00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:13.039
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Balance Injury. I

2
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:16.280
am your host, Mark Francis. It appears as if we

3
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:18.839
might actually get another podcast out of Meghan Marcau sometime

4
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:23.239
this decade. Jessica Cordova Kramer, CEO of Lemon Art Media,

5
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:25.839
told the pod News Weekly Review, We've been working with

6
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:28.839
Megan on bringing her show Archetypes to the masses, and

7
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:32.439
it had a phenomenal launch. Feels like sixteen years ago now.

8
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:34.399
We brought that show out to Apple listeners and out

9
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:37.640
beyond Spotify listeners, and the reception has been warm and wonderful,

10
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:39.600
and we had a great time working with Megan on

11
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:42.320
that and her team and Spotify. It was a dream

12
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:44.119
come true as well, So it was really a lovely

13
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.560
experience across the board and our creative team. Our marketing

14
00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:49.759
team is deep in the weeds with the Duchess now

15
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:51.600
and we'll share more in the new year about how

16
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:54.439
that's going. But it's been a really wonderful experience. She's

17
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:56.640
brilliant and hard working and the first person to be

18
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.600
on every single call. She's really just fabulous the podcast

19
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:02.920
and may not have the best relationship with her family,

20
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:05.599
but she does have one with Oprah. Meghan sent Oprah

21
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.079
a Toucher Hinoki skincare set along with a Forest Awakening

22
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.920
book and especially fitting gesture for Oprah, who's a known

23
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:16.000
tree enthusiast. Oprah, who hosted Meghan and Harry's explosive twenty

24
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.560
twenty one interview, shared the news in a video this week,

25
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:20.599
saying I love it because it was sent to me

26
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.519
by our neighbour friend, Megan Markle. She sent it with

27
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:26.319
a Forest Awakening book because she knows I love trees.

28
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.439
It seems as if the Megan Markle pr machine is awakening.

29
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.400
Although Meghan's holiday card wasn't well received, William and Kate

30
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.560
have unveiled their twenty twenty four Christmas card, featuring a

31
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:39.760
heartwarming family photo that carries a poignant backstory. The image,

32
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.840
taken from a video filmed in Norfolk this summer, marked

33
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:46.040
the end of Princess Kate's chemotherapy and showcases the family

34
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.000
of five in a tender and relaxed pose. The card

35
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:52.359
was revealed in a post on x simply captioned wishing

36
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:55.560
everyone a very Happy Christmas. A touching reminder of resilience

37
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:57.879
and togetherness. The photo has quickly become a symbol of

38
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.200
hope for many. King Charles will continue receiving cancer treatment

39
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:04.719
into twenty twenty five, according to official sources from Buckingham Palace,

40
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.879
who emphasized the encouraging progress of his care. While details

41
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:13.039
remain sparse due to UK privacy rules, the announcement underscores

42
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:16.240
the reality of charles ongoing health challenges and their impact

43
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:20.240
on the monarchy. The Daily Telegraph recently acknowledged the toll

44
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.319
charles illness has taken on royal dynamics, noting that Prince

45
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.039
William is grappling with the accelerated timeline of his eventual kingship.

46
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.439
Reflecting on this shift, the paper wrote that the cancer

47
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.879
has served as a stark awakening for William, who once

48
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.520
expected decades in his role as Prince of Wales. Reports

49
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.639
also suggest the King's health has altered the tone of

50
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.280
royal operations. According to The Times, charles illness has visibly

51
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.919
affected him both physically and mentally, yet he remains steadfast

52
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.520
in his public duties, even joking during a visit to

53
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:52.039
Samoa that he hoped to survive long enough for a

54
00:02:52.080 --> 00:02:55.280
return trip. Princess Michael of Kent is recovering from a

55
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:58.280
painful accident after reportedly breaking both her wrists in a

56
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.400
fall at Kensington Palace. Seventy nine year old royal, who

57
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.280
resides at the palace with her husband, Prince Michael of Kent,

58
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.479
attended King Charles's pre Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace on Thursday,

59
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:12.039
her wrists visibly in splints. According to gb News, the

60
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.400
princess was carrying an armful of coats when she fell

61
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.879
down the stairs, fracturing multiple small bones in her wrists

62
00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.879
as she instinctively put her hands out to break her fall.

