Is King Charles messing with Meghan Markle's cologne launch?

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.000
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome
to Palace Intrigue. I'm your host,

2
00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:20.079
Mark Franctanc. Meghan Michael is reportedly
furious over King Charles's recent product launch.

3
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.920
A source of told New Idea magazine
that Meghan believes the King's Honey launch is

4
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:29.640
no coincidence and wants to confront her
father in law, but Prince Harry is

5
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.920
holding her back. The source explained, She's trying to establish herself as a

6
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:39.280
lifestyle mogul, but now she's competing
with a royal rival. Adding to Meghan's

7
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:44.479
frustration, King Charles has also released
a new men's cologne, I Grove Splash,

8
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.000
retailing at one hundred and thirty five
pounds, which has further disenheartened the

9
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:54.719
Duchess as she was planning to develop
her own men's grooming range. The insider

10
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.719
added, she had no idea about
this, and now suddenly, as she

11
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.399
sees it, there's a glunt of
his products on the market. She's one

12
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:03.879
step away from calling Charles about the
clash, but Prince Harry is holding her

13
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:10.159
back. The source also mentioned that
Megan is convinced that Haigrove's latest promotion is

14
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:15.319
a deliberate attempt to curb her success. Royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror,

15
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.079
Meghan's new brand, American Riviera Orchard, has already gained popularity with over

16
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:23.280
a half million followers, but it's
essentially just a rebranding of the Tig,

17
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.319
the brand she abandoned when she married
Harry, thinking that life as a royal

18
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:32.799
princess would be filled with endless deference
and untold wealth. We don't yet know

19
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:37.319
exactly what the new brand will be
selling, but it's astonishing that a royal

20
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.000
prince and his wife have been reduced
to selling some of the things we have

21
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:47.120
already been told they will be selling
marmalae jams and even dog shampoo. This

22
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:51.000
new enterprise and Meghan's widely publicized visit
to the children's home in Los Angeles a

23
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:56.959
definitely linkedn suggests that the couple are
beginning to feel uncomfortable sitting around in Montecito

24
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.000
with not very much to do.
Liita Rebel is the head of Design to

25
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.599
Own Your Space. She doesn't like
the Orchard's logo. She said they have

26
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.400
got creative with the logo's crest by
hiding the initials in there, but it's

27
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:14.759
so messy that it's almost impossible to
notice. It's like they were aiming for

28
00:02:14.840 --> 00:02:16.520
clever, but it ended up being
a bit of a puzzle that's hard to

29
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:21.560
solve. The whole design of the
logo feels like it was rushed with too

30
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.280
much going on at once. It's
like someone didn't know when to stop drawing.

31
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.680
Because of this, it's tough to
make out any clear shape or idea

32
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:30.759
in the mess. They picked a
fancy handwriting style for the text, but

33
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:35.439
once you scale it down to a
normal size, good luck trying to read

34
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:38.159
it. The thin lines of the
script just blend together, making it straining

35
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.840
on your eyes. A source tells
Closer that Megan is stressing about her new

36
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.479
cooking show. You can just imagine
the kind of pressure it's putting on her

37
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.599
and, by extension, Harry.
If this show flops, it will be

38
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.080
a total disaster, and she knows
it. She's on tinderhooks waiting for it

39
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:55.800
to come out, and the stress
it's causing her as being felt by everyone

40
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:00.240
around her, especially Harry. Harry
certainly doesn't expect her to create an empire.

41
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.400
He loves her no matter what,
and at the end of the day,

42
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.759
he just wants her to be happy. A source told Okay magazine.

43
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:08.560
This has been such a tough few
months for Megan and Harry and the pressure

44
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:12.960
they are under is a lot to
handle. They feel they are constantly under

45
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.800
attack. When they first left the
Royals, they had so much support,

46
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:20.400
and that support seems to be dwindling
over time and they're facing more and more

47
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:23.400
criticism. Harry has been really hurt
by the backlash over his award nomination,

48
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:28.639
and Megan is still reeling over the
Spotify Acts as she loved doing that podcast

49
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:30.800
and she knows people want her to
fail with her next project. So there's

50
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.439
quite a lot of tension in the
house at the moment. Prince Harry's upcoming

51
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.719
Netflix show centered around Polo was expected
to struggle with attracting a large audience,

52
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:44.719
according to Royal expert Richard fitz Williams. Fitz Williams told The Mirror Nato Figueris

53
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.360
is a friend of Harry's and will
appear in Harry's series on Polo for Netflix,

54
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:52.439
Yet this is an elitist sport and
unlikely to draw a large number of

55
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:57.319
viewers. On the podcasting front,
there were industry rumors last week that Megan's

56
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.159
new partner, Lemonade Media, was
up for sale. An industry inside it

57
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:04.439
tells Palace Intrigue. I got to
wonder if that second podcast ever happens.

58
00:04:04.560 --> 00:04:09.639
As it stands, the new podcast
is scheduled to debut sometime next year.

59
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.680
Harry and Meghan have reportedly designed to
give their two children, Archie and the

60
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.000
Little Bit, a new surname.
According to The Mirror, Archie five and

61
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:20.759
little Bit three began using the surname
Sussex following King charles coronation last May.

