00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.000
Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palas Intrigue. I

2
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.760
am your host, Mark Francis. Megan Michael is reportedly gearing

3
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.000
up for a charm offensive aimed at rebuilding her Hollywood

4
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:24.719
connections this holiday season. According to an insider speaking to

5
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.960
Closer magazine, Megan is feeling increasingly isolated and is keen

6
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.399
on rekindling friendships, especially as she prepares to enter twenty

7
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:35.880
twenty five on a more positive note. As part of

8
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:39.880
this festive strategy, Megan is curating luxury gift packages filled

9
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.640
with her personal favorites, centered naturally around her signature jam

10
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.759
from her new brand, American Riviera Orchard, which she debuted

11
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:48.920
in March. The source claims she's putting a lot of

12
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.000
thought and a hefty budget into these holiday packages, which

13
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:55.759
are reportedly aimed at reconnecting with Hollywood's top influences while

14
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:57.759
promoting her brand. As part of the plan, it's also

15
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.320
about spreading goodwill and chowcy ing her softer side amid

16
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:05.760
her reported sense of loneliness. Royal commentator Tina Brown suggests

17
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.159
that Meghan's upcoming brand might take cues from Wyneth Paltrow's

18
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:14.640
Powerhouse wellness empire Goop, which reportedly inspired Meghan during her

19
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.159
The Tig days. Brown points out that while The Tig

20
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.640
shared wellness and travel tips in a straightforward, earnest style,

21
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:26.480
Goop's more audacious approach made it both sensational and highly profitable.

22
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:30.640
With items like Poltrow's famous The Smells Like My Vagina

23
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.319
candle and five hundred and fifty dollars Courts necklaces, Goop

24
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:37.200
thrived on attention grabbing products and became a two hundred

25
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:39.959
and fifty million dollar brand. One can only hope that

26
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.079
Megan titles her products as such, so we don't have

27
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:44.799
to spend three weeks telling you what Christmas at Sandringham

28
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.200
is like. It seems like half the world is mad

29
00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:50.319
at Meghan again. This time it's because Meghan wore a

30
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.560
black top navy blazer and a poppy, a traditional British

31
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.680
symbol of remembrance. The sight of Megan wearing the poppy

32
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.079
ahead of Remembrance Day while residing in the US has

33
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.719
reminded some of last year's similar appearance that stirred mixed

34
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.560
reactions among American veterans. In November of twenty twenty two,

35
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.240
Meghan wore a poppy broach at the opening of Navy

36
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.560
Fitness Center in San Diego, a move that raised eyebrows

37
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.680
as poppies aren't commonly worn in the US around Veteran's

38
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.400
Day on November eleventh, but rather on Memorial Day in May.

39
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.319
Veterans Day in the States honors those who have served,

40
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:27.039
but doesn't traditionally involve wearing poppies, unlike the UK's Remembrance

41
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.719
Day custom. This difference in remembrance customs sparked criticism, with

42
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:35.560
some interpreting Megan's choices a not to British tradition over

43
00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.719
American while others just deciding she's the worst person who

44
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.719
ever lived. One social media user wondered, Megan Michael looks

45
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:45.439
like a bloody moron wearing a Royal British Legion poppy.

46
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.719
Who told her wearing a British poppy while celebrating American

47
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:53.840
veterans would be a good look. Samantha Markle has reignited

48
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.360
her defamation lawsuit against her sister Megan, focusing now on

49
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.680
claims made in the Sussex's Netflix documentary Harry and Meghan.

50
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.520
According to court filings obtained by Newsweek, Samantha contends the

51
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.360
comments made in the documentary and by social media analyst

52
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:12.280
Christopher Boozy defamed her by implicating her and spreading online

53
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:16.439
disinformation about Meghan. Gb News reports that it appears Samantha's

54
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.400
legal team has made an embarrassing gaff in court filings,

55
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.479
repeatingly referring to Prince Harry as the Prince of Wales,

56
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:25.400
a title that actually belongs to Prince William. This blunder

57
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.560
is said to appear nine times in recent documents submitted

58
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.560
to the US Court of the Pills for the Eleventh Circuit.

