Ah Calorouga, Shark Media. Now hell, I'm welcome through palace

2
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.519
intrig gam your host Mark More answers. A friend of

3
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:19.120
Andrews tells The Daily Beast he has depressed, and Sarah

4
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:22.440
and the kids are anxious about this show, a very

5
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:26.160
royal scandal. You have to remember that he absolutely insists

6
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:28.920
he has no memory of ever meeting Jeffrey and denies

7
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.719
having sex with her. He has never been found guilty

8
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:34.240
of anything. He knows. He fed up and he has

9
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:37.119
taken his punishment. He has given up his HRH, his

10
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.200
military titles, his role in public life without complaint. I

11
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:43.840
think he sometimes just wonders how long the punishment will

12
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.880
go on for. A friend of Princess Beatrice told The Beast,

13
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:49.079
there is nothing good you can say about it all.

14
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:51.640
It's all ghastly for all of them. The girls are

15
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:54.960
just getting on with their lives. Apparently the program is

16
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.679
not being heavily watched. We noticed it was only nine

17
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.640
dollars on Amazon Prime's top ten in the US on

18
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.079
Saturday night. One of Andrew's friends told The Daily Beast,

19
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:06.920
it's a great relief that this new show appears to

20
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.599
have sunk without a trace. He felt he came out

21
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:12.319
of the first film rather well. It seemed hard to

22
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.040
believe that there would be any appetite for another go round.

23
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.640
That looks to be the case. The Beast also spoke

24
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:19.920
to a friend of the King who said people writing

25
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.719
films and books about his majesty and his family something

26
00:01:22.760 --> 00:01:25.719
he is well used to. He won't have watched it.

27
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.799
Its water offer ducks back to him. Sarah Ferguson and

28
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.439
Prince Andrew may soon face a major housing dilemma as

29
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.519
they feel the pressure from King Charles to move out

30
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.280
of their lavish Royal Lodge home. With the monarch reportedly

31
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.200
cutting off Andrew's three million pound annual security bill come November,

32
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.120
the pair is left scrambling to find a more financially

33
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:49.879
sustainable residence. Their current abode, Royal Lodge, boasts thirty rooms

34
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:54.239
and ninety acres of land, costly both in maintenance and security.

35
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.920
Fergie had the foresight to purchase a London townhouse in

36
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:01.000
twenty twenty two, but it's current off limits as a

37
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:04.280
potential home for her and Andrew since it's being rented

38
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:08.039
out for sixteen thousand pounds a month. The property, located

39
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.240
in the swanky Belgravia area was bought in Sarah's name,

40
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.240
though daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are also listed

41
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.000
on the land registry. The townhouse has seen as a

42
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.680
long term investment for the family, though Sarah count sell

43
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:25.000
it without her daughter's consent. With renting a luxury townhouse

44
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.360
in the same neighborhood, price tot a call two hundred

45
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.280
eight thousand pounds per year, the idea of moving to

46
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.159
one of these properties seems to make more sense financially

47
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:36.759
than staying in the expensive to maintain Royal Lodge. A

48
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:39.280
source of noted that relocating would save them around two

49
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:43.120
hundred thousand pounds annually and described it as a no brainer.

50
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.719
According to a source, Princess Kate has extended an Olive

51
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:49.280
brand to Prince Harry after reflecting on life during her

52
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:54.000
chemotherapy treatments. Speaking to New Idea magazine, The Insider revealed

53
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.639
that Kate's experience has shifted her perspective. Facing your own

54
00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:01.680
mortality changes people. Kate knows how precious life is and

55
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:05.319
not to waste time on the past. During her treatment,

56
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.680
Keep reportedly read theories suggesting a link between cancer and

57
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.319
repressed anger and stress, which led her to reconsider her

58
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.479
approach to past tensions. She's making a big effort to

59
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:19.360
let go of any grudges, the source shared the ace upharsleeve.

