Show Notes
Transcript

Kate is back.

Buckingham Palace announced the Princess of Wales is set to join the Royal Family in honoring Remembrance events this weekend,

Kate will attend the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, alongside other senior royals, and will also participate in the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday. This news comes after Kate recently completed chemotherapy following her cancer diagnosis, demonstrating her commitment to supporting the armed forces and those who have served.

Meanwhile, Queen Camilla’s attendance at these events remains uncertain as she recovers from a chest infection. The Palace confirmed that Camilla’s participation will depend on medical guidance in the days ahead, after she had to withdraw from engagements earlier this week due to her illness.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.679
Calorouga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I

2
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:17.039
am your host, Mark Francis Keate is back. Buckingham Palace

3
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.000
announced the Princess of Wales is set to join the

4
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:24.160
Royal family in honoring remembrance events this weekend. Cap will

5
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.679
attend the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in Whitehall

6
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.120
alongside other senior royals, and will also participate in the

7
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.359
Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday.

8
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.359
This news comes after Kate recently completed chemotherapy following her

9
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.359
cancer diagnosis, demonstrating her commitment to supporting the armed forces

10
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.759
and those who have served. Meanwhile, Queen Camilla's attendance at

11
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:48.880
these events remains uncertain that she recovers from a chest infection.

12
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:53.079
The Palace confirmed that Camilla's participation will depend on medical

13
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.000
guidance in the days ahead, after she had to withdraw

14
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:00.000
from engagements earlier this week due to her illness. Perhaps

15
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.600
Kate was motivated to come back after hearing William Is

16
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.840
hanging out with supermodels. Don't get your gossip column printing

17
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:07.920
just yet. It was all in an effort to save

18
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.480
the planet. William joined supermodels Heidi Klum and Winnie Harlow,

19
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.400
along with other Earthshot Prize presenters for a traditional South

20
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.000
African event in Cape Town's Cork Bay, a day after

21
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.000
his Earthshot Prize awards. Reflecting on the event's success, William shared,

22
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.040
I woke up this morning feeling quite emotional and excited,

23
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.359
to which Winnie responded it was an honor. Arriving by

24
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.439
a boat at the picturesque Fishing Village, William met Abolobe

25
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.040
co founder Surge Raymakers, and local fishermen and fisher women

26
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:41.920
involved in Abelobi monitoring program. Holding a yellowtail fish, William

27
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.560
praise their efforts. You're the trailblazers, You're the leaders. He

28
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.040
then joined the team as they barbecued fish with a

29
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.640
guitarist playing nearby, and exchanged greetings with local swimmers calling

30
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.640
out to him. While William was welcomed by Churing fans,

31
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.040
a small group of protesters voiced their objections. One protester

32
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.200
held a banner reading William, you have no sovereignty here,

33
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.920
while the others shouted you are welcome, we love you.

34
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:09.800
Independent fishermen Dwayne Bals, kept behind a barrier expressed frustration

35
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.360
of being excluded from the events, saying we are here

36
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.919
in the rain that storms. They have excluded us. William

37
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.800
has not come to look at our fish. As William

38
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.800
sat to enjoy the fish, Heidiklom reflected on his warm demeanor,

39
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.840
saying he has been so amazing, so welcoming of all

40
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.439
of us, and quite normal in a way. Winnie Harlowe

41
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.240
was reminded of Princess Diana, saying being with him really

42
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.240
felt like an extension of her. It really was a

43
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.840
beautiful moment to see him following in her footsteps. Meanwhile,

44
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.159
Harry and Meghan have made their first public appearance together

45
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.360
in months. The couple appeared side by side in a

46
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.360
video message they recorded for a United Nations conference in

47
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.719
Columbia focused on ending violence against children. In the clip,

48
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.439
believed to be filmed in Montecito, Megan is seen with

49
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.280
her hair draped over her shoulders dressed in a navy jacket,

50
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.759
while Harry appears in a shirt and jacket. Both are

51
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.840
wearing poppies on their jackets and nod to remembrance Sunday.

