Show Notes
Transcript

Kim Kardashian confirms that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle personally asked for photos of them at Kris Jenner’s Beverly Hills birthday party to be taken down after realizing the images clashed with Remembrance Day, triggering a brief Hollywood “photo-gate.” Ben Mulroney offers a rare update on where things stand between Meghan and his wife Jessica Mulroney after years of fallout rumors. Meanwhile, reports say Meghan’s long-anticipated return to the UK is being carefully engineered around the Invictus Games to avoid uncomfortable royal encounters, even as her As Ever Valentine’s Day jam relaunch draws criticism online, prompting a quick pivot to a new chocolate partnership.

00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:10.679
Ah Caalaroga Shark Media, Hi, and welcome to Pallace Intrigue Game,

2
00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:14.000
your host Mark Francis. Kim Kardashian has confirmed that Prince

3
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.920
Harry and Megan Mirkle personally asked for photos of them

4
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:20.800
at Chris Jenna's seventieth birthday party to be removed from

5
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:24.920
social media after realizing the timing conflicted with Remembrance Day.

6
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.199
The deleted images, which sparked a brief but intense Hollywood

7
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:33.479
media storm dubbed photo Gate, were originally shared with the

8
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:37.520
Sussex's consent before being taken down hours later. Speaking on

9
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.560
the Chloe in Wonderland podcast, Kim Kardashian said the decision

10
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.039
came directly from Harry and Meghan. I don't think they

11
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:46.520
realized it was Remembrance Day and they didn't want to

12
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.280
be seen at a party. We were told that it

13
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:51.719
was totally called to post. We are never once to

14
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.520
post without permission. It's not who we are. The images

15
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.960
showed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attending a James

16
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:01.719
Bond themed birthday celebration for Chris Jenna in Beverly Hills,

17
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.519
hosted by Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. In one photo,

18
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:07.840
Prince Harry was seen wearing a poppy on his lapel,

19
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:12.239
while Megan Michael was not. Other images showed Megan greeting

20
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.400
Netflix's chief Read Hastings and laughing with Jenna as Harry

21
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.319
stood near by. Kim said this sussexcess later reconsidered after

22
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.439
reflecting on how the images might be perceived. I think

23
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:24.719
they realized it was Remembrance Day and they didn't want

24
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:27.400
to be seen at a party even though it's already up,

25
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.959
you know, and then taken down, and then I think

26
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.239
they realized, like, oh, this was so silly. She noted

27
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.799
that while photos of Harry and Meghan attending the Baby

28
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.239
to Baby Charity event earlier that same day were all

29
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:41.719
left online, the party images felt different. That was fine,

30
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:43.840
but maybe not partying and dancing on the dance floor

31
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:45.920
or whatever, Kim said, So we took them down to

32
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.760
respect Remembrance Day. Kim described the entire episode as overblow,

33
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:52.200
and adding it was really innocent, which is so crazy.

34
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.159
Mum and Meghan have been friends for some years now

35
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.879
and they have a really sweet relationship. If we just

36
00:01:56.920 --> 00:01:58.599
made it light and made it funny, you know, I

37
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:01.640
think it would have been like differently, but I hated

38
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.079
how that was received for everyone that sucks just made

39
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.280
into something that was so crazy and ridiculous that just

40
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:11.520
didn't have to be. Ben mulroney has offered a rare

41
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.960
public comment on the status of the friendship between his

42
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.879
estranged wife Jessica mulroney and Megan Michael, seven years after

43
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.400
reports of a fallout. Appearing on the January twenty eighth

44
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:25.360
episode of the Can't Be Censored podcast, the Canadian television

45
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.360
and radio host was asked where things stand between Jessica

46
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:32.560
and the Duchess. Mulroney replied, it's jess story to tell.

47
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:34.800
I wouldn't speak for her so if she ever wants

48
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.039
to talk about it, but from what I understand, they

49
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:41.479
are on positive terms. Radar Online reports the potential Megan

50
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:45.879
UK visit is deliberately structured around Invictus. They said, anchoring

51
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.159
the visit around in Victors gives everything a sense of

52
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:51.639
purpose and protection. It provides a legitimate, values driven reason

53
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.360
for being in the UK, and keeps the narrative focused

54
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.560
on Harry's work rather than royal politics. It also gives

55
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.520
them cover to avoid uncomfortable questions about family meetings or absences.

56
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:04.960
The idea of returning after so long still fills her

57
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.080
with incredible dread, despite the careful planning around the trip.

58
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.120
One inside it said Meghan understands the being visibly supportive

59
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:15.199
of invictors Kerry's weight both publicly and within royal circles.

60
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.879
It strengthens her position and shows commitments beyond personal grievances.

61
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:22.080
With William eventually ascending the throne, there's a clear sense

62
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.439
that maintaining some level of goodwill with the family could

63
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.960
be crucial if titles are to remain intact. Being a

64
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.000
Duchess matters deeply to her, and she knows this return

65
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:33.599
could play a role in shaping how she is viewed

66
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.840
and going forward. Harry is said to be prioritizing his

67
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.919
wife's comfort, and insiders said Harry has been very clear

68
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:42.919
that this visit will be shaped entirely around Meghan's comfort level.

69
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.120
He has assured her that there will be no pressure

70
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.400
to sit down with anyone she isn't ready to face,

71
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:51.240
and no expectation of emotional reunions. His main concern is

72
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.319
that she feels safe and backed at every step, while

73
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.599
ensuring the spotlight stays firmly on Invictus rather than family drama.

