Callaroga Shark Media, Hello and welcome through Palace Intrigue and

2
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:19.120
host of Francis Prince. Harry's PR team was apparently working

3
00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:22.440
hard as they fed this story to people before they

4
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:25.960
too ultimately quit because they can't deal with Dutchess difficult,

5
00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:28.679
people tells us. Harry kicked off his New York City

6
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:32.200
trip with family on his mind. Before stepping on stage

7
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.640
at the twenty twenty four Concordia Annual Summit, Harry facetimed

8
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:38.880
Megan and the kids. Harry even gave them a virtual

9
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.520
tour of the events space at the Sheraton New York

10
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.719
Times Square Hotel. During his first day in New York,

11
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.439
Harry highlighted the Diana Award in a panel discussion on

12
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:52.359
mental health. He was joined by doctor tesse Ojo CEO

13
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.719
of the Diana Award, along with two award recipients, Kiara

14
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.920
Rianti who to Pee Zang and Christina Williams. Zang shared

15
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.719
he is so kind hearted. He comforted us after as well.

16
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.200
Backstage he was actually calling Megan. I thought it was

17
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.680
just so sweet and it helped humanize him. Williams also

18
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.439
praised Harry, saying, here is someone in a high level

19
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.640
role who really cares about young people, cares about our

20
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.359
voices and our actions. I am leaving the experience still

21
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.799
maintaining that admiration or even more. Harry asked Williams and

22
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.840
Zen questions about their work and perspectives on the world.

23
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.560
Scared children cannot dream, Prince, Harry Williams told him. At

24
00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.519
one point, when answering a question about why mental health

25
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.319
is so important, Harry praised their work, saying, I applaud you.

26
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:39.760
I know my mum would be incredibly proud of you guys.

27
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:43.280
Your activism, your compassion, those two things are so true

28
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:45.879
to how my mum led her life and what she

29
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.560
believed in. People made sure to tell us that Harry

30
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:51.920
and Meghan are known for keeping in close contact with

31
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:55.480
their children during trips. Who can forget that time Megan

32
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.040
famously took photos of Harry's adaptive skiing during their visit

33
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.400
to Canada to show kids. The panel also addressed the

34
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.879
growing mental health crisis among young people and discussed solutions.

35
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:10.120
The Diana Award launched its Decade of Youth Wellbeing initiative

36
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.280
to lead positive change. Williams said it's about mental health,

37
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.800
but also about mental fitness and mental well being. Harry

38
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:21.319
then participated in an event hosted by the Halo Trust

39
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:24.240
where he was introduced by James Cowen, the CEO of

40
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:28.400
Halo Trust. Cowen said, Princess Diana walked across a cleared

41
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.879
savee path in a minefield in Huambo, Angola, and galvanized

42
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:36.280
the world's attention. Her advocacy set the stage for the

43
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.680
land mine Ban Treaty and the governments and the private

44
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:44.199
sector to end the scourge of landline contamination. The Halo

45
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.439
Trust is thrilled that her son, Prince Harry, the Duke

46
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.120
of Sussex, is directly carrying on the legacy and the

47
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.520
clarion call for landmine clearance. Speaking directly to Harry, Cowen said,

48
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:56.599
You've been one of our most ardent voices and advocates

49
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.400
for mine clearance. Harry spoke, the Halo Trust work in

50
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:02.840
Angola meant a great deal to my mother, carrying on

51
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.039
her legacy as a responsibility, but they take incredibly seriously.

52
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:08.919
Much has changed in my life and the world since

53
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.879
twenty nineteen when I first visited Huambo. In those five years,

54
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.360
I've become a father for the second time. And while

55
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:16.960
you don't need children to have a stake in the

56
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.199
future of our planet. I do know that my mother

57
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.599
would have been horrified that anyone's children or grandchildren would

58
00:03:22.599 --> 00:03:26.080
live in a world still infested with minds. Harry rolled

59
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.599
a seven with a US judge who has rejected the

60
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:33.680
Heritage Foundation's attempts to force the release of Harry's immigration records,

61
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.039
determining that the Duke of Sussex's right to privacy outweighed

62
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:41.080
the public's interest. The conservative think tank filed the request

63
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.360
after Prince Harry disclosed past drug use in his memoir Spare.

64
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.680
The Heritage Foundation argued that the public had a right

65
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.159
to know whether the Department of Homeland Security acted improperly

66
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:55.560
or negligently when admitting Harry into the US DC District.

67
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.800
Judge Carl J. Nichols, appointed by Donald Trump in twenty nineteen,

68
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:02.400
ruled against the Foundation. In his ruling, Judge Nichols stated,

69
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.599
like any foreign national, the Duke has a legitimate privacy

70
00:04:05.639 --> 00:04:08.639
interest in his immigration status, and concluded that the public

71
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:10.800
did not have a strong enough interest in the disclosure

72
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.680
of Harry's records to justify preaching their privacy. Nichols acknowledged

73
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:18.399
that Harry's previous admissions about drug use somewhat diminished his

74
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:22.199
privacy interests, but still held the information sought wouldn't provide

75
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:26.319
sufficient insight into DHS policies regarding drug use and immigration.

