Meghan’ Markles Alleged UK Demands, Royal Cold Shoulders, and a Legal Warning

Meghan’ Markles Alleged UK Demands, Royal Cold Shoulders, and a Legal Warning

Explosive claims suggest Meghan Markle has laid out strict conditions for any UK return, including luxury hotel lockdowns, security demands and title usage—allegations swiftly denied by Sussex allies. Meanwhile, Harry is set to miss seeing his family again, the King reaffirms support for Ukraine, Meghan faces warnings over a letter to her father, and Kate quietly steals attention by driving herself to a royal engagement.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.839
Calorogus Shark Media. Hi, and welcome to Pallas Intrigue. I

2
00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:15.439
am your host. Mark Francis. Meghan Marko's latest as Ever

3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.440
product launchers sparked sharp backlash online, with critics accusing the

4
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:23.359
duchess of being out of touch over pricing. The forty

5
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:25.960
four year old unveiled her first product rollout of twenty

6
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:29.600
twenty six, introducing a limited edition leather bookmark priced at

7
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.640
eighteen dollars, alongside a bundled a Moment to Unwind set

8
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.479
costing sixty four dollars. The set includes the bookmark, peppermint

9
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:41.479
tea and sage honey with honeycomb, which the Asever website

10
00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:45.039
describes as simple comforting essentials meant to help you slow

11
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:49.399
the pace and settle in. Promotional materials framed the collection

12
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.399
as Megan's take on starting the new year outright, calling

13
00:00:52.399 --> 00:00:57.479
it thoughtfully curated to feel personal, comforting and complete. The bookmark,

14
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.679
stamped with the phrase fell asleep here in megas handwriting,

15
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.319
was described as a small reminder that rest is part

16
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.920
of the ritual. Despite selling out shortly after launch, the

17
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:12.799
pricing prompted backlash from royal watchers and online commenters. One

18
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.599
reddit user wrote, sixty four dollars absolutely disgusting. She has

19
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:20.599
no shame, none whatsoever. Another added, so roughly twenty one

20
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.480
dollars for each of these three unappealing things, and it

21
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:25.719
was possible to get more ridiculous than here we are.

22
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.640
Another suggested the four item purchase limit was designed to

23
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.840
consume inventory levels, claiming I'm assuming the limit of fore

24
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.959
order is so no one can discover her stock. Some

25
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:37.120
critics argue the bundle was just a way to offload

26
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:41.680
unsold products. One user wrote, she's just restyling her leftovers

27
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.400
that she can't sell and attaching a cheap bookmark to it.

28
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:47.680
They claimed large quantities of honey and tea remained from

29
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:51.120
previous launches, adding this just further supports the stock figures

30
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:53.879
and mess of her business that was found a few

31
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.120
weeks ago. The peppermint tea and sage honey were already

32
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.799
available individually for fourteen and thirty two dollars, respect making

33
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.280
the bookmark the only new introduced item. Others criticized the

34
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.400
wording on the bookmark itself, when user wrote on x

35
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:10.199
Megan couldn't even come up with a quote herself. She

36
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:12.800
had to borrow from theirs and just write it in

37
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:17.360
a fancy cursive. However, some defended the duchess, noting of

38
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.520
the bookmark was created in collaboration with the UK based

39
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.319
female owned Workshop. One supporter wrote, well, it was a collab,

40
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:26.719
so if you're so but hurt, call them and find

41
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.639
out how many were created. According to as Ever, the

42
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:33.080
bookmark was produced in the UK using sustainably sourced leather

43
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.479
and made in collaboration with a new forest based workshop.