63
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:24.280
Despite her injuries, the couple were seen arriving together for

64
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.759
the festive gathering on December nineteenth. Speaking to Majesty magazine,

65
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:32.599
Princess Michael described the challenges of her recovery, saying, so

66
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:34.719
many things that you rely on being able to do,

67
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.319
like cleaning your teeth, are impossible. I am told that

68
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:39.759
after an accident like this, if you do one wrong

69
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:42.360
movement on top of the unhealed bones, you are back

70
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.919
where you started. Here's wishing her a speedy and smooth recovery.

71
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:51.080
More Palace in a moment a reminder that premium subscribers

72
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.280

73
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.800
and on Sunday they get an extra episode from our

00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:59.919
insider Deep Crown. Details in the show notes the U

75
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.479
The Royal family is gearing up for a bumper Christmas

76
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.680
at Sandringham, with King Charles set to continue the late

77
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.840
Queen's tradition of hosting the festivities at the Norfolk estate.

78
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.879
Around forty family members are expected to attend, making it

79
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.279
one of the largest Royal Christmas gatherings in years, according

80
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.680
to insiders. Despite earlier speculation that William and Kate might

81
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:22.959
opt for a quieter celebration at their nearby home and

82
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.439
Mr Hall, sources have confirmed that the Prince and Princess

83
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:31.160
of Wales will join the Sandringham festivities with their children. Actually,

84
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.600
the plan is for them to albeit Sandringham for a

85
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:37.319
very special, big family Christmas, a royal source told Vanity Fair.

86
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.759
The King and Queen want their nearest and dearest with

87
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.439
them to celebrate. A source told Vanity Fair. The feeling

88
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:45.319
is they are over the shock and the worst of it,

89
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.120
and everyone is feeling very optimistic about twenty twenty five.

90
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:50.560
When I last saw him, he was looking amazing and

91
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.560
very excited about the family being together for the festive season.

92
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.560
As part of the Christmas tradition, the Royals are expected

93
00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:59.199
to conduct a public walk about after church on Christmas Day,

94
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:03.160
emphasizing family unity. Unless your name is Andrew, the event

95
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.800
will follow a formal black tied dinner on Christmas Eve,

96
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.439
where the family exchanges token gifts. As Prince Harry revealed

97
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.920
in Spare, a source tells Vanity Fair, Kate won't be

98
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:14.519
going back to work in the same way for a

99
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.920
long time. You can't go through something like that and

100
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.480
come out the other side unchanged. She is a different

101
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:22.439
person now. Another family friend added that while she's not

102
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.879
fully back to normal, there are encouraging signs of light.

103
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:29.560
At the end of the tunnel. Kate's wonderful pr machine

104
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.959
was up and running. Royal expert Jenny Bond tells Okay

105
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.600
Magazine after the year they've had, I'm sure it's going

106
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:37.120
to mean the world to the King and Queen to

107
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.240
have as many of their family as possible joining them

108
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.319
for Christmas. And as the number of youngsters increases, so

109
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.600
the celebrations become more and more child oriented, which is

110
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:48.800
exactly what Christmas should be all about. William Kate and

111
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.240
The children will reportedly make the most of their nearby

112
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.519
residence annm Hall, where Kate's parents may also spend part

113
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.079
of the festivities. I'm not sure Catherine would yet feel

114
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.079
up to hosting a huge crowd at the Hall, so

115
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.399
I imagine it would just be close family bond added. Meanwhile,

116
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:04.639
the Yorks are expected to stay at wood Farm, a

117
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:08.680
smaller residence on the estate. William's remarks regarding forty some

118
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.720
people coming to the holidays suggests the holiday will blend

119
00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.720
tradition with family bonding, including long walks with the dogs

120
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:19.160
across Sandringham's sprawling twenty thousand acre estate. However, the logistics

121
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:22.959
of seating nearly fifty royals have certainly sparked curiosity. One

122
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.399
guest at the Wilchair event, Leah Saint Clair Lewis, laughed,

123
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.360
they must need a very long table and the habit.