62
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:27.399
The surname mount Batten Windsor was established
by the Privy Council, the official advisors

63
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.759
to the late Queen Elizabeth Second,
in nineteen sixty. It was intended to

64
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.759
be used by all male line descendants
of the late Queen and Prince Philip,

65
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.920
including Prince Harry. A source explained
to The Times. The reality behind the

66
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.120
new site is very simple. It's
a hub for the work the Sussexes do

67
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.800
and it reflects the fact that the
family have since the King's coronation, the

68
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:54.920
same surname for the first time.
More Palace intrigue in just a moment and

69
00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:01.319
a note from a reviewer, it
seems that hfcd jbf FIBV it's not happy

70
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:05.560
with the show, leaving us a
one star review. I listened to this

71
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:10.360
Royal gossip podcast for several months,
but I am un following now there are

72
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.879
so many ads crammed into the short
daily show. I know there isn't much

73
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.680
new Royal news daily or weekly,
but now it's just repetitive and speculation.

74
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:24.319
And no, I'm not paying for
a subscription. Oh come on, hfcbddbi

75
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:29.120
BV, help us out, huh. I do like to give a shout

76
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.759
out to our one star reviews because, for the most part, they are

77
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.959
about two things. They're about the
commercials, which we have no control over.

78
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:42.560
We put this show together for your
enjoyment seven days a week, and

79
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.199
we hope that you are enjoying this
show, but to do so cost time

80
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.560
and money, and commercials pay for
that. If you would like the show

81
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.800
for free, then you have to
listen to the commercials. If not,

82
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:58.000
we offer a subscription and you can
get this show commercial free. And the

83
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.040
other reason we get a lot of
one star review use this because of our

84
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:05.800
courage of Megan and Harry. Now, this is a fun, entertaining gossip

85
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:13.720
podcast about the royal family. We
report what the others report, and unfortunately,

86
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:15.720
or fortunately for us, most of
it is about Harry and Meghan.

87
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.079
So we hope you continue to enjoy
this show for what it is, a

88
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:25.759
fun, gossipy entertainment program. Another
news keep, Middleton continues to stay out

89
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:30.120
of the spotlight a she rehabilitates from
her cancer treatments. Speaking of speculation,

90
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.959
is King Charles about to abdicate and
move to New York City? Well?

91
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:36.360
Most likely not that we can speculate
with the best of them. Charles has

92
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:41.879
reportedly acquired a new five point four
million pound property in New York according to

93
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:45.759
public records. The apartment, purchased
for six point six million, is situated

94
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.160
in what was declared the fourth tallest
building in the United States in twenty twenty

95
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.680
two, and was sold to His
Majesty, the King in Right of Canada.

96
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.079
The luxury property both several impressive features
within the building, including the golf

97
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:00.000
simulator, the fitness center, private
dining room, and swimming ball. Despite

98
00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:03.040
its opulentce, it's not the most
expensive unit in the building, which is

99
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:08.519
also the world's thinnest skyscraper. A
penthouse apartment in the same building sold for

100
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:15.000
fifty three million dollars in October of
last year. Staying on the speculation front,

101
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.879
the Daily Beast started throwing the words
rose Hanbury around again, noting that

102
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:23.439
rumors of an affair with William have
dissipated. The article mentions the removal and

103
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.800
editing of dozens of online articles without
informing readers, calling it a critique of

104
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:31.519
media transparency. A former senior staffer
the Son told The Daily Beast, no

105
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.759
one likes killing stories, and it's
always a bigger deal than you expect.

106
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.519
Many editors are against it in principle, but it is the last resort when

107
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:43.160
you have lawyers giving you major agro. If no one is reading the story

108
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:46.600
anymore, as it's all, it's
preferable to retrospectively spike it than to waste

109
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:51.279
thousands fighting it. Royal author Christopher
Anderson, who wrote a biography of King

110
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:56.319
Charles, said anyone who was attempted
to scrubble also past coverage or rose Hanbury's

111
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:00.519
alleged affair with William has a mighty
make that impossible to ask ahead of them

112
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:03.279
by trying to tidy up past articles. Whoever is behind this is now pouring

113
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:07.759
more fuel on the fire. Friends
of William and Kate defended the couple's actions

114
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:11.800
against the rumors, once said,
I genuinely think if Rose hadn't been named,

115
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:16.120
they would have regarded this as just
more rubbish on the internet and wouldn't

116
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.600
have lifted a finger. Nonsense stories
are water off a duck's back. To

117
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:24.160
the Royals, William and Kate have
reportedly made a decision to distance themselves from

118
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:30.000
Prince Harry to focus on positivity.
A source confirmed to Okay William and Kate

119
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:35.559
are very consciously focusing on positivity and
recovery. Royal expert Ingrid Seward provided further

120
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:39.559
insight to The Mirror. William is
sensitive. He likes structure and his perseverance.

121
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:43.399
He does not give up easily.
His relationship with brother Harry upset him

122
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.039
more than he would care to admit, but he found it easier to cut

123
00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:50.200
ties rather than allow himself to be
continually annoyed. And they have it.