74
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.840
King Charles is said to be on slightly improved terms

75
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:05.280
with Harry following a meeting last year. However, Prince William

76
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:08.159
is understood to have little interest in reconnecting, and inside

77
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.080
it said, the King's position is that the visit should

78
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.280
be calm and free of tension. He has made it

79
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.319
clear that basic courtesy is non negotiable, but then no

80
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.000
one is being forced into personal interactions they don't want.

81
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.399
If senior royals cannot be polite and welcoming, they are

82
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.439
expected to stay away. While William has no interest in

83
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.839
seeing his brother, and Camilla shares that reluctance. With Megan's

84
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.319
Raspberry spread back in stock, some consumers were not impressed.

85
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:35.639
Pricing quickly became a focal point of the reaction. Individual

86
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.360
jars were priced at about twelve dollars, jars with keepsake

87
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.800
packaging at fifteen, and trio gift boxes of strawberry or

88
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:47.800
raspberry spread at roughly forty two. Some customers expressed disappointment

89
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.360
that the launch did not include any new products on

90
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.079
social media, when user wrote, Megan Michael wants you to

91
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.639
note this is her Valentine's Day collection, nothing else. This

92
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.519
is her at her best. She had a year to

93
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.079
curate a Valentine collection and this is what she came

94
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:04.800
up with. This. Another commented, are you joking? She puts

95
00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:08.160
zero effort into this. It's getting ridiculous now. Others were

96
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.839
more blunt, calling the launched lane but good news, Megan

97
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.879
is giving it a second try. As Ever's official Instagram

98
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.319
account revealed a new partnership with Los Angeles Chocolate Tea

99
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.360
Comparts compartee scheduled for tomorrow. The post featured a chief

100
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.480
of a chocolate bar resting on a train, was accompanied

101
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.199
by the caption love letter in Chocolate. A follow up

102
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.120
message teased the limited nature of the release, stating sweet

103
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.319
favorites return plus something brand new, set to a reminder

104
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.959
it won't last long more Palace in just a Moment.

105
00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:46.040
King Jarles' new Amazon Prime documentary about the environment is

106
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:48.680
notable in that it includes rare archive footage of him

107
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.800
with both of his sons, despite Harry's estrangement from the family.

108
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:55.279
The ninety minute film is titled Finding Harmony, a King's Vision,

109
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:59.120
and is described as a deeply personal landmark documentary that

110
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.800
explores his Majesty's lifelong vision for a more balanced and

111
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.639
sustainable world. It will err on Prime Video on February six.

112
00:06:06.839 --> 00:06:10.199
In the documentary, the King reflects on decades of environmental

113
00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:13.160
advocacy and says he refused to be diverted from the

114
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:16.720
mission despite criticism. Charles warns the fight to protect the

115
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.360
planet is rapidly going backwards. I've said that for the

116
00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:22.720
last forty years. But anyway, there we are, he continued,

117
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:24.600
I can only do what I can do, which is

118
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:27.000
not very much. People don't seem to understand. It's not

119
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.879
just climate that's the problem. It's also biodiversity loss, so

120
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.120
we're actually destroying our means of survival all the time.

121
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.160
To put that back together again is possible, but we

122
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.680
should have been doing it long ago. We've got to

123
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.639
do it as fast as we can now. A spokesperson

124
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.000
for the King says, it is my belief that audiences

125
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.120
will find it genuinely fascinating and revealing about King Charles

126
00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:51.120
the Monarch, King Charles the Man, and King Charles the

127
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:56.600
Environmental Missionary. The documentary includes archived material spanning decades, from

128
00:06:56.600 --> 00:06:59.720
the King's early speeches to family footage from his childhood

129
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:03.319
and his time with his children. One short clip shows

130
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.800
Charles dressed in a kilt fishing with a nine year

131
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.600
old Prince Harry in Scotland, with William featuring more prominently.

132
00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:13.000
The film also includes lighter moments filmed at High Grove.

133
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.519
The King has shown caring for chickens at what the

134
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:20.839
documentary calls Cluckingham Palace. He's also heard discussing organic farming principles,

135
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.279
including the heritage varieties of vegetables and plants. At one point,

136
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.759
he says, part of that is to find the right varieties.

137
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:28.879
If you want to have a decent baked potato, which

138
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.199
I love, you've got to have the crispy skins. So

139
00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:34.360
the Red Duke of Yorks are very good. The documentary

140
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:38.879
revisitor remark that Drew Ridicule decades ago. Narrator Kate Winslet

141
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.279
reflects on the moment from a nineteen eighty six ATV

142
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:44.160
documentary when Charles said, I just come and talked to

143
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:47.879
the plants. Really very important to talk to them, they respond.

144
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.600
The film says the comment haunted him for years, while

145
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:52.879
also noting that his long running focus on working with

146
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:54.879
nature led some to view him as a bit of

147
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:59.360
a hippian bonkers. In another sequence, Charles sets out the

148
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.279
central things of the project. We are part of nature,

149
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.319
not apart from it, the King says, later, adding maybe

150
00:08:05.319 --> 00:08:07.399
by the time I shuffle off this mortal coil, there

151
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.600
might be a little more awareness of the need to

152
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.879
bring things back together again. Ahead of its release, the

153
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.519
King hosted a premiere at Windsor Castle, described as the

154
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:19.399
first film premiere held at a royal residence. Stanley Tucci,

155
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:24.120
Benedict Cumberbatch, Dame Judy Dench and Alan Titchmarsh were among

156
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:26.959
the guests who joined the King and Queen Camilla. Reflecting

157
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.040
on what he hopes the film achieves, the King says,

158
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:30.720
it would be nice to try and see if we

159
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:34.279
can get through to people, but who knows and they

160
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:36.120
