00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.240
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Injury Again

2
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:19.559
host Mark Francis. As wildfires ravage parts of California, Prince

3
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:22.199
Harry and Megan Markele have stepped up to support their

4
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:26.839
community while bracing for the possibility of evacuating their Montecito home.

5
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:31.160
Though their exclusive enclave remains safe for now, the couple

6
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.320
has reportedly moved into crisis mode, ready to active the

7
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:37.880
flames approach. Their security team is said to be coordinating

8
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.240
evacuation plans, including packing essentials for their children. A neighbor commented,

9
00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:45.039
it's not chaos here yet, but the fire is moving

10
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.439
fast and we are not taking any chances. Public safety

11
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:52.159
survival kits containing items like solar charges, flashlights, and protective

12
00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:56.679
equipment have been distributed to residents in the area. The

13
00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:59.840
polo player and dog biscuit entrepreneur have also opened their

14
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:02.679
doors to friends and loved ones displaced by the fires,

15
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:05.959
offering them a safe haven in their mansion. They've donated

16
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:10.040
essential supplies, including clothing and children's items, to those affected.

17
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:13.760
In a statement on their Archwell website, the Sussexes acknowledged

18
00:01:13.799 --> 00:01:17.680
the devastation caused by the wildfires which have claimed lives

19
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:22.079
and destroyed homes across southern California. Their message included practical

20
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.799
advice for helping evacuees. It reads, in the last few days,

21
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:31.159
wildfires in southern California have raged through neighborhoods and devastated families, homes, schools,

22
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.640
medical care centers, and so much more, affecting tens of

23
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:37.640
thousands from all walks of life. A state of emergency

24
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.280
has been issued. If you feel compelled to help, here

25
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:44.239
are some resources and ideas. If a friend, loved one,

26
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.640
or pat has to evacuate and you are able to

27
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:48.599
offer them a safe haven in your home, please do

28
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.400
and be sure to check in with any disabled or

29
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.840
elderly neighbors to see if they need help evacuating. Some

30
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:59.000
families and people have left with nothing. Please consider donating clothing,

31
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.480
children's toys, and clothing and other essentials. The American Red

32
00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:06.400
Crosses on the ground helping those in need. The couple

33
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:10.520
also urged donations to organizations aiding fire victims and highlighted

34
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:14.639
the efforts of several charities. These include the World Central Kitchen,

35
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:18.240
serving mills to emergency crews and victims, Cow Fire and

36
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:23.400
LA Fire. Department foundation supporting firefighters and Animal Wellness Foundation

37
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.560
providing shelter for displaced animals. The British press noticed that

38
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:30.639
the couple used the American spellings of the words neighborhoods

39
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.759
and centers. Roya watches and wondering if Megan used her

40
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.639
dog's death to promote her Netflix series. The cooking show

41
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.080
host recently shared an emotional video montage and a lengthy

42
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.400
tribute to Guy, the beagle, who had been with her

43
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:47.520
since twenty fifteen, but raised eyebrows with a mention of

44
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:51.759
her upcoming Netflix cookery show with Love Megan in the post.

45
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:54.560
This connection between the dog's death and the show's promotion

46
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.759
didn't sit well with The Daily Mail's Royal editor Rebecca English,

47
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.520
who remarked, I thought it was quite notework that she

48
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.120
used it as a plug for the show, which, I'll

49
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.360
be honest made me feel personally a little bit uncomfortable.

50
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.599
English compared Megan's approach to that of Prince William and

51
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:11.879
Princess Catherine when they announced the loss of their dog

52
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:16.240
Loopo in a brief and understated social media post. She noted,

53
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:18.840
maybe that is a very British way of doing things.

54
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.240
The males. Richard Eden pointed out that viewers might find

55
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:26.120
it odd to see Guy featured posthumously, saying she felt

56
00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.879
she had to tell people before about what had happened.

57
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.680
Whether this program is any good or not will depend

58
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.680
on if people enjoy watching her and being in her company.

