Today is the day Meghan Markle’s mildly anticipated new podcast makes it debut. Pop culture podcaster Zack Peter asked: "What era are we in? Is this 2016? First she gave us her Pinterest cooking show on Netflix from like 2015 and she just jumped a year ahead into this hashtag girl boss era where she's going to launch yet another podcast that's not that different from Archetypes.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.320
Calorogu Shark Media, Hello and welcome through Palace Intrigue Game,

2
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.879
your host Mark for answers. Today is the day Megan

3
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:22.960
Markle's mildly anticipated new podcast makes its debut. Pop culture

4
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:26.839
podcaster Zach Peter asked, what era are we in? Is

5
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:30.079
this twenty sixteen? First, she gave us her Pinterest cooking

6
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.359
show on Netflix from like twenty fifteen, and she jumped

7
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.280
a year ahead into this hashtag girl boss era where

8
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.320
she's going to launch yet another podcast that's not that

9
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:43.479
different from archetypes. Listen, I'm not trying to hate on this, lady,

10
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.600
but it's overexposure at this point, and the audience already

11
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.960
finds you a bit insufferable. The Express shared the real

12
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:55.159
reason began Marco was launching a new podcast after Spotify's failure,

13
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.000
which we just assumed was that Meghan likes money, but

14
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.439
apparently we were wrong. Our expert ray of Freeman tells

15
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:04.200
The Express, I feel like the new podcast aligns well

16
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.599
with the launch of her new brand and also her

17
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:10.480
as a businesswoman in her own right, although she's clearly

18
00:01:10.519 --> 00:01:14.000
been this for many years. When people introduce physical products

19
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.519
or services, people see them as business people. In a

20
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:20.000
different way. By tapping into her journey and aligning with

21
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:22.719
the female founders who are no doubt well no one,

22
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:26.079
Meghan is placing herself in a different position. Tied to this,

23
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.879
there continues to be growth in the female founder space

24
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.120
when it comes to a visibility point of view. So

25
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:34.159
I think this podcast is a real symbol of where

26
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.560
Megan is now, where she wants to be in what's

27
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.400
going on in the world at the moment. Well, that

28
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:43.159
and the money. We'll be recapping the episodes for you,

29
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:45.159
as we know you were very busy and might not

30
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.760
have the time to take all of Meghan's podcast in

31
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:52.319
We're here for you. In a charming gesture that suggests

32
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:54.719
Megan may have a soft spot for those who speak

33
00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.400
up on her behalf the duchess of affiliate marketing is

34
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.879
center rather taste will thank you to Podcasts host Amanda

35
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.640
hirsh Hersh, who helms the popular Not Skinny but Not

36
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.159
Fat podcast, had recently expressed concern over the online backlash

37
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.080
Meghan might face with her recent Netflix venture. Now it

38
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:15.199
seems Megan is returning kindness with jam or at least

39
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.840
something that may legally be fruit spread. We haven't tasted it.

40
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.240
To be sure. You have to guess what package I

41
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.039
just got, Hirsch told her Instagram followers. In the video

42
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.599
posted April fourth, she hold up an envelope bearing distinctive,

43
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:31.400
flowing handwriting. I cannot believe it does the handwriting ring

44
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.639
a bell. Indeed it did. The envelope was addressed and

45
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:38.199
Megan's signature calligraphy, and inside a wooden box tied with

46
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:41.479
a burlap ribbon was a selection of teas, biscuits, crackers,

47
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:45.560
and Meghan's very own as Ever raspberry jam. Said Hirsh,

48
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:48.479
this is the next step in our relationship. First a letter,

49
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:53.759
then jam and or fruit spread. Jamgate could potentially overshadow

50
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.280
the release of today's mildly anticipated new podcast. The Daily

51
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.120
Mail did a thorough investigation of the Fruity Tapeting concoction,

52
00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:03.879
which retails for ten pounds eighty and sold out within

53
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:06.840
thirty minutes of its launch. That's not a spread or

54
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:09.800
a jam or a jelly. It's goopy and runny, complained

55
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.360
one user online, and another remarked, is the reason Megan

56
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.680
calls it spread because it's so runny? The answer, it seems,

57
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:20.479
is yes, as Ever's a Raspberry offering is officially a spread,

58
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:24.240
not a jam, a distinction with regulatory teeth. According to

59
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.400
the FDA guidelines, jam must contain at least forty five

60
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.639
percent fruit and fifty five percent sugar. Megan's version made

61
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.120
with raspberries, organic pure keene sugar, organic lemon juice concentrate,

62
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:38.719
and fruit pect and apparently does not meet the threshold.

