Meghan “Deletes” Dad’s Number as Andrew Loses Rank and Royal Lodge Gets Cleared at Night

Show Notes
Transcript

Meghan Markle is reported to have deleted Thomas Markle’s phone number and has no plans to visit him as he recovers in a Philippine hospital following a leg amputation, despite a letter said to have been hand delivered to him this week. Sources question why she will not call, while Page Six claims she has no trip planned, as the Sussexes prepare for a Montecito Christmas and an overseas New Year’s getaway. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew is stripped of his final remaining military rank, formally demoted by the Defence Council, as renewed Epstein scrutiny swirls again. The Metropolitan Police also says it will take no further action over allegations Andrew sought information about accuser Virginia Giuffre. Add in fresh reporting on Andrew’s looming exit from Royal Lodge, including a temporary “shoebox-sized” stop at Sandringham and claims of a slow, room-by-room clear-out, and it is another messy chapter for the York story.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.160
Callarogus Shark Media now and welcome to the Palace entry.

2
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.800
I am your host, Mark Francis. Megan Michael has reportedly

3
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:18.199
deleted her father, Thomas Mikle's phone number and has made

4
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.519
no plans to visit him, despite his ongoing recovery in

5
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.839
a hospital in the Philippines following a leg amputation. The

6
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:28.600
latest development comes after reports earlier this week that Meghan

7
00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:31.239
sent a letter to be hand delivered to Thomas Mirkel

8
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.280
at the hospital. The letter is understood to have outlined

9
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:37.520
her feelings about his decision to give several media interviews

10
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.320
discussing their estranged relationship, with the expectation that the correspondence

11
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:46.759
would remain private. According to The Sunday Times, Meghan chose

12
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.759
not to contact her father directly by telephone because of

13
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:52.960
concerns that a call could be overheard in the hospital.

14
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:55.560
At the time of recording. It is understood that she

15
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.399
has not received a reply to the letter and has

16
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.439
had no further contact with her her father since it

17
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.959
was delivered. Page six claimed. Sources close to Meghan confirmed

18
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:09.680
she has no plans to visit him. Others familiar with

19
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:13.560
the situation questioned why she had not traveled to see him,

20
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:16.480
noting the fifteen hour journey from Los Angeles to the

21
00:01:16.480 --> 00:01:20.519
Philippines and pointing out her history of private travel. One

22
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.719
source said, if she knows where he is, why wouldn't

23
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:27.040
she go see him. Another added, Meghan had her father's

24
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.799
number and room and hospital name very early on. She

25
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:33.239
won't even call him amid the family tension, Meghan and

26
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:36.359
Prince Harry will spend Christmas at their home in Montecito

27
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.879
with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, and Meghan's

28
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:44.120
mother Doria Ragland. They are expected to travel abroad with

29
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.920
friends for a luxury New Year's holiday. As in recent years,

30
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.719
they will not join the wider royal family at Sandringham.

31
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:56.879
Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been stripped of his final remaining

32
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:01.040
military rank, marking another significant setback for the disgraced former

33
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.519
Duke of York. Following a meeting of the Defense Council,

34
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.280
it has been confirmed that Andrew has been formally demoted

35
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:11.159
from Vice Admiral to commander, the rank he held at

36
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:14.360
the time of his retirement from the Royal Navy. Royal

37
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.639
expert Ingrid Seward described the decision as deeply damaging for Andrew.

38
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:19.919
Speaking to the son, she said it is a huge

39
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.759
blow because he thinks of himself as an armed forces man.

40
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:26.280
He served very bravely in the Falklands. I think the service,

41
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:28.840
being in the Navy has been the most stable thing

42
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.439
in his life. He'll be very hurt by that. He

43
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.039
might feel that enough is enough and they're really digging

44
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.479
at him now. This might hurt quite a lot more

45
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.039
than some of the other things he's lost, because he

46
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.439
will feel he has earned the right to the ranking.

47
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:46.000
He may well be better. Andrew was photographed riding his

48
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:49.319
horse near Windsor Castle in Berkshire, appeared relaxed and smiling,

49
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.680
just hours after new images released by the United States

50
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:57.120
Congress resurfaced showing Jeffrey Epstein alongside a number of powerful

51
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.879
figures including President Trump, Bill Cington, Bill Gates and Richard Branson.

52
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.159
Despite the renewed controversy, the sixty five year old appeared

53
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.639
in good spirits during the morning ride and was also

54
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.000
seen waving to one of his drivers. The Metropolitan Police

55
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.120
has said it will take no further action over allegations

56
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.639
that Andrew asked a police protection officer to obtain information

57
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:22.479
about his accuser, Virginia Jeffrey. The claims, first reported by

58
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.560
The Mail on Sunday in October, alleged that the then

59
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:28.520
Prince Andrew provided the officer with Miss Jeffrey's date of

60
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:32.479
birth and social Security number, shortly before a photograph of

61
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.240
the pair together was published in February twenty eleven. In

62
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.439
a statement issued on Saturday, the Metropolitan Police said the

63
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.639
met remains committed to thoroughly assessing any new information that

64
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.599
could assist in this matter. To date, we have not

65
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:49.479
received any additional evidence that would support reopening the investigation.

