According to a source, the ongoing issues within the family, ranging from Prince Harry and Prince William's strained relationship to Prince Andrew's refusal to vacate the Royal Lodge, have taken a toll on the monarch, who has sought "spiritual counsel" to cope with the mounting pressures.

Hi and welcome through Pallace Intrigue. I'm your host, Mark Francis.

3
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.440
King Charles has reportedly managed to upset everyone in the

4
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:25.359
royal family, including even Queen Camilla, as he navigates a

5
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.960
year filled with various crises. According to a source, the

6
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.039
ongoing issues within the family, ranging from Prince Harry and

7
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:36.240
Prince William's strained relationship to Prince Andrew's refusal to vacate

8
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.200
the Royal Lodge, have taken a toll on the monarch,

9
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:43.159
who has sought spiritual counsel to cope with the mounting pressures.

10
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.479
The King, despite his own health challenges, including a cancer diagnosis,

11
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.840
has continued with public duties throughout the year. However, the

12
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:53.240
weight of the family's problems is said to be deeply

13
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:57.600
concerning to him. The source told Woman's Day magazine, Charles

14
00:00:57.719 --> 00:00:59.640
does look at the current state of his family with

15
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:05.120
deep concern. Everyone, it seems, has issues, whether it be health, financial, legal.

16
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.079
The situation with Prince Andrew and the Royal Lodge has

17
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.920
reportedly caused division within the family, with senior royals like

18
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.640
Princess Anne, Sophie and Prince Edward feeling disappointed in how

19
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:18.560
Charles has handled it. The source further claims that the

20
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.480
King has even managed to upset Camilla, as she often

21
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.200
bears the brunt of his irritability over these various issues.

22
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:30.560
The Royal Lodge, a thirty pound nineteenth century mansion in Windsor,

23
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.560
has been a point of contention between Charles and his

24
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.280
brother Prince Andrew. Last month, reports surfaced that Andrew might

25
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:39.959
have to vacate the property after the King laid off

26
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.760
his security team. Charles has been funding private security at

27
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.040
the lodge since Andrew's official armed protection was removed in

28
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:51.159
twenty twenty two. Despite numerous requests from the King, Andrew

29
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.519
has resisted leaving the home he shares with his ex

30
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.480
wife Sarah Ferguson, citing his seventy five year lease as

31
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.200
a reason to remain. The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton

32
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.879
is reportedly super excited to return to her royal duties

33
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.280
once she is well enough. According to an insider, the

34
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:11.360
forty two year old royal had to step back from

35
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.280
her public engagements earlier this year due to being diagnosed

36
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:17.560
with an undisclosed type of cancer. The source shared with

37
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:20.039
Life and Style that Kate is eager to reconnect with

38
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.280
the public and resume her work within the royal family.

39
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.719
The insider stated she can't wait to reconnect with the

40
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.719
public and get back in the swing of things as

41
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.800
far as taking on more engagements and intending meetings and

42
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:35.319
helping out with royal business. Kate is also reportedly looking

43
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:37.960
forward to moving away from the focus on her health.

44
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:40.719
She's so looking forward to getting away from the things

45
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:45.000
revolving so much around medical procedures and doctors' visits. The

46
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.560
insider added her anticipated return to work will be a

47
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.439
significant moment for the princess as she continues to be

48
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.520
one of the most visible and active members of the

49
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.080
British royal family. We heard from Kate via social media

50
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.400
in her role as joined president of the Scout Association.

51
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.400
Kate posted delighted to welcome Dwayne Fields as the new

52
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:09.919
UK Chief Scout. The Scouts is such an incredible organization,

53
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:14.319
teaching hashtag skills for life and making a huge difference

54
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:17.879
to young people across the country. Looking forward to working

55
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.159
with you, she signed at c not willing to admit

56
00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:23.360
We're all just going to call her Kate Middleton For

57
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.439
the rest of her life. Kate has reportedly implemented her

58
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.560
self imposed ban on anything Megan and Harry related. Jenny Bonder,

59
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.400
former BBC Royal correspondent, told Okay magazine that while the

60
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.000
start of a new school year is often stressful and

61
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:41.800
emotional for any mother, it also offers some advantages. She

62
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.840
noted it will give Catherine the chance to rest quietly

63
00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.520
when she needs it without feeling guilty that she's not

64
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.280
with the children. According to royal commentator Rebecca English, the

65
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:56.080
Royal family has effectively called Prince Harry's bluff by choosing

66
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.479
to remain silent in the face of his demands and accusations.

67
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.560
Remarked they haven't reacted to any of his demands or

68
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:07.120
his threats, either publicly or privately. I mean they pretty

69
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:10.120
much have ignored the fact that Spare has been published.

