sarah Ferguson is seriously worried

212
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:53.879
about how on earth she's going to maintain her lifestyle.

213
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:56.879
Somebody else always picked up the tab even when she

214
00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:59.320
spent more than she had. She had been very well

215
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:02.399
taken care of over the years by various boyfriends, friends,

216
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.200
and acquaintances. It was quite normal for her to be

217
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:08.240
invited to an expensive hotel Spa, given the five star

218
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:11.080
VIP treatment for a few days in exchange for her

219
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:15.159
simply being there. But now nobody wants it. There are

220
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.480
reports that Harry and Megan are developing a new Netflix

221
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:20.480
film and adaptation of the romance novel The Wedding Date

222
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:24.720
by Jasmine Guillery. An insider told Heat magazine, there is

223
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.759
so much writing on this movie being a success. Megan

224
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:29.600
is saying this is a make or break time and

225
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:33.000
she wants all hands on deck. However, the report suggests

226
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:37.399
the project has exposed growing differences between the couple. The

227
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:40.159
inside has said Harry is experiencing a meltdown over attaching

228
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.080
his name to the project. It's not just that Harry

229
00:12:43.120 --> 00:12:46.080
wants to put his energy into his causes. His family

230
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:48.159
situation weighs on him on the heaviness of it makes

231
00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:51.120
him much less patient with other things, particularly things he

232
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.519
views a shallow. The last thing he wants to do

233
00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:55.840
right now is get into his suit to kiss up

234
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:59.799
to a bunch of Hollywood types. Harry's lack of enthusiasm

235
00:12:59.879 --> 00:13:02.279
is driving her crazy. From Meghan's point of view, it's

236
00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.320
got to be beyond aggravating that he's pushing back like this.

237
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:08.120
She's working a butt off trying to create income streams

238
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:11.240
for them, and he's turning his nose up more palace

239
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:16.799
in just a moment. Prince William has planned to support

240
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:21.440
Britain's struggling pubs, describing them as crucial spaces for human connection.

241
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.240
Ordering half a pint of cider at the Gothenburg Pub

242
00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.320
in Fallon, near Stirling. William told locals, I want to

243
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:30.399
help pubs. It's the best place to come and get

244
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:32.120
to know each other. I grew up in pubs. I

245
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:36.799
absolutely love pubs. William will travel to Saudia Arabia next month.

246
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:39.600
Kensington Palace has confirmed the visit comes as the UK

247
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.799
and Saudi Arabia approach one hundred years of diplomatic relations.

248
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:46.320
The Princess of Wales will not accompany him on the

249
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:51.159
short trip. This is the week Eugenie cut off Andrew

250
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:54.720
at Brooklyn Beckham level. The week Harry gave emotional testimony

251
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:57.679
saying that Damie Mail made my wife's life an absolute misery,

252
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.559
while all Royals fled to Scotland to a void him.

253
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:04.080
The week Netflix canceled Meghan's show after two million views

254
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:08.039
placed it outside the top one thousand. Brooklyn Beckham went

255
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:12.399
nuclear on Instagram and Harry's advising him, don't burn everything

256
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:14.360
at once. You're only get one chance to tell your

257
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:18.039
story the right way. Megan's considering baby number three is

258
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:21.120
perfect excuse to step back from the failed brand. She

259
00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:24.919
wants to dominate the UK jam market and reach billionaire status.

260
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:29.200
Harry's worried about the financial risks William pushing Andrew toward

261
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:33.159
Middle East exile. Sarah has nobody wants her now, and

262
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.320
somewhere between California and Britain, someone's planning global jam expansion,

263
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:40.840
while their husband dreams of escaping Hollywood phonies. The working

264
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:44.440
royals work, the exiled princess refuses to speak to her father,

265
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:49.639
and the trials continue in court, in marriage, in business,

266
00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:53.480
and in family. And there you have it. If you'd
