00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.679
Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to you, Palace Intrigue.
2
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:16.199
I am your host, Mark Francis. On this Thanksgiving, let
3
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:19.120
us heed the words of Meghan Markel, now the seventeenth
4
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:22.320
most popular royal according to a new survey. Meghan tells
5
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:24.679
us to just think about how you'd want someone to
6
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:27.199
treat you. How would you want someone to open their
7
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.760
arms to you. Samantha Mikael told The Daily Mail, when
8
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.240
my dad goes, it will be too late. You can't
9
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:37.280
get back that time. It leaves a hole in your heart.
10
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:39.759
My dad doesn't want Megan to pay him back, but
11
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.039
you want love from them because there is pain in
12
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:45.240
your heart if it isn't there. Earlier in the week,
13
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.240
Meghan hosted an intimate dinner for Afghan women resettling in
14
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:53.119
California as part of Archwall Foundation's Welcome Project, and she
15
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.240
didn't just talk about the holidays, she embodied the spirit
16
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:59.520
of them. Meghan said, from my standpoint, I think part
17
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:01.520
of why we wanted to make sure we had this
18
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.560
opportunity to all be together again so many of us
19
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:06.680
right now is that the holidays come up and have
20
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.280
already begun. In many regards, it brings up so much
21
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:12.439
emotion for people. You miss home, you miss your country,
22
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:15.000
and you also find comfort in the new community that
23
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.959
you have here. I am grateful that we are able
24
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:21.879
to be part of that community. Megan discussed the power
25
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:24.760
of stories and connections, saying, all of you have stories
26
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:26.959
to tell. The power of you telling them and sharing
27
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:29.760
them with each other without broader community is what will
28
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.680
help propel the change that I think we all dream of,
29
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.680
that you see and hear in the poems that we
30
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.920
just listened to. The designer Dog Biscuits and jam Entrepreneur
31
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.400
described the Welcome Project as the perfect example of seeing
32
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:45.200
an immediate need and then saying, Okay, how do you
33
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:47.400
make this a much larger vision so it's not just
34
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:50.000
a short term banding on a problem, but a long
35
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:54.400
term solution. The sometimes podcaster expressed admiration for the women
36
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.760
who have faced extraordinary challenges. It was rewarding to see
37
00:01:57.760 --> 00:01:59.400
women on the other side of what has been a
38
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.680
really hard time for many of them, more than most
39
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:06.040
can imagine. Referencing a mother and son recently reunited, she
40
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:09.280
reflected as a maham, can you imagine not being able
41
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.159
to see your child? The star of the upcoming Netflix
42
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:16.080
cooking show also discussed the shared joy of discovering traditions.
43
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.800
Whatever cultures are different, whatever traditions are different, There's actually
44
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.159
so much we have in common. There's a lot of
45
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.400
joy in discovering each other's new rituals too. You find
46
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.599
comfort in things you know, but you find so much
47
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:30.120
community and connection and things you don't know as well,
48
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.080
Meghan said. The Sussexes are always pretty low key on Thanksgiving,
49
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:39.039
for example, last year, when they hosted Gloria Steinem William
50
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.719
praised a young woman in Newport for her resilience after
51
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.560
she shared her story of loss and perseverance. During his
52
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.120
visit to tackle homelessness, the Prince met Rebecca, a thirty
53
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.199
two year old care assistant at the Nelson Trust, a
54
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:55.400
support service for vulnerable women in Wales and surrounding areas.
55
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.960
Rebecca spoke of her difficult journey, including time spent in
56
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:02.280
foster care, living the streets at sixteen, and struggling with
57
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.039
the loss of her partner and father. Despite these challenges,
58
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.439
she told the Prince she was proud of who she
59
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.599
had become, now focusing on raising her two daughters and
60
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.960
making happiness without money. The Prince was visibly moved, telling her,
61
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.280
you seem like a force of nature. Rebecca. We need
62
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:19.800
more rebeccas in the world. You have been through more
63
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.280
things than most people go through in their entire lifetime.
64
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.199
I'm not sure I would have come out on the
65
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:26.719
other side like you. He added that she should be
66
00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:30.520
so proud of herself. Rebecca hopes to use her experiences
67
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.840
to support other lost teenagers and inspire them to find
68
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.360
their way. During his visit, William urged local business leaders
69
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.080
and charity representatives to take bold, innovative approaches. I can
70
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:45.199
be the slight disruptor here and say to you all
71
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.319
to think very differently outside the box, because this is
72
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.479
unique what you're doing. Let's be really ambitious and almost
73
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:53.719
throw the paperwork up in the air and see how
74
00:03:53.759 --> 00:04:00.319
it lands pellus in drinker it right back. The Meghan
75
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.080
ranked fourth in a recent Express poll asking readers to
76
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.520
name their favorite royal couple, leading the poll by a
77
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:09.800
significant margin, where William and Kate, who secured forty nine
78
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.680
thousand votes, solidifying their position as the most popular royal couple.
79
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.199
King Charles and quin Camilla followed in second place with
80
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.560
forty five hundred votes. While Prince Edwin and Sophie, Duchess
81
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:23.000
of Edinburgh rounded out the top three with thirty nine hundred.
82
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.560
The Sussexes did outperform other royal couples, including Zara and
83
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:29.519
Mike Tindall, who came in fifth with thirty eight hundred.
84
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.600
Princess Anne and Sir Tim Lawrence, Princess Beatrice Eduardo Macbalimozzi,
85
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:37.720
and Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank trailed further down the rankings.
86
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:41.439
Public interest in royal disclosures is undeniable, but the poll
87
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:46.240
reflects growing support for royals addressing broader societal issues. Nearly
88
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.959
eighty percent of respondents said they wanted to hear more
89
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:51.680
or at least the same amount of topics like homelessness,
90
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:56.240
to mestic violence, and environmental causes. Similarly, forty three percent
91
00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:00.160
believe the monarchy should increase efforts to promote charitable work,
92
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.319
with another forty percent thinking the current approach is just right.
93
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.439
A different survey was less hopeful for the Sussexes. According
94
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:10.120
to the latest quarterly data from polling agency you Go,
95
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.519
Megan Markle has dropped to seventeenth on the list of
96
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.480
the most popular members of the British royal family. This
97
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.399
places her just behind Princess Alexandra, who we had to
98
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:22.800
google and learned is the only daughter of Prince George, no,
99
00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.120
not that one, the Duke of Kent, and Princess Marina
100
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.759
of Greece and Denmark. She is a granddaughter of George
101
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.079
the fifth niece of Edward the eighth and George the
102
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.279
sixth and first cousin of Elizabeth the second. There you