70
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:13.599
She emphasized that the Royal family's decision to stay silent

71
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.279
seems to be the right approach to dealing with Harry's claims,

72
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.720
suggesting that it's like, don't listen, don't make a fuss,

73
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.240
don't give into it, just let it through and it'll

74
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:27.480
blow away in harmony will restore itself. Prince William returned

75
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:30.720
from his summer holidays sporting a beard and headed straight

76
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:35.279
to the Sachi Gallery to check out the Homelessness Reframed exhibition.

77
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:39.360
What started as a modest expectation of five thousand visitors

78
00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:43.439
has now welcomed around twenty five thousand attendees since its

79
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:47.079
opening in July, a testament to the poignant stories shared

80
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.519
by the artists. This art exhibition, a collaboration between the

81
00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.839
Royal Foundation, the Sanchi Gallery and the eleven eleven Foundation,

82
00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:00.319
showcases personal stories of homelessness told through various mediums of art.

83
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:03.920
Megan Michael is reportedly considering a backup name for her

84
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:08.879
lifestyle brand, American Riviera orchard Ro, following a setback from

85
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.720
the US Patent and Trademark Office. The trademark was projected

86
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:16.720
in an August thirty first filing with the USPTO stating

87
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.800
that the term American Riviera is primarily geographically descriptive, making

88
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:25.360
it difficult to secure. A source close to the situation,

89
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.319
explained the team of thinking of backups as we speak,

90
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.480
just in case they've been put into a bit of

91
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.360
a last minute spin. But they're not too worried because

92
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.040
they are aware that Kim Ka also changed her brand

93
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:40.079
name after launch, and it still did amazingly well. Referring

94
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.079
to Kim Kardashian's brand Skims, which was originally launched as

95
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:48.879
Kimono that faced criticism for cultural appropriation, the source added

96
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.319
it will be a rather costly measure if they have

97
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.160
to change the name at this late stage due to

98
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:56.319
all the branding, but it won't be the end of

99
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:59.519
the world. The Dunchess of Sussex first revealed her lifestyle

100
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:03.319
brands on social media in March, following a February filing

101
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.800
for the Aro trademark. The company aims to offer products

102
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:09.879
such as home goods, cookbooks, tableware, food and beverage items

103
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:14.480
like jams, vegetable based spreads, and potentially a rose wine.

104
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.759
Insiders tell Palace Intrigue that should Meghan have to change

105
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.120
the name of her brand, American podcasters are quite ready

106
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.079
to make fun of it. Pallace Intrigue will be right back.

107
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:34.360
Writing for I News, Stuart Heritage says Prince William's newfound

108
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:38.439
hotness proves it stubble Maketh the bald Man. It's hard,

109
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:40.279
for the most part for civilians like us to relate

110
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.639
to the royal family. Unlike Lamau, every move isn't scrutinized

111
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.079
by the press. Unlike them, we don't know the entire

112
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.079
path that our lives will take from the moment we

113
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:50.480
are born. Unlike them, we actually have to work for

114
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:52.959
a living. But sometimes a member of the royal family

115
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:55.800
would do something that's nothing less than completely universal in

116
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:59.000
its relatability. And this is one of those moments. You

117
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:02.040
see Prince William grow in a beard, well, he's sort

118
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:03.920
of grown a beard. At a visit to that Sati

119
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.480
gallery on Thursday, William strolled around with what could only

120
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.920
be described as a beard by the most generous of onlookers.

121
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.480
Yet it was facial hair, but it was facial hair

122
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:14.920
without commitment. It was the sort of facial hair you

123
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.399
tend to see on people who haven't slept for a week,

124
00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.120
or who have just awoken from a brief comba, or

125
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:21.839
who got lost in the woods with a group of

126
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.319
friends and succumbed to cannibalism. Slightly quicker than you'd expect.

127
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.800
It's a scruff, it's stubble. But the important thing is

128
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.720
that Prince William has kept it around for a while,

129
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:34.639
which means that it has potential as to why Prince

130
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.240
Williams grew in a beard that should be obvious he's bold.

131
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.839
At some point in summer, I can absolutely guarantee that

132
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.879
William looked at himself in a gilded bathroom mirror and

133
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:45.800
discovered with some shock that his entire head was the

134
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.839
same color, his scalp was the same color as his chin,

135
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.120
and there was nothing in between to break it up.

136
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.160
In other words, he looked like a toe. He looked

137
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.560
like a stray blob of medical looking plaster scene. Clearly,

138
00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.360
he came to the conclusion that something needed to be done.

139
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.879
Grow your beard out. William join the brotherhood. Me and

140
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:06.240
all the other tired looking middle aged men who want

141
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:09.800

142

Good terms,

Everybody's mad at King Charles?