52
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.039
This marks the couple's first public apearance together since they're

53
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.840
widely publicized tour of Columbia in August, Meghan said, my

54
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.759
husband and I recognize today's reality is marked by greater

55
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.080
connectivity in advanced technology, which of course has many positives,

56
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.360
but which also compels us to better understand how digital

57
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.560
violence against children is manifesting itself in this age, As

58
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.680
you think to yourself, that's nice that Harry and Meghan

59
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.080
remembered those who died in the line of duty. Remember

60
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:26.800
this is Harry and Meghan we're talking about, So of

61
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.759
course there was a controversy of sorts, but only if

62
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:33.000
you're trying to stir things up. Royal fans noticed Megan's

63
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.159
poppy looked different from Harry's. Meghan's poppy, with a black

64
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.360
center and no leaf, stood out from Harry's more traditional

65
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.960
UK version. One viewer on X noted Harry is wearing

66
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.280
a British poppy, but I don't think Megan is, while

67
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.360
another pointed out there is no leaf on Meghan's poppy.

68
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.680
Remain calm. This style is similar to poppies worn by

69
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.639
Queen Camilla and Princess Kate in twenty twenty two, as

70
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.719
well as the Canadian poppy, which typically features four petals

71
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.120
and no leaf. Historically, the Royal brigsih legions and original

72
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.159
poppy design also lacked a leaf, which was added in

73
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:08.199
the sixties and became widely available in nineteen ninety five.

74
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.319
Another social media user was less understanding, posting Harry doesn't

75
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.199
get the First Amendment and thinks it's bonkers here they

76
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.240
are both wearing poppies, a symbol of remembrance for our

77
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.480
brave soldiers who gave They're all fighting for our freedom.

78
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.759
Total hypocritical frauds. You couldn't make it up. Harry served

79
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.800
two tours in Afghanistan, the first from two thousand and

80
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:30.680
seven to two thousand and eight and the second from

81
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.120
twenty twelve to thirteen. He remains involved with the military

82
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.839
as the founder of the Invictor Schemes, the Paralympic style

83
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:41.959
competition for wounded service members, and wore a poppy were

84
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:49.240
palacing just a moment. Royal biographer Robert Hartman appeared on

85
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.600
Loose Women recently to discuss his new book, Charles, the

86
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:56.000
Third New King, New Court, The Inside Story, and gave

87
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.279
us an update on the monarchy's adjustments under King Charles

88
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.639
and explained that Charles has introduced subtle chiffs here and

89
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.120
there all sorts of little things change. One major shift

90
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.439
he highlighted is the King's approach to hosting events at

91
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.959
the palace. According to Hardman, if you go to a

92
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.680
palace party now, it's quite interesting. In the old days

93
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.639
that was sort of a formality to them. There was

94
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.079
always a greeting line where people are expected to stand

95
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.279
in particular groups, and the Queen would come to them,

96
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.639
and the King said fairly early on, well, look they've

97
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.199
come to see me, but they've also come to see

98
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.439
each other, so let's make it sort of a party.

99
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.000
Hardman noted that while Charles was sidelined earlier in the

100
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.759
year by a cancer diagnosis, other senior royals stepped forward

101
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.240
to take up the slack, ensuring royal duties continued. The

102
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.079
Royal machine carries on as it does. It's a case

103
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:45.480
of keep calm, carry on. Possible form at sex bomb.

104
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.639
Princess Anne has been stepping out this autumn knee high boots,

105
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.920
alternating between Sheik black and a country inspired brown pair

106
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.240
with tassels, but recently she swapped her signature boots for

107
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.160
a stylish pair of Royal blue velvet loafers. During a

108
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.000
visit to the Royal Regiment of Scotland at Edinburgh Castle.

109
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.079
The loafers, which have charming toe detail, perfectly complimented her

110
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.680
vintage tailored skirt suit, last worn in nineteen eighty four

111
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.480
with a jazzy silk scarf peeking out Princess and improved

112
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:16.199
once again that she can rock both timeless and comfortable styles.

113
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.439
Hello Magazine pointed out the former possible sex bomb isn't

114
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.879
the only royal embracing velvet footwear. Prince William famously wore

115
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.199
black velvet loafers embroidered with F eighteen aircrafts for the

116
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.240
Top Gun Maverick premiere in twenty twenty two, adding a

117
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.800
matching velvet jacket to the mix, and he hangs out

118
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.720
with supermodels. Princess Beatrice has also embraced the trend, wearing

119
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.439
block healed velvet shoes with a matching headband during a

120
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.040
festive outing in twenty twenty one. Even Sarah Ferguson made

121
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.040
a statement with her own cheeky velvet loafers, which bore

122
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.519
the family's unofficial motto never complain on one foot and

123
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.160
never explain on the other. We are unaware of Megan

124
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.800
ever wearing velvet, which potentially could be part of a

125
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.720
defiant act to distance herself from the monarchy. Something like that.

126
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.040
Wait until a slow news day and they have it.

127
