Harry and Meghan’s Marriage Under Pressure? Meghan “Explodes” Over Photo Blunder

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. Meghan Markle reportedly confronted her American team after an as-ever photograph prompted online criticism about an apparently unlit stove. An unnamed source quoted by Rob Shooter's Naughty But Nice newsletter claims she exploded. It was, how did nobody catch this? Megan expects her team to protect her from exactly this kind of ridicule. The same account claims she is seeking a UK-based executive assistant, but has encountered reluctance from potential recruits. Megan can offer a glamorous title, but the best people aren't biting. Her reputation gets there before the job offer does. People see the turnover and think, why would it be different for me?

0:53 The insider also alleged that prospective employees are watching how responsibility is assigned when things go wrong and do not want to become the next person blamed, or the next departure that makes headlines. Harry and Meghan's return to Britain is reportedly putting their marriage under pressure, with an unnamed source to Radar Online claiming their new routines leave little time for each other. The source claims both are working extremely hard, but they're increasingly doing so in separate worlds. He knows Meghan gave up a lifestyle in California that she had worked extremely hard to establish, and he doesn't underestimate what she sacrificed by agreeing to leave. Every potential business arrangement, public appearance and professional introduction seems to carry enormous significance because he feels he cannot afford to let anything slip through his fingers. He's having to confront the possibility that coming home doesn't necessarily mean being welcomed back into the fold. Megan has absolutely no intention of becoming somebody who simply waits at home while her husband pursues his ambitions. She has her own professional identity, commercial responsibilities and expectations about what their future should look like. The really worrying aspect is how little opportunity they appear to have to reconnect as husband and wife. Their conversations are increasingly dominated by practical matters, schedules, business decisions, school arrangements, travel commitments, and the continuing difficulties surrounding Harry's family. Harry may believe he's doing everything possible to secure their future, while Meghan may feel she's carrying much of the responsibility for keeping their family grounded. The irony now is that

2:23 a move intended to strengthen their family's future may be leaving them with less time for each other than they had before. Harry and Meghan's recent pub outing has done little to quiet speculation about their marriage, according to an unnamed source quoted by the National Examiner, who claims this very public outing together was clearly aimed at silencing the critics by pushing the happy couple narrative, but it hasn't really done much. Everyone is still whispering about the cracks in their marriage. Even though the last thing she wants to be doing is going out to be gawked at with him, she's forced herself out for this photo op. Harry is reportedly encouraging Meghan to tone down her celebrity lifestyle as she settles back into Britain. An unnamed source quoted by the Express claims he has been reining her in on her celebrity tendencies following her pub outing with Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi. Harry has been reining her in on her celebrity tendencies, but she is making a real effort to integrate herself into life back into the UK, the insider claimed. Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield offered her own interpretation of the reunion. This suggests she may be trying to recreate elements of Montecito in the Cotswolds, privacy where she wants it, but with a glamorous and recognisable social circle around her. Meghan is reportedly missing California with an unnamed source claiming she would return immediately if circumstances allowed. The News International reports that Meghan is finding the move to Britain harder than expected while helping Archie and Lilibet settle in. Their source claims, She's very homesick.

3:52 She misses her mum, her friends, the beach. If she could go back tomorrow, she would, but that's not in the cards. She's focused on settling the kids in, and she does want to support Harry while he sorts everything out with his family. There's just an overwhelming amount on her plate right now. She's really feeling the pressure. They both say they've accepted this is how it needs to be for now. But that doesn't mean it's easy living such separate lives. It's bound to take a toll. As hard as it is to be taking all this on, he wants to prove to Meghan and his family that he can do this. Reports that Harry and Meghan are preparing to apologise to William and Catherine have been dismissed as total rubbish by royal journalist Tom Sykes. Speaking to Page Six, Sykes said, Harry has always said he will never apologise for anything. Commentator Kinsey Schofield also challenged the story, saying, Prince Harry and Meghan remain defiant. My own sources have told me this story is absolutely not true. If anything, the pattern has remained consistent. I would treat claims that they now regret Oprah and are preparing to eat crow with serious skepticism. Harry and Meghan are reportedly considering a Christmas card that would give the public a clearer look at Archie and Lilibet. An unnamed source quoted by Rob Shooter's Naughty But Nice newsletter claims they're getting closer and closer to the big reveal. First you saw glimpses of the children, then more of their lives, and now you're hearing Lilibet speak. It feels very deliberate. The Christmas card will be the natural next step. A photograph of Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lilibet together would be a huge moment, and they know it. More palace in just a moment. Hey,

5:24 just a quick aside. Many of you over the years have told me that someone in your family has started a podcast. Got a grandson, a niece, a friend from the book club. If that's you, I have something they might like. My team and I have built a podcast studio called Linnet. It lets you write, record, edit, and publish a show all in one place right inside your web browser. It's what we use to make this program every day. And it's free while we're testing it through November. So if there's a podcaster in your life or a creator, someone who likes to use social media, pass it along, linnetmedia.com. That's L-I-N-N-E-T media.com. We appreciate your support. And it's from the two of us here at Calaroga King Charles is reportedly disappointed that he has yet to see Archie and Lilibet since the Sussexes returned to Britain. An unnamed source told Star that the King had hoped their move would mean more time with his grandchildren. Charles absolutely loves being a grandfather. He may not have always been the best father, but he's really taken to his role as a granddad, so he's pretty gutted that he hasn't even seen Archie and Lily once since they landed in the UK. Here he was, expecting that they'd be getting straight into making up for lost time, and it's been quite the opposite.

6:34 Harry keeps promising him that the visit will happen very soon, but so far there's been no date set and Charles is feeling very let down. Meghan will have to join them, so it needs to align with her schedule. It has to work with the kids' school schedules, with Harry's schedule, and of course with Charles and Camilla's too. The insider also claims the controversy surrounding Earl Spencer's Diana memoir has added pressure to the King's schedule. Any free time has been filled up with crisis meetings, they said. But the king is determined to fix this. He wants to see Archie and Lily as soon as possible. Earl Spencer's Diana memoir is reportedly creating tension between Charles and Camilla with an unnamed source claiming both feel under attack as their past returns to the headlines. Closer alleges that Charles is preoccupied with the book while Camilla feels her own distress at being overlooked. An insider claims, All the king can talk about right now is this book and everything it's dredged up. He's enraged and can't believe that there was nothing that could be done to stop this. Camilla is trying to be sympathetic, but she doesn't have a whole lot of patience because she's going through her own turmoil with all of this. She feels attacked too. The whole atmosphere is very toxic. She's worked so hard to distance herself from this narrative, she's horrified that it's back in the headlines. She's complaining that he's so wrapped up in his own misery that he's forgetting that she's getting dragged through the mud as well. In her view, as her husband, he should be looking after her right now. Normally, Camilla is the person who can snap him out of a bad mood and get him to calm down, but she hasn't gotten the patience for it right now. And there
