Kate Middleton seems shopping! Prince Harry gone woke? Royal website flashes word Hospice.

0:03 Callarogu Shark Media. Today, it's another busy day of news. Kate made an appearance, but that won't stop us from talking about Megan. Harry is accused of making the Invictus Games woke, and why did the Royal website flash the word hospice. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. This first story has outwriting team laughing. After all the attention of Meghan and Prince Harry getting a victory for a change, all of a sudden, Kate Middleton is out shopping. What an amazing coincidence. Nice try it, Princess, but we aren't falling for the Kate bait. We're here to talk about the Vanity Fairs cover article on Harry and Meghan, with the focus shifting to Harry as writer and appeal shares. At an event in twenty twenty three, someone privately asked Harry if he'd heard from his family.

0:56 He said he hadn't. This person asked Harry if he thought he was going to and he said he hoped. So that's sort of what made me so sad. The source says his hope seemed very genuine and I was just kind of like, oh no. The source believed Harry hadn't absorbed the gravity of what it would mean to sell millions of copies for Tell, a book about a famously insular and circumspective family in the middle of a year's long public relations crisis, the power of the written word and the power of the narrative. This person went on, I don't know if that's something he understood while he was doing it. By one telling, the person who interacted professionally with Megan says he's socially marooned beyond his nuclear family. She was upfront about the fact that Harry hadn't made many friends yet, the source says of Megan's assessment of a husband. The person who worked in media projects with the couple also has a guess. I think Harry doesn't know what he wants because he grew up at a fishbowl, and so he doesn't know what real life really is.

1:52 They say. I think he probably wants to be left alone and be able to go kiss babies every once in a while, but not have to worry about money. I don't think he wants to be famous the way Megan wants to be famous, and what kind of couple are Harry and Meghan. Vanity Fair quotes a person who worked closely with them. They are so hot for each other, Like you know, you meet those couples where you're like, the way they're looking at each other, I should probably not be here right now. We're also told when Harry is solo, the person inside the couple's circle says he's very personable. He's very at ease with people, quite like Diana. He just has this way of like making people feel very comfortable. When he's in public with Meghan, there is a circus. The source says, he's so protective of her because people are so nasty to her. It's a whole different experience. A friend of the Sussexes told The Daily Beast the Vanity Fair divorce story seemed very unfair. There was a book, but there wasn't a book. She was planning for life after divorce. But they are totally in love.

2:52 What there was not a shred of evidence. Will continue to poke away this very meaty article as the week progresses. This Sunday's Palace Weekly will feature a roundtable discussion of the article. Palace Weekly is our new show, and an additional episode available to all followers and comes down Sunday morning at ninety in East. Despite the divorce angle being largely dismissed, some royal watchers suggest the Sussexes couldn't divorce even if they wanted to. A source said to have worked closely with the couple toll page six, Meghan and Harry know that they are tied together. Their value is in being a couple. Even if they wanted to split, they couldn't, And honestly, they are obsessed with each other.

3:32 They are just two narcissists. Another source says Harry and Meghan are worth more together. It doesn't benefit them to be a part. They have all their deals together. I think the Random House deal is much like the Netflix deal. Netflix just said yes to everything because they wanted to get the docu series, so they said, okay, we'll take the Polo show and let's see what happens with Meghan's lifestyle show. Prince Harry's Invictor's Games has reportedly encountered a setback after a decision to replace rifles with laser guns in the biathlon spouked criticism. The twenty twenty five Games, scheduled to take place at Whistler Ski resort in Canada have seen participants raise concerns about the functionality of the lasers in snowy conditions. Daily Mail Diary editor Richard Eden claimed in his Eden Confidential column that the WOKE decision to use laser guns for inclusivity has not gone as planned.

