0:03 Calorogus Shark Media now low and welcome through Palace Intrigue. I am your host marnk Francis. Kate Middleton is said to remain affected by long running rumors alleging an affair between Prince William and Rose Hanbury. An unnamed insider told radar Online that the rumors had a lasting emotional impact on Kate. When the rumors first began circulating, Kate was deeply shaken and emotionally blindsided. The source said they undermined her confidence in the life she thought was stable and secure, and the hurt they caused left a lasting imprint that has never fully faded. They were forced to confront one of the most challenging chapters of their relationship and put in serious effort to move forward. The insider said. While their marriage still has moments of strain, both are committed to holding the family unit together and weathering difficulties rather than walking away. In twenty nineteen, Kate was very clear that Rose needed to be removed from her personal and social sphere, and she is now demanding that again. Whatever cordial relationship may have existed came to an immediate halt.

1:08 The speculation left Kate feeling exposed and embarrassed, and she was determined to put as much a space as possible between herself and anything that might revive those damaging narratives. Anytime Rose surfaces at an event connected to the royal world, it reopens old emotional wounds. For Kate. What once seemed like a harmless friendship is now colored entirely by the rumors, and the public speculation was deeply humiliating for her. Even now, the memory of it remains painful. Prince William has long chosen not to wear a wedding ring, a decision that Pallace sources have previously described as a matter of personal preference. According to Pallace sources, the reason is straightforward. He is said to be not one for jewelry. It is also believed that William never received a wedding ring on the couple's wedding day. The Mirror previously reported that wearing a ring was never a preference of his. A Pallace insider explained the decision in twenty eleven, saying he's not one for jewelry, He's never worn any. He decided he didn't want to wear one. Now it's all down to personal preference.

2:07 Catherine will wear a ring fashion from a lump of Welsh gold owned by the Royal family that has been smelted down. The couple have both had a hand in the design. William is understood to have followed the example set by his grandfather, the late Prince Philip, who did not wear a wedding ring, as well as Andrew mount Batton Windsor, who may not be the best role model. William has become patron of the Onwards expedition, which will see Max Worsley ski one thy four hundred kilometers across Antarctica to the geographic South Pole in sixty days. Max Worsley is the son of the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry Worsley, an Army officer and polar explorer who died in twenty sixteen while attempting his third expedition to complete the first solo unsupported crossing of Antarctica. William was patron of Henry Worsley's second and third expeditions and attended his funeral. Between two thousand and eight and two thousand and nine, Henry Worsley led an expedition retracing Sir Ernest Shackleton's route from the Nimrod expedition. In twenty eleven, he led a team racing to the South Pole, following the paths taken by Road Amanson and Robert falcon Scott. This November, on the tenth anniversary of his father's death, Maxwell set out with Norwegian adventurer Martin Nice, skiing unsupported from the edge of the continent to the South Pole. The journey will involve temperatures as low as minus forty degrees celsius hurricane force wins in a climb of two eight hundred meters above sea level. Max will follow the same route as father skied on on his final expedition. Announcing his new role,

3:37 the Prince of Wales said he was proud and delighted to support the expedition. He said, I was immensely proud to have supported his father, Henry, and it is deeply moving to see Max skiing the same root ten years on, demonstrating the same courage, determination and sense of purpose that defined his father's life. This expedition is not only a powerful tribute to Henry's legacy, but also a reminder of Antarctica's vital importance to the health of it planet. Using this challenge to inspire young people to connect with nature and understand the role they play in protecting it is something they greatly admire and I wish Max and Martin every success as they prepare for this remarkable endeavor. Max Worsley said, it is a great honour to have the Prince of Wales as patron for my Antarctic project, the Onwards Expedition, after the support he so kindly gave my father for his final expedition. While this journey is inspired by the great explorers of the past, Mine and Martin's focus is firmly on the future. We want to use this expedition as a platform to raise awareness of Antarctica, a place that has a vital role in the health of our planet and affects all of us no matter where we live. We also want to help and encourage young people to connect with nature, giving them opportunities to get outdoors and become curious and confident in wild places.

Well Palace it just a moment as he prepares to leave Royal Lodge in Windsor. Andrew Baton Windsor has made a discreet visit to the Sandringham estate to view his future home while renovation work continues. The former Duke of York traveled to Sandringham last week to see Marsh Farm, the five bedroom farmhouse on the royal estate that is undergoing upgrades. The property has been fitted with additional security, including six foot fencing, and the police have been seen patrolling the area during the works. A friend of Andrew's told the son it was the first time he's seen his new house and he has resigned to the fact that this is his future.

5:33 He's come to the conclusion that he has to get on with the rest of his life and accept he has to make the best of it. Last Tuesday, Andrew was spotted driving himself from Windsor at around nine in the morning in one of his Range Rivers, before arriving at Sandringham shortly after midday. It is believed he entered the estate using a rear farm track rather than the main entrance. One onlooker said several black Range Rovers were seen traveling from Wood Farm towards Marsh Farm. Reports suggest Andrew will stay neighboring Wood Farm Cottage until renovations to Marsh Farm are completed. It is also understood that the no fly zone surrounding the Sandringham estate has been expanded to cover Marsh Farm, despite the property being located roughly seven miles from Sandringham House itself. The plan is for Andrew to fully vacate Royal Lodge before his birthday on February nineteenth, at which point the keys will be handed back to his brother, King Charles. A new social media post by a cousin of Prince William and Prince Harry has reignited speculation about a rift within the Spencer family.

6:32 Lady Eliza Spencer, the niece of Princess Diana. She had photographs from her engagement party in Cape Town, offering a glimpse into an intimate family celebration ahead of her wedding to businessman Channing Millard. The images posted on Instagram showed Lady Eliza alongside her sister's Lady Emilia Spencer and Lady Kitty Spencer, as well as their mother, former model Victoria Aiken. The family appeared relaxed and smiling throughout the event. Noticeably absent from the gathering was Lady Eliza's father, Charles Spencer, the detail that did not go unnoticed by followers. Lady Eliza captioned the post the people we love most, a line some interpreted as a pointed mission observer's work, quick to note that Charles Spencer also did not attend the weddings of his daughters Kitty and Emilia in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty three. Fans raised questions in the comments section, with one user writing where is Charles Spencer?

7:26 Another commenter praised the family dynamic, describing Victoria Akinnus having created a loving and beautiful family. Congratulations to Andrew Green Casey, who has been named among the most influential figures in the legal profession following his role in our landmark case involving Prince Harry. Green, a barrister at Blackstone Chambers, has been included in The Lawyer Magazine's Hot one hundred twenty twenty six list, which recognizes lawyers judged to have made a significant impact on the sector over the past year. He made legal history in twenty twenty three when he became the first barrister in more than one hundred and thirty years to cross examine a member of the royal family. Green questioned Prince Harry during the Mirrit Group newspaper's phone hacking trial. The previous occasion dated back to eighteen ninety one, when Sir Edward Clark Cross examined the then Prince of Wales who later became King Edward the Seventh. And there you have it.
