00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.800
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Injury Game.

2
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.039
I'm your host, Mark Francis. In The Daily Mail, Alison

3
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.039
Bouschow suggests we will get a third season of Meghan's

4
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:24.039
cooking show after all. Bouchof writes there will be a

5
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:27.519
third series of the Duchess's lifestyle show With Love Meghan

6
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:30.320
if she wants to make one, and I hear she does.

7
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.119
Multiple sources say the couple are getting a new first

8
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.640
look deal with the screener, which will be in line

9
00:00:36.679 --> 00:00:39.200
with the sixty five million dollar deal that Barack and

10
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.799
Michelle Obama now have and it doesn't get bigger than that.

11
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:45.119
I also hear there are options on the table for

12
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.799
other lifestyle shows from the Duchess, tied to hosting gatherings

13
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.719
at Thanksgiving or Christmas. The idea is to announce those

14
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.240
in September, when the second series already shot of With

15
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:59.399
Love Meghan drops. In fact, one well placed source believes

16
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.399
the Sussex are going to make more money next year

17
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.719
from Netflix and Megan's Netflix backed brand as Ever than

18
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.000
they did this year, but it's bad news for their

19
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:12.280
own large team at Archiweald Productions, which has been funded

20
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:16.760
up to now by the Netflix exclusive deal. Insiders suggest

21
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:18.640
that running the team in the office costs around three

22
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.959
million dollars a year, Although the team won't comment, some

23
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.439
belt tightening on the production stage looks inevitable. The fate

24
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.519
of projects and development, including a rom com film based

25
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:30.519
on the book Meet Me at the Lake and a

26
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:35.120
retelling of Charles Dickens's Great Expectations, is not known. The

27
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.840
piece quotes Puck News Lauren Sherman, who said, I've never

28
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.000
understood why marcl who legitimately moves product when she wears

29
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.159
or endorses something, didn't team up with a licensing firm

30
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.519
faster sister's style, or go ahead and raise capital from

31
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.480
her inner Montecito circle to start a Goopsdale business. But

32
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.519
there are a few things holding her back. First, she

33
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.159
is terribly polarizing, and even more so than Gwyneth. A

34
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.519
lot of people who might by a sweater Markel is

35
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:04.439
wearing from J Crew or le Lynde would be embarrassed

36
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.879
to serve a bottle of her wine at a dinner party.

37
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.439
A former Sussex employee told Sherman the one thing Meghan

38
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:13.879
and Harry have done consistently is make the wrong decision.

39
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.840
That's not for want of trying, because, as another close

40
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:20.560
source told me, they are horrible at making decisions. They

41
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:25.439
ask everyone and then don't take their advice. Radar Online,

42
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:27.159
which tends to be a little more gossipy than the

43
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:30.840
British tabloids, suggests Meghan is growing increasingly unsettled as Prince

44
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:34.919
Harry pursues reconciliation talks with the Royal family without her

45
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.599
by his side. The unease reportedly began after a quiet

46
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.599
but significant meeting took place on July twelfth at the

47
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:46.280
Royal Overseas League in London, where King Charles Communications Secretary

48
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:50.599
Tobin Andrea met with two of Harry's senior UK advisors,

49
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:54.960
Meredith Mainz and Liam McGuire. A source close to Meghan

50
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.360
said Meghan knows it's wise for them to rebuild ties

51
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.199
with the Royals, but the pace of it all has

52
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:02.280
left her rat She feels like things are slipping out

53
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:04.719
of her hands, especially now that Harry's calling the shots

54
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.319
without checking in with her the way he once did.

55
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:10.960
She's afraid the Royals are trying to win Harry back

56
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.639
while sidelining her in the process. She's made it clear

57
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.439
to him that he has to respect their partnership and

58
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:21.000
not shut her out of these decisions. Another insider noted

59
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:23.759
Harry's stepped up to handle the talks himself, partly because

60
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.199
he knows Megan, despite his love for her, can be

61
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:30.560
perceived as confrontational. But this whole situation is way outside

62
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:34.360
her comfort zone and she's increasingly paranoid the royals are

63
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:37.960
working to break them up. Megan, sources say, worries that

64
00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.639
history could be repeating itself, recalling the Queen's fateful letter

65
00:03:41.680 --> 00:03:44.240
to Charles and Diana that helped bring their marriage to

66
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:47.919
an end. One source explained, she's clinging to the hope

67
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:50.639
that this doesn't backfire and end with them manipulating him

68
00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:54.319
to turn on her as a reconciliation process moves forward.

69
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.560
Parallels to the Queen's direct an uncompromising letter to Charles

70
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.360
and Diana loomed large. With old woo still fresh, Meghan's

71
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.199
anxiety centers on whether history might repeat itself and whether

72
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:09.039
her partnership may once again be deemed expendable in search

73
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:13.360
of royal repair. We may have a new budding royal

74
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:17.720
star beginning to emerge. Harriet Spurling, a pediatric NH nurse

75
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:20.360
and the girlfriend of Peter Phillips, has quietly become one

76
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:24.439
of this summer's most watched royal dresses, blending understated elegance

77
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:26.519
with the effortless charm of someone who doesn't appear to

78
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.480
be trying too hard. Since making her public debut with

79
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.920
Peter at the Badminton Horse Trials in May of twenty

80
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.399
twenty four, where she wore a high street Zara dress

81
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:39.519
that suddenly mirrored Queen Camilla's own blue ensemble, Spurling has

82
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:43.480
consistently struck the right note with her wardrobe, from Royal

83
00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:47.000
Ascot to Wimbledon and the Guard's Polo Club. She's opted

84
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:51.040
for polished British labels like Susannah London, bulah Me and

85
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.800
m Wiggie Kitten Saint Clair, brands favored by the Princess

86
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.399
of Wales and Duchess of Edinburgh. She is stunning in

87
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.319
the flesh and charming too, says j Chadwick Healey, form

88
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.040
of Vogue editor and fashion advisor to the Princess of Wales.