4:25 According to US Army veteran Christopher Bride, cold weather and snow have caused issues with the equipment. We have had a couple of issues with the cold and some of the laser guns just not working, he said. Also, snow seemed to obstruct some of the targets. Bride added that during one lap he only hit one target due to snow blocking the laser lens, despite shooting perfectly in prior laps. A spokesperson for the Invictors Foundation explained the rationale behind the change. The principal reason for the lasers is inclusivity. They can be used by a wide range of those with disabilities. Addressing the snow related chin challengers, they assured that wouldn't be the case as there would be officials on site ensuring readiness for the rifles. Prince Aryan Beg and Michael visited Whistler last February to prepare for the upcoming games, underscoring their involvement in the event's planning. However, this equipment issue adds to the challenges faced in organizing the competition. In a snowy setting. In The Guardian, colonist Jane Martinsen answers the question, so why has Harry settled?

5:27 There is said to be an eight figure some from newsgroup to consider. He will be pleased with that, but he also may be disappointed that the settlement cuts his challenge short. He had cited the need for accountability. I am the last person that can actually achieve that, and also closure for these thirteen hundred people in families, he told a public event in New York. The cliff edge element of these cases may also have been a factor. If the amount agreed by the judges even a penny lower than the settlement offered, the complainant has to pay the legal costs for both sides. Still, Harry may feel he has achieved his objective of making a much wider point, describing journalism as a spectrum, with the Nobel Prize winner Maria Rasa and war correspondence at one end, and tabloid journalists who hacked his phone. At the other Harry told the same event in New York Class Month that he would be damned if those journalists hounding him were going to ruin journalism for everyone else, because we depend upon it so much. Harry is a divisive figure, loathed and ridiculed by much of the media, not least for his pursuing this case, and consequently he is a man who also divides public opinion. But in this wider point, surely he is right. The language from Harry's camp today is unequivocal.

6:39 Today the lies are laid bare, Today the cover ups are exposed, and today proves that no one stands above the law. The time for accountability has arrived. So there is a victor and are vanquished here. But still, unquestionably we have all lost palace. Intrigue will be right back. Let's keep an eye on this next story, which is either a glitch or a hint at the biggest story of the year. On Wednesday, eagle eyed fans noticed that the word hospice appeared as a prominent heading on the royal family's official website's main page, a curious detail that was soon corrected. Fan blog Gert's Royal first flagged the issue on social media platform ex Equipping Oops. For some bizarre reason, the header on at Royal Family website now says hospice Why. A screenshot of the surprise typo accompanied the post. Within two hours, the puzzling header had been removed, and by Thursday the website was fully back to normal, showcasing the expected content such as Royal biographies, engagement logs and the court circular. The error might have been linked to a recent engagement by Queen Camilla. On January twenty first, the Queen visited Prospect Hospice in Wiltshire to help mark the charity's forty fifth anniversary in her role as president.

7:58 It's possible that the sie frequent updates to reflect the Royals' activities contributed to the formatting slip up, or we have the biggest story of the year coming. Hopefully it was just a slip up. Charles is reportedly appalled by Prince Andrew's latest strategy to hold onto Royal Lodge, the sprawling windsor At State, where he resigns with ex wife Sarah Ferguson, The Duke of York, who has already survived efforts to cut his security and reduce his royal perks. Is allegedly now relying on the Queen's beloved corgies Newer and Sandy as part of his defense. The Duke and Duchess of York inherited the corgies after the Queen's death in twenty twenty two. And Andrew is said to believe their presence could sway Charles against any future attempt to a victim. A source claimed he's banking on the canines to shield him from moving. The Queen would be rolling in her grave over this. It shows just how bad things are between them that Andrew feels his brother values those two dogs more than him and enough to make sure he's properly taken care of. The insider also noted the emotional leverage of the dogs may not sit well with the King, calling Andrew's approach a low blow. Newick and Sandy were originally gifted to the Queen during the COVID pandemic and have since been a regular feature in Sarah Ferguson's social media posts. In a candid interview reflecting on parallels between caring for her late father and supporting her ex husband, Sarah Ferguson told The Sunday Times about looking after her father, Major Ronald Ferguson during his battle with prostate cancer in nineteen ninety six. She described the

9:30 experience as looking after a sad man during a comparison to her current situation. I was left to look after a sad man, which is sort of what I'm doing now, she said, a remark widely interpreters, referring to Prince Andrew, and there you have it.
