Is Prince Harry's boredom a problem?

Show Notes
Transcript

Apparently sitting around Montecito gets boring after a while if you're not working on a Dog Biscuits and Jam company, a Netflix cooking show or a theoretical podcast in 2025.

Meanwhile, the King read the room and addressed the riots.

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.640
Calarogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I'm

2
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:16.440
Deep Crown filling in for Mark Francis today, who seems

3
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.160
to have come down with a hum little bug. So

4
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.760
King Charles obviously heard people complaining he hadn't addressed the riots.

5
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:28.399
Charles has praised the community spirit and compassion that have

6
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.479
emerged in response to the recent riots. According to Buckingham Palace.

7
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:36.759
A Palace spokesman conveyed the King's heartfelt thanks to the

8
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:39.920
police and emergency services for all they are doing to

9
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:42.840
restore peace in those areas that have been affected by

10
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:47.320
violent disorder. In his message, the King acknowledged the aggression

11
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:51.200
and criminality on display during the riots, but emphasized the

12
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.880
positive response from communities coming together. In a call for unity,

13
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.079
King Charles expressed his hope that the shared values of

14
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:03.119
mutual respect and understanding will continue to strengthen and unite

15
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.959
the nation. Royal expert Tom Quinn tells The Mirror Harry

16
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:10.319
is increasingly bored and looking back across the Atlantic, where

17
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:12.799
most of his army and school friends still live and

18
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.079
whom he never sees because they won't visit him in

19
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.680
the States because they find Megan difficult. They are finding

20
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:20.959
it difficult to get through the days and weeks of

21
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.159
not having much to do. Megan is hugely driven, but

22
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:26.519
she can hardly blame him for not being a commercial

23
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:28.719
whiz kid, as he has only ever been trained to

24
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:32.400
be a royal. Harry doesn't really have very much to

25
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.159
do on a day to day basis. After he's taken

26
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:37.799
the dog for a walk and may be gone for

27
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.719
a drive, he has nothing to do other than support Megan. Megan,

28
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:44.480
on the other hand, needs someone who has serious determination

29
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:47.920
to succeed in the world. This has led to huge tensions.

30
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.359
Royal expert Jenny Bond adds, I think we can say

31
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.159
that it must be tough for Harry to have lost

32
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.719
touch with virtually all his old circle of friends as

33
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.400
well as his family, but we must assume that he

34
00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:01.480
feels that sacrifices were for the life he now has

35
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.400
with the woman he loves and the children he adores.

36
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.319
Meghan Markel's launch of her Dog Biscuits and jam brand

37
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.680
American Riviera Orchard has encountered a significant hurdle due to

38
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:18.919
trademark issues. Reports indicate that the brand's trademark application submitted

39
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.280
four months ago has been flagged by the U S

40
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:25.400
Patents and Trademark's Office for irregularities that need to be corrected.

41
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.759
These irregularities reportedly involve the incorrect classification of certain products

42
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:35.080
such as yoga blankets, picnic baskets, and recipe books. The

43
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:38.280
Daily Mail reported that Meghan and Prince Harry's legal team

44
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.080
have been informed of the issues and that the fees

45
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:45.960
associated with these corrections could total around eleven thousand dollars. However,

46
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.479
The Daily Express has clarified that receiving notices of irregularity

47
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:54.240
and requests for clarifications is a standard part of the

48
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:59.719
international trademark filing process. All necessary fees have already been

49
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:04.319
paid and no further action is currently required from Megan's side.

50
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:07.599
While this setback has delayed the anticipated launch of ro,

51
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.360
it seems the situation is under control and the brand's

52
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.639
debut is still expected to proceed once the trademark issues

53
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.840
are resolved, which is good because we like reporting important

54
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:21.159
royal news such as Megan releasing a new picnic basket.

55
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.919
Prince William is reportedly furious that his brother Harry is

56
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.120
set to receive a significant sum of money in the

57
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:31.639
coming weeks. Sources claim that Harry is poised to inherit

58
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.599
seven million pounds from a trust set up by their

59
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.000
great great grandmother, the Queen Mother, upon turning forty on

60
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:42.120
September fifteenth. Unlike William, who benefits from the Duchy of

61
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.080
Cornwall wealth, Harry will receive a larger share of this inheritance.

