Is Meghan Markle about to tell us all off?

0:03 Calorogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue Game. I'm your host, Mark Ranserson and Insider tells Closer. Megan feels like it's time to get fully involved with her husband's family drama on a public level. She already feels like Harry is being unfairly portrayed as bitter following his interview, and wants to do her own tell all to back up his claims about their lack of security. Megan doesn't feel the public truly understands and wants to give examples of times when her safety has been put at risk. She is willing to speak about some of the darker aspects of their life. Megan wants to speak out in detail about the Cold War she and Harry have endured.

0:46 Just because the Royals have stayed silent, it doesn't necessarily mean that they haven't been contributing to this bitter family rift. Up until now, she has felt it best to try to keep positive, but after seeing Harry wear his heart on his sleeve, she feels she should more aligned with her husband. She realizes that she's been harping on about their happy life, but the truth is Harry is clearly very angry about this situation. Harry had hopes of being closer to his family and building bridges, but Meghan's not keen and has told him I want out. It's back to the drawing board. Of course. Meghan has strong connections with Oprah Winfrey and Gail King, both of whom would jump at the chance to give her another platform to speak. Meghan wants to stand up for her man. She wants to remind the world that at the core of it all, they are two humans who have been unfairly treated from the very beginning of their love story. We encourage Meghan to go on Oprah. We'll just ask that she not doing it on a daylight Trooping the Colour or Megan Podcast Tuesday, when we have other things to talk about.

1:42 Spread the stuff out, please megs. We're learning that the Royals were given a very brief heads up before Harry's recent BBC interview. Hello Magazine's Royal editor Emily Nash reveals there was a very brief awareness raising at the palace shortly before it was broadcast. What I understand is that there were potentially discussions might have happened as a result of the case. Now having been concluded. PR expert David Yellen pointed out some mistakes Harry made during the interview. You never go into an interview hot with your blood up. You have to be cool, and he wasn't cool. You can see it in his body language and what he said. The second mistake was that Harry was not prepared because he thought he was going to win. And then the third mistake, which he made, probably because he was angry and he did expect to win, is that he volunteered what has become an uncontrollable global news story. The interview didn't need to be like this. It could have been so much better, or maybe it didn't need to happen at all. Now, the central tenet of PR is often timing when you choose to do things, and secondly, how you choose to do them. There was probably someone advising Harry to go on the offensive straight away after the decision.

2:45 The difficult messages about his perceived mistreatment were communicated very directly. To put it mildly, perhaps he should have delivered some of his messages so much more elegantly. As you say that reference to how much longer the king has got a less confrontational tone might have garnered more sympathy. Harry has been accused of the mother of all f ups. Harry was filmed on a doorbell camera appearing to ring the bell of a home in West London, just hours after his legal team argued in the Court of Appeal that his life would be at risk without UK police protection. In court, his barrister had warned that his safety is at stake, but the unexpected sight of the Duke seemingly alone on the street has prompted charp words from those familiar with the world of closed protection. If he was without a bodyguard, that is the mother of all f ups, a security source told Mail Online, pointing to the contradiction between legal arguments about his security needs in the apparent solo appearance. The Mail on Sunday later reported that Harry was likely trying to visit old acquaintances John and Georgina Vaughan.

3:46 Unbeknownst to the Prince, the Vaughans had long since moved house. Former undercover officer and Scotland Yard detective Peter Blaxley was cantid in his analysis. I've supplied security to high net worth individuals in the private sector, so I've protected people to him, and for him to be able to go walk about down on London Street without a security detail will have been his decision and his alone. It remains uncertain whether Harry was entirely without protection or if his current private bodyguard, former met officer David Langdowne, was merely off camera at the time the footage was taken. A new book is reigniting discussion over the now infamous bride'smaid dress dispute between Megan and Kate, offering a revised version of the events that reportedly left both women in tears.

