Meghan Markle Pushes Diana ‘Hook’ While PR World Freezes the Sussexes Out
With the thirtieth anniversary of Diana’s death approaching, reports claim Meghan is pressing Harry to pursue access to a sealed French “dossier” as the ultimate documentary hook. At the same time, new gossip-site reporting paints a bleak picture: Kardashian-world allegedly wants distance, agencies supposedly won’t take their calls, the charity operation looks skeletal, and Netflix pressure is rising on The Wedding Date. Add in more staff-departure chatter and the vibe is less “brand reset” and more “full-time crisis management.”

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.160
Calarogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intry Game,
2
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.359
your host Mark Francis. The death of Princess Diana remains
3
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.879
one of the most enduring and emotive chapters in modern
4
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:22.440
royal history, and as the thirtieth anniversary of her passing approaches,
5
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:24.760
the subject is once again said to be front of
6
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:27.960
mind for Prince Harry and Meghan Markel, though for very
7
00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:32.600
different reasons. Diana died in Paris in nineteen ninety seven,
8
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.399
when Harry was just twelve years old. Now, with plans
9
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:40.240
reportedly underway for a new Diana focused documentary in partnership
10
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:44.520
with Netflix, attention has turned to a vast investigative file
11
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:49.280
compiled a decade after her death. The so called Diana
12
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:53.520
Dossier runs to more than six thousand pages and was
13
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:57.000
assembled in two thousand and seven. He remains sealed in
14
00:00:57.039 --> 00:01:00.200
the basement of the Palaide Justice and Paris and is
15
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.719
not due to be made public until twenty eighty two.
16
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.480
The files understood to include witness statements, toxicology reports on
17
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:11.879
Diana's driver on Repall, and photographs that have never been released.
18
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:16.000
According to reports cited by a New Idea conspiracy theorists
19
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:19.159
have long plaimed that the documents could contain evidence pointing
20
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:22.760
to the true circumstances surrounding the deaths of Diana and
21
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.840
Dirty fayd. Against that backdrop, a source close to the
22
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.239
Sussex's claims Megan Markele is keen to gain access to
23
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.280
the material. Megan is desperate to get her hands on
24
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:36.439
those files. She's convinced it could give them the ultimate
25
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.840
hook they need for their documentary. She also believes Harry
26
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:43.200
has every right to know what happened, so she is
27
00:01:43.400 --> 00:01:46.920
urging him to demand a review of the documents. As
28
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.799
Diana's son, he has every right to access those files.
29
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.000
According to the same source, Meghan is convinced that the
30
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.359
documents could offer Harry long sought closure. She knows he
31
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.200
wants closure on this and those documents could be what
32
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:04.359
they need to save their Netflix deal, they claimed. The
33
00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:06.519
source went on to argue that Harry's connection to the
34
00:02:06.560 --> 00:02:09.360
story makes him uniquely placed to tell it. They know
35
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.759
Harry is the only one who can authentically tell Diana's story.
36
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.800
It's a personal project for him, especially if it drops
37
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.840
bombshells and could rival there twenty twenty two series. They said,
38
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.080
Megan is pushing him to fight for the files, saying
39
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.919
it's his birthright. As the anniversary approaches, the legacy of
40
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:30.520
Princess Diana and the unanswered questions surrounding her death appears
41
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:35.879
said to once again collide with modern royal narrative. According
42
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:38.439
to Radar Online, the Kardashians are telling Harry and Meghan
43
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.240
to keep their distance. One inside It said Chris and
44
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:45.000
Kim and their entire circle are stunned asking for permission
45
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.520
to share photos as done as a courtesy. But Chris
46
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.800
certainly isn't expecting anyone to say no, and certainly not
47
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.280
Megan and Harry. These are two people who have asked
48
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.719
for and received her help, advice and connections. Here she
49
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:00.080
was inviting them past the velvet rope of oz and
50
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.759
this is how they repay her, acting as though they
51
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.800
are too good to be seen partying with her. It's
52
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:07.680
a massive slap in the face and one that she
53
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:12.159
cannot let slide. The insider added that Chris Jennet now
54
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:15.680
knows everything she needs to know about them. They continued,
55
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.400
She's had plenty of people use her in her lifetime,
56
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:20.680
and many more have tried, but she's at a point
57
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.080
where that doesn't really happen anymore, because as soon as
58
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.599
she spots it, she cuts the relationship off, and that's
59
00:03:26.639 --> 00:03:28.560
what she intends to do in this case, and Chris
60
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.800
will no doubt be warning all her many friends as well.
