0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. In The Express, Rebecca Russell writes, as if we needed any more proof, Prince Harry's lack of awareness has grown from a minor character flour into a full blown walking disaster, despite being left eye watering sums of money that most of us can only dream of. The latest whispers from Montecito Echo Chamber claim that Harry and Meghan are now having to come back on their spending, with that number of full time employees reportedly dropping from sixteen to just five, an astonishing feat rarely given the multi billion pound inheritance he was left by his mother and the huge tax free windfall that the Queen Mother left him when he turned twenty one, not forgetting the healthy seven million pound topper from the Queen Mother when he reached the Big four h less than two years ago.
1:00 And of course there's their multimillion dollar deals with everyone from Netflix to publishing houses that have given Harry the platform to exploit his family in every strain of genetic pain he has ever felt. Former People magazine editor Dan Wakeford spoke to five sources and wrote in his Celebrity Intelligence newsletter that Harry lacks basic awareness of what things cost, while Megan has a sense of how careful they need to be. Unfortunately, the issue is that Harry's only marketable skill complaining about every slight he has ever felt from his family hasn't just expired. The stench is lingering and clinging to everything around it, no matter how worthy the cause.
1:41 By now, the public isn't just exhausted at Harry's moaning. We're exasperated. There's really only so many times you can bite the hand that feeds you. We are watching a forty one year old man profit from his family's private pain while making miscanated claims that he thinks he is still a working royal in one breath and making another jab than the next. In a masterclass in contradiction, Harry routinely moralizes to the world about equality, online safety, and the environment from the comfort of the massive estate he didn't bill, while being sustained by a legacy he continues to disparage, even though they are the reason he keeps answering the phone to enormous check after an enormous check.
2:22 Daniela also writes in thenews dot com dot au. There was one thing that no one told Cinderella, Princess a crap at money. Then Prince Charles had to borrow from the Bank of Mum to pay for his divorce from Diana, Princess of Wales. Prince Philip once blurted out, we go into the red next year, I shall have to give up Polo, and the former Prince Andrew was sued for forgetting to pay twelve million dollars he owed after deciding to buy a Swiss chalet. We've all been there right. Unfortunately, Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex is reportedly proving similarly princely when it comes to money, and it has been reported he has eaten through has estimated twenty million dollar inheritance since moving to the US. Yes, even with Netflix and Company having back in the good old days, formed an orderly queue outside his and his wife Megan's front door to chuck fistfuls of cash at them. That's reportedly one of the reasons why the couple stuck in career doldrooms and vibe wise, the NFTs of hrh Dom are now wildly unhappy and in a strange way, I nearly feel sorry for Harry. Fundamentally, he was born in captivity with a spoon in his mouth so solid silver it would have taken two footmen to lift it. For the first thirty five years of his life, he never ever had to think about paying a gas bill or when his bins went out. His every pair of socks, tea bags, scotch egg and rounded boogies were paid by either his power is Granny. Money like voting, must have been a largely alien concept for the Duke, something that people waving on the other side of ropelines had to trouble themselves
3:53 with per Wait for the issue lies in their expenses reporting. The Duke and Duchess have multiple mortgages on their at nineteen point four million dollar Montecito mansion, while a source that says they have to find four point one million a year just for their security. The inheritance has largely been spent on the house and the legal trials, one source told Wakeford. A source in their orbit told him as well. They are wildly unhappy. According to the Peace, the Duke does not want the life he has right now and would be content to downsize move somewhere like Montana. And live modestly. That's an assessment shared by the Royalist and the Daily Beasts Tom Sykes, who said during a recent YouTube appearance, I have been told that he is not remotely enamored with the prospect of spending the rest of his life in California, and that he certainly does not want things to continue as they are. But what about Megan? Would the duchess be open to trading their tor p cashmir Cali life for spending the next few decades bumping along bad lands dirt roads to get to Costco and never once seeing a bar of five g Former Royal Press Secretary Dickie Arbot had told Talk TVs Jeremy Carl Joe the Sussex marriage has always looked a bit dodgy for quite a long time, adding that Harry appears to have lost much of his identity and purpose he once had within the Royal family and the military.
5:09 Arbata argued that Harry has not really achieved anything beyond the Invictors Games, which he noted only takes place every two years. He also suggested that leaving the British Army in twenty sixteen was the biggest mistake he ever made. Claiming Harry could have continued building a meaningful public role had he remained in military service. Royal expert Duncan Larcom says the biggest obstacle to any reconciliation between Prince Harry and King Charles is now trust. Speaking about the ongoing rift within the Royal family, Larcom said, Charles is an impossible position right now. He and Prince William can't reach out to Harry for fear of them publicizing it. That's the big blockage. If they were to resume contact, they run the risk that Harry and Meghan could disclose more personal details and drop more bombshells about what's happening. This is where the fear lies for the Royal family. If Charles ring Harry and said I'm coming to the US, I'd love to see you, the dangerous Harry would go public with it. That breakdown in trust is the most significant thing. More pounds in just a moment. Meghan is reportedly furious over a recent joke on SNL. According to entertainment columnist Rob Shooter, Meghan was upset after a Weekend Update host Colin Jos referred to her as an American terrorist during the joke about King Charles visiting the United States.
6:27 During the segment, Jos joked that the King had traveled to America to seek the release of a British hostage being held by an American terrorist. As a photo with Megan Prince Harry appeared on screen, a source quoted by a shooter claimed Meghan does not laugh when she feels publicly humiliated. She sees this deliberate, cheap and personal, and once she feels mocked, she shuts the door. Another source alleged this is what Meghan does when she feels attacked. She doesn't confront, she cuts off access. She distanced herself from Vanity Fair after coverage turned, and now NBC is getting the same treatment. A source told Palace intrigue does that means she won't do the deal or no dual reboot. Tutor appeared on The Nerve with Maureen Callahan instead of Harry and Meghan. They don't really have any common interests apart from the Sussex brand, he claimed. Much of the couple's shared focus is now tied to their public image and business ventures, with sources suggesting they maintained separate friendships and spend time in different social circles. The commenter also claimed their personalities and interests were never a line from the beginning, though he said they previously made efforts to find shared activities and projects. In this take on their marriage, Prince Harry has become increasingly focused on parenting and family life.
7:40 Tutor referred to him as mister Mark, alleging that Harry spends much of his time with the couple's children. Megan joked about renewing her vows with Prince Harry during his surprise appearance in a video with Australian content creators Sean Skills and Maley Waterowl. The duchess appeared alongside the pair who run the popular Get Down with on Marley YouTube and TikTok channels in footage film during Harry and Meghan's visit to Australia last month. During the video, showing at Marley handed Megan a collection of Australian theme guests to take back to California, including rugby shirts, bluey toys for Prince Archie and Princess Lilla, bit snacks, bears, and a pair of swimming trunks branded Ossie bum As the trunks were pulled from the gift bag. Meghan laughed and said, Oh, I see what's coming. I see that that's going to be for my husband. I just have a feeling. She then joked, for the love of my life, we might renew our valves with him wearing these. The appearance came after Sean and Maley went viral for recreating Meghan's one pant spaghetti recipe from her Netflix series With Love.
