0:00 Ah Calorougus Shark Media that hello and welcome through palace intrigue, I'm your host, Mark Francis. Harry and Meghan marked their eighth wedding anniversary on Monday by releasing a collection of previously unseen photographs from their May nineteen, twenty eighteen wedding at Saint George's Chapel Windsor, the same chapel now closely associated with the family they no longer formerly belonged to. The images posted across both Meghan's personal Instagram and the couple's Archball account include candid black and white shots from the ceremony, dancing in a passionate kiss at the Frogmore House evening reception, and behind the scenes moments including Harry kissing Meghan's hand before the service. Meghan captioned one post simply eight years ago today, thanking photographer Chris Allerton. Another read eight years still us, still so grateful. The most quietly notable detail is one photograph showing King Chu alongside Harry and Meghan behind the scenes, believed to be from the moment before he walked Meghan down the aisle. It marks the first time Meghan has included the King in an Instagram post since relaunching her account in twenty twenty five.

1:14 Meghan's solo appearance in Geneva was not, according to those close to the couple, a matter of scheduling. It was choice insideers tell rob shooters naughty but nice. That Harry's absence from the lost screen memorial unveiling was entirely intentional, with one source saying bluntly, this was Megan's moment. She knew the second Harry walked into the room the conversation would shift away from her. According to the same report, Meghan worked closely with advisers, speechwriters, and stylists ahead of the appearance, which she is said to have viewed as a rare opportunity to establish herself as an independent global figure, separate from both the monarchy and her husband. Whenever Harry appears beside her, everything becomes about royal drama. Another source explained Meghan wanted the spotlight on her work. Harry, for his part, is said to have supported the plan entirely.

2:03 Whether Geneva delivered the reset Meghan was looking for remains as always a matter of which headlines you read first. Meghan is also reportedly open to returning to the world of Suits as speculation continues about a possible reunion project tied to the hit legal drama. According to Rada Online, Meghan is said to view a potential Suit's revival or film as an opportunity to rebuild public goodwill while also securing a major payday Once so was claimed, Megan knows a reunion movie would be an easy win for her in terms of visibility in rebuilding public good will, plus the huge payday she could likely negotiate as a major incentive. Meghan starred as Rachel Zane on the USA Network series for seven seasons before leaving the show ahead of her marriage to Prince Ariy in twenty eighteen. The series later found renewed success on Netflix, becoming one of the platform's biggest streaming hits in twenty twenty three. Show creator Aaron Korsch has previously hinted at the possibility of re visiting the franchise, saying we might do a Suits movie that could be fun. However, a source alleged Harry is very turned off by Hollywood and has this view that it's beneath Meghan now. He doesn't understand why she'd want to go backwards and when she's supposed to be focusing on bigger, more meaningful things. Megan reportedly has no plans to see her father now that he has returned to the United States following his leg amputation, a source told Rida Online.

3:24 For many observers, this moment feels like a turning point. Thomas elderly. He has undergone a serious life altering surgery, and yet there's still no sign of a reconciliation. People are questioning how Meghan can continue to keep such a distance when the circumstances are so stark. There is a perception that this is one of the most difficult chapters in their relationship and the most brutal family move Megan has ever made. She has no plans to see her a strange father despite his ill health. Royal author Hugo Vickers observed to gb News that Harry was never introduced to his father in law and question why that might have been the case. Vickers said, I think more likely she was nervous that he might say something to Prince Harry. He was good to her when she was growing up.

4:04 If you listen to what he says as opposed to how his words are reported, you will find a decent man who must feel extremely let down. It was in fact a member of Prince Harry's family who suggested that she might have been nervous of what he might say. Might Meghan actually like all the gossip about her, Well, we certainly do, a source tells Radar Online. A lot of people believe Meghan actively courts controversy because she understands the reaction it generates and the attention it brings. Another insider added, one of the biggest sticking points for Kate is the belief that Meghan still trades heavily on her royal state as while as refusing to respect many of the traditions and responsibilities that come with it. Meghan reportedly remained interested in receiving luxury designer gifts even after joining the royal family, according to claims made by author Tina Brown in the Palace Papers Inside the House of Windsor The Truth and the Turmoil. Brown claims Meghan had developed a reputation among the marketers of luxury brands of being warmly interested in receiving bag of designer swag. According to the book, even after the royal wedding, someone from Megan's team allegedly contacted a publicist to make clear that gifts were still welcome. Brown wrote that the message said, make sure the publicist knows that she can still send me anything.

