Harry’s Australia Comeback Dream Hits Reality Check as Meghan Brand Numbers Slip

0:00 Ah calorogus, shark media that low and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis TV. Comnentator Scott Rowse offered his personal opinion about Meghan's absence from photographs during the family's private meeting with King Charles. Ralse claimed she's a what I call a high end clinical narcissist. I don't just call her that. People say that about people, but she can't stand to have something like that happen and her not be a part of it. That personality type must be where most of the attention is, and he can't get more than she gets. The other notice, it's pretty much even, it's pretty much equal. Referring to the family's private meeting with the King, Ralse suggested Meghan's absence from publicly released images was part of an agreement surrounding the visit. But what backfired on her is we didn't get to see her. She wasn't in any pictures, she wasn't in any videos, and I'm sure from what I understand, that's part of the deal they made. You can show up over here, no pictures, nothing like that at all. If you say anything, you know this will happen, or that will happen. That's what I think, but I don't think she can stand it. That personality type must have attention, and it must be the center of attention.

1:15 If there's nothing stopping them, there's no telling what they'll do. Prince Harry is reportedly exploring whether Australia could provide a path back toward royal life, although the idea appears to face major constitutional obstacles. According to a report citing comments from Royal reporter Rob Shooter, Harry has privately floated the possibility of taking on an overseas role in service to King Charles rather than returning permanently to Britain. An unnamed source claimed Meghan has no interest in moving back to Britain. Harry believes an overseas role, particularly in Australia, would allow them to serve the King while keeping the life he has built with Meghan and the children. The report says Harry has supposedly looked to history for inspiration, pointing to the Duke of Windsor the former King Edward the Eighth, who became Governor of the Bahamas after his abdication. However, another palace source reportedly dismissed the idea, saying that while King Charles would like to continue rebuilding his personal relationship with Harry, creating a new overseas role is highly unlikely.

2:15 The source also pointed out a practical problem. Austral as Governor General is appointed by the King only on the advice of the Australian Prime Minister. Buckingham Palace does not choose the office holder, meaning the position is not something the King could simply offer to his son. According to the report, Harry believes there could be a creative compromise, but the Palace source responded the institution believes the rules already exist. They're not going to reinvent the monarchy for one family member. A source told Radar Online Harry came away from that visit with a renewed sense of what he misses seeing his father as a grandfather, watching his children explore a place that is part of their heritage. It has made him more determined to find a way back, at least part time. He believes there must be a workable arrangement where he can be present in the UK with proper security while continuing the life he has built in the United States. In his mind, it does not have to be all or nothing. A second source claimed Megan does not share Harry's enthusiasm for revisiting royal life.

3:14 The source said Meghan is far less convinced. From her perspective, they stepped away for very clear reasons. In any return, even a partial one, risks dragging them back into the same pressures and scrutiny they tried to escape. One unnamed source tells The Express, I don't think Harry's ever wanted to be estranged from his family. I think when he was madly in love with Meghan, he could be blind enough to choose her. Now things are different and the veil as lifting. An earlier report in The Standard quoted one of Harry's friends discussing the Duke's feelings about Britain. The friend used a nickname for Harry. The friend said, Spike is seriously homesick. It started reaching out to us more and more, started with a very long and earnest what's app We actually all made a decision when we started getting them not to take the piss out of them, something we couldn't have a matter and doing a few years before. Anyway, Gradually he seems to be sounding more normal.

4:04 Whenever anyone goes to America, they try to see him. It never seems to be with Megan, though we think he is beginning to pine for home. Royal commentator Tom Slater has criticized Megan over her appearance on Mastership Australia, accusing the duchess of sending mixed messages about her royal status. Speaking the Sky News Australia, Slater argued, they've been trying to trade on these titles for a very long time. They saw it as almost a kind of cheat code in the top player of the international celebrities set. Reacting too reports that Megan was reportedly uncomfortable with being described as royalty, Slater said, it's just so utterly hypocritical that we've come to expect that from these two. On the one hand, she likes to think of herself as terribly down to earth, unrelatable, but at the same time she rankles when anyone points out the perch that she has taken for herself. The criticism follows previews of Megan's appearance on mastershef Australia, which was filmed during the Sussex's visit to Australia earlier this year. In the preview, the judges introduced her by saying, we've master Chef Royalty in the kitchen before all the way from Sunny California. Please welcome to Master Chef Australia, the Touches of Sussex. Megan. Either Megan nor Prince Harry has publicly responded to Slater's comments or to the reports surrounding the television appearance more Palasing just a moment. Meghan's lifestyle brand as Ever has reportedly seen the steady decline in website traffic during the first half of twenty twenty six. According to new data cited by a Newsweek using figures from digital analytics platform similar Web, The publication reports that visits to the as Ever website

5:35 fell from approximately two hundred and sixty eight thousand in January to about one hundred forty five thousand in June, a decline of roughly forty six percent over six months. The brand sells products including jam honey, flower sprinkles, candles, and wine, and launched alongside Megan's a Netflix series with Love Meghan in twenty twenty five. According to the data, January was the strongest month of the year, with about two hundred and sixty eight thousand visits. Traffic felt just over two hundred thirteen thousand in February, before ticking up slightly in March to around two hundred twenty six thousand. The biggest monthly decline came in April, when traffic dropped to approximately one hundred seventy eight thousand. Visits continued to ease in May before reaching their lowest point of the year in June at roughly one hundred forty four thousand.

6:19 Newsbeak reports at about forty five percent of June's visitors came from the United States, currently the only country where as Ever ships its products. Because as Ever has not released sales, revenue, or profit figures, website traffic has become one of the few publicly available ways to gauge interest in the brand. However, website visits do not necessarily translate into purchases or reflect overall financial performance. According to Closer magazine, an unnamed source claimed Harry is trying to remain upbeat despite perceived financial woes, and inside a speculator that Harry's share of the legal costs from his battle with a British newspaper could potentially be upwards of twenty five million dollars, although no official figure has been determined by the court.

7:00 The insiders said Harry's putting on a brave face, but privately this has been a brutal blow because the financial hit may end up being worse than anyone expected. All this talk about Elton John and other people coming to the rescue is not grounded in reality at all. For one thing, Harry is far too proud to go around asking his friends for handouts instead, The source suggested, the Duke may ultimately need to obtain a conventional loan if substantial legal costs are rewarded against him. The report also speculates that any financial strain could slow the expansion of Megan's as Ever lifestyle brand and delay other plans the couple may have had. The expansion for her brand will most certainly have to be dialed way back, if not totally put on hold, the source claimed. And there you have it.
