A Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue.
2
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.160
I'm your host, Mark Francis. Catherine, the Princess of Wales,
3
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:18.280
revealed a personal change she has made since her cancer
4
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:22.160
diagnosis during a royal visit with Prince William in East London.
5
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:26.640
The couple visited a brewery along the Bermonsi Beer Mile,
6
00:00:26.719 --> 00:00:30.320
where they met local business owners and helped promote independent
7
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:34.759
and female owned companies. During the stop at Fabel Beer Hall,
8
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:38.280
the Princess was offered a taste of beer insider, but declined.
9
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:42.000
According to brewery owner Hannah Rhodes. Kate explained that she
10
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.280
has become much more careful about alcohol since her illness.
11
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.600
She reportedly said that since a diagnosis, she has not
12
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.679
had much alcohol, in that it is something she now
13
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.679
has to be far more conscious of. Instead of trying
14
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:56.560
the drinks on off of, the Princess opted for a
15
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:00.759
soft drink. Medical guidance from the NHS often as patients
16
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:04.760
undergoing cancer treatment to limit alcohol consumption in order to
17
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.640
support recovery and reduce treatment side effects, though recommendations can
18
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:12.040
vary depending on the type of treatment. Kath and William
19
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:14.879
drew large crowds during their outing. The couple began their
20
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.840
visit at Burrow Market in Southwark, where surprised shoppers gathered
21
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.079
as they arrived wearing aprons. The Prince and Princess chatted
22
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.439
with traders and tried their hands at several tasks, including
23
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.200
chopping cheese, serving dessert at the Humble Crumble stall, and
24
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.920
making coffee at Change Please, a social enterprise that supports
25
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:37.599
people experiencing homelessness. Kath even prepared a cappuccino and handed
26
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:40.480
it to William, telling him I've made a coffee for you. William.
27
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.319
When he asked whether it was DCAF and she replied no,
28
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.599
he joked that the drink should be sold instead. The
29
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.760
couple also met the Trethowen Brothers, award winning cheesemakers, who
30
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.480
have had a stall at the market since the late
31
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:57.480
nineteen nineties. Later, William and Kate visited the Bramonsei b
32
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.519
a mile, where they toured the brewery and tried pouring pints.
33
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:03.760
During the visit, William revealed a personal preference for cider,
34
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:06.959
telling those present, I'm a cider man. I like cider.
35
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.840
I grew up in cider in the West Country. The
36
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:13.280
outing continued with a speedboat journey along the River Thames
37
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:18.479
to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution Tower Lifeboat Station in Westminster,
38
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.680
which opened in twenty twenty three and is now the
39
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:24.599
busiest station in the country. The visit also carried personal
40
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.360
significates for the couple. The first official engagement together in
41
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.560
February twenty eleven, involved the same charity when they traveled
42
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:33.719
from Angussy in North Wales to name a new RNLI
43
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.120
lifeboat called the Hereford Endeavor. That event took place just
44
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:41.360
months before their wedding. During Thursday's appearance, the Prince and
45
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:45.400
Princess spoke with the RNLI staff and volunteers about their
46
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:48.120
life saving work on the Thames, and the day ended
47
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.680
with Kate stopping to Greek members of the public except
48
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.639
flowers and pose for selfi's with the crowds waiting outside.
49
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:56.719
The Princess of Wales would take part in the Irish
50
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:01.639
Guards Saint Patrick's Day Parade at Mon's Barracks and Oldershop. Today, Catherine,
51
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:04.360
who serves as Colonel of the Irish Guards, will join
52
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.159
the regiment for the traditional celebration. During the ceremony, she
53
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:11.319
will present sprigs of shamrock to the officers and guardsmen,
54
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.599
who will then distribute them among the ranks. The Irish
55
00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:19.800
Wolfound regimental mascot will also receive Shamrock. The parade will
56
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.240
conclude where a royal salute and a march past, during
57
00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:24.840
which the Princess of Wales will take the salute in
58
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:28.960
her role as colonel. Following the ceremony, Katherine will award
59
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.159
long Service and Good Conduct medals to members of the regiment.
60
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.080
She will also meet with Regimental Association members and a
61
00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:37.639
group of junior cadets from Northern Ireland known as the
62
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.719
Mini Mix. The princesses also expected to spend time at
63
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.080
the Sergeant's Mass, where she will meet soldiers and their
64
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.840
families and recognize the role they play in supporting the
65
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.599
armed forces. The Irish Guards perform a dual role within
66
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:53.840
the British Army. They serve as elite infantry soldiers trained
67
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.759
in frontland combat roles involving machine guns, anti tank missiles, mortars,
68
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.360
reconnaissance and sniping. At the same time, they also act
69
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.960
as the ceremonial bodyguard to the King and are frequently
70
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.840
seen on duty at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. The
71
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:10.960
regiment has also played a role in supporting the training
72
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.240
of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In recent years, it is
73
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:19.360
focused on modernization and developing new operational capabilities, including becoming
74
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:24.759
a leading force in the UK's drone warfare program. Katon
75
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:27.360
William will take on a prominent diplomatic role as they
76
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:32.160
present Charles the Third to formally welcome Bola Ahmed Tinubu
77
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.160
and Olaremi Tinubu when the Nigerian leader arrives for a
78
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:40.279
two day visit to the UK. The presidential couple will
79
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.319
arrive in London today before traveling to Windsor on Wednesday,
80
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.079
where William and Catherine will greet them at the Fairmont
81
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:50.000
Hotel on behalf of the king. After that initial welcome,
82
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.399
the group will travel to Datchet Road for the ceremonial arrival.