76
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.639
The case arose after Harry revealed in Spare that he

77
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.920
had used drugs, including cocaine, cannabis, and psychedelic mushrooms. His

78
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.720
admissions spurred the Heritage Foundation to file a Freedom of

79
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:39.839
Information Act AIA request to find out if Harry's visa

80
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:44.240
application had disclosed this drug use and whether DHS had

81
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:49.319
waighed any ineligibility rules. In response, DHS refused to confirm

82
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.160
or deny whether it had Harry's immigration records, with Judge

83
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.040
Nichols agreeing that such a disclosure would reveal private information

84
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.240
about the Prince. While US law can prevent foreign nationals

85
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.360
with drug use histories from enter during the country, certain

86
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:04.360
types of visas, like the A one diplomatic visa, can

87
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.319
allow exceptions. The Heritage Foundation argued that releasing Harry's records

88
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.879
could reveal whether DHS had been negligent in it allowing

89
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:15.160
him into the country. However, Judge Nichols concluded that releasing

90
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.240
information about a single admission of a foreign national would

91
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:22.800
provide limited insight into the department's overall policies. Neither Prince

92
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.399
Harry nor the Heritage Foundation as yet commented on the ruling.

93
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.279
Royal expert Angela eleven didn't hold back when she criticized

94
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.600
Meghan Markel and Prince Harry during her appearance on the

95
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:36.160
Royal Beat. Levin accused the couple of acting like gurus

96
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.519
on COVID nineteen vaccines, suggesting they were stepping out of

97
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.879
their depth. Megan and Harry know nothing about virology. They

98
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.759
know nothing really about COVID nineteen. It is what they

99
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.360
picked up and what we pick up. We are not experts.

100
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:51.480
Even the Prime Minister listens to experts about what should

101
00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.519
happened with the vaccinations, Megan and Harry sort of jump

102
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.639
in as if they are gurus. Harry's recent solo appearance

103
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.399
at the one eighth five Line Charity Concert in California

104
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.120
came with some awkward moments, adding a dose of unintentional

105
00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.199
drama to the event, with Megan Mirkle pulling out last

106
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.519
minute due to illness, Harry attended alone. Things didn't exactly

107
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.759
go smoothly for the Duke first musician Richard Marx seemingly

108
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.800
didn't recognize the Royal. As Marx walked off stage, he

109
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:21.399
almost passed right by Harry before being redirected. Their brief

110
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.839
interaction consisted of Harry complimenting Marx with their casual Hey,

111
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:27.560
well done, but the moment appeared a bit awkward to

112
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.800
say the least. Then, to top things off, Marx's wife

113
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:35.040
Daisy Fuentes mistakenly tagged Prince William's Instagram account in a

114
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.439
photo featuring Harry. The error was quickly corrected, but not

115
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.240
before it added a layer of embarrassment to Harry's already

116
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:48.959
cringe worthy evening palace intrigue. Don't be Right Back. Denmark's

117
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:51.639
Queen Mary has provided an update on the health of

118
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:56.000
her mother in law, Queen Margreta. While attending engagements in Copenhagen,

119
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.879
Queen Mary was asked about my greater's condition following her

120
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:03.240
recent hospitalization. Queen Mary responded, she is doing very well.

121
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.800
I've had the opportunity to visit her several times since

122
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.399
she came home. She is very friendly and keeps her

123
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:12.279
spirits high. Thank you for the question. Queen Margretor was

124
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:16.360
hospitalized on September eighteenth, after a fall that Fredensborg Palace.

125
00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:19.240
She was discharged two days later, but will remain on

126
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.839
sickly for some time, having sustained an injury to the

127
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:24.920
vertebrae in her neck and a fracture to her left hand.

128
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.120
Several of Queen My Greator's upcoming engagements have been canceled

129
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.040
as a result of her health. King Frederick took a

130
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:34.759
solo trip to Berlerberg, Germany this weekend to visit family,

131
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.839
leaving Queen Mary to step in this regent On Friday.

132
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:40.800
Mary's role was regent became official when the king's whereabouts

133
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.920
were unknown, but by Sunday it was confirmed that Frederick

134
00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:46.319
had been in Germany. He was pictured in a German

135
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:50.600
newspaper alongside his cousin Gustav. This mark the first time

136
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.279
Queen Mary had to serve as regent since assuming her

137
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:56.720
title earlier this year. The role of regent involves stepping

138
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.439
into govern the state when the monarch is unable to fulfillies.

139
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:04.839
Last week, King Charles gave Royal fan Alice Rice a

140
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.720
birthday surprise she won't soon forget, as she celebrated her

141
00:08:08.759 --> 00:08:12.120
eighty seventh birthday while visiting the grounds of Dumfries' house,

142
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:16.279
she unexpectedly crossed paths with the Monarch himself. In a

143
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:19.879
heartwarming clip shared on the King's official social media, Charles

144
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:21.920
was seen taking a stroll when he came upon Alice

145
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:24.879
with a warm smile. He wished her many congratulations and

146
00:08:24.920 --> 00:08:29.079
shook her hand. Alice's reaction, equal parts shock and joy,

147
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.039
made it clear that this unexpected meeting was the highlight

148
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:35.519
of her day. The royal social media team added a

149
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.960
touching caption, the King gave Alice Rice the surprise of

150
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:41.039
her life when she bumped into him in the grounds

151
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.200
of Dumfries' House last week on her eighty seventh birthday.

152
00:08:44.639 --> 00:08:46.919
It went on to note that while Alice was simply

153
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:49.279
enjoying her visit to the estate, which is open to

154
00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:51.679
the public, she was delighted to share her special day

155
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:55.320
with the King himself and they have it. She went