60
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.599
As far as William is concerned, is that opening the

61
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:23.599
door for Harry is a way of keeping him from

62
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.000
doing something else damaging again. Prince Harry took center stage

63
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:31.439
at Kevin Costna's Polo Filled for the one eight five

64
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.360
Live event, but Meghan Michael was notably missing due to

65
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.400
reported illness. The annual event raises money for first responders

66
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.719
in Santa Barbara, and Harry, ditching the socks but not

67
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:45.919
the suit, presented an award to helicopter pilot Lauren Courtney. Harry,

68
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.080
himself a fellow helicopter pilot, joked about feeling more comfortable

69
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:52.240
in the cockpit than on stage. The event, which included

70
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:56.080
performances by Pink, Richard Marx, and Costner, had many hoping

71
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.879
Megan would attend like she did last year, but words

72
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.520
spread that she was unable to make it due to sickness.

73
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:04.719
Despite her absence, Harry kept up appearances as he gears

74
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.120
up for a busy schedule including trips to New York

75
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:11.159
and the UK for various charitable events. Please join us

76
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:15.000
in wishing Megan as speedy recovery. When Harry returns to

77
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.360
the UK, it is believed he will stay at a hotel.

78
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.079
A friend of Harry's told The Daily Beast. Harry is

79
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:23.000
not expecting the call up from the King or William

80
00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.680
will Megan tag along. Pr expert Renee Smith told The

81
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.600
Express Meghan's potential return to the UK with Harry could

82
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.199
go either way. On one hand, it could provide an

83
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.120
opportunity for her to demonstrate solidarity and support for Harry's

84
00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.600
charitable efforts, especially at a high profile event like the

85
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.959
well Child Awards. Given that her popularity is surged among

86
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:46.839
younger generations, particularly gen Z, her presence might further cement

87
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.000
her connection with the demographic which values her advocacy on

88
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.399
mental health, social justice and women's rights. A return could

89
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.279
reignite criticism from those who are less supportive, particularly if

90
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.600
the media shifts the focus from the charity event to

91
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:03.759
her ongoing rift with the Royal family. If she chooses

92
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:05.879
to attend, a low key, supportive role could be the

93
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:11.360
most beneficial approach to avoid negative attention, slowly rebuilt her image. Ultimately,

94
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.519
her decision should align with her long term strategy, whether

95
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.040
she's aiming to repair her reputation in the UK or

96
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.639
is content with her strongest standing in the US and

97
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:23.360
with younger generations. Only her and her pr team are

98
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.399
really privy to what she's got set as her goals there,

99
00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.360
which was a really long way of saying, there's no

100
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:32.480
way in hell she's coming. Gallan's indriy to be right back.

101
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.639
The late Mohammed al Fayed, father of Dodi Fayed, who

102
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.279
died alongside Princess Diana in the tragic nineteen ninety seven

103
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.160
Paris car crashes, now facing posthumous allegations of sexual assault,

104
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.160
adding a dark chapter to his complex legacy. His enduring

105
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:54.720
fascination with British Royalty led to his acquisition of Villa Windsor,

106
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:58.480
a former resident of King Edward the eighth and Wallace Simpson.

107
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.439
This fascination with the royal was intertwined with the lives

108
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.879
of his family when, after Princess Diana's divorced from Charles,

109
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:08.040
al Fayed invited her and his sons to vacation on

110
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.439
his yacht in Saint Trepe in nineteen ninety seven. Was

111
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.959
during this time that Diana and Dodie rekindled a romantic

112
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.759
relationship after their tragic deaths and a car crash that

113
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:21.319
same year, al Fayed infamously accused the British royal family,

114
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.600
including Prince Philip, of orchestrating their deaths to prevent Diana

115
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:27.920
from marrying a Muslim. His relentless pursuit of this theory

116
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.240
led to a highly publicized inquest that ultimately concluded the

117
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.120
deaths were caused by gross negligence of both the driver

118
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:38.120
and the paparazzi. However, a new investigation has emerged, shifting

119
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:41.120
focus back onto al Fayed himself. In a BBC report

120
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.399
from September nineteenth, five women came forward accusing him of

121
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.480
rape during their employment at Harod's, with over twenty more

122
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:52.360
former employees alleging sexual abuse. These claims are further detailed

123
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:56.079
in the documentary Al Fayed Predator at Harod's. Despite earlier

124
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.480
rumors and mentions of harassment in Tom Bower's nineteen ninety

125
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:02.480
eight by ogra Feed, there is no indication that the

126
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:07.199
Royal family knew of these allocations at the time. And
