HARRY'S SECRET ETON PLAN: ARCHIE REGISTERED FOR WILLIAM'S SCHOOL DESPITE ROYAL WAR

0:03 Calorougus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue host Mark Francis. Prince Harry maybe looking to the future with a gesture that could bring his son Archie closer to his royal roots. Friends of the Duke of Sussex have told The Royalist that he has registered his six year old son for Eton College, the prestigious all boys boarding school located near Windsor attended by both Harry and William. Should Archie eventually attend Eton, he would be joining a new generation of Royals.

0:47 Prince George is already enrolled, and Prince Louis could well be there at the same time. While five years separate Archie and George, the age gap between Archie and Louis is less than two. An old friend of both William and Harry confirmed to The Royalist it's no longer strictly necessary to put your kids' names down at birth, but Harry has put Archie down. It's fair to say he had mixed feelings about the school when he left, but looking back on it, he can appreciate the good Another friend added for William and Harry, Eaton is really the only sensible choice when it comes to British schools because of security. There are so many high profile and politically exposed kids there that the whole school has ridiculous security provisions. Already, it's seven day boarding, lots of kids fly back and forth at the beginning and end of term, So why shouldn't Archie The school certainly wouldn't be prejudiced against him. Statistically, you'd have to imagine Eaton would be a hell of a lot safer than an American school thanks to their gun laws. Eaton College, known for its long standing tires to the aristocracy, once required registration virtually from birth, but modern practice allows for more flexibility. Boys are typically registered around age ten and undergo a pre selection test followed by the Common Entrance Examination at thirteen. Competition is fierce.

2:13 Estimates suggest only about one in five applicants secure admission. According to The Daily Mail, a long time friend of Harry's revealed I can tell you that Harry wants to educate their children here in the UK, adding that the reasons behind the wish are rather fascinating. The source explained that Harry feels his children are missing out on something their royal cousins enjoy daily. He feels his children are missing out on the extensive family network that their niece and nephews are enjoying. The friend said he wants his children to have the very best education. He has retained his closest friendship group of confidence from his days at school at Ludgrove and Eton. He wants that for his own children. The idea, however, may not yet be set in stone. The source admitted that while Harry is enthusiastic about the plan, his wife Megan may need convincing. There is still some negotiation for Harry to have with Megan, the insider said. Harry and Megan have made a surprise appearance over the weekend at a charity concert in California, continuing their support for first responders in their local community.

3:22 The couple attended the one eight h five Live Benefit concert on the twentieth of September at the ocean side estate of actor Kevin Costner in Carpenteria, California. The event raises funds for critical equipment and mental health programs for first responders in Santa Barbara County. This year's musical lineup included performances from Trisha Yearwood, Good, Charlotte, the Frey, Alan Parsons and thom Houston, among others. The Duchess briefly joined her husband on stage before stepping aside to watch as the Duke presented an award to Santa Barbara County Fire Chief Mark Hertwig. During his recent visit to the UK, Harry quietly visited the Duke of Kent in a moment not previously disclosed to the public. According to a spokesperson for the prince, the meeting was made so that Harry could personally pay his respects and offer condolences following the death of the Duchess of Kent, who passed away at the age of ninety two. Although Harry departed the UK prior to the Duchess's funeral, which took place at Westminster Cathedral last Tuesday, he made time for the private call during his brief stay. A source told Hello magazine that the Prince regretted not remaining in the country longer, adding he has loved catching up with his family, friends and colleagues.

4:42 His only regret was not being able to stay longer and see more people. But the meetings in Ukraine had been in the diary for a long time and it mattered to him to be there in person to see the Invictus Games, foundations, growing work, and the progress at Superhumans. Here's some over analysis for you. Tamark. Harry's fortieth Meghan posted a single photo to Instagram of her husband from twenty fifteen, before they'd even met, taken during an a ref flypast at Goodwood Eerodrome shortly after he left the military. The image was captioned simply oh, Hi birthday boy. But for some Royal watches the post was anything but sweet, because in Montecito, even happy birthday could be part of a conspiracy. Royal biographer Ingrid Seward told the Son, I think Megan chose that photo because it was Harry what she would say, at his hunkiest, he looked very sort of masculine and young and marcho, and I think that's probably how Megan likes to see him. Seward noted it was curious that Megan chose an image from Harry's solough years rather than one of the two of them, or one from more recent times. I do think it's a bit strange that she didn't choose one more in line with the time when they met, or maybe even one of them together. But knowing Meghan, everything she does is very carefully thought through, or possibly Harry just looks cool in the photo. Suits costar Rick Hoffman has nothing but

6:14 kind words for Megan. He said, I'm a TikTok fanatic. I like Doom Scroll, so I've seen snippets of with Love Megan, and it's exactly what Meghan used to do when we were celebrating holidays up in Canada. Meghan would love to prepare things, cook things, and I would mess them up because I would, by accident slice a turkey. Not the right way to try to help, and it wasn't the right presentation. He described their holiday gatherings as feeling very much like family, given the casts distance from their own loved ones. While filming in Toronto, I remember Megan preparing it once and I was trying to help and I'm like, oh, carve it, and She's like no.

6:54 I was like, the messed up older brothers that kind of thing, what are you doing? Meanwhile, we learned that Meghan is apparently one of the world's foremost packing experts, according to fellow Suits costar Patrick J. Adams, who credited Meghan for having tricks of the trade and things that she's amazing at doing that most of us wouldn't think about doing. One of the best things he learned from Meghan how to pack a travel bag instead of just throwing stuff in, he said. You can imagine Meghan would be like you pack a bag by folding it perfectly and putting dryer sheets, he said, noting that she puts dryer sheets in her travel bag when she packs it. The tip was something Adams says was something he thought was so genius. I never would have thought of that.

7:37 Forward your close everyone, Thanks Megan more pounceing just a moment, Harry and Meghan had found themselves once again in the satirical spotlight, this time courtesy of Spitting Image, the long running British puppet show known for its irreverent humor and unfiltered take on public figures. The latest installment of the scene, which returned online amid President Donald Trump's second state visit to the UK, has been released in a new format on YouTube under the title The Rest is Bs, a clear nod to the popular Goalhanger podcast series. In one segment, a bold puppet of Prince Harry introduces himself as just a regular fifth in line to the throne before launching into a monologue next to Paddington Bear. On the show, Pads and I like to talk about the issues of the day that affect us, all like negotiating a third Netflix series, as well as offering our live hacks, he says.

8:35 Turning to his own journey, the puppet reflects being an immigrant isn't easy. I know, I immigrated to America and fitting in is hard. In the US, they call Left's elevators. The episode also jests about the Duke's legal battle over security protections in the UK, with the puppet quipping my family had to flee Britain because of the intrusive UK media weren't panging as much as the use of US media. Megan Mikales Netflix series with Love Megan also comes in for satirical treatment, introducing herself as I'm Meghan Sussex and I am a good person who puppet co hosts a segment with popstar Ariana Grande, parodying the show's blend of lifestyle advice and celebrity conversation. In a send up of Markles cooking tips, the puppet Duchess prepares what she calls a challenging dish a packet of crisps, while the puppet husband remarks it can be a tricky dish to master.

9:33 The episode also references Prince Harry's recent brief meeting with his father, King Charles. The puppet version of the Duke declares, this week I saw my father after the longest time. It was mega. It spent all miss fifty minutes together and don't know where to start. And there you have it. I'd like to email us or addresses The Palace Intriy get gmail dot com.