61
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.680
Megan is said to be feeling growing resentment as pressure
62
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:38.120
mounts around her upcoming romantic comedy for Netflix, The Wedding Date,
63
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:40.919
with insiders describing the project as a critical moment for
64
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:45.120
both her career and the Sussex's future in Hollywood. The
65
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.000
film is based on a novel by New York Times
66
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.919
best selling author Jasmine Guillery and is currently moving through
67
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.639
the final stages of development. A well placed source told
68
00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:57.639
Star magazine that anxiety levels are rising as key details
69
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:01.919
are being finalized. To the Insider, both Megan, Michael and
70
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.159
Prince Harry understand what is at stake. There is so
71
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:07.400
much writing on this movie being a success, the source said,
72
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.800
adding that Meghan has been telling those around her that
73
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:12.039
this is make or break time and she wants all
74
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:16.000
hands on deck. The insider claimed. Meghan believes the project
75
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:20.399
represents a genuine opportunity to reverse recent setbacks. Megan feels
76
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:22.399
like they've finally got a rule shot at making a
77
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.759
huge hit, the source said, suggesting that strong performance could
78
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.519
dig them out of their slump. However, tensions are reportedly
79
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:33.360
emerging over Harry's level of enthusiasm. The source alleged that
80
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.879
his attitude is becoming a point of friction, saying his
81
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.920
lack of enthusiasm is driving Megan crazy and it's bringing
82
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.319
up a lot of resentment for her part, for what
83
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:46.439
she sees as his total lack of engagement. She's sure
84
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:48.720
that if he were to throw himself into the Hollywood
85
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.839
game the way she has, they'd be way more successful.
86
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.600
Harry wants his life's work to feel meaningful. He has
87
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:57.959
no desire to live and breathe Hollywood anymore, and that
88
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.439
is not going over well with Meghan, according to Royal
89
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:05.319
commentator Daniela. Also, the situation inside the Sussex's charity operation
90
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.560
has become increasingly precarious, with senior figures no longer working
91
00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:13.759
in full time. Roles also reports that Vice president SHAWNA.
92
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.759
Napp is now operating only as a consultant rather than
93
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.639
a permanent employee. As news dot com dot Au puts it,
94
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:23.639
Shawna hasn't been a full time employee in some time.
95
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.199
This is crazy. They have lost their foundation in a
96
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.879
matter of weeks. Anyone still there is simply an enabler,
97
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.480
armored with what the couple once was, not who they
98
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:37.800
are today. According to Page six, matters have deteriorated to
99
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:41.160
the point where major structural changes are being discussed. One
100
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:44.040
source said the Sussexss have spent the past few months
101
00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:47.360
in cost cutting talks for their charity and even discussed
102
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:51.959
selling the foundation. One former staff member claimed it's Megan.
103
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:56.079
She's unbearable. She talks down to people and is very condescending.
104
00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:59.759
Prince Harry is said to be hoping that King Charles
105
00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:03.199
will visit his Montecito home. Sources claim the hope centers
106
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.519
on an unexpected visit to the United States by King
107
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.319
Charles later this year. Charles and Prince William are both
108
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.240
expected to travel to the US separately in April as
109
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.639
part of efforts to revive a key trade deal that
110
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.160
had been put on hold by US President Donald Trump.
111
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:22.000
While we're asking King Charles for things that aren't going
112
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:23.920
to happen, we hear by extend an offer to his
113
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:27.319
majesty to guest host an episode of Palace intrigue, We'll
114
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.439
come to you, let us know when, or palace in
115
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:37.199
just a moment, writing on his substack, naughty but nice
116
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:39.639
robs you to reports at several top tier agencies have
117
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:43.759
rejected the Sussexes outright. One agency representative is quoted as
118
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.560
saying that they are difficult and frankly cheap. Kardashians and
119
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.639
Beyonce spent a fortune on PR, Harry and Meghan expect
120
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.000
the same result for a fraction of the budget. Industry
121
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:57.120
figures say the snubs underline how serious the couple's reputational
122
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:01.439
challenges have become. Experts estimate that to lead PR representation
123
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.040
for high profile clients typically costs between one hundred and
124
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.160
fifty thousand and three hundred thousand dollars or more per year,
125
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.519
a level sources claimed the Sussexes are unwilling to meet.
126
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:16.279
Analysts warn that without experienced professional guidance, Harry and Meghan
127
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:20.639
risk continuing to lose public goodwill and damaging commercial prospects.
128
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.600
Shooter reports of PR professionals view the couple as uniquely
129
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:27.639
challenging clients. One former staff had told him the job
130
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:29.839
isn't hard because of the press. It's hard because of
131
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.600
the principles, Harry and Meghan are impossible to satisfy, and
132
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:38.279
their expectations constantly shift. Their readiness to pursue legal action,
133
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.160
issued sharp public statements, and criticize institutions has left agencies
134
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:48.319
wary of unpredictability. One former publicist said a competent pr
135
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.360
can survive bad headlines. They can't survive clients who won't
136
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:55.120
listen or demand you push false narratives. That's the Sussex problem.
137
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:57.959
Another source that described the couple as being liable to
138
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.079
hit Defcon one at any moment, creating the prospect of
139
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.199
constant crisis management. We're still not sure Megan's cookbook is
140
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.519
a real thing, that it's happening in the spring, but regardless,
141
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:10.720
it does not appear to be well received. Chopping up
142
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:14.120
fruit and veg, reheating keish, and day drinking doesn't count,
143
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.959
one critic pen on social media. Another mocked Meghan's cooking,
144
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.920
saying she barely cooks anything. What she seems to do
145
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.240
is crack handedly, chop and arrange fruit and vege, and
146
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:27.680
sprinkle on dried, tasteless flowers on stuff. Another social media user,
147
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.319
invoking one of the more clever nicknames asked. Does Samonella
148
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:36.840
Sussex's book include health and safety tips? Like to email
