Harry’s Reunion, Kate’s Loom Tour, and the Return of Trump (Plus Beatrice & Piers Weigh In)

0:03 Calorougus Shark Media. Hello on Welcome to Palace Intrie Game. Your host Mark Frances. Prince Harry has spoken warmly of King Charles following a private reunion at Clarence House, describing his father as great. It was their first face two face meeting in nineteen months and lasted fifty four minutes. The Duke of Sussex arrived at the King's London residence at five twenty pm on Wednesday and departed just around six fifteen pm to attend an Invictus Games Foundation event, where he told well wishes, Yes, he's great, thank you when asked about his father. The King, still undergoing cancer treatment, had traveled from Balmoral to London for the meeting. The last time the two met was in February twenty twenty four, shortly after the monarch's diagnosis was made public. Private tea followed an investiture ceremony earlier in the day, when King Charles honored Holocaust survivor Manfred Goldberg with an MBE for his services to Holocaust remembrance and education. A Royal source was quoted by The Mail. The sources said that, as part of his attempt to reset the relationship, with his father.

1:19 Harry promised that what passed between them would stay private. This is an important first step towards rebuilding their father and son relationship. He has told his father he won't be giving any interviews about it, and his team have been instructed not to brief journalists about what was said. There's a long way to go before Harry can earn his family's trust, but he's given some assurances. The day, he also saw another senior royal at Clarence House. The Secret Weapon Aunt Sophie was pictured leaving shortly before Harry's arrival, having met with the King following her return from a five day trip to Alberta, Canada. Her engagements there focused on British Canadian ties and charitable work, which she is the thought to have briefed the King on. Despite the science of reconciliation between father and son, relations between Harry and his brother remained strained. The Prince of Wales, who spent Wednesday in Cardiff learning about a new mental health hub for World Suicide Prevention Day, did not see his younger brother during this visit. Harry concluded his visit to the UK on Thursday with an engagement at the Diana Award in central London, where he met young people using social action to support mental health. Harry spent around an hour with the charity, which was founded in memory of his mother, Princess Diana. He listened to a panel discussion and spoke with young change makers before departing at eleven eighteen a m. In a statement, he said, my mother believed in the power and agency of young people to positively impact the world. The Diana Award continues her legacy by putting young people at the heart of everything they do.

2:52 Today is a perfect example of that. My message to everyone is don't stand still, don't stay silent, make them hear you, because you speak for the majority. Harry's spokesperson said he loved being back in the UK, catching up with old friends, colleagues, and just generally being able to support the incredible work of the causes that mean so much to him. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have pledged five hundred thousand dollars through their Archbell Foundation to support children injured in the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine. The grants will provide two hundred thousand dollars to the World Health Organization for medical evacuations from Gaza to Jordan, one hundred and fifty thousand to Save the Children for humanitarian support in Gaza, and one hundred fifty thousand to Imperial College London's Center for Blast Injury Studies to help develop prosthetics for young amputees. In a statement released by Archiwal, Harry said Garza now has the highest density of child amputees in the world and in history. No single organization can solve this alone. It takes partnerships across government, science, medicine, humanitarian response and advocacy to ensure churre and survive and can recover after their blast injuries. This donation follows a separate one point four million dollar personal gift Harry made earlier in the week to BBC Children in Need. Piers Morgan was not impressed by the charity. Appearing on ITVS this morning, Morgan said they spend five years enriching themselves in California for trashing their family. You can't get away

4:24 from that, he said, pointing to the couple's Netflix series and Harry's memoir Spare as examples of what he called hypocrisy. The most intrusive person in the royal privacy ever has been Prince Harry with his book and with his Netflix series. My thing is, you can't have your cake and eat it. What he wants to do is cherry pick certain things that make him look good more palace in just a moment.

5:53 You didn't think the Wales family was going to let Harry have all the headlines, did you? After months of doing nothing, suddenly they are choosing this week to work work with Kate yet making another appearance. This time the Princess of Wales highlighted British craftsmanship with super important priority visits to the Sudbury Silk Mills in Suffolk and Marina Mill in Cuxton, Kent, just as Prince Harry prepared to conclude his UK trip with a Diana Award engagement. At Sudbury, a family run weaving firm, she toured the design studio and the loombs, praising the precision of the work. She told one producer, you've got the job, adding you've got to have an eye for detail. She also said artisan skills are still vitally important and described made in the UK as a global mark of excellence, calling young designers work magical and wonderful. Kate will have to work again next week as Donald and Malania Trump are coming to visit the Princess of Wales is set to play a central role during President Donald Trump's upcoming state visit to the UK. Kate will join the Prince of Wales and formally welcoming the President and First Lady Milania Trump to Windsor on Wednesday, before being joined by the King and Queen for an open air greeting and a carriage procession through the castle grounds. On Thursday, the final day of the visit, capele the company Missus Trump to Frogmore Gardens, where the pair will meet Chief Scout Dwayne Fields and members of the Scout's Squirrel's Program. The engagement reflects the Princess's position as President of the Scout Association, the role she has held since twenty twenty. Palace officials say her presence underlines her growing importance within the royal family as

7:26 she takes on more high profile duties alongside the heir to the throne. The Princess is also expected to attend ceremonial events throughout the visit, which comes as she continues to highlight her long standing passion for British heritage and craftsmanship. Princess Beatrice stepped out in London to join a host of celebrities at the BGC Group Charity Day, held each year on the anniversary of the nine to eleven attacks. Representing the CFRF, the thirty seven year old princess was seen taking to the phones of the company's London office, smiling as she helped raise funds for good causes. Beatrice long black button up dress and Hills was joined by stars including Hugh Grant and Tom Hardy. The annual event has taken place since two thousand and four in memory of BGC staff lost on nine to eleven and has raised millions for charity. An online book of condolence has been opened on the Royal Family's official website in memory of Catherine, Duchess of Kent, who died on September fourth at age ninety two. Catherine was the wife of the Duke of Kent, cousin to the late Queen Elizabeth. The virtual condolence book allows members of the public to send messages of sympathy to the Duchess's family ahead of her funeral next week. A requiem mass will be held at Westminster Cathedral on September sixteenth, marking the first Catholic funeral for a member of the Royal family in modern British history in a notable moment of unity. The King, head of the Church of England, will attend the service, accompanied by the Queen and other members of the royal family.