89
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:06.680
I truly believe she's also happy and that brings so

90
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:11.319
much to an outfit designer. Wiggy Heinmarsh noted that her

91
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:14.720
style feels effortless yet considered. She has a great eye

92
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.399
for color, what suits her frame and what's appropriate for

93
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:22.000
each event. Spurling Wiggi kits Linen Coor to Wimbledon and

94
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:24.680
a Saint Clair Midi dress with Gucci sunglasses to the

95
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.639
Royal charity Bollow Club, pairing elegance with a dash of

96
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.920
relaxed glamour. With no formal royal role war title, Spurling

97
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:35.319
currently enjoys more freedom than official working royals, though that

98
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:39.519
could change if her relationship with Peter Phillips continues to deepen.

99
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:46.879
More palace in just a moment. If you're a fan

100
00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.839

the country at the moment, and it comes out daily

there as well. Check it out Celebrity Trials. They may

106
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:08.519
not go in as celebrities, but they certainly come out

as them. Available wherever you get your podcasts. England's Lioness

108
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:17.240
has returned home triumphant after retaining their European Championship title,

109
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:20.920
but the celebration at Buckingham Palace came with a notable absence.

110
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:23.879
No members of the royal family were there to greet them.

111
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.360
According to the Daily Mail, the Football Association had expected

112
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.519
at least one royal to appear as the team's victory

113
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:35.120
parade passed by the Palace following their dramatic penalty shootout

114
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:37.879
when over Spain in the Euro twenty twenty five final.

115
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:40.959
While Prince William, president of the FA, was present in

116
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.000
Basel for the match itself, he reportedly opted to remain

117
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:47.759
on holiday afterwards, with sources suggesting he is in Greece,

118
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:52.160
possibly even on a secret super yacht. However, royal sources

119
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.879
told gb News the absence was intentional, with the palace

120
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:58.160
keen that the Lionesses themselves remained the focus of the moment,

121
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.480
which is a nice way to cover that the president

122
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.839
of the Football Association likes to vacation and may have

123
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:08.160
even been on a secret super yacht. Princess Charlotte may

124
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.000
have delighted Royal fans with her surprise appearance alongside Prince

125
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.079
William at the women's Euro twenty twenty five final in Switzerland.

126
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.240
But her name was notably absent from the official court circular.

127
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:21.439
While Prince William's attendance had been announced in advance, Charlotte's

128
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:24.279
presence was kept under wraps until the two appeared in

129
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.519
these stands. However, the official Royal record of the day

130
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.480
made no mention of her. Some royal watchers wondered about

131
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:32.560
the omission, and as much as we like a good

132
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.639
royal conspiracy, the reason for Charlotte's mission is actually quite boring.

133
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:39.959
She is not a working royal and only official duties

134
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.560
carried out by senior, working members of the Royal family

135
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:47.480
are recorded in the court circular. Caribbean nations are uniting

136
00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:52.800
behind Jamaica's bold call for reparative justice, with regional leaders

137
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:56.480
endorsing a petition to King Charles that seeks legal clarity

138
00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:00.639
on Britain's role in the Transatlantic slave trade. Prime Minister

139
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:04.399
Andrew Holness announced that the Caricom Leader's Summit that Jamaica

140
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:08.040
had secured broad support for its petition, which urges the

141
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.839
King to request legal advice from the Judicial Committee of

142
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.000
the Privy Council. The Final Court would appeal for many

143
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.879
Commonwealth countries on whether slavery in Jamaica was a crime

144
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.240
against humanity and whether the UK has a legal obligation

145
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:26.199
to provide redress. Wholeness described the move as a watershed

146
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:30.319
moment for CARICOM and the broader global movement for reparatory justice.

147
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.159
He said, if the petition succeeds, the United Kingdom bears

148
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:36.639
a legal obligation to provide reparations to Jamaica and its

149
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:41.200
people for the enduring harm caused. Antigua and Barbuda's Prime Minister,

150
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:44.960
Gaston Brown framed reparations as a matter of economic justice.

151
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:48.519
Not only were our forebearers exploited in terms of not

152
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:51.840
being paid, but the profits that were generated were repatriated

153
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:55.360
to Europe and North America to build out their economies.

154
00:08:55.799 --> 00:09:00.480
They left our countries bereft of importance social institutions, hospitals, schools.

155
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.279
Natalia Wheatley, Premier of the British Virgin Islands, praised cara

156
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:07.799
COM's resolve in the face of what he called ridicule

157
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:10.480
from parts of the UK. Some persons would just prefer

158
00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.679
not to listen to it, he said, but we appreciate

159
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.879
the leadership and they have it. If you'd like to
