If Trump wins, Prince Harry may need to learn Portuguese PLUS Kate Middleton finds religion

Show Notes
Transcript

Today could be a monumental day in the saga of Harry and Meghan.
With Trump and Harry reportedly far from friends, there’s speculation that a future President Trump could, in theory, give the Duke of Montecito a one-way ticket out of the U.S. Royal watcher Hugo Vickers weighed in, saying, “I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Trump suddenly said, ‘Right, I’m sending Prince Harry out of this country.’”
Other royal experts think the Sussexes new Portugal pad is just a vacation spot. Richard Fitzwilliams was quick to point out that Harry and Meghan probably aren’t looking to replace their California home base anytime soon. Fitzwilliams also didn’t hold back on calling Harry’s drug-use revelations in *Spare* “extremely foolish.” As for Trump actually making a scene by ejecting Harry, Fitzwilliams doubts it, saying it’s unlikely he’d want to risk a public fiasco with the royal family.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.960
Calorougus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas intrigug I

2
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:16.879
am your host Mark Francis. Today it could be a

3
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:20.519
monumental day in the saga of Harry and Meghan. With

4
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.879
Trump and Harry reportedly far from friends, there's speculation that

5
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:28.399
a future President Trump could, in theory give the Duke

6
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:30.960
of Montecito a one way ticket out of the US.

7
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:34.840
Royal watcher Hugo Vickers weighed in, saying I wouldn't be

8
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.079
at all surprised if Trump suddenly said, right, I'm sending

9
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:41.880
Prince Harry out of this country. Other royal experts think

10
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.240
the Sussex's new Portugal pad is just a vacation spot.

11
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:47.759
Richard fitz Williams was quick to point out that Harry

12
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.799
and Meghan probably aren't looking to replace their California home

13
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:53.880
base anytime soon. Fitz Williams also didn't hold back on

14
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:58.920
calling Harry's drug use revelations in spare extremely foolish. As

15
00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:02.960
for Trump actually making a scene by ejecting Harry, Fitzwilliams

16
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.239
doubts it, saying it's unlikely he'd want to risk a

17
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:10.000
public fiasco with the royal family. Possible former sex bomb

18
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.120
Princess Anne was reportedly none too pleased after rumors circulated

19
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.480
that she'd made some offhand remarks about Donald Trump. Vanity

20
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.959
Fair's royal correspondent Katie Nicol mentioned that the Princess was

21
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.719
genuinely unsettled by the chatter, especially when AIDS informed her

22
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:28.879
she'd gone viral on Twitter. According to Nicol, I don't

23
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:30.959
think she was even aware of the fuss she caused

24
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.680
when she was seen supposedly gossiping with world leaders about

25
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.640
Trump once it reached her that social media was a buzz,

26
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.799
and was said to be pretty upset as she's usually

27
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:45.879
meticulous about keeping things strictly diplomatic. Prince William has touched

28
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.879
down in Cape Town, kicking off his four day visit

29
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:51.760
centered on the Earth Shot Prize Awards with a packed

30
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:56.200
schedule of climate focused engagements. Arriving solo, Williams Trippers's first

31
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:59.719
major tour since Kate's recent health diagnosis, adding a personal

32
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.840
lay to his return to the African continent. In his

33
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:05.000
opening day, the Prince was all smiles as he met

34
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.759
with South African actress Nonzamo Mabatha and took a group

35
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.759
selfie with young climate activists against the stunning backdrop of

36
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.000
Table Mountain. His visit began with the inaugural earth Shot

37
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.439
Climate Leader's Youth Program and initiative, gathering one hundred and

38
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:24.599
twenty young environmentalists to learn leadership, storytelling and networking as

39
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:29.520
they tackle pressing environmental issues. Decked out in sustainable fashion,

40
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.080
the nod to his commitment to the cause, William's week

41
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:35.400
is a showcase of eco friendly choices, with his wardrobe

42
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.199
featuring pieces from eco alf, a sustainable brand from Spain,

43
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.400
He's clearly setting a theme for the week, which culminates

44
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.000
in the earth Shot Prize awards ceremony on Wednesday. This

45
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:48.280
year's event is hosted at Greenpoint Shared Fields in an

46
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:51.599
eco dome and boasts a star studded lineup including Billy

47
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:55.360
Porter and performances from gen z icons like Heidi Klum

48
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:58.439
and Robert Irwin. Reflecting on the significance of the event,

49
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.520
William shared how Africa has been an anchor in his life,

50
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.520
saying Africa has always held a special place in my heart.

51
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.199
As the founding inspiration behind the earth Shot Prize, this

52
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:12.520
fourth annual event, broadcast across Africa and later on BBC iPlayer,

53
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.400
aims to inspire a new generation of climate champions, a

54
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:20.479
mission that's clearly close to William's heart. There is speculation

55
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:24.319
that Keat's gotten more religious following her health scare, making

56
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.400
her much more spiritual than the future head of the Church.

