King Charles is furious.....and it's not even about Prince Harry!

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue and host Mark Francis. The King is said to be fuming, and this time it's not over Harry, but pheasants. His majesty has reportedly been livered after a series of blunders at his beloved Sandringham estate have led to a significant decline in the number of game birds available for this year's annual Boxing Day shoot. According to a well placed source, it was a total cockup. No birds, no bang, just red faces. The King wasn't having it. The shortage has already claimed one casualty. A long serving gamekeeper who had managed the estate's game for years, has been dismissed, as one insider ratheridly pointedly put it, let's just say he's well and truly plucked off. Sandringham's shoot is one of the few remaining wild shoots in Britain. The game is both reared and shot on the estate itself. In keeping with his environmental ethos, King Charles has been reluctant to supplement bird numbers by releasing farmed pheasants, but maintaining a wild shoot is a challenging business, and the numbers have now dwindled to such an extent that they much love family tradition may be scrapped altogether this year. The annual Boxing Day shoot has long been a cherished occasion for the royal family, both with a sport and the rare opportunity for some family bonding in the Norfolk countryside. Though not without controversy. Animal rights campaigners frequently voiced objections, particularly

1:36 to the involvement of children. The event remains a staple of the royal calendar. With concerns mounting and barrels potentially left cold this December, one wonders whether the King might be forced to rethink his eco minded approach in favor of keeping tradition alive. Meanwhile, in a development shorter spark further headlines and family tension, Prince Harry reportedly considered changing his name from Mount Batton Windsor to Spencer, aligning himself more closely with his late mother, Princess Diana than his royal father, King Charles the Third. According to a source quoted by the Times, the Duke of Sussex discussed the idea with his uncle, Earl Charles Spencer, who ultimately advised him against the move. They had a very amicable conversation, and Spencer advised him against taking such a step, The source said. The suggestion that Harry nearly rebranded himself as a Spencer has not sat well with some royal commentators, many of whom view it as a symbolic rejection of his paternal heritage. Speaking on gb News, and Diamond remarked, I can't think of a more hurtful insult that Harry could deliver to his father. Can you to say I no longer want your name, I want my mother's name.

2:47 It's like declaring a divorce, only worse. Royal commentator Richard fitz Williams was similarly blunt, suggesting the Duke's public maneuverings are often ill considered. The problem with the Sussexes is clearly very little has been thought out. They are supposed to have advisers. Megan took to Instagram to share previously unseen footage from her Netflix show, including a clip of her cooking alongside Randy Karen as the two prepare a pineapple, but it was the caption that set tongues wagging, urging fans to rewatch the series before season two arrives this summer a notable shift from the previously expected autumn release.

As long as you just do what the doctors say, just live your life as normal as possible, That's exactly what he's doing, the AID added, almost three years on.
