Hello and welcome to Ballas Intrigue. I am your host,

3
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.879
Mark Francis. King Charles is preparing for his autumn tour

4
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.199
to Australia and Samoa by embracing a renewed focus on

5
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.320
his health, nature and family. The King, who has long

6
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.760
been an advocate for alternative therapies, has been complementing his

7
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.839
chemotherapy treatment for cancer with time outdoors and the company

8
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:34.000
of loved ones. According to sources close to him, Charles

9
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:36.399
believes that getting lots of fresh air and encouraging family

10
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.920
visits has played a significant role in his continued recovery.

11
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.640
Described as a workaholic, Charles has had to be persuaded

12
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.759
to slow down and prioritize his health. However, he remains

13
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.359
deeply committed to his public duties, and the sources shared

14
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.799
he hasn't really slowed down despite the protests from those

15
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.439
around him, but it has been important to him to

16
00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:58.560
remain to be seen. The King has continued to plan

17
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:01.520
for his upcoming trip while recovering at his Berkele home

18
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:05.280
in Scotland. His tour of Australia and Samoa will begin

19
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:08.359
on October eighteenth, marking his first major international trip since

20
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.599
his diagnosis. During the nine day visit, he will attend

21
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:14.519
the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Samoa and numerous

22
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.599
engagements in Australia, including laying a wreath at the Australian

23
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.120
War Memorial and visiting the famous Sydney Opera House. His

24
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:24.079
visit to Canberra will include a welcome from Prime Minister

25
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.719
Anthony Albanese. One of the most significant moments of the

26
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.959
tour will be meeting with two cancer doctors recognized for

27
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.319
their groundbreaking work on skin cancer, which has special resonance

28
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:38.840
given his own health challenges. Despite earlier reports of a

29
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.599
grueling schedule, AIDS confirmed that charles itinerary has been carefully

30
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:45.519
tailored to ensure his well being, with the King skipping

31
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.519
some of his scheduled cancer treatments during the trip. A

32
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:50.799
Palace inside had noted the King is on the right

33
00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:53.560
path and enjoying being back in business, adding that the

34
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.120
Monarch remains optimistic the future even during his recovery. His

35
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.000
Majesty's resilience and determination to carry out his Royal Duby

36
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.680
She's even in the face of personal health struggles, reflects

37
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.920
his dedication to both his family and his role as sovereign.

38
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:11.120
Craig Foster, a former Australian footballer to earned human rights campaigner,

39
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.919
has declined an invitation to meet King Charles during the

40
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.280
monarch's upcoming visit to Australia. This rejection has been seen

41
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:20.439
as an embarrassing blow to the King. Foster, who earned

42
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:23.159
twenty nine caps for the Soccer Ruse, was invited to

43
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:26.280
attend a community barbecue in the presence of King Charles

44
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.759
the Third and Queen Camilla. The invitation came in a

45
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.759
letter from New South Wales's Premier Chris Mins and his

46
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:36.000
wife Anna. In response, Foster took to social media stating

47
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.319
thanks Anna and at Chris Min's MP, but no thanks.

48
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.159
I look forward to being in the presence of our

49
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:43.719
first Ossie head of state when we put our big

50
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:48.039
pants on as a country. King Charles has recently added

51
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.319
a surprising new item to his daily routine lunch. Known

52
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.840
for skipping the mill throughout much of his life, reportedly

53
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:56.520
viewing it as a luxury he couldn't afford time for,

54
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.879
the monarch has now made a change at the urging

55
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.280
of his wife. Royal Aids doctors with his health a priority,

56
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.960
particularly As he recovers from his cancer diagnosis, the seventy

57
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.960
five year old king has embraced a millennial favorite avocado

58
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.840
as his go to lunchtime snack. A source revealed that,

59
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.000
with some reluctance, Charles now eats half an avocado during

60
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.199
the day to sustain his energy. I fits well with

61
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.680
his commitment to healthy eating. The King has long been

62
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:24.319
known for his organic food choices and his personal diet rules,

63
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.080
including abstaining from meat and fish two days a week

64
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:31.159
and avoiding dairy on another day. It seems even King

65
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.280
Charles isn't immune to the occasional kitchen catastrophe. In a

66
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.960
rather relatable moment, the monarch was reportedly baffled by the

67
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:41.000
sight of saran rap. According to Tom baw author of

68
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.319
Rebel Prince, Charles was startled by the common kitchen atem