57
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.719
Royal correspondent Robert Hartman notes in his new biography of

58
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.439
King Charles, within the wider royal orbit, especially the Church

59
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.120
of England, there had been speculation the events of twenty

60
00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:39.680
twenty four might have nudged the Prince of Wales a

61
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:42.919
little closer in the direction of the Almighty. However, Hardman

62
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:46.159
writes that, according to a close source, no change, of course. There.

63
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.479
Another insider adds, he is a modern young man, and

64
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.439
I think he gets embarrassed by certain aspects of ceremonial

65
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.919
and religion. When William eventually ascends to the throne, the

66
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.719
Mirror reports he will fulfill his constitutional obligations to the

67
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.759
Church of England, but his personal stance on religion is

68
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:07.840
not expected to shift significantly. Hardman elaborates he will, not, however,

69
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.479
suddenly become a regular worshiper or feign an enthusiasm for

70
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.879
something he does not feel personally. However, bleak the situation

71
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.959
by contrast, Kate's health ordeal seems to have sparked a

72
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.959
deepened interest in matters of faith. I would say that

73
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:24.639
things are much more hopeful there, remarked a family friend

74
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:29.519
who regularly attends church that new Channel four Dispatcher's documentary

75
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.600
has raised eyebrows with its investigation into the royal finances,

76
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.959
focusing on the secret millions reportedly linked to King Charles

77
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:40.680
and Prince William's estates. Royal biographer Angela Levin, however, has

78
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:44.360
hit back, calling the investigation a hatchet job. In an

79
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.160
interview with gb News, leven argued the fact that it's

80
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.079
been open for them to see tells you nobody's trying

81
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.120
to hide anything. She defended the King, noting his one

82
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.639
hundred million pound donations to charities and stating he's not

83
00:04:56.680 --> 00:04:59.920
a greedy man. Levin further likened the Duchies of Flancaster,

84
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.319
Cornwall to any private estate where tenants are expected to

85
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:06.519
pay for their use of the land, addressing whether it's

86
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.480
appropriate for one of Britain's wealthiest men to receive tax

87
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.720
benefits eleven counted they give back. The King has given

88
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.759
one hundred million pounds to various charities. He's given money

89
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.959
away all the time. The program, she said, reflects Channel

90
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.480
four's general bias against the Royals. There's a nasty aura

91
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.199
about this. Channel Ford doesn't like the royal family and

92
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:29.040
they make any possible time to whack them. Palat intrincer

93
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:36.680
be right back. Chica Abra Khaled al Zabah, a Kuwaiti

94
00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:40.480
royal film producer and mother of four, recently hinted at

95
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:45.000
a potential partnership with Harry and Meghan. Speaking to Eden Confidential,

96
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.600
Schicah a Bra shared her excitement over the idea, saying

97
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:51.240
it would be a very nice coming together of European

98
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.680
royalty and Arab royalty. Everyone portrays us in a way

99
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.000
that is not true, she explained. I'm trying to get

100
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.839
that message out there and change the ideas people have

101
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:04.360
about the golf. Oprah Winfrey is back for her annual

102
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.279
Favorite Things lists, and this year's selection features a bit

103
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:10.759
of royal connection. Oprah revealed that her friend and Montecito

104
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:15.399
neighbor Megan, introduced her to Touchka's Hinoki bodycare set price

105
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:17.759
to the cool one hundred and forty six dollars. The

106
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:21.000
set featuring body milk, body wash, and body oil is

107
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.600
infused with the brand's Forest Awakening Essential Oil Blend, a

108
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.439
mix of cedar, Heba and Hinoki oils, which Toucher claims

109
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:32.639
can reduce stress, lift mood, and promote well being. Oprah

110
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:35.360
gave her seal of approval, saying this is a favorite

111
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:37.680
favorite thing with a scent of forest, sent to me

112
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.319
by my neighbor Megan. Oprah is so taken with the

113
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.399
Luxurious Trio that she keeps it by her tub, adding

114
00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:47.480
a touch of forest vibes to her bathrootine. Meghan, who's

115
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.040
long been a fan of Taucher products, is no stranger

116
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:53.040
to sharing the beauty brand with friends. Back in twenty nineteen,

117
00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:55.839
she gifted guests at her New York baby shower with

118
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.920
seven hundred dollars goodie bags, including Touch's sixty five dollars

119
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:03.600
Rice Polish and It's Foliant, she once raved about in

120
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.839
a lure. With Oprah's nod in this year's list, it

121
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.600
seems the Montecito Neighbor Network has added a touch of

122
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.759
luxury self care to the holiday season. Remains to be

123
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:16.120
seen how Oprah feels about Megan's designer jam and dog
