“King Cool,” Queen Camilla’s Clap Controversy, and a Royal Misstep from Macron
Queen Camilla’s entrance at Wimbledon drew more than applause — it sparked online fury when spectators were nudged to stand by aides, prompting a fiery backlash from Good Morning Britain contributor Narinder Kaur. Meanwhile, King Charles earned the nickname “King Cool” after picking up litter on a beach in a full suit and sunglasses, and President Macron caused a stir by walking ahead of the King during the French state visit — reigniting royal protocol debates. Plus: the Duchess of Edinburgh delivers a moving tribute in Bosnia, and fresh analysis suggests the FBI closing its Epstein probe could be bad news for Prince Andrew’s hopes of redemption.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.919
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace intrigue. I
2
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:17.760
am your host Mark for Ansis. Queen Camilla's visit to
3
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:20.719
Wimbledon stirred up more than just centre court drama. It
4
00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:24.160
triggered a royal row online after Good Morning Britain contributor
5
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.679
Norinda cow took issue with how spectators were prompted to
6
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.719
rise for the queen's arrival. Camilla received a warm welcome
7
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:33.840
and a standing ovation as she entered the Royal Box
8
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.880
on Wednesday, alongside her sister Annabelle Elliott, but footage from
9
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.359
the moment shows aids gently tapping seated audience members on
10
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.679
the shoulder to prompt them to stand, a gesture that
11
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.560
left Narinda fuming. Am I actually seeing this right? She
12
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.479
posted on social media. Those women are tapping people to
13
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:55.439
get up for Camilla. What a despicably egotistical, vile thing
14
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.320
to do. Who on Earth behaves like this? Her outburst
15
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:02.960
sparked a lurry of responses, some in agreement, others defending
16
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.680
the long held tradition. I wouldn't have got up, one
17
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:09.480
follower replied, It's an absolute nonsense. Another user added, the
18
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:11.959
minders are tapping people to stand up. If this happened
19
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:14.599
to me, I would make a fuss for touching me. Still,
20
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.280
not everyone saw a scandal. Many defended the gesture as
21
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.640
part of royal etiquette. One social media user responded, this
22
00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:23.920
is called showing respect for the office, regardless of what
23
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:27.120
one thinks of a person in that office. Others insisted
24
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:32.040
it was simply British tradition, not personal ego. King Charles
25
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.200
has earned himself a new nickname, King Cool after being
26
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:37.599
spotted picking up litter on a beach in deal Kent
27
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:41.439
during the latest UK heat wave. Dressed in a light
28
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.480
beige suit, white shirt and tie, not exactly your typical
29
00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.879
beach where the seventy six year old monarch kept his
30
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.079
cool in the sun with a pair of stalish sunglasses
31
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.079
as he joined a local beach clean up effort. While
32
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:54.120
he used a little picker for most of the task,
33
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.319
at one point he was seen bending down to collect
34
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.480
a discarded plastic bottle with his bare hand, dropping it
35
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.000
into it beIN bag held by a nearby volunteer. Photos
36
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.319
of the King in action quickly spread online, drawing praise
37
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.479
from royal watchers. One fan posted, I adore him, while
38
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:14.319
another simply declared King Cool. During the French state visit
39
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.960
to the UK, President Emmanuel Macron found himself at the
40
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.080
center of a minor royal controversy, this time for appearing
41
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:24.159
to outpaced King Charles during a ceremonial inspection of troops
42
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.080
at Windsor Castle. As the two heads of state walked
43
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.439
along the Grenadier and Scott's Guards on July eighth, Eagle
44
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:32.800
eye viewers noted that Macron walked a few steps ahead
45
00:02:32.800 --> 00:02:35.599
of the King for much of the procession. This prompted
46
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.280
swift reaction online, with one observe equipping shouldn't he know
47
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.319
he's not supposed to walk in front of the king?
48
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:46.560
Two truly thinks he's Napoleon. Others labeled the moment disrespectful
49
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.800
and lacking in de corum. The moment drew comparisons to
50
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.680
a similar episode in twenty eighteen, when President Donald Trump
51
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.159
infamously walked ahead of Queen Elizabeth the Second, at one point,
52
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:00.639
even blocking her path. Trump's misstep drew widespread criticism at
53
00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:03.000
the time, with some interpreting the act as a breach
54
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.840
of etiquette or even a snub, But according to gb News,
55
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.800
royal correspondent to Cameron walk up. The traditional rules around
56
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.199
royal protocol often make allowances during state visits. It is
57
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.840
perhaps customed that the King, as the host, gives way
58
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:18.400
to the foreign head of state, which is the honored guest.
