Meghan Markle makes you feel like a plant being watered

0:00 Ah Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome through palace intrigue. I'm your host to Mark Francis, Meghan's PR team must not have liked the Dutchess difficult narrative. It turns out that Meghan is the nicest, kindest, cuddliest boss one could ever have. Staffers describe her as a boss who gives flowers and eggs, making staff feel like they're being watered. The positive spin was part of a counter to claim from the Hollywood reporter calling meghany dictator in high Hills who allegedly reduced grown men to tears. Meghan's team deny the report, calling it a fabrication. Mendanna Deiani, the former COO of Archwell, spoke out in support of Meghan, highlighting the kindness and humility that happens behind closed doors. In an interview with US Weekly, Dayani, who served as the organization's president for was it decades, No, it was eighteen months. Anyway, She recalled one instance when she found Meghan finishing her own makeup and steaming her jumpsuit before a royal gala.

1:07 We all toasted with a sip of champagne while Meghan danced to her favorite oldies playlist, she said. Dianie described Prince Harry and Meghan as selfless humanitarians and noted that much of their kindness has done quietly away from public view. Part of the profound injustice of having to speak publicly on this in light of these endless and damaging narratives is that so much of the kindness, mentorship, and support that Prince Harry and Meghans share with others happens quietly behind closed doors, Dianie shared. She also recalled weekly meetings at the couple's Montecito home, where Meghan would prepare the most incredible lunches snacks in her latest beautiful concoction. Now that's the Megan we all know and love. Reflecting on Meghan's humanitarian work, Dianne mentioned their trip to Uvalde, Texas, following the twenty twenty two school shooting. She explained how Meghan spent hours with grieving families, hugging them and crying with them. Throughout every global crisis, their first question was always how can we help, never asking for anything in return.

2:06 They picked up the phone, they got on airplanes, they asked questions, They did the work, diani said, she remains in contact with Meghan and planning their next lunch. These kind, decent, caring people who I am very proud to call my friends. Other staffers gave positive accounts in US Weekly, including Prince Harry's former chief of staff, Josh Kettler, whose tenure lasted decades. Sorry I mis spoke there, whose tenure lasted three months. Kittler said they were dedicated and hard working. Catherine Saint Laurent, another ex chief of staff, called her one year with them incredibly meaningful. Ashley Hansen, their global head of press, said Meghan showed her concern and care after a surgery. Well, the good vibes lasted several seconds. Meghan was called a demon with psycho moments by former employees speaking to The Daily Beast. This came right after US Weekly published the previously mentioned glowing account of her management style. One former Palace staffer said, there have been plenty of difficult Royals over the years, but Meghan's bad moments were amplified After Megsitt.

3:07 There definitely were bad, very bad, even psycho moments, recalling how people were berated in person and over the phone. But it was an incredibly fraught time. And I am inclined to give her the benefit of the doubt. Another staffer brought up Jason Now, Meghan's former press secretary, who formally complained about her in twenty eighteen. He wrote, I am very concerned that the Duchess was able to bully two PA's out of the household. He said Megan targeted one staffer seeking to undermine her confidence. An anonymous former staffer commented, she is lovely when it's all about going her way, but a demon when the worm turns. Another shared a story about a florist who was screened at by Meghan for half an hour over a minor online post about a bouquet. The florist vowed never to work with her again. Prince Harry made an adorable revelation during his appearance at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York book this week. While discussing the dangers of online harm to children, Harry pulled out his phone and shared that his lock screen features a picture of his two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. My lock screen is a picture of my kids. What's yours? Harry asked the audience, As images of young people were displayed behind him. He continued, these children and thousands more meant the world to their families.

4:20 Their beautiful faces you see before you, their smiles, their dreams, all lost, all too soon, and all because of social media. The Juke of Sussex explained that his children were part of the inspiration behind the Archibald's Foundation's Parents Network and initiative that connects families who have tragically lost their children due to the lack of safeguarding online. During his eleven minute speech, Harry stressed the need to tackle this growing crisis, highlighting the surges and anxiety and depression linked to social medium. He warned the compounding issues brought by unreliable and unfounded information, and urged for action to protect young people in the digital world. Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield spoke to gb News about Harry's New York trip. She said, Harry and Meghan last year versus this year, they had headlines like from Rolling Stone magazine Harry and Meghan in their flop era.

5:12 What they have accomplished since then is that tangible, not really anything. You know, They've had several Netflix flops. They did have their big blockbuster, but everything else has not connected with audiences. What I think we're seeing from Prince Harry New York right now was him trying to rehabilitate his image. Spare was a commercial success, but he became a punchline here in the States. He's trained to become a respected thought leader. And that's really what these visuals are in New York. And when we see Harry and Meghan on some of these tours, Palacentri will be right back. Prince William issued a stark warning about the most pressing existential threat we face in a video message to a UN General Assembly event in New York, just hours after Harry delivered a fiery speech in the same city. William called for urgent action to the world's wildlife, habitats and natural resources, which he set are buckling under the pressure of our actions. His remarks came as part of the earth Shot Innovations Summit, where he announced the finalists for his environmental earth Shot Prize. In his video, William highlighted the importance of the twenty twenty two Biodiversity Plan adopted in Montreal, emphasizing that the world has just five years to meet its goals to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by twenty thirty. He urged the global community to protect ecosystems such as rivers, ocean's forests, and the communities that depend on them, while pushing for sustainable practices and partnerships with indigenous and local communities. There had been rumors that William would be in New York at the same time as Harry, but appears that those rumors were false. Fortunately,

6:44 they will both be in the UK next week if they wish to get together. Kate held a key meeting on Tuesday as plans were made for her return to the spotlight at an event close to her heart, her annual Christmas Carol service. The meeting, which took place at Windsor Castle, focus on preparations for this year's service at Westminster Abbey.