83
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.600
King Charles and Camilla will then formally receive the visitors
84
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.959
on the Royal Zais. The ceremony will include a royal
85
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.800
salute fired in Home Park and at the Tower of London.
86
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.639
Royal party will then take part in a carriage procession
87
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:10.399
to Windsor Castle. Inside the castle's quadrangle, a guard of
88
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.720
honour from the first Battalion Grenadier Guards will present arms
89
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.879
while the bands play the national anthems of Nigeria, and
90
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.959
the UK President Tanubu will inspect the Guard of Honour
91
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:25.319
before the assembled royals watcher military march past. Later in
92
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.279
the day, the King and Queen will host the Nigerian
93
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:30.360
President and First Lady for a private exhibition of items
94
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.720
relating to Nigeria from the Royal collection in the Green
95
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.160
Drawing Room. The visit will conclude with the traditional state
96
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:40.480
banquet in Saint George's Hall at Windsor Castle, where both
97
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.519
King Charles and President Tenubu are expected to deliver speeches.
98
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.360
On Thursday, the Nigerian President will meet with British Prime
99
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:52.319
Minister Kirs Stamer in London before departing. The trip marks
100
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:55.639
the first UK visit by a Nigerian leader in thirty
101
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.319
seven years. The last took place in nineteen eighty nine,
102
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:03.040
when Nigerian Military Press President Ibrahim baban Gida was hosted
103
00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:06.079
by Elizabeth the Second. King. Charles also has a long
104
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.759
personal connection with Nigeria, having visited the country several times
105
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.120
during his years as Prince of Wales, including a visit
106
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:16.560
in twenty eighteen alongside Camilla or Palasing just a moment.
107
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.240
Prince William drew praise from Royal watchers after attending a
108
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:27.040
Six Nations rugby match in Cardiff, where fans noticed an
109
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.279
unexpected talent. The Prince attended the match in his role
110
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.879
as patron of the Welsh Rugby Union. During the match,
111
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:37.800
William joined thousands of supporters in singing the Welsh national
112
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:41.600
anthem before kickoff. Video of the moment circulated online and
113
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.800
quickly drew enthusiastic reactions from fans. One supporter wrote on
114
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.680
x Prince William joined in with the Welsh national anthem
115
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:53.279
at the Wales versus Italy rugby match today, sung in Welsh,
116
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.319
a very dramatic start to the match. The singing was fantastic.
117
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.480
Kate mark Mother's Day in a quiet way this year,
118
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:04.240
stepping away from the usual tradition of sharing a family
119
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:07.199
photograph with Prince William and their children. In past years,
120
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:10.240
Katherine Is often used Mothering Sunday to post personal images
121
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.759
featuring Prince George, Prince Charlotte, Prince Lewis. Last year, the
122
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.680
tradition drew intense attention after a family photograph was found
123
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:20.800
to have been digitally edited, prompting the Princess to issue
124
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.000
a rare public apology. This year, there was no personal
125
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.120
Mother's Day post from Katherine on her main social media channels,
126
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:29.800
but she did quietly share a message through the Royal
127
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.920
Foundation Center for Early Childhood, the organization she uses to
128
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:38.600
promote the importance of children's earliest years. The message read today,
129
00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:42.279
we celebrate every mother, kerra and caregiver whose steady love
130
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.720
gives children the foundations to thrive. Here's to all who
131
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:47.959
nurture and guide with the quiet acts that shape the
132
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:52.120
next generation. Happy Mother's Day. We learned in court last
133
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.279
week that a senior Mail on Sunday journalist told the
134
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:56.839
High Court she once knew Kate was pregnant with her
135
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.759
first child days before the news became public, but chose
136
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.399
not to report it. Charlotte Griffith's editor at large the
137
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:06.519
Mail on Sunday, gave the evidence during the ongoing privacy
138
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:11.120
trial brought by several high profile figures against Associated Newspapers Limited,
139
00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.240
the publisher of The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday.
140
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.839
During her testimony, Griffith said the incident demonstrated that she
141
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.839
understood the difference between her professional role as a journalist
142
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:23.439
and her personal relationships. She told the court. I draw
143
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:26.240
a line between my professional and my own personal life
144
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.759
as compared to my attending events as a journalist. Griffith
145
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.320
said she had attended a country house gathering where Prince
146
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:36.159
William mentioned that Catherine would not be present because she
147
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:39.320
was suffering from morning sickness. She explained that the comment
148
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:42.559
effectively revealed that the Princess of Wales was expecting her
149
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:46.480
first child. Griffiths said the fact that the Princess was
150
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:49.039
pregnant whether their first child, would have been big news
151
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:52.039
in Saint James. Pallace only confirmed it the following Monday
152
00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:55.679
because she had to be admitted to hospital. I decided
153
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:58.120
to keep it to myself. I missed a scoop to
154
00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:00.799
maintain my friendships, and because I knew where the line
155
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.799
was and had decided not to cross it. And they
156
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:05.879
have it. If you want to email us addresses the
