Harry and Meghan's Date Night, Vegemite Gift, and what they are catching grief for now!

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host Mark for answers. Harry and Meghan will spend Valentine's Day apart, despite the date holding a particular significance for the Duchess, who once wrote rather romantically about the occasion on her former lifestyle blog. However, they did find time to have a romantic dinner earlier in the week on a double date with singer Michael Boublay and his wife. The couple is said to have dined at Il cemenetto, a well known Italian restaurant in Whistler, according to Town and Country magazine. While no photographs of the evening have emerged, the publication reports that the two couples spent more than two hours at the restaurant. The duchess reportedly wore a Carolina Hereic cape and Aquasura Hills, complimented by diamond earrings from Maya Brenna, which was said to be a Valentine's Day gift from the Duke in twenty two twenty three. Megan has previously spoken about her fondness for Valentine's Day, writing on her now defunct lifestyle blog The Tig. In twenty fifteen, she shared hook, Lion and sinker.

1:11 I am such a sucker for Valentine's Day without fail, February fourteenth. I wake up feeling like I'm immersed in a Robert Dueneau photo, waiting with baited breath to be dipped into a kiss. This is all happening in black and white, of course, and in Paris if I had my way, but delusions of Francophile grand dur aside. Valentine's Day is special wherever you happen to find yourself. And in terms of gifts, be it a breakfast in bed, a sweet love note, or a single flower. Because we can't always get our hands on tailor to Marsi hillbouquets, it really is the thought that counts. During the five days together at the Games, the couple's demonstrative behavior drew considerable attention, with the Duchess displaying what body language expert Judy James described as limpet behaviours, clinging to Harry's arm while holding his hand and resting her head on his shoe in what appeared to be carefully choreographed moments of intimacy, While some fans praise the couple's affection is romantic given the proximity to Valentine's Day. Others questioned that the timing of Megan's departure. Among those critical of the PDA was journalist Amanda Platel, who shared her thoughts in The Daily Mail.

2:18 Before Meghan left the event, we had a fawning Meghan making Doe eyes while looking up at him, clutching his arm and grabbing his face for a very public kiss. No photo op went unmissed. Meg's was determined that she and their love affair would take center stage. Whatever we thought about the heroic men and women in this event was actually celebrating. In all my many years as a journalist and former political spin doctor, I cannot recall a more miscalculated and nauseating public display of affection. PR expert Edward corn James suggested Megan to to leave. The Invictus came to Harry. It's his project and he's more than capable of drumming up support and publicity for this incredible cause.

2:59 Their joint brand has become tainted over the years, not through any fault of their own, but due to woeful PR. Harry had a warm and lighthearted exchange with an Australian athlete after being presented with a personalized jar of vegemite. Harry was addressing the crowd in Whistler when he noticed Belinda Cully, a member of Team Australia, waiving the gift from behind a security barrier. Squadron leader Cully, who was competing in indoor rowing, Nordic skiing, sitting, volleyball and swimming, handed Harry a jar of the Australian spread bearing a Prince Harry label. Speaking about the meeting, Cully said, I had the honor and privilege of meeting Prince Harry today. My teammate Cindy came up with the idea of creating a vegemite jar with Prince Harry's name on it, and I was fortunate enough to give it to him on behalf of the Australian team as a token of our appreciation.

3:48 She described the Duke as gracious and down to earth and noted that he inquired about her events. He came over and thanked me for my service. I asked whether they liked vegemite or ever tried it, and Megan said she really enjoyed it. I joked that the jar would be enough to last their family for ten years. P Let's intrigue it right back it being a day that ends in Why Harry and Meghan are being criticized for a selfie with Canadian singer songwriter Nellie Furtado, who posted a brief video alongside Megan with Prince Harry visible in the background. The clip was set to Foretado's well known song I Am Like a Bird. Fittado captured the moment with the words They're beautiful, that's for sure at Megan at we are in Invector's games. The post, however, has generated considerable debate among social media users. Several expressed their disappointment, with one viewer describing it as beyond cringe. Another commented this is the same woman who wanted to live a normal life. Additional responses included please stay away from them.

4:51 Megan was also criticized for her wardrobe after being seen wearing a series of designer outfits from brands such as Givon, She Valentino, and alc. One of her most notable looks featured a twenty four hundred pound Ivory Maxi trench coat by Canadian designer Bohana Sentala. Paired with a chocolate brown dress retailing at nine hundred and twenty five pounds and Aquazura heels priced at six hundred and ninety five pounds. This brought the total cost of the outfit to over four thousand. One social media user commented, she doesn't even try to be humble. Harry needs to grow some balls. Observers also noted that the Duchess wore a seven hundred and forty eight pound blazer from Doan while attending a wheelchair basketball match, a choice that was received more favorably.

5:35 One Instagram user wrote, she looks beautiful. Look at her glow. Another added her style and so elegant. I love all her outfits. The comparisons between Megan and the Princess of Wales have also surfaced, with some pointing out that Kate has recently worn similar hues at a significantly lower cost, including a blazer from Zara priced at eighty nine pounds. Media coverage of Kate this week also pointed out the Princess was seen wearing a favorite coat for the fourth time. Earlier in the week, Harry shared a poignant moment at a wheelchair curling event where he encountered a remarkable black Labrador Retriever named Thorn, who serves as a mental health support dog for first responders in the Yukon. During the encounter, Harry, who recently lost his own beloved Beagle Guy, confided in the dog's handler, Ali Harper about his grief. Harper told people Harry came right over and sat down right next to Thorn and kneeled down and started petting him and said how much he misses his dog. Harry revealed that young Archie, who stayed home in California, had been asking about land mines. Harry explained, I was talking about how some of these guys in Victors Games participants were blown up.

6:44 Iedser probably a bit too much at this point, but I found myself talking to him about mines when he was five years old. Naturally, the Internet reacted with a mix of amusement and skepticism. One person on x wrote, show me a five year old that would instigate a conversation about land minds. Another added, crocodile is a first word getting a waffle maker. Now he's taking up landmine issues. The skin is advanced, yo, and they have got to email us address as the palace Intrigue at gmail dot com.
