Has Meghan Put Harry on a Royal Travel Budget?

0:00 Ah Calorougus Shark Media that lower welcome through palace intrigue ga Am your host Mark Francis. A report claims Megan has become increasingly concerned about the cost of Harry's repeated trips to the UK. I saw stills closer. She's also pushing Harry to cut way back on his travel to the UK. Her argument is that the bills are huge and there's nothing to show for it. She doesn't see the point in Harry spending a ton of money to kiss up to people who constantly let him down. The same unnamed source also claimed Meghan is encouraging Harry to take a more cautious approach to spending, generally, alleging that she wants him to rethink everything from private jet travel to generous tipping and lending money to friends. The source said Harry is a very generous guy. He loves to leave outrageous tips and he'll lend money to friends no questions asked. But Megan's putting the cabash on all of that.

0:56 From now on, he's under strict orders to think twice before he opens his walad. Prince Harry's reported estrangement from the Royal family may extend well beyond his father and brother, with new claims suggesting he has also drifted apart from several of his cousins. Writing in Woman magazine were all commentated. Duncan Larcolm says Harry's once close friendship with Zara Tyndall has largely faded in recent years. Larcolm wrote, sources see the Duke of Sussex has all but lost touch with his one time playmate Zara. I understand they have barely spoken in the years since the Prince met and married Megan. Not only are they said to have drifted apart, but the old close friendship they once enjoyed, as I understand, almost entirely evaporated. Harry and Zara once considered especially close.

1:41 In fact, Harry is often credited with introducing Zara to her future husband, Mike Tyndall, during the World Rugby Cup in two thousand and three. The pair have rarely been seen together in recent years, with their last public appearance together coming briefly at King Charles coronation. The report also points to Harry's absence from the wedding of Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling. Apart from Lady Louise Windsor, who was reportedly unavailable because of university commitments. Harry was the only royal cousin not in attendance. There have been rumors that Harry is exploring a Netflix documentary marking the thirtieth anniversary of Diana's death next year. No such project has been officially announced. One source tells Radar Online it sickens him that Meghan is going to have any part in this tribute to his mother. He blames her for tearing the family apart and doesn't believe for a second that his mother would approve. Another supposed point of friction is Harry's repeated comparisons between Meghan and his late mother. In the Sussexes twenty twenty two Netflix series, Harry said, so much of what Meghan is and how she is is so similar to my mum. She has the same compassion, she has the same empathy, she has the same confidence, she has this warmth about her. The source claims those comparisons continue to upset William. The fact that Harry keeps trying to sell this idea that Megan is some sort of Diana two point zero really gets under William's skin because he finds the comparis Rison's deeply offensive and says they are way off the mark. But Harry believes Megan has all the qualities people admired in his mother and says anyone who can't see that is blind. Megan's incredibly honored that Harry has so much faith in her, and she

3:12 doesn't see anything wrong with trying to follow in her late mother in law's footsteps. The report goes on to claim that William fears any future Diane A project could place Meghan at the center of the story. As far as He's concerned, they are using Dane's legacy to help build Meghan's brand, and that's something he'll never stand for. Unfortunately, for William, there's really not much he can do to stop this. Harry is still very close to Diane's brother and the rest of the Spencer clan. In the Daily Mail, Nadine Dory's writes, I wonder if William might consult someone close to him who has her own experience of wayward sibling and family tensions, a matriarcle figure who is as trustworthy as she is wise, and for whom the family is everything. Step forward, Carol Middleton Readers may recall that Carol has a younger brother, one Gary Goldsmith, a four times married former hell raiser whe It's multuous love life who has faced unsubstantiated allegations of illegal drug use. In two thousand and nine, he was filmed cutting lines of cocaine for a sex worker at a party in a Beeza.