59
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:39.479
Prince William's decision to skip former President Jimmy Carter's funeral

60
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.560
and instead celebrate Kate's forty third birthday has raised some eyebrows,

61
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.879
with royal experts questioning whether he missed an opportunity to

62
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:51.000
bolster his global profile while Prince Edward represented the royal

63
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:55.280
family in Washington, d C. Royal commentator Ingrid Seward suggested

64
00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:57.960
this move may not have been ideal for William's growing

65
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:02.400
reputation as a statesman. Of course, Americans would have preferred William,

66
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:06.240
Seward told Newsweek, adding that Edward, fourteenth in line of succession,

67
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:08.280
might have been chosen because he would have been a

68
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:13.080
teenager during Carter's presidency, potentially lending a personal connection. However,

69
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.199
William's absence from such a significant event, especially when with

70
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.920
a global audience, might be viewed as a mischance to

71
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:23.160
solidify his stature. William, who has shown enthusiasm for high

72
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.720
profile diplomatic missions, such as meeting President elect Donald trumpet

73
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.639
Notre Dame's reopening in December was notably absent from this

74
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.079
high profile stage. Seward noted it would have been a

75
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.079
good opportunity for William to go. He probably has missed

76
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.439
a trick. You can't get a bigger global stage than

77
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:43.839
Jimmy Carter's funeral today. Still, Suard dismissed any suggestion that

78
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:48.360
Kate's birthday influenced the decision. She emphasized Kate wouldn't have

79
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.639
let her birthday encroach on it. If William was meant

80
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.639
to be going, she would have said, you've got to go.

81
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:56.560
We'll take a moment here to let you wonder the

82
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:01.480
spin had Harry skipped the funeral to se Megan's birthday.

83
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.920
The Telegraph did a thorough breakdown on William's birthday message.

84
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.120
Traditionally reserved in their public displays of affection, the Royals

85
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.759
appear to be leaning into a new era of openness.

86
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.600
The accompanying black and white photograph of Kate, taken in

87
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.240
Windsor last summer, captured her elegance in quiet strength. According

88
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.519
to the Telegraph, her engagement ring is prominently featured, a

89
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.560
subtle nod to the enduring bond between the couple. Again,

90
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.040
we'll let you ponder how a monochrome photo of the

91
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.800
Duchess of Sussex showing off her ring would have been

92
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:37.079
received tell us intrigue of her right back. King Charles

93
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.360
is apparently quite particular when it comes to his sandwiches

94
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.560
and his preferences as a regal as you'd expect. A

95
00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:47.399
TikTok royal expert, matter of fact, recently revealed that what

96
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.120
goes into making the King's ideal picnic sandwiches nothing short

97
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:55.040
of precise. First, the bread, a wheat roll exactly eight

98
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.639
centimeters wide, says that your average slapdash sandwich. Every element

99
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.399
is deliberate. The role is lined with meonaise pasta in

100
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.600
a crisp layer of lettuce. The pisteries a stance, a

101
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.839
perfectly fried egg, seasoned light with salt and kept in

102
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.240
an unbroken circular shape, and a couple of thin slices

103
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:13.319
of greuey cheese for a richness. In the top half

104
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.319
of the bum gets a lavish sleather of butter and marmite,

105
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.160
before being pressed firmly together to complete the royal masterpiece.

106
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.759
The creators who recreated this sandwich for their audience were

107
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.279
pleasantly surprised by the results, rating at a solid eight

108
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.199
out of ten. They praised its unique flavors and suggested

109
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:31.800
it might taste even better if prepared by the palliser's

110
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.480
head chef. Social media users were charmed by both the

111
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:38.319
sandwich and the creators, with comments ranging from admiration for

112
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:42.279
the recipe to fascination with royal quirks like charles reported

113
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.959
habit of skipping lunch entirely. The King's sandwich is an

114
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.480
example of how even the simplest dishes can be elevated

115
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:51.480
as something extraordinary with a bit of care and attention, because,

116
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.360
of course, even a royal picnic sandwich must meet exacting standards.

117
00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:57.560
On the other hand, we'll leave you to ponder the

118
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.439
reaction if we learned Megan had an exact specific vacation

119
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.040
