00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.359
Caloroga Shark Media, Hello and Welcome through Palace. In tree Game,
2
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.920
host Mark Francis, Meghan at Sussex is playfully put to
3
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.839
rest rumors of a supposed feud with actress Gwyneth Paltrow
4
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:25.199
appearing in one of the Goup founder's Instagram videos with
5
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:28.519
a wink and a laugh. In the clip, Paltrow responds
6
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.879
to a fan question about the alleged tension between the
7
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.719
two by turning to the camera and saying, I genuinely
8
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:36.359
do not understand this at all. Do you understand this?
9
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.200
Then she pans over to Megan, who is seated beside
10
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.240
her at the kitchen table, shrugging with a amused expression.
11
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:47.000
The pair then burst into laughter. The lighthearted moment comes
12
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.560
after an online speculation the Paltrow had taken a swipe
13
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.079
at Meghan in a recent video, which featured the Oscar
14
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:55.920
winner preparing breakfast in a tone and esthetic strikingly similar
15
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.200
to the Duchesses Now Infamous with Love Megan cooking segment
16
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.920
from her Netflix docuseries. The breakfast video was widely seen
17
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.120
as a parody, prompting online chatter about whether Paul Trowe
18
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.879
was joining the growing celebrity class who've poked fund the
19
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.760
Sussexes instead. The video appears to suggest quite the opposite,
20
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.840
with Megan and Gwyneth showing a united front over mugs
21
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.040
and musselei. The moment comes amid a fresh round of
22
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.040
publicity for the Duchess, who this week unveiled the trailer
23
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:27.439
for her mildly anticipated new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder,
24
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:31.680
promising advice for aspiring entrepreneurs and girl talk with high
25
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.840
profile guests. The podcast launches on April eighth, and we
26
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.079
can't wait. Although we hope the folks at her new
27
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:43.640
podcasting company can solve the tech issue. The Express reports
28
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.640
Confessions of a Female Founder faced a technical error. It
29
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.920
seems that after thirty minutes of its launch, it became
30
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.400
unavailable to listeners. The outage preempt at interested podcast consumers
31
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.560
from hearing Meghan explain. I'm Megan and this is Confessions
32
00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.840
of a Female Founder, the show where I chat with
33
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:04.040
female entrepreneurs and friends about the sleepless nights, the lessons learned,
34
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.120
and the lays of focus that got them to where
35
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.240
they are today. We're diving into the eyes and the
36
00:02:09.280 --> 00:02:12.439
lows and the kind of advice that turns small ideas
37
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.560
into billion dollar businesses, and of course we're going to
38
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.479
get some girl talk. All this overshadows Prince Harry stepping
39
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.759
down from Center Bali, the African children's charity he co
40
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.919
founded in two thousand and six and memory of his mother,
41
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:28.120
Princess Diana, stating a breakdown in relations that he described
42
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.840
as devastating. In a dramatic and highly unusual move, the
43
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:35.439
Duke of Sussex and his co founder, Prince Ciiso of Lesotho,
44
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:39.240
resigned in solidarity with the board of trustees, who have
45
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:43.560
themselves quit amid a fierce internal row with the charity's chair,
46
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:48.400
doctor Sophie Chanduka. This dispute reportedly centered on a strategic
47
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.479
decision to focus fundraising efforts in Africa. Multiple trustees, including
48
00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:56.439
Harry's longtime friend and former Royal equerry Mark Dayer, called
49
00:02:56.479 --> 00:03:01.560
for doctor Chanduka's resignation. She refused response the trustees resigned.
50
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.719
According to reports, she is now pursuing legal action against
51
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.599
the charity after resisting efforts to remove her from the
52
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:12.439
unpaid post. In appointed joint statement, the two princes said,
53
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.479
nearly twenty years ago, we founded Center Bali in honor
54
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.319
of our mothers today is no different. With heavy hearts,
55
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.360
we have resigned from our roles as patrons. It is
56
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.759
devastating that the relationship between the charities trustees and the
57
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:27.639
Chair of the Board broke down beyond repair, creating an
58
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.319
untenable situation. They added that they were in shock over
59
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.639
the turn of events and will raise their concerns with
60
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:38.199
the Charity Commission. Doctor Chandalca, for her part, struck back
61
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.599
in her own strongly worded statement, appearing to criticize Prince
62
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.360
Harry directly. There are people in this world who behave
63
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.479
as though they are above the law and mistreat people
64
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:49.280
and then play the victim card and use the very
65
00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:52.520
pressly disdain to harm people who have the courage to
66
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:56.000
challenge their conduct, she said. She further claimed that beneath
67
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:58.759
all the victim narrative and fiction is the story of
68
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.120
a woman who dared to blow them whistle about issues
69
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:07.000
of poor governance, weak executive management, abuse of power, bullying, harassment, misogyny,
70
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:10.680
mis sojournoire and the cover up that ensued. Doctor Chandalca
71
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.879
said she had reported the matter to the Charity Commission
72
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.680
and secured an emergency injunction from the High Court to
73
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.639
block her removal. The departing trustees released their own joint
74
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:23.279
statement expressing their sadness. Today's decision is nothing short of
75
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:25.519
devastating for all of us, but we see no other
76
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.199
path forward. It's desperately sad. The breakdown and relationship escalated
77
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.040
to a lawsuit by the chair against the charity. They
78
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.639
said they could not in good conscience allow Center Bali
79
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.319
to be burdened with the financial costs of the dispute.