63
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.599
Someone will need to break the news to podcaster Amanda hersh.

64
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.319
Rather than shy away from the issue, the Dutches herself

65
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.120
address the texture directly on the as Ever website, writing

66
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.879
that the spread is crafted with a fluid texture so

67
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:55.680
it can be drizzled, spread poured, and enjoyed for so

68
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.520
much more than your morning toast if you missed out

69
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.479
on ordering when they sold out fruit spread, The Daily

70
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.960
Mail recaps the magical moment when the spread arrives at

71
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.759
your door. They write, on Saturday morning, we unboxed Meghan's

72
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:12.039
seemingly covetable raspberry spread, which arrived at a small box

73
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.120
from FedEx. Upon opening, we found a hand written note

74
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.879
from Meghan herself right on top, printed on a thick

75
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.199
postcard with her as Ever branding stamped in gold foil.

76
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:24.079
When you flip the card around. There's a message printed

77
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:29.279
in Meghan's signature calligraphy that reads, enjoy Megan. A bit

78
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.560
ominous there, megs. After reading the note, we continued wading

79
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.519
through the packaging to find the jam, which was padded

80
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:38.879
in packing peanuts and wrapped in creamy beige paper before

81
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:42.040
we finally got to the piece stair resistance. Because we'd

82
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.480
splurged for the keepsake packaging as the Duchess gave customers

83
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.759
no other choice during her initial launch, it meant that

84
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.120
the seven point six ounce jar came in a tan

85
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:54.959
cylinder shaped package embossed with the as Ever logo on

86
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:57.639
its front. The over the top packaging, which would be

87
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.959
hard to reuse due to its jam shaped hole, reminded

88
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.839
us more of a luxury candleman a condiment with throwing

89
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.879
the fridge after opening. But packaging aside, what really matters

90
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:09.920
here is the taste. We can't help but think as

91
00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.959
Ever's signature product might be in a bit of a jam.

92
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:15.519
They then go on to review the food itself, which

93
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.399
we will sum up as sweet. The spread that is

94
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:22.279
not the review, It seems Megan Michael's Netflix series with

95
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.199
Love Megan hasn't made it onto the radar of singer

96
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.959
and daytime talk show host Kelly Clarkson, who was caught

97
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:31.240
entirely off guard when the show was brought up on

98
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.519
her own program. During a recent episode of The Kelly

99
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:38.720
Clarkson Show, actor Brian Tyree Henry was sharing a charming

100
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:42.560
anecdote about bonding with co star Elizabeth Olsen over their

101
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:47.079
shared love of With Love Megan. But Clarkson's response was

102
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:50.319
as candid as it was bewildered. What is that? She asked,

103
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:54.800
genuinely puzzled, Andry quickly clarified the new Megan Michaels slash

104
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.079
Meghan Duchess of Sussex Show, where she's also like Martha Stewart. Now,

105
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.680
it is unclear if Kelly Clarkson was mildly anticipating today's

106
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:10.160
podcast release More Palace in just a Moment. Ever, Notice

107
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:12.720
how the villains often steal the show All This week,

108
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:16.920

special Villains Week event. Host Mark Ellison will take you

questions about the characters that push our heroes to their

limits and sometimes make us question which side we're really on.

115
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:41.199

116

Questions is known for. Villain's Week on. Five Daily Trivia

119
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:56.160
Questions available wherever you get your podcasts like this one,

120
00:06:56.199 --> 00:07:00.680
because sometimes it's good to be bad. Ginia Jeffrey is

121
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.600
now coming forward with allegations of domestic abuse against her

122
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.480
husband of twenty two years, Robert Jeffrey. In an exclusive

123
00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:09.959
statement to People, the forty one year old said, I

124
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.439
was able to fight back against Glene Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein,

125
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.240
who abused and trafficked me, but I was unable to

126
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.279
escape the domestic violence in my marriage until recently, after

127
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:23.800
my husband's latest physical assault, I can no longer stay silent.

128
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:27.240
The allegations come days after Geoffrey posted a photo of

129
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.800
herself in a hospital bed, her face visibly bruised. She

130
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.319
originally claimed the injuries stemmed from a car crash on

131
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.160
March twenty fourth, in which she said she was struck

132
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.279
by a school bus traveling over forty nine miles in

133
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.519
the hour. While the circumstances of her injuries are still

134
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:45.240
being clarified, Virginia's brother Sky Roberts and his wife Amanda,

135
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.839
said the severity of the alleged abuse has become impossible

136
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.680
for her to ignore. Amanda told people, I think the

137
00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:56.040
last incident that they had, she almost died. She had

138
00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.759
acknowledged that if she had one more instance with him,

139
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:02.360
she wasn't making nets out of there. The alleged assault,

140
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:05.720
took place on January ninth in Dunsborough, Western Australia, included

141
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:10.439
a cracked stern and perforated i, according to Virginia's representatives.

