Calorouga Shark Media, Hello and welcome to Palace. Intrigu ami
2
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.600
post for Ances. Kate Middleton has officially returned to royal
3
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:21.239
duties following her recent battle with cancer. According to the
4
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.519
Court Circular, the Princess of Wales attended a meeting with
5
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.879
a team at Windsor Castle, marking her first engagement since
6
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:32.039
completing chemotherapy. Kate had announced her diagnosis in March and
7
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.119
shared in a September video message that she had finished treatment,
8
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:39.479
describing the past nine months as incredibly tough. Though her
9
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:42.280
workload is expected to be late in the near future,
10
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.759
she may make key appearances, including at the Remembrance Sunday
11
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.200
service in November and her annual Carol concert in December.
12
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.119
Prince Andrew is reportedly feeling depressed the head of the
13
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.840
release of a new Amazon Prime film, A Very Royal Scandal,
14
00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:00.479
which explores his infamous twenty nineteen BBC NEWSNIGHTE interview. The
15
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.200
three parts series, premiering today, features Michael Sheen as Andrew
16
00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:07.599
and Ruth Wilson as journalist Emily Meetless. The film is
17
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:10.760
a dramatization of the interview, where Andrew attempting to defend
18
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:15.159
himself against allegations of sexual assault by Virginia. Jeffrey infamously
19
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.000
claimed he was at a Pizza Express party and unable
20
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.879
to sweat due to a medical condition. A friend of
21
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:24.840
Andrew told The Daily Beasts that both the Duke of
22
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.439
York and his family are anxious about the film's release.
23
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:31.200
They emphasize that Andrew still denies the accusations and maintains
24
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.799
he has no recollection of ever meeting Jeoffrey, despite having
25
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:37.760
settled the case out of court. His daughters Beatrice and
26
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:42.359
Eugenie are reportedly trying to distance themselves from the public scrutiny,
27
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.319
while his ex wife Sarah Ferguson and the children remain
28
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.840
concerned about the film's impact. Some former Buckingham Palace staff, however,
29
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.359
reportedly relish the portrayal of Andrew was rude and petulant,
30
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.359
with one source saying they're filled with shardenfreude at how
31
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:01.680
this series seemingly nails his unsaved behavior. The film is
32
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.920
already drawing early reviews describing Andrew's character as pompous, diluted,
33
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:11.039
and deeply unpleasant. It follows a previous dramatization of the scandal, Scoop,
34
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:13.840
which aired on Netflix for Andrew. The release of A
35
00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.360
Very Royal Scandal feels like yet another round of public judgment,
36
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:19.800
raising the question of just how long his fall from
37
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:24.599
grace will last. The Spectator writes, A Very Royal Scandal
38
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.479
follows Netflix's depiction of the Interview Scoop, which was released
39
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.439
earlier this year. Whether the Royals will be watching either
40
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:35.319
of the dramatizations seems questionable. Each one offers its own
41
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.240
pleasures and intrigue, as well as several moments where the
42
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.000
average viewer will be driven to sigh, shout, or otherwise
43
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.520
explain the screen thanks to the sheer awfulness of the
44
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:50.000
Duke's behavior. Scoop portrayed him in Rufus Sule's latex and
45
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:53.199
cased performance as a buffoon, out of his depth and
46
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.199
blind to the consequences of his folly until it was
47
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.080
way too late. A Very Royal Scandal takes a more
48
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.599
considered approach, daring to hint that Andrew was actively bad
49
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.599
rather than just a privileged imbecile who was easily led
50
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:09.479
astray by those around him. It's notable, incidentally, that the BBC,
51
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.280
who produced the other two dramas in the Scandal series,
52
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:16.879
did not go anywhere near this particular hot potato arguments
53
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.840
between King Charles and Andrew R showen, albeit only from
54
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.800
the latter's perspective, with the then Prince of Wales telling
55
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.319
his younger brother not to do the interview. He calls
56
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.039
him a mummy's boy and says his actions will damage
57
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.280
the firm's reputation, accurate advice that will only send the
58
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.560
Duke into paroxysms of rage. The film suggests that the
59
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.879
only reason why Newsnight were allowed to film it all
60
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:40.680
was because the late Queen was on her younger son's side.
