Meghan Markle plans to turn on the charm! Good luck with that!

0:03 Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palas Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. Megan Michael is reportedly gearing up for a charm offensive aimed at rebuilding her Hollywood connections this holiday season. According to an insider speaking to Closer magazine, Megan is feeling increasingly isolated and is keen on rekindling friendships, especially as she prepares to enter twenty twenty five on a more positive note. As part of this festive strategy, Megan is curating luxury gift packages filled with her personal favorites, centered naturally around her signature jam from her new brand, American Riviera Orchard, which she debuted in March. The source claims she's putting a lot of thought and a hefty budget into these holiday packages, which are reportedly aimed at reconnecting with Hollywood's top influences while promoting her brand. As part of the plan, it's also about spreading goodwill and chowcy ing her softer side amid her reported sense of loneliness. Royal commentator Tina Brown suggests that Meghan's upcoming brand might take cues from Wyneth Paltrow's Powerhouse wellness empire Goop, which reportedly inspired Meghan during her The Tig days. Brown points out that while The Tig shared wellness and travel tips in a straightforward, earnest style, Goop's more audacious approach made it both sensational and highly profitable.

1:26 With items like Poltrow's famous The Smells Like My Vagina candle and five hundred and fifty dollars Courts necklaces, Goop thrived on attention grabbing products and became a two hundred and fifty million dollar brand. One can only hope that Megan titles her products as such, so we don't have to spend three weeks telling you what Christmas at Sandringham is like. It seems like half the world is mad at Meghan again. This time it's because Meghan wore a black top navy blazer and a poppy, a traditional British symbol of remembrance. The sight of Megan wearing the poppy ahead of Remembrance Day while residing in the US has reminded some of last year's similar appearance that stirred mixed reactions among American veterans. In November of twenty twenty two, Meghan wore a poppy broach at the opening of Navy Fitness Center in San Diego, a move that raised eyebrows as poppies aren't commonly worn in the US around Veteran's Day on November eleventh, but rather on Memorial Day in May.

2:19 Veterans Day in the States honors those who have served, but doesn't traditionally involve wearing poppies, unlike the UK's Remembrance Day custom. This difference in remembrance customs sparked criticism, with some interpreting Megan's choices a not to British tradition over American while others just deciding she's the worst person who ever lived. One social media user wondered, Megan Michael looks like a bloody moron wearing a Royal British Legion poppy. Who told her wearing a British poppy while celebrating American veterans would be a good look. Samantha Markle has reignited her defamation lawsuit against her sister Megan, focusing now on claims made in the Sussex's Netflix documentary Harry and Meghan.

3:01 According to court filings obtained by Newsweek, Samantha contends the comments made in the documentary and by social media analyst Christopher Boozy defamed her by implicating her and spreading online disinformation about Meghan. Gb News reports that it appears Samantha's legal team has made an embarrassing gaff in court filings, repeatingly referring to Prince Harry as the Prince of Wales, a title that actually belongs to Prince William. This blunder is said to appear nine times in recent documents submitted to the US Court of the Pills for the Eleventh Circuit. One section even stated Megan's started a production studio, Archwell Productions with her husband, Harry, Prince of Wales. In another passage, the document notes the six part series delved into the inner lives of Meghan and her husband, Harry, Prince of Wales.

3:46 Prince Harry, whose full title is Prince Henry of Wales, has never been the Prince of Wales, a designation traditionally reserved for the air apparent to the British throne, and not some spare who is fifth in line behind his enemy and three little kids. These mistakes contrast Meghan's legal teams filings, which correctly refer to Harry as Prince Henry of Wales. In case you were further confused, Harry's name is actually Henry Charles Albert David. According to a spokesperson cited by The Daily Mail, Prince Harry's childhood nickname was part of a long standing royal tradition. Though he was christened Henry, Diana and Charles reportedly call him Harry as a more informal moniker, a century's old practice among the royals. The spokesperson explained, he will, of course be christened Henry, but afterwards he'll be Harry. There are centuries of tradition involved.

4:34 Harry's formal name, Henry was typically reserved for official announcements, such as when the late Queen Elizabeth granted her consent in twenty eighteen for Prince Henry to marry Megan Mirkle. It was also reportedly used by his parents, Charles and Diana when he was in trouble. Prince Charles was said to have choked that Harry was only called Henry when he was being very, very naughty, highlighting even the Royals have playful rules when it comes to discipline. Friends of Andrew told the Daily Beast this weekend. They were happy for the disgraced duke in his financial battle with the king. Once said, we are thrilled for Andrew. Andrew has a cast iron lease on the property, so God knows why Charles chose to pick this battle. He has been comprehensively humiliated.

5:14 It's hard to imagine anyone would have any interest in where Andrew was living if Charles's aides had not spent the past year banging on about it. He was never going to just walk away from the property. The lease is a valuable asset he intends to leave to his children, and maybe William will be glad of having Eugenie or Beatrice there in years to come. It's a great result for Andrew and Sarah. It's absurd that Charles wasn't dissuaded from launching this campaign against them in the first place, but then to continue it this year when the King has been so ill. Was frankly nuts Palace intric to be right back. Princess Anne, once referred to a magazine as a sex bomb, has once again proven her vintage style prowess, turning heads in a gold dress she first wore thirty years ago. The Princess Royal attended a dinner hosted at the Palace of Hollywood House on behalf of Weichi House Charity, looking Timeless in an intricately woven floral patent gold dress featuring a scolloped collar, buttoned down bodis, and an a line silhouette. The dress is quintessentially Anne, polished, practical, and rich with history. Royal fans on social media were quick to spot that the princess first wore the dress back in nineteen ninety three, at the age of forty three.

6:22 The gowns timeless cut and unique pattern are a testament to Princess Anne's neck for a style that transcends decades. One fan even speculated that the dress could be older than nineteen ninety three, noting how it mirrors designs from the late sixties or early seventies. And there you have it.