5:15 The note reportedly added, She's always been one of the good ones. Harry is reportedly sadden that his children are growing up far from the wider royal family after seeing new birthday photographs released for Princess Charlotte. According to a friend quoted by Daily Mail columnist Richard Eden, Harry has been reflecting on the difference between life and California for his children and the close knit family environment enjoyed by the Wales children in Britain. The friend said, Archie and Lily now having a lovely time in California, but Harry is very sad that they are missing out on life with the rest of their family. Harry feels his children are missing out on an extensive family network that their cousins are enjoying. According to the report, Harry also hopes Prince Archie and Princess little Bit will eventually enjoy the same kind of education and lifelong friendships he experienced Volty in Ludgrove and Eden. The friend claimed he has retained his closest friendship group of confidence from his days at school that Ludgrove and Eton. He wants that for his own children. It's Go and News Australia host Dnaka de Giorgio said. Prince Harry is reportedly very sad that Prince Archie and Princess Lila Bit are missing out on life for the rest of their family and the extensive network when the cousins are enjoying while his children aren't. I don't know what this spoiled brat expects. What did he expect when he uprooted his family and went to live in Montecito and constantly slams the royal family. I don't think he realizes how daft he really is. The guy is low IQ is not the sharpest tool that shared well palasing just a moment. Megan is reportedly upset after

6:46 the Irwin family publicly praised William and Kate for helping name a baby kangaroo at Australia Zoo. In a video shared online, Robert Erwin said, I'm very proud to announce it. My friends. The Wales family helped us name our beautiful new Joey, our new joe. His name is Quitch, which is Welsh for cuddle, the absolute perfect name for a joey kangaroo. I want to say a particular thank you to Prince George, Prince Louian, Princess Charlotte for your help in finding this little one a brilliant name. The public tribute reportedly did not go down well in Montecito. One source told Radar Online Harry and Meghan were very interested in meeting the Owens because of their shared interest in conservation work, but the feeling was that the family's loyalties were firmly with William and Catherine. Meghan has taken the kangaroo naming story as another very public reminder of where those allegiances lie and is hopping with rage as a result.

7:34 We see what you did there. Another source said, it's not really about the kangaroo itself. It's the symbolism of it all, the glowing public praise for William and Catherine and the sense that Harry and Meghan were never embraced in the same way despite trying to build connections in Australia. Robert Erwin also used the video to praise the Wales family commitment to conservation and wildlife protection. He said, it's so important that we can serve all of our animals, including the icons, the kangaroos, with all of the animals that we support, all the wildlife conversation efforts that we have around the world. It's about making sure we give back to the wildlife and the wild places where they live. Meghan reportedly underwent what Inside has described as anti diva training ahead of the Australia trip, with a source telling Radar Online, Megan was painfully aware going into Australia that accusations about her being demand and controlling or difficulty continued to follow her ever since she stepped away from royal duties.

8:26 She understood that this tour would be judged not just on appearances or headlines, but on whether people felt she came across as approachable, warm, and genuinely engaged. Huge amounts of time and money were invested into preparation sessions, covering every conceivable detail how she greeted people, how long she held conversations, what subjects she raised publicly, even the emotional tone she projected during appearances. Advisers were intensely focused on making sure she appeared polished, but relatable, glamorous, but grounded in his free subsetec royal inside of deep crown rights. What unites these stories the Kangaroo, the val renule, the documentary, the anti ideava coaching that apparently pre seeded the Australian visit is a consistent pattern. Every personal moment is also a professional calculation. Every private milestone is also a potential platform.

9:14 There is nothing inherently wrong with this, one supposes, in a world where personal narrative has become a form of currency. But it does produce, for those of us observing from a distance, a certain weariness. One finds oneself unable to evaluate anything that Sussexes do on its own terms, because its own terms, and there entirely what they appear to be. The Kangaroo, at least, it seems to have emerged from the whole business with its dignity intact. One envies that, and they have it.