80
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.240
Harry's connection to Santa Bali has long been personal. He
81
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.319
first visited Lesotho in two thousand and four during his
82
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.519
gap year, a trip that moved in deeply. Two years later,
83
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.680
he and Prince Ciso launched Center Bali to support children
84
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:53.160
affected by poverty in HIV. Most recently, Harry returned to
85
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.680
Losotho last October, where he praised the charity's work and
86
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.279
said it was making a massive difference. Notably, he was
87
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:04.360
photographed with doctor Chandalka just months earlier at a charity
88
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.920
Polgo match in Florida. In a curious bit of timing,
89
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.920
Meghan took to Instagram to promote a new charitable campaign
90
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.240
just hours after Harry announced he was stepping away from Center,
91
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.680
Bali Meghan shared a message of support for another cause,
92
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:22.240
altogether proudly supporting at Alliance of Mums and the powerful
93
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:24.839
work they do to support mums and their children. Read
94
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:28.079
her caption, posted alongside her summaren image of the Duchess
95
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:30.519
posing with her dog. She went on to praise the
96
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:34.240
group's co founder, Well done at heart, Mum for your
97
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.319
selfless love of so many. The world is better with
98
00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.120
you in it. The post coincided with the launch of
99
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.279
the new line of Mother's Day t shirts from Alliance
100
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.920
of Mums, raising funds for young mothers in Los Angeles
101
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.879
Foster Care System. The charities founder, Kelly McKee zefchn is
102
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:52.199
known to be a close friend of the Duchess More
103
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:59.120
Palace in Just a Moment, comedy fans may remember the
104
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:03.160
late Mitch Heedburg. This weekend marks twenty years since Hebburg
105
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:07.279
passed away, and our sister podcast, Daily Comedy News is
106
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:11.480
celebrating the life of Mitch Hebburg with special episodes this weekend.

this show, John McDermott Johnny mack as we call him affectionately,
110
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.000
so check it out Daily Comedy News. Prince William has
111
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.920
been the target of an extraordinary and deeply troubling threat
112
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.959
from a senior Russian official following his recent visit to Estonia,
113
00:06:30.040 --> 00:06:33.720
where he took part in military exercises near the Russian border.
114
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:38.879
Dmitri Ragoulson, a former deputy Prime Minister under Vladimir Putin
115
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.160
and current head of a Kremlin linked military drone unit,
116
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.680
posted a threatening message online alongside a photograph of the
117
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:48.360
Prince of Wales during the visit. This is a great
118
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:52.199
target for my drone pilots, Ragozen wrote. He added ominously,
119
00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:55.120
we haven't yet zeroed out the air to the throne.
120
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.800
If he gets into our sites, we won't stand on ceremony.
121
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:03.160
William has added a meaningful new role to his growing portfolio,
122
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:07.240
becoming patron of We Are Farming Mines, a Herefordshire base
123
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.879
charity focused on mental health support for the farming community.
124
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.399
The announcement came during a visit to Bristol on Wednesday,
125
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:15.360
where the Prince of Wales, known locally as the Duke
126
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.639
of Cornwall, met with the next generation of Duchy of
127
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:22.480
Cornwall farming tenants joining him at the event where farming
128
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:26.560
consultant Charlie Ireland and Caleb Cooper, the straight talking star
129
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:29.720
of Clarkson's Farm as William engaged with young farmers preparing
130
00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:32.399
to carry the industry forward. The visit placed a strong
131
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.600
emphasis on mental well being in rural life, a cause
132
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:38.319
close to the Prince's heart. He sat down for a
133
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.199
candid conversation with charity found at Sam Stables and Duchy
134
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:44.720
Farming Family Ambassador at Sue Padfield to discuss the particular
135
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:49.079
challenges faced by agricultural workers. The charity was born out
136
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:52.560
of lived experience, said Stables, who founded We Are Farming
137
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:55.319
Mines with his wife Emily after their own struggles with
138
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.959
mental health. The organization now provides counseling, a twenty four
139
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.879