59
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:35.960
One section even stated Megan's started a production studio, Archwell

60
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.759
Productions with her husband, Harry, Prince of Wales. In another passage,

61
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.520
the document notes the six part series delved into the

62
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:45.919
inner lives of Meghan and her husband, Harry, Prince of Wales.

63
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.479
Prince Harry, whose full title is Prince Henry of Wales,

64
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.960
has never been the Prince of Wales, a designation traditionally

65
00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.560
reserved for the air apparent to the British throne, and

66
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:57.639
not some spare who is fifth in line behind his

67
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:01.960
enemy and three little kids. These mistakes contrast Meghan's legal

68
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.520
teams filings, which correctly refer to Harry as Prince Henry

69
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.360
of Wales. In case you were further confused, Harry's name

70
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.240
is actually Henry Charles Albert David. According to a spokesperson

71
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.759
cited by The Daily Mail, Prince Harry's childhood nickname was

72
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.360
part of a long standing royal tradition. Though he was

73
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.639
christened Henry, Diana and Charles reportedly call him Harry as

74
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:25.519
a more informal moniker, a century's old practice among the royals.

75
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.160
The spokesperson explained, he will, of course be christened Henry,

76
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:33.319
but afterwards he'll be Harry. There are centuries of tradition involved.

77
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.279
Harry's formal name, Henry was typically reserved for official announcements,

78
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.639
such as when the late Queen Elizabeth granted her consent

79
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.920
in twenty eighteen for Prince Henry to marry Megan Mirkle.

80
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.759
It was also reportedly used by his parents, Charles and

81
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.519
Diana when he was in trouble. Prince Charles was said

82
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:50.839
to have choked that Harry was only called Henry when

83
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.800
he was being very, very naughty, highlighting even the Royals

84
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:58.639
have playful rules when it comes to discipline. Friends of

85
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:01.319
Andrew told the Daily Beast this weekend. They were happy

86
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.360
for the disgraced duke in his financial battle with the king.

87
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.839
Once said, we are thrilled for Andrew. Andrew has a

88
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:10.720
cast iron lease on the property, so God knows why

89
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.560
Charles chose to pick this battle. He has been comprehensively humiliated.

90
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:16.920
It's hard to imagine anyone would have any interest in

91
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.000
where Andrew was living if Charles's aides had not spent

92
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:21.480
the past year banging on about it. He was never

93
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.560
going to just walk away from the property. The lease

94
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.920
is a valuable asset he intends to leave to his children,

95
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:28.680
and maybe William will be glad of having Eugenie or

96
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:31.480
Beatrice there in years to come. It's a great result

97
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:34.480
for Andrew and Sarah. It's absurd that Charles wasn't dissuaded

98
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:36.720
from launching this campaign against them in the first place,

99
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.439
but then to continue it this year when the King

100
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:43.120
has been so ill. Was frankly nuts Palace intric to

101
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:49.199
be right back. Princess Anne, once referred to a magazine

102
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.680
as a sex bomb, has once again proven her vintage

103
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.600
style prowess, turning heads in a gold dress she first

104
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:57.560
wore thirty years ago. The Princess Royal attended a dinner

105
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.199
hosted at the Palace of Hollywood House on behalf of

106
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.879
Weichi House Charity, looking Timeless in an intricately woven floral

107
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:09.160
patent gold dress featuring a scolloped collar, buttoned down bodis,

108
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:13.800
and an a line silhouette. The dress is quintessentially Anne, polished, practical,

109
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.199
and rich with history. Royal fans on social media were

110
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.360
quick to spot that the princess first wore the dress

111
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:21.879
back in nineteen ninety three, at the age of forty three.

112
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:24.920
The gowns timeless cut and unique pattern are a testament

113
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.319
to Princess Anne's neck for a style that transcends decades.

114
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.759
One fan even speculated that the dress could be older

115
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.360
than nineteen ninety three, noting how it mirrors designs from

116
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:39.199
the late sixties or early seventies. And there you have it.

117
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:40.959