61
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:43.960
Whatever Andrew wants, and the consequences of this rare lapse
62
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.759
in judgment proved to be apocle. To this day, Prince
63
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.360
Harry and Megan Minchale have again stepped into the political
64
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.000
realm with their Archibell Foundation making National Voter Registration Day
65
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.560
by urging people to register to vote ahead of the
66
00:03:56.599 --> 00:04:01.560
twenty twenty four US presidential election. Asians staff participated in
67
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:06.240
a volunteer initiative writing personalized letters to unregistered voters using
68
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:10.360
vote Forward's letter writing tool. Aiming to increase civic engagement.
69
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.680
The Artswell Foundation emphasized the voting transcends party lines, framing
70
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.360
it as a fundamental way to influence the fate of
71
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:21.519
our communities and encouraging everyone to participate in shaping America's future.
72
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.360
Though Harry and Meghan did not endorse any specific candidates,
73
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.800
this move follows their previous calls for Americans to vote
74
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:30.839
during the twenty twenty election, which sparked controversy due to
75
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.560
the Royal traditions of political neutrality. Magad and Harry recently
76
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.240
celebrated their friend Tyler Perry just before Prince Harry's fourtieth birthday.
77
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.480
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were spotted leaving Perry's
78
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:45.439
birthday bash on September fourteenth, as shown in photos obtained
79
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:48.839
by The Daily Mail. Perry turned fifty five on September thirteenth,
80
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.199
and the star studded event, reportedly held at Montecito Home,
81
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.639
featured notable attendees like Oprah Winfrey, g Kingley, Sheha Keys,
82
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.000
and actor Aaron O'Connell. In the photos, Maghan and Harry
83
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.759
can be seen sitting together in the back seat of
84
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.519
a car, with Megan laughing and Harry holding up a phone.
85
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.199
According to a staff member from the lighting company, hired
86
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:09.040
for the event. There was a lot of music, dancing, singing,
87
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.079
lots of speeches and food too. Everyone was having a
88
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:14.319
lot of fun. It was a good party. There were
89
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:17.120
a lot of famous people, but I cannot say any more.
90
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.279
Harry is returning to the UK on September thirtieth. In
91
00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.079
a statement, he said, I am once again honored to
92
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.759
attend this year's Well Child Awards, celebrating the remarkable courage
93
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:31.079
and achievements of children living with complex medical needs. These
94
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:35.040
incredible young people, along with the dedicated caregivers, nurses and
95
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:39.160
professionals who tirelessly support them, inspire us all. It is
96
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:43.839
a true privilege to recognize such extraordinary individuals. Harry serves
97
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:45.920
as a patron of the Awards, having held this role
98
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.120
for sixteen years, one of the few UK based commitments
99
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.120
he retained after stepping down from royal duties. This will
100
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.839
mark his thirteenth time attending the event, where he will
101
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.560
meet with award winners and their families, present the award
102
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:01.399
for Inspirational Child aged four to six Deliberate Speech. This
103
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.839
will start another round of is Meghan Cumming speculation, and
104
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.639
we'll just tell you right now. The answer will be
105
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:14.120
no palace intrigue will be right back. In a bizarre
106
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:18.000
incident at Sweden's Royal Palace, a woman was arrested after
107
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.800
sitting on Queen Christina's historic silver throne dating back to
108
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.639
sixteen fifty The woman bypassed the cordons protecting the throne,
109
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.759
which is on display at the palace in Stockholm. Guards
110
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.319
witnessed the event and quickly called the police, leading to
111
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:35.279
her arrest on suspicion of vandalism and violating Sweden's Protection Act.
112
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.480
Early reports hinted at possible damage to the throne, but
113
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.000
Margaretta Thorgan, a spokesperson for the Swedish Royal Court, later
114
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:45.279
confirmed that no harm had been done. Thorgan expressed relief,
115
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:48.519
calling the throne a very fine piece of cultural heritage.
116
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.720
The throne, crafted by Bavarian artisan Abraham Adrentwett, was commissioned
117
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.360
for the coronation of Queen Christina, who became monarch just
118
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:59.079
seven years old. Made of wood and covered in silver,
119
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:03.319
the throne features symbolic depictions of justice and wisdom flanked
120
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:07.879
by two angels. Despite Queen Christina's abdication in sixteen fifty four,
121
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.040
the throne remains an iconic symbol of Swedish royalty. It
122
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.240
was most recently featured in a formal portrait of King
123
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.839
Cole the sixteenth Gusta for his Golden Jubilee in twenty
124