4:11 He famously hosted William and Kate before they married at his luxury party Villa and a Beeza Maison de bang BEng was a contestant and celebrity big brother and has never been shy about talking to journalists about his perfect niece Kate or offering his opinion on other members of the royal family. The potential for embarrassment was enormous. He is our future Queen's uncle, after all. But did Carol banish her only sibling from the family or forbid all contact with naughty uncle Gary? When William and Kate married in twenty eleven, she did not, and Gary attended the nuptials alongside his then wife Luanne. So, Wills, why not have a word with your formidable mother in law, who knows a thing or two about family unity, which of pride and hurt her side? You won't regret it, and you may just get your brother back more palsy just a moment. King Charles has long been known for giving unusual nicknames to members of his family, and one of the most affectionate is reserved for Queen Camilla. According to royal biographer Giles Brandreth, Charles sometimes calls his wife Berbuba, an Urdu word meaning my beloved. The nickname is thought to reflect the king's long standing interest in South Asia and his many visits to India and Pakistan over the decades.

5:23 It's not just a private term of endearment that during a speech at a British agent trust of Ventim twenty twenty two, Charles referred to Camilla publicly, telling the audience, I cannot believe this is almost two years to the day that both my Buber and myself were able to be with all of you. Camilla has also picked up another nickname over the year's Royal biographer Robert Hardman has written that some friends jokingly called her Lorraine, play on the French phrase la Raine, meaning the queen. According to Hardman, Kimilla found the joke amusing, although Charles reportedly did not share her enthusiasm. Kimilla's sister, Annabel Elliott, summed it up by saying, they're yanely. They really are polar opposites, but I think it works brilliantly. She added, she uses rock and I can't actually emphasize that enough. She's somebody who is completely loyal. Camilla herself has offered a simpler explanation for the success of their marriage. During the couple's twentieth wedding anniversary celebrations in twenty twenty five, she said, I suppose it's just sort of a friendship, really, she added, laughing at the same things, getting on with life. I suppose doing this takes up most of the time. The King has spent decades cultivating an image of royal formality, but according to one of Britain's most beloved musical theater stars, there was also a mischievous sense of humor working beneath the crown. Day Malin Page has been recalling the day she received her damehood from the King at Windsor Castle, describing an exchange that left Charles laughing loudly enough to momentarily break the usual atmosphere of an investiture ceremony. The West end legend, who was honored for her contributions to music and charitable work, so she quickly discovered one challenge

6:55 when approaching the King, the difference in height between them. He was up on a day as anarticularly short, she recalled, he let it down beside my left ear and said, keeping your hand in are you? Asked later whether the King's remark was a little saucy, Dame m'line responded with a joke of her own. I said, I'm working on a new album. I'll send you a signed copy, your majesty when it's finished. According to Elaine, the response landed perfectly. He roared with laughter, she said, adding that she may still send him that signed album. The scene that described the entire occasion is magical, not least because she found itself sharing the day with David Beckham, who was receiving his nighthood during the same ceremony. When a name first appeared on the King's birthday honors list, Elaine said the recognition felt deeply meaningful after a career that had spanned more than half a century, Music and the charities I support on the mainstays of my life. She said at the time to receive this acknowledgment for doing what I love.

7:43 It's the ultimate privilege. She added, in the words of Rogers and Hammerstein, there is nothing like a dean, and this newly minted one is absolutely over the moon and truly grateful. The honors have continued to arrive. Earlier this year, Dame Maline received a Special Recognition Award of the Olivier Awards were a personal mess I said from Queen Camello was read allowed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. I was delighted to learn you were to receive this year's Special Award of the Olivier's twenty twenty six Camilla wrote, I can think of no more fitting recipient. The Queen praised Elaine's decades long career, adding, over the decades your career, your talent, commitment, and generosity of spirit have made you a truly defining figure in musical theater. You have quite simply brought huge joy to untold numbers of people across the globe, and we are all in your debt. For Royal watchers, the story offers one of those rare glimpses behind the curtain.

8:30 Investitures are usually carefully choreographed affairs, measured in handshakes, medals and photographs. Yet for a brief moment at Windsor Castle, one of Britain's most famous performers managed to get the King laughing out loud.