69
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:47.879
leading to a rather dramatic reaction. Bauert described how the

70
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:52.879
now king shrieked and trembled upon encountering the cling film. Luckily,

71
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:54.840
quin Camilin was quick to come to his rescue. She

72
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:58.240
reassured him, saying, as clingfilm darling, bringing a bit of

73
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.719
calm to the dining room. After his unexpected reaction, a

74
00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.360
new fifty p coin featuring King Charles's portrait has officially

75
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.319
become the UK's rarest coin in circulation just months after

76
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.759
its release in late twenty twenty three. Dubbed the nation's

77
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.319
most collectible coin, it features a depiction of the Atlantic

78
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.279
salmon and has quickly taken the top spot, surpassing the

79
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.519
two thousand and nine Q Gardens fifty p, which held

80
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.319
the record for fifteen years. According to the Royal Mints

81
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:28.920
twenty twenty three mintage figures, only two hundred thousand of

82
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.399
the Atlantic Salmon coins were issued to UK banks and

83
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.720
post offices, ten thousand fewer than the Q Gardens coin,

84
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.519
making it highly sought after by collectors. This rarity has

85
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.160
created a significant shift in the world of coin collecting,

86
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.439
with enthusiasts now eager to get their hands on this

87
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.879
elusive piece. The King's step grandchildren have given him an

88
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.759
unconventional nickname, was revealed by Tom Parker Bowles, the renowned

89
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.079
food writer and son of Queen Camilla. According to Parker Bowls,

90
00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:00.120
his children called King Charles Upper. Parker Bowles explained for

91
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.759
the first ten to twelve years of their life, they

92
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:03.759
didn't know any different. They thought of him as the

93
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:09.120
most kind, funny, sweet step grandfather palace intricum a rap back.

94
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.279
The Metropolitan Police is facing criticism for not updating police

95
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.720
uniforms to reflect King charles reign. Two years after Queen

96
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.600
Elizabeth the seconds passing new recruits are still being issued

97
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:26.519
uniforms bearing the Queen's e to our cipher. The MAT

98
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.079
has attributed this delay to a lack of funding from

99
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.360
the Home Office. However, the Home Office maintains that decisions

100
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:37.240
regarding uniforms ultimately rest with police leadership. In contrast, Greater

101
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:42.040
Manchester Police has already introduced uniforms with the King's new cipher,

102
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:46.319
which combines his initial C with R for Rex, Latin

103
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.480
for King and three. Die Davis, former head of Royalty

104
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.399
Protection at Scotland Yard, expressed his concerns to the male.

105
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:57.000
All officers swear allegiance to King Charles, but how can

106
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.959
you do that worrying the late Queen's cipher. It's bizarre

107
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:02.959
the met need to provide a specific date for when

108
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:06.079
the uniforms will be changed. The current situation shows their

109
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:10.639
incompetence and failure to look beyond their own nerves. Even better,

110
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:13.120
the government should introduce a national police uniform with the

111
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:17.199
Royal snipher. This would save millions. On the UK version

112
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.519
of Big Brother, one of the housemates is Nathan, a

113
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.160
twenty four year old former butler to King Charles who

114
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:25.680
now works as a pork salesman. On why he applied

115
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:29.120
for Big Brother, Nathan said, I applied purely for the experience.

116
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:30.879
I like to do new things and like to try

117
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:33.439
and push myself and wanted to have an experience like

118
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.040
no other. It'll bring a lot of enthusiasm and fun.

119
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:38.639
I will bring a lot of opinions. I like to

120
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.879
have a spirited debate. I'm quite a strong character. If

121
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.839
I think something's wrong, I'll call it out as being wrong.

122
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.199
I'm not afraid to do that. I think most importantly,

123
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.319
I'll bring a lot of fun going in to enjoy

124
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.839
the experience and have a good time. His surprising fact

125
00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.600
I was Prince Charles butler. I think that's one thing

126
00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.600
that will definitely surprise people. Finally, on what he'd do

127
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:02.079
with the money, needs and shared, I've had loads of

128
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.079
thoughts about that. I'm quite vain. I got composite bonding

129
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:07.800
on my teeth last year and they stain. I love

130
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:09.680
a glass of red wine. So I would like to

131
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.879
get a new set of veneers so I could enjoy

132
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.279
a glass of red wine again. I'd like to get

133
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:16.800
back to that, and they have it. If you'd like