4:30 In Yes Ma'am, The Secret Life of Royal Servants, Royal author Tom Quinn presents claims from a former staff member who alleges that during the lead up to Prince Harry Megan's twenty eighteen wedding, both Catherine and Meghan were crying their eyes out following an emotional exchange about Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid dress. The truth is that during the discussions about the bridesmaid's dress, Meghan said a few things she regretted, and Kate said a few things she later regretted, but it was all in the heat of the moment. The unnamed source told Quinn. They added that the episode was laid, subtly altered and made more significant than it really was. This version notably contrasts with the narrative Meghan herself offered during her twenty twenty one interview with Oprah. Then, she insisted it was she, not Kate, who was left in tears.

5:13 It wasn't a confrontation, Megan told Oprah. I don't think it's fair to get her into the details of that because she apologized. Meghan said that Kate had been upset about something related to the dresses. They had bought flowers and took responsibility. What was hard to get over was being blamed for something that not only I didn't do, but that happened to me. Prince Harry's memoir Spare provided further detail. He wrote, the tensions flared when Kate messaged Meghan about Princess Charlotte's dress being too big, too long, too baggy. Meghan, according to Harry, suggested Charlotte be taken to a tailor who was on stand by a Kensington palace. The situation reportedly escalated to the point that Harry returned home to find Meghan sobbing on the floor Palace Intrigue will be right back and Meghan have made significant changes to their senior team. According to the Telegraph, Meghan has hired her first chief of staff, Sarah Fosmo, a seasoned executive who previously worked for Bill Gates Private office Gates Ventures.

6:13 Miss Fosmo also spent seven years with American motivational speaker Tony Robbins as a senior executive assistant. Prince Harry meanwhile has promoted Leanne cash And, formerly Archwall's head of operations, to the role of senior consultant. Miss Cashon joined Archwell Productions early in its development, is said to have steadily risen through the ranks. Prior to joining the Sussex team, she also worked as a personal assistant to Olympic snowboarder Sean White. A source close to the couple praised both appointments, saying Sarah and Leanne exemplify the strength and vision driving the Duke and Duchess forward. Sarah Proud senior hire as chief of staff for the Duchess of Sussex brings a wealth of experience perfectly suited to guide the Sussex's ambitious ventures, including a new business podcast and television project, which is exactly the way a Norse person speaks. As for Ms Cashn, the source simply noted her deep operational insight for key projects.

7:08 Thomas Mikel, the estranged father of Megan, is now living in the Philippines, adapting to what he himself calls a quieter, friendlier existence, though the climate may be anything but gentle. At eighty years old and having suffered two heart attacks and a stroke in recent years, mister Mirkle has relocated to Sibu, where temperatures this week reached thirty three degrees celsius and humidity hoverd near ninety percent. A source described the new setting as brutal, even for men half his age, adding it's still sad to see him looking as though he's struggling. Photographs showed mister Mirkle sitting alone in the spoltering heat outside a local supermarket. He is now being cared for by his son and Megan's half brother, Thomas Mikel Junior, aged fifty eight. The two recently moved from a nearby a three star hotel into a flat tist off one of Sibu's busiest seven lane roads. Despite its modest surroundings. The apartment block is sidered upscale by local standards in a city where more than nine hundred thousand people lived below the poverty line. A source close to the family said Thomas and his son only recently moved into the property and they are still finding their feet in Cebu after the big move abroad. But they're here together and are firmly supporting each other. Mister Mirkle spoke earlier this year about the motivation behind his move. I traveled in that part of the world when I was a younger man. The people are so kind and welcoming, and they are respectful to older people. It is a place of culture and beauty, he said. At eighty, it is time to go somewhere where the people are lovely and they can enjoy a quieter, friendlier existence. In Southeast Asia, the medical care is good, you can live reasonably cheaply,

8:40 the people are kind and respect older people, and the food is healthy. Mostly, I just want peace. At eighty, none of us know how long we have left. I want whatever time I have to be peaceful with none of the awful drama of recent years. Reflecting on the fractured family relationships, mister Mirkle added, I'm a grandfather and he is King of England, but he too is eight grand who would like to see his grandkids and are there you have it.