62
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.199
A source told Closer, William's pretty disgusted that once again

63
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.759
Harry's going to be cashing out and taking millions back

64
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:55.400
to his Montecito home without lifting a finger for it.

65
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.680
There's nothing he can do about it, aside from shaking

66
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.280
his head. But if it were up to him, Harry

67
00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.240
would not be getting this payday. William doesn't think his

68
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:07.000
brother is in any position to be getting this hand out,

69
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:09.039
and he's letting it be known that he thinks it's

70
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:13.039
a pretty rotten situation. The idea that Harry's now cashing

71
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.600
in on his great granny's inheritance leaves a very bitter

72
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:21.199
taste in William and Kate's mouths. According to Closer, William

73
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.480
believes that the inheritance essentially rewards Harry despite the terrible

74
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:28.160
treatment he's shown them all, and that it is just

75
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:32.560
wrong on so many levels. Some speculate the Queen Mother

76
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.519
might have excluded Harry from the trust had she known

77
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:40.399
the future discord he would cause within the family. Prince

78
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.519
William's relationship with Queen Camilla has evolved significantly over the years.

79
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:49.160
According to royal expert Hillary Fordwitch, Initially, William had a

80
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.600
difficult time accepting Camilla, partly due to the painful and

81
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:56.480
public breakdown of his parents marriage. Fordwich revealed to Fox

82
00:04:56.519 --> 00:05:00.160
News Digital that William couldn't stand Camilla at first, but

83
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.759
has since come to appreciate her dedication to duty. Their

84
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.480
bond has strengthened, particularly as they both supported their spouses

85
00:05:07.519 --> 00:05:12.079
through cancer treatments. Fordwich explained that Camilla has a calming

86
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.519
influence on King Charles, a trait that William has come

87
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:20.199
to value. However, according to Robert Jobson's book Catherine, Princess

88
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:23.319
of Wales, Camilla has occasionally had to remind William of

89
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.040
the royal hierarchy. For instance, there was an incident where

90
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.680
William and Kate delayed Charles and Camilla, prompting Camilla to

91
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.920
insist that they leave without them, subtly reinforcing the importance

92
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.879
of punctuality. And respect within the royal family more in

93
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:45.639
a moment. A woman who ordered copper wire from eBay

94
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:48.959
was shocked to receive her parcel adorned with six collectible

95
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.439
Princess Diana memorial stamps from nineteen ninety eight, each originally

96
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.399
valued at twenty six p with the current cost of

97
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.959
a first class stamp in the UK being one pound

98
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.759
thirty five pence, the use of these older stamps was

99
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.680
both unexpected and intriguing. The woman shared a photo of

100
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.639
the parcel on Reddit, where others quickly chimed in with

101
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.839
similar experiences from the same cellar. Another buyer reported receiving

102
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.079
a package covered in historical train stamps from the seventies

103
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:20.959
and eighties. The Express dusted off a traditional Kate's Wonderful

104
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:25.360
article with the added common relatable spin. They write, Royals,

105
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.199
They're just like us, Kate. The Princess of Wales particularly

106
00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:32.360
has shown she isn't afraid to travel like the rest

107
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.600
of us. Last year, the Princess forty two was spotted

108
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.560
taking an economy flight to Scotland with two of her children,

109
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:43.199
while Prince William traveled with Prince George. A witness to

110
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:47.720
such relatable behavior reported and yes, She was stunning, even

111
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.040
gave me a smile while looking back at the row

112
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.199
behind her to talk to her son. So, if you're

113
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.240
ever sitting in thirty two F and you think you

114
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:58.399
recognize the woman in the middle seat, it's probably Kate.

115
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:01.839
And there you have it. Mark will be back tomorrow.

116
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.839
Maybe I'm deep crown my thanks to John McDermott. This

117
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:08.759
is pallace, intrigue and good times.

Is Prince Harry's boredom a problem?