142
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:13.360
While she reported the incident to police, Robert Jeffrey was

143
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:17.040
not charged, he later filed a family violence restraining order

144
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:20.920
against Virginia, accusing her of violence and triggering legal proceedings

145
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:23.959
of his own. Virginia is now accused of violating that

146
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.959
order by sending him a text. On February second, a

147
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.160
spokesperson for Robert told people they could not comment, citing

148
00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:34.480
restrictions due to ongoing legal matters before Australian courts. Sky

149
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.879
Roberts suggested the restraining order may have been strategic. He

150
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:41.039
just put his in place first. Now she's on the defense.

151
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.399
Graham Cracker, the longtime Royal protection officer known affectionately as Crackers,

152
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:49.039
has died. He served as a bodyguard to Prince William

153
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:51.720
and Prince Harry during their childhood and was a constant

154
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.559
presence during some of the most difficult moments of their

155
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:57.679
young lives. Cracker is remembered by many for his role

156
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:01.279
in the funeral of Diana, Princess Wales nineteen ninety seven.

157
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.159
As her son walked behind the hearse from Saint James

158
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:07.559
Pallace to Westminster Abbey, he was among those quietly standing watch,

159
00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.679
ensuring their safety amidst a sea of sorrow. Later that day,

160
00:09:11.799 --> 00:09:14.320
Cracker was seen riding in front of the vehicle that

161
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:18.120
carried the princess to her final resting place at Authorpe House.

162
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:22.279
In one especially poignant image, he was captured gently brushing

163
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:25.120
flowers from the windscreen, a small human gesture of care

164
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:27.519
amid the overwhelming grief of thousands who had lined the

165
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:32.720
route to say goodbye. Sadly, Jamgate is overshadowing the King's

166
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:37.080
visit to Italy. A frustrated podcaster tells Pallace intrigue, why

167
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.679
couldn't Meghan have done her nonsense next week so we

168
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.159
wouldn't have to cram everything into one episode. If there

169
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:46.240
were any lingering doubts about His Majesty's stamina, they are

170
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.639
being firmly swept aside with a busy four day itinerary

171
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:53.960
showcasing his enduring roles as statesmen and diplomat. Palace aid

172
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.440
was clear this is not a scaled back visit. His

173
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:00.600
Majesty's continuing in his duties today, the King make history

174
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:04.120
as the first British monarch to address both houses of

175
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.360
the Italian parliament, the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate

176
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:10.960
of the Republic. He will also meet President Sergio Mattarella

177
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:14.000
and Prime Minister Giorgio Maloney, and in the evening, I

178
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:16.679
and Queen Camella will attend a black tie state banquet

179
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:21.440
at the Palazzo Kirinali, hosted by President Matterella. The banquet

180
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:25.840
coincides with their twentieth wedding anniversary. On the other hand,

181
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:29.320
Jamgate gave King Charles some cover from this one newly

182
00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.000
released tribunal documents have revealed that Prince Andrew and his

183
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:35.039
former adviser held two private meetings with King Charles at

184
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.399
Windsor Castle to discuss future funding options, meetings which, according

185
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.759
to the adviser, were deliberately conducted without being seen. The

186
00:10:42.759 --> 00:10:45.279
purpose of the discussions, which took place within a six

187
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.720
month span, was to explore what Andrew can do moving

188
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:51.240
forwards in a way that is acceptable to His Majesty.

189
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.879
According to a written statement by Dominic Hampshire, Andrew's former

190
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:58.720
senior adviser, central to the controversy as mister Yang Tengbo,

191
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:02.000
also known as Chris Yang Yang, was previously described by

192
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:05.039
judges as a close confidant of Prince Andrew who had

193
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:08.960
won a significant degree one could say, an unusual degree

194
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.279
of trust from the Duke of York. Buckingham Pallas has

195
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:14.360
firmly denied that mister Young's name ever came up in

196
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:16.759
the private discussions between the King and his brother. A

197
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.799
statement issued by the Palace read, while His Majesty met

198
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.559
with the Duke and his advisor to hear outline proposals

199
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:26.120
for independent funding over the past year, the individual known

200
00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:28.559
as H six was not mentioned at any time or

201
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:32.320
in any way as part of these discussions, and oh,