66
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.240
In the absence of any further information, we will be

67
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.759
taking no further action, as with any other matter, Should

68
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.879
new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including

69
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.800
any information result from the release of material in the US,

70
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:06.360
we will assess it. Andrew is expected to move into

71
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.680
a temporary property on the Sandringham estate when he vacates

72
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.680
Royal Lodge in the new year. According to sources speaking

73
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:15.080
to The Mail on Sunday, the former Duke of York

74
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:18.279
is said to exchange his thirty room Windsor mansion for

75
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.920
what has been described as a shoe box sized holding

76
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:26.120
property on a remote part of the King's private Norfolk estate.

77
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.079
While the house he will eventually occupy at Sandringham is

78
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.600
said to be undergoing extensive renovations and is expected to

79
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:37.399
be a substantial home, it will still be significantly smaller

80
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:41.319
than Royal Lodge. However, friends of Andrew suggest that even

81
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:44.360
that arrangement may not be permanent. Sources say it is

82
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.439
unlikely he will remain based in Norfolk long term, with

83
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:50.199
speculation that he could eventually relocate to the Middle East,

84
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:54.120
where he is said to have long established business contacts.

85
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.680
Bahrain is believed by some to be his preferred destination.

86
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.959
The development's commerce. Royal Aids have reportedly begun clearing Royal

87
00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.839
Lodge ahead of Andrew's departure next year. Sources say items

88
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:07.959
have been removed under the cover of darkness, with a

89
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:12.240
Royal Household lorry transporting belongings to a Crown of State

90
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:16.560
storage facility in Windsor last week. One of the main

91
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.759
factors delaying Andrew's move is said to be the condition

92
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:23.079
of Royal Lodge itself. Sources described the property as dilapidated

93
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:26.439
and say it is filled with clutter, With Andrew reportedly

94
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.879
reluctant to accept help In sorting through his possessions, he

95
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.120
is described as a natural hoarder, with some rooms said

96
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.360
to be stacked flawed to ceiling with documents and photographs.

97
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.439
According to sources, as much as eighty percent of his

98
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:41.920
belongings will need to be removed. Some items are said

99
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.519
to require careful handling, while others relating to royal history

100
00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:50.439
may need professional archiving. One source said a lorry has

101
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.399
been and gone under the cover of darkness. Andrew is

102
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.759
going to a shoebox size house compared to a royal lodge,

103
00:05:56.759 --> 00:05:59.040
So a lot of things that were taken are going

104
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:02.399
into a story unit. The clutter at royal Lodge. It's

105
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.040
turning what should be a straightforward move into a month's

106
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.800
long room by room excavation. It's all going painfully slow,

107
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.399
especially with refurbishment work to complete at the other end.

108
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.040
These aren't the kind of belongings you can sweep into

109
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:17.839
a skip. Even if Andrew wanted to move tomorrow, he

110
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:25.800
couldn't more palace in just a moment. Hey, getting tired

intrig We really appreciate your support. King Charles and Queen

122
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.279
ca Milam have issued a heartfelt message following a deadly

123
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.040
attack at Bundai Beach in Australium, where police say twelve

124
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.279
people were killed during a shooting the targeted members of

125
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:12.199
the Jewish community attending a Hanukah event. In a statement

126
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.720
released on Sunday, the King said, my wife and I

127
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:18.000
are appalled and saddened by the most dreadful anti Semitic

128
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:21.600
terrorist attack on Jewish people attending the Hanuka celebration at

129
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:24.480
Bondai Beach. Our hearts go out to everyone who has

130
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.360
been affected so dreadfully, including the police officers who were

131
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.519
injured while protecting members of their community. We commend the police,

132
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.839
emergency services and members of the public whose heroic actions

133
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:38.920
no doubt prevented even greater horror and tragedy. In times

134
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.680
of hurt, Australians always rally together in unity and resolve.

135
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.199
I know that the spirit of community and love that

136
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:46.839
shines so brightly in Australia, and the light at the

137
00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.519
heart of the Hunuker Festival, will always triumph over the

138
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.920
darkness of such evil. The Prince and Princess of Wales

139
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.879
also share their condolences, saying our thoughts are with every

140
00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.240
Australian today following the terrible attack at Bonde Beach. We

141
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.839
extend our teas condolences to the families and friends of

142
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:03.959
those who have lost their lives, and stand with the

143
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.759
Jewish community in grief. We are also thinking about the

144
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:11.120
bravery of the emergency responders, particularly the two injured officers

145
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.879
W and C and you read postbox featuring the cipher

146
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.399
of King Charles the Third has been gifted to staff

147
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:23.399
at a remote British research station in Antarctica. The Royal

148
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:27.319
Mail Lamp postbox has been sent to the British Antarctic

149
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:31.160
Survey Station at Row there following a request from station

150
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.240
support assistant Kristin Shaw, who runs the British Antarctic Territory

151
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:38.080
Post Office for staff. She'd asked for an upgrade to

152
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:42.360
the handmade postbox previously in use. Speaking about the importance

153
00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.679
of post in such an isolated environment, Miss Shaw said,

154
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:49.080
being in Antarctica is incredible, but it's full of extremes,

155
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:51.320
so I think it's a special thing to send posts

156
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:54.679
back home to communicate your experiences. It's a moment of

157
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.799
your life that you put down on paper and give

158
00:08:56.879 --> 00:08:59.759
to someone else. Getting post is really special for the

159
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.279
ti Emai at road there. If you're doing field work

160
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.639
for many months, the feeling of receiving a letter, an

161
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.600
actual tangible piece of paper with handwriting from friends and

162
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.159
