00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:09.279
Calorogus Shark Media. In today's news, Kate is back to

2
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:11.480
work whilst she head to the States to brok her

3
00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:14.759
a piece between the brothers, plus Megan is upset about

4
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:20.519
the divorce rumors. Hello, and welcome to Pallace intrig Game.

5
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:24.359
I'm your host, Mark Francis, William and Kate joined faith leaders,

6
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.839
Holocaust survivors, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer to honor the

7
00:00:27.879 --> 00:00:30.800
memory of the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust.

8
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.920
The couple lit candles during the service, and William delivered

9
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:36.359
a poignant speech reflecting on the enduring lessons of that

10
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.399
dark chapter in history. The Whales has opened up about

11
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.560
the meaningful discussions they're beginning to have with Prince George

12
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:46.679
as he grows older, particularly about the Holocaust and its

13
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:50.719
historical significance. William remarked, George is getting to the age

14
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.479
where he's starting to understand things, so it's getting interesting

15
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.479
to talk to him about what happened. Apologizing for not

16
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.200
being able to spend more time with the survivors, he added,

17
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:01.200
there is a lot of history at this table. We

18
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.599
need to hear it all. The day was particularly emotional

19
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.920
for Kate, who reunited with Yvonne Bernstein and Stephen Frank,

20
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.480
Holocaust survivors she photographed five years ago as part of

21
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:16.000
a Holocaust remembrance project. Greeting Yvonne, Kate expressed her joy,

22
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:18.359
saying it's so nice to see you, and held her

23
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.519
hand as they caught up. Yvonne, now eighty seven, thanked

24
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.359
the princess for her visit, while Kate emphasized with her

25
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.439
health struggles, saying You've had such a hard time, haven't you.

26
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.120
In a speech, William said, I am honored to join

27
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:33.599
you today to mark Holocaust Memorial Day and to remember

28
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.200
the millions murdered during the Holocaust and in subsequent genocides.

29
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.519
We also remember those survivors who have lived with the scars,

30
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.640
both mental and physical. Their bravery and sharing with us

31
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:46.799
the most harrowing moments of their lives are extremely powerful

32
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.400
and ensure that we never forget. I assure them we

33
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.799
never will. Kate is reportedly exploring the possibility of meeting

34
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:56.680
with Prince Harry during a potential visit to the United

35
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.640
States in a bid to hell the long standing rift

36
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.640
between the royal brothers. According to a source quoted by

37
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.560
The Mirror, Kate has always been a peacemaker and still

38
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:07.920
holds out hope that Harry can be brought back into

39
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.280
the fold. The source shared, she knows how much this

40
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.960
division is hurting William and the King, and she feels

41
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.879
a responsibility to try and bring some resolution. It's unclear

42
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.439
if Harry would be open to such a meeting. A

43
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:24.120
source tells Okay that Meghan is bothered by the rumors

44
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.800
of the divorce book. The source said, Megan knows that

45
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.560
the rumors always make their fans worry about a split,

46
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:33.520
and she doesn't like that sort of negativity being spread.

47
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.639
Megan was devastated when she saw all of those reports

48
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.800
about a post divorce book coming out. She knows there's

49
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:41.599
no truth to them, and it's just upsetting for her

50
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:45.120
to constantly have this negativity around them. She's getting really

51
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.800
sick and tired of all the split rumors. Everywhere she

52
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:49.879
looks and reads, there is something about her and Harry

53
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.439
breaking up. Interestingly, Meghan will now join Harry at the

54
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.879
Invictus Games, which was originally planned to be Harry only.

55
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.439
Meghan's decision comes after pr firms freegate strategies led by

56
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:05.000
their former head of communications, Ashley Hansen took charge of

57
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.840
their public image earlier this month. There will be a

58
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.159
renewed focus on the Sussexes as a couple, as a

59
00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.919
brand and showcasing them as a couple and family. A

60
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.639
source explained the updated strategy shifts away from their full

61
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.919
strategy of solo engagements and prioritizes joint appearances to strengthen

62
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.800
their image. The twoke and duchess are set to attend

63
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.879
the game's opening ceremony at Vancouver's BC Plays on February eighth.

64
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:31.280
Performers at the opening event will include Katie Perry, Grammy

65
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:36.120
nominated Noah Kahan, and Canadian singer Nellie Frittado. The game's

66
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:39.599
closing ceremony, scheduled for February sixteenth at Roger's Arena, will

67
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:42.360
be an adult only event, allowing officials and participants to

68
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:46.039
relax after nine days of competition. A source highlighted the

69
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:49.319
significance of their joint presence, noting it was important for

70
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.000
the Sussexes to appear together at such a worthwhile event.

71
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.439
The Invictors Games is a Sussex initiative and something they

72
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.800
want their children to continue once they get older. In

73
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.479
addition to their Invictors commitments. The couple is planning a

74
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.599
fundraiser for victims of the recent wildfires in Los Angeles,

75
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:07.280
which we are confident will be well thought out and

76
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.159
warmly received by the media. Tell Us Intrica a rabbe.

77
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:19.040
Harry is in exile. He chose it, said royal expert

78
00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.240
Richard Fitzwilliams to Fox News. It's lonely and he will

79
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.079
undoubtedly miss his friends and family. There is no sign

80
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.879
whatsoever of the reft in the royal family healing. King

81
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:29.959
Charles and the Prince and Princess of Wales, to put

82
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:34.600
it mildly, have other priorities. Fitz Williams also speculated on

83
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.920
the power dynamics in Harry's marriage, saying I think Megan

84
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.279
is undoubtedly the dominant person in their relationship. I don't

85
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.839
doubt he wishes that they had managed to arrange a

86
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:47.079
half in half out arrangement with the Royal family, especially

87
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.879
as his military links meant so much to him. Another

88
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.959
royal commentator, Helena Chard, was less sympathetic about Harry's position,

89
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.560
stating there is no way back for the Duke after

90
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:01.000
his public airing of grievances. Chard said a self assured

91
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.079
self titled Angry Prince Harry thought it was completely okay

92
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:07.639
to publicly verbally annihilate his family. It is said he

93
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.199
was naive and didn't realize it would upset his family.

94
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.839
He didn't realize that his actions would cause such a

95
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:17.199
fallout with his family and the public. Meanwhile, Prince Harry

96
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.879
has issued a heartfelt appeal from his Montecito home, urging

97
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:24.000
the public to nominate extraordinary children and young people with

98
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:27.000
the complex medical needs for the twenty twenty five well

99
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:30.079
Child Awards. In a video message, the Duke of Sussex

100
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.240
called for the recognition of remarkable stories of strength, resilience

101
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:37.680
and courage, encouraging people to spotlight the exceptional individuals who

102
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.800
inspire you every single day. Harry has been a dedicated

103
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.439
patron of the well Child charity for over fifteen years.

104
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.120
His message, recorded at his California mansion, marks his first

105
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:52.240
public statement since California's devastating wildfires and his recent legal

106
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:56.319
victory against the Sun over allegations of unlawful information gathering.

107
00:05:56.720 --> 00:06:00.319
The annual well Child Awards celebrates the bravery of curiously

108
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:03.199
ill children in the UK and the caregivers and professionals

109
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.439
who support them. This year holds special significance as the

110
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:11.040
charity marks its twentieth awards ceremony. The well Child Awards

111
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:13.360
allows us to shine light on this incredible resilience and

112
00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.199
compassion of this community. How he said in a message,

113
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.360
it's a true privilege to honor their bravery. Your support

114
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.600
can make all the difference. And there you have it.
