Kate Middleton wants you to stop worrying about what she's wearing

0:03 Calorogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue and your host, Mark Francis. Kate Middleton is shifting the spotlight away from fashion and onto her campaign work, where the Kensington Palace reportedly no longer providing details about her outfits. According to a palace source, Kate wants the focus to be on the really important issues and the causes she supports, rather than what she's wearing. While acknowledging that some will always be interested in her style, the princess believes that the style is there, but it's about the substance. This change comes after her recent return to public duties following cancer treatment, which she said has given her a new perspective on life. Former British Vogue editor Alexandra Schulman noted that this move aligns with Kate's reassessment of her priority's post illness. However, she pointed out that designers will likely continue to promote their association with the princess even if the Palace no longer officially comments on her wardrobe. For years, Kate's fashion choices have sparked trends, with a so called Kate effect, leading two items selling out within hours. She has also championed British designers and has been known to recycle outfits, a rarity in Royal fashion. Kate marked World Cancer Day with a personal message of resilience, sharing a new photo taken by none other than her six year old son, Prince Louis. Don't forget to nurture all which

1:36 lies beyond the disease, she wrote, alongside an image of herself smiling in the woods with her arms raised, a moment captured by young Louis in Windsor. The post also included a second image taken by Kate herself, showing a close up of ferns, a symbol of endurance and renewal. Daily Mail columnist Maureen Callahan has weighed in on Vanity Fair's recent coverage of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, describing it as particularly scathing. Speaking on the podcast Recollections May Vary alongside host Kinsey Showfield, Callahan remarked, this cover story has a lot of teeth, which is something most publications no longer have. Vanity Fair thought they could take a wrecking ball to these two and just obliterate them.

2:21 It tells you everything we need to know about where they stand in the industry, whether it's publishing, podcasting, streaming. It followed the Hollywood Reporter story, which basically said Hollywood is done with them. Talk TV host Kevin O'Sullivan said in Showbierz, you can dodge, you can dive, you can bob and weave, and you can avoid some of the flack. If it happens once, you can maybe get out of it. If it happens twice, if you're lucky to get out of it. If it happens three times, that's three times unlucky. And frankly, now everyone in Hollywood thinks she's Meggan Markle, a toxic bully. She's in big trouble. O'Sullivan might be right. A source close to Kim Kardashians closer. As much as Kim respects her mum Chris's choice to support them, she doesn't want to be associated with anyone that's controversial unless they really are a great benefit to her. As far as you can tell, there's not much benefit to hanging out with the Sussexes. Princess Eugenie has avoided publicly following or interacting with Megan Markel on social media, with a royal expert, suggesting it is a deliberate move to avoid controversy.

3:27 Megan launched a new Instagram account on New Year's Day, quickly amassing over one point six million followers. However, no members of the royal family appear to follow her, including Princess Eugenie, despite their reportedly close relationship. Veteran royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told gb News the Royal family wouldn't touch them officially in that regard, but Eugenie is friendly with them and also has the Portugal connection that could develop. But more conventionally, I would be very surprised if Eugenie liked or it was openly supportive. That would instantly cause comment that she was breaking from the rest of the royal family, who clearly are at reft. So no one will do that they know it would cause instant trouble.

4:10 Former royal butler Grant Harold has warned that Prince Harry faces a huge threat due to his royal status and military history, particularly as he prepares to appeal a High Court ruling on his security arrangements. The Duke of Sussex's legal team is set to challenge an April decision that upheld the Home Officer's twenty twenty ruling to adjust his level of protection upon returning to the UK after stepping down as a senior royal. Last February, High Court Judge Sir Peter Lane determined that there has not been any unlawfulness in reaching the decision. Speaking to Tacopedia, Harold, who worked for King Charles between two thousand and four and twenty eleven, stated, people in the armed forces and the police have individual threats due to the nature of what they do, but being a member of the royal family is also a threat. The threat is huge. There was an assas nation attempt on the then Prince Charles in nineteen ninety four in Australia, which just highlights the risk.

5:06 I think Harry is more worried about his wife and his kids in the risk of kidnapping plots. To be honest, the more he does in public as a celebrity, the more he could become a target. So of course he is going to take his security more seriously and this is very important to him. They offer security detail the minute they become engaged to a member of the royal family, and I witnessed that when the Princess of Wales became engaged. Breaches do happen, People find ways around it, and there's always that risk and that's what will always be in the back of Harry's mind. It's hard to say if they get enough protection. Potentially they are higher target than the Royal family because of politics, but again the Royals have had the same security protocol for decades. More powers in just a moment. Prince William held a private meeting at the Ministry of Defense headquarters in London. According to the Official Record of Royal Engagements, the undisclosed meeting, which was not open to the media, took place on Thursday at the government's headquarters in Whitehall. It was later noted in the Court Circular the Formal Log of Royal Activities.

6:10 As the future head of the Armed Forces, Prince William holds affiliations with multiple military regiments across all three branches of the military, including his role as Royal Colonel of the Welsh Guards. Wills sent social media into a frenzy after appearing alongside science content creator big Manny in a video from his visit to Guildford last week. The collaboration took place during William's visit to Nature Metrics, a twenty twenty four Earthshot Prize finalist, where he joined the team in extracting DNA from a strawberry. The company, which focuses on biodiversity monitoring, has secured twenty five million pounds in investment support through the prize's launch Pad platform. Writing on the Earthshot Instagram page, the Prince of Wales expressed enthusiasm about how the investment would help scale nature Metrics innovations OBI to protect ecosystems worldwide. During the demonstration, William introduced himself as Nanny's beautiful assistant. As the pair carried out the experiment. Big Many explained that strawberries are octoploid, meaning they contain eight of each type of chromosome in every cell.

7:17 The video quickly gained traction online, with one social media user commenting a prince clapping hands emoji on TikTok. Another added, my jaw dropped.