59
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:22.599
At Windsor Castle. Mccron also raised eyebrows earlier in the
60
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.520
day when he greeted Princess Kate on the tarmac ariaf
61
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.280
Northolk with a kiss on the hand. While unexpected, the
62
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.840
gesture is not technically a breach of royal protocol. The
63
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.800
Royal Family's official guidance makes clear that there are no
64
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:37.360
obligatory codes of behavior when meeting members of the royal family,
65
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:39.879
though many up for bowers or curtsys as a sign
66
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:44.280
of respect. King Coole did give mcron a lighthearted heads
67
00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.560
up about royal life during the recent state visit, specifically
68
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.879
the Royal zogs. During the stop at Windsor Castle, the
69
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.759
King reportedly warned his guest about the family's energetic pack
70
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:57.800
of pups. According to professional lip reader Nicola Hickling, King
71
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.039
Charles said of his dogs Snuff, Molly and Bluebell, if
72
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.199
you so much as cough, they start to bark and
73
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:07.479
may disturb your peace. Mcron and the royals also exchanged
74
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:10.680
banter about Prince William's towering height during their visit. According
75
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.919
to Hickling, mccron remarked, he's incredibly tall, to which King
76
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.600
Charles replied, he is very tall. He's six foot one
77
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.120
is ever so. But William corrected his father saying actually
78
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.920
I'm six foot three. Mcron responded with a laugh, unlike
79
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:30.040
us short More palace in just a moment, and as
80
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.519
a reminder, our new spinoff series, Crown and Controversy is out.

Episode one dropped last week and you can get a

00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.160
new episode every Sunday. It kind of takes off where
83
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:44.480
The Crown left us on TV and it starts season
84
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.680
one with the courtship of William and Kate. And you
85
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:49.639
can get that wherever you get your podcasts like this
86
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:52.680
one Crowd and Controversy, please check it out. That's from
87
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.399
your family and friends here at Caller Rogushark Media and
88
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.839
we appreciate the support. Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, delivered
89
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.120
a deeply moving message from King Charles during a visit
90
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:07.839
to Bosnia marking the thirtieth anniversary of the Spreadbrennica genocide. Sophie,
91
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.279
on her first official visit to the country traveled to
92
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:13.759
the town of Sabrennica, where more than eight thousand Muslim
93
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:16.360
men and boys were murdered in July nineteen ninety five.
94
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:19.639
She began by introducing herself simply as Sophie and thanked
95
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.560
the families of the victims for their invitations. At the
96
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.560
Brenica Memorial Center, a former battery factory where many had
97
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.600
sought refuge, she paused to view the personal items of
98
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:32.360
those killed, including shoes and jackets, on display in a
99
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:36.000
UK backed exhibit. She then wrote in a condolence book,
100
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:38.800
our duty must be to remember all those lost so
101
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.199
tragically and to never let these things happen again. It
102
00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.680
is only by working together that we find peace. She
103
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.959
signed it simply Sophie. During the main ceremony, which featured readings,
104
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.120
musical tributes, and a somber montage of wartime imagery, the
105
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.839
Duchess read aloud from one of the most significant speeches
106
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.639
of the day, a personal message from Charles, which said
107
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.680
he was greatly saddened not to attend in person, and
108
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:05.040
spoke of his deep respect for the mothers of Cirendbrennica,
109
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:09.519
praising their extraordinary courage, compassion, and dignity. He added, their
110
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:14.000
incredible resilience under such unbearable circumstances is a lesson to
111
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:18.120
us all. Victoria Ward in the Telegraph thinks the FBI
112
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.439
dropping Epstein case is bad news for Prince Andrew. Ward
113
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.079
writes there should be no popping of Champagne corts at
114
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.439
Royal Lodge, the Duke's windsor home. Rarely has there been
115
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:31.279
such a pyrrhic victory. For while the decision not to
116
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:34.079
pursue those connected to Epstein may well be a weight
117
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:37.720
off the Duke's shoulders, it changes nothing. In fact, one
118
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.120
could argue the decision to close the case does not
119
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:43.560
help him at all. If the Duke is innocent, as
120
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.759
he has long protested, he would have been better served
121
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.160
by the FBI either opening its files to the public
122
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:52.279
or conducting a thorough investigation, put him through the ringer,
123
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:55.560
and then exonerate him once and for all. Stripped of
124
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.839
his military titles, his charity affiliations, and his pride, the
125
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:02.600
Duke was cut adrift. The phrase innocent until proven guilty
126
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:06.199
had never seen less apt. But in reality, the damage
127
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:08.519
to the Duke's reputation had been inflicted a long, long
128
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.279
time ago from the moment Miss Geoffrey told her story
129
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:13.480
to a newspaper in twenty eleven, it was hit by
130
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.680
a hammer blow after hammer blow, the Duke has already
131
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.519
lost everything. Reduced to pottering around the expansive grounds of
132
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.199
his Windsor mansion, riding his horses and playing golf, he
133
00:07:22.199 --> 00:07:25.199
can barely raise his head above the parapet. His brand
134
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:27.920
has never been more toxic. For a seeingior member of
135
00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.879
the royal family who once so clearly loved his once
136
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.879
lofty status. It has been a punishing lesson. One thing
137
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:36.040
is for sure. Given the price he has already paid.
138
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.839
The FBI's decision not to pursue an investigation will be
139
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.639
perceived by his closest circle of friends and advisers as
140
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:45.800
an exoneration. They will, once it recognized in the form
141
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:47.959
of a public apology. They may even believe that he
142
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.319
should be reinstated to his former position within the royal family.
143
00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:56.160
