0:03 Calarogu Shark Media and Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue Game. Her host Mark francis unlike Meghan Marghle, who we would assume is terrible at christening ships and would make it all about herself. People reports Kate Middleton aces the assignment with nautical outfit at ship christening with Prince William. That's right, the wonderful Princess of Wales was able to wear a hat, walk in heels and push a button on Thursday and deserves all the credit in the world for acing the assignment. People writes Kate Middleton knew just what to wear for a nautical outing in Scotland with Prince William. Princess Kate, it's the sponsor of the warship and had the honor of smashing a bottle of whiskey against its hull, dressing the part for the job. The Princess of Wales made an elegant statement in a long sleeved navy coat dress with white piping from Susannah London, a new addition to her royal closet. A simple coat dress is crafted from a Italian lightweight will crape and is also available in two other colours Loop and Blue and Cosmetic Pink. Appointed sponsor of the ship back in June twenty twenty one.
1:09 The Princess has maintained an active interest in the project, including welcoming HMS Glasgow sailors to Windsor Castle in twenty twenty two. In a nod to royal tradition, Kate christened the ship by releasing a bottle of whiskey against its hull. It's a ceremonial gesture she has mastered. Her very first royal engagement with Prince William in twenty eleven, involved pouring champagne on a lifeboat in Wales. After the naming ceremony, their Royal Highnesses bordered the vessel to meet with representatives from BAE Systems and the Royal Navy, discussing the ship's capabilities and mission. They also toured the BAE Systems Shipbuilding Academy, engaging with apprentices and recent graduates whose training in fields such as fabrication, welding and pipefooting brought HMS Glasgow to life.
1:52 To conclude the day, William and Kate met with the shipbuilders and the HMS Glasgow's ship's company, along with their families, The visit was both a celebration of British maritime industry in a recognition of the dedication and sacrifice of those who serve. Kate may not be up for the Earthshop Prize. After taking a private jet to Scotland, Princess Catherine was photographed a disembarking from a private jet at Glasgow Airport. Waiting on the tarmac was her husband, who opened the car door for his wife as the pair reunited. Ahead of the official naming ceremony, the Princess grew up solo, as Prince William had been undertaking engagements in Edinburgh the day prior, including a visit to a community center in Leith. The quickest train from London to Glasgow is four and a half hours. A private jet from London to Glasgow typically takes just over an hour around sixty two seventy five minutes in the air. But while the journey is swift, the environmental impact is far from light. A typical private jet on this route to something in the range of a Cessna's Citation or a Bombardier lear jet, burns between eight hundred and twelve hundred liters of fuel that translates to approximately two to three tons of carbon dioxide emissions for a single one way trip. To put that in perspective, a commercial flight on the same route amidst around one hundred and fifty kilos of two per passenger a train just twenty. But sure, let's give Harry and Megan a hard time about flying from Vancouver to la During William's visit to Leith and it's unclear how he got to Scotland, William revealed a charming and slightly chaotic detail about his youngest son. Apparently five year old Prince Louis supports five
3:23 different football teams, with the young royal still undecided on where his true royalties lie. Whether aston Villa, the club champion by both William and Prince George, is among the favored five remains unclear. The disclosure came as William, known as the Duke of Rothsay, whilst in Scotland, was presented with a homemade Aston Villa posted by a young supporter. When she explained that she herself supported two clubs, William laughed and responded, my youngest at the moment says he supports five different football teams. The visit to Leith was part of a wider engagement focused on community well being, with a particular emphasis on projects using football to reduce social isolation. William gamely participated in a penalty shootout of finding the back of the net on his second attempt, and spent time admiring artwork created by members of the local center. Well look at this, he said, pausing before a display. When speaking to seventy six year old David Martin, he joked, Now this is something you made earlier. You didn't paint. That is brilliant. You're a professional artist. You're a professional artist. Martin later described the future king as absolutely magic, just a cool guy after a busy week of attending a garden party, talking about soccer and watching his wife push a button. Who would blame William if he soon announces a two week vacation. Also a note to anyone listening in Montecito. Let the paps take some pictures of you in a hat or kicking a soccer ball, and your week goes a lot easier. It comes across, it's more relatable than interviewing your CEO friends. But you still get to go home to your servants and castle more palace. In just a moment, you must have noticed
4:58 we haven't used the M word too much this week, other than recapping her underwhelming podcast. It seems that tabloids have too, as The Express raised our eyebrows with the headline chaos and Prince Harry and Meghan markus Montecito after doggie incident. Now, if you're familiar with the term dogging, you might, like us, think we have an old time story here. However, it turns out the incident was three miles away. The Express reports Montecito is not without its share of crime, with one local news website reporting a dogging incident at the start of May. According to the Montecito Journal, a local police officer spotted a suspect on probation engaged in sexual intercourse inside a parked vehicle at around eleven pm on Friday eight May. Second police also search the suspects walletum found cocaine. The incident reportedly took place on Channel Drive, located less than three miles away from the sussex's secluded mansion on rock Bridge Road. In other words, it has nothing to do with Meghan, who was presumably home in the kitchen making what is legally fruit spread for her good friend Mindy kaling or something moving on. Prince err has made a quiet but powerful gesture in support of a grassroots charity in Nottingham, leaving its organizers both stunned and deeply grateful. The Duke of Sussex has donated a significant undisclosed sum to Himma, a community organization working to combat poverty, racism and social exclusion.
6:17 The donation will fund more than six hundred and fifty emergency food parcels for vulnerable families across the city, a vital lifeline as demand for basic support continues to rise. The move echoes a previous act of generosity by the Duchess of Sussex, who in twenty twenty donated ten thousand pounds from the Royal Foundation to support Himma's Salam Shalama Kitchen, a joint Muslim and Jewish initiative that provides hot meals and groceries to those in need. Director of Hima, Sahid Muhammad, said the organization was completely gobsmacked to learn of Prince Harry's support. I could not believe it when we got the email. He said. To have been chosen by such a high profile royal once is amazing, but to have been supported by Prince Harry too, left us completely gob smacked.
7:00 In a letter released by the charity, Prince Harry shared his personal connection to the city, Nottingham holds a special place in my heart, having had the privilege of visiting and supporting the community there for over a decade. The incredible work HIMA does to address food insecurity, poverty and social exclusion should be recognized and implauded. And happy to be able to play a small part in your mission to bring communities together by creating opportunities and support for those facing hardship. The last will and testament of Lord Robert Fellow's former Private secretary to Queen Elizabeth I and uncle by marriage to Princess William and Harry, has now been revealed. Lord Fellows passed away in July last year at the age of eighty two. According to documents first reported by Hello, the majority of Lord Fellow's estate, estimated at two million dollars, has been left to his wife, Baroness Fellows, formerly Lady Jane Spencer, the elder sister of the late Princess Diana. She is to receive not only the principal inheritance, but also the income generated by the estate, which he stipulated should also be used to support their wider family. The will, drawn up in June twenty twelve, also includes bequests to several charitable institutions close to Lord Fellow's Heart Tapping House Hospice, the Rhodes Trust, Saint Mary's Church of his alma mater, Eaton College, the latter also known for educating both his royal nephews. Lord Fellow's distinguished career at Buckingham Palace began in nineteen seventy seven. He rose through the ranks to become Private Secretary to Her Majesty in nineteen ninety, a post he held during some of the most sensitive years of the late Queen Elizabeth's reign.
8:34 In August of twenty twenty four, both Prince William and Prince Harry attended a memorial service for their uncle at Saint Mary's Church in Norfolk. And there you have it.