44
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.840
The product description states it was designed to last in

45
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.960
serve as a keepsake, designed for those who linger, pause

46
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:48.319
and return. For Women dot Com, Rose McMackin writes it

47
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.759
could be easy to brush off the overpriced bookmark as

48
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:52.919
a one off instance of being out of touch, but

49
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.280
for Meghan Marko's simply the latest one. She seems to

50
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.759
have a knack for appeering woefully out of step, even

51
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:03.800
she bends over backwards trying to seem relatable. According to

52
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.599
recent petting odds published by Casino Beats, Meghan is expected

53
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.199
to release a cookbook link to her Netflix series With

54
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.599
Love Megan. The book is said to feature approachable recipes

55
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.000
associated with the show, including dishes such as her single

56
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:19.879
skillet spaghetti, a rainbow themed fruit salad, and her signature

57
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.319
jams and marmalade. The same odds indicate that the second

58
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.080
season of the Netflix series is also considered likely, suggesting

59
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:31.599
the project could expand beyond its initial run. Speculation doesn't

60
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:34.199
stop there. The book makers also point to the possibility

61
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.080
of Meghan making some form of reconnection with the royal family,

62
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:42.319
though not with William wore Kate. Additional predictions include a

63
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.680
potential memoirle, an appearance at London Fashion Week, and even

64
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:51.520
another televised conversation with Oprah Winfrey. Prince Harry is unlikely

65
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:53.800
to see his father, King Charles when he returns to

66
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.560
the United Kingdom this week. The Duke of Sussex will

67
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:58.800
be in the UK for several days for court proceedings

68
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.919
related to his legal claim against Associated newspapers, the publisher

69
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:04.919
of The Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday. The

70
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:09.199
trial begins Monday, with Harry expected to take part on Thursday.

71
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:12.199
According to The Telegraph, King Charles is expected to be

72
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.479
in Scotland during Harry's visit. Royal sources told the paper

73
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:17.959
that the King has no wish to be linked to

74
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.639
any court proceedings and typically takes a break from public duties.

75
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:26.839
In January, royal expert Kinsey Schofield told Fox News Digital

76
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.720
it's important to note that King Charles does not regularly

77
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.399
communicate with Harry. The royal family views him as untrustworthy

78
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.759
and a liability, largely due to concerns that private conversations

79
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.240
will quickly find their way into the press. This is

80
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.560
especially sensitive given the King's cancer treatment is considered a

81
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:47.199
deeply private matter. British broadcaster and photographer Helene at Chard

82
00:04:47.199 --> 00:04:49.920
echoed that view, saying Prince Harry is accustomed to a

83
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.480
life built on conflict. He has sued the Mail on

84
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.399
Sunday and much more to the embarrassment of his father.

85
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.040
He still maintains that he has been stitched up by

86
00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.920
the establishment. It's a no brain and safe to say

87
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:05.639
King Charles will not be seeing Prince Harry. Chofield also

88
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:08.160
said Prince William and his wife Princess Catherine are no

89
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.120
longer in contact with Harry and Meghan Markel. Their focus

90
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:15.399
remains firmly on their own family and responsibilities. Our royal

91
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.040
inside at Deep Crown tells us the suggestion that his

92
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.480
Majesty is simply too busy to receive his own son

93
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.639
is frankly rather absurd on its face. The King's diary

94
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.279
is managed by his household. They work at his pleasure,

95
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.000
not the reverse. If Charles wished to see Harry, the

96
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.279
schedule would accommodate it. That he apparently does not wish

97
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:35.279
to do so, speaks volumes about the current state of affairs.

98
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:38.199
Charles may be fond of his youngest son in the abstract,

99
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:40.680
but he is king first, and a king cannot afford

100
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.480
to be seen endorsing, even tacitly his son's litigious warfare

101
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:48.600
against the British press while conducting important state business. The

102
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:52.199
monarchy survives on maintaining a certain distance from controversy. Harry

103
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:56.360
seems determined to remain at its center or a palace

104
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:03.920
in just a moment. According to a report from Radar Online,

105
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.240
a witness in Prince Harry's latest legal battle says he

106
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.600
is now afraid for his safety, claiming intimidation linked to

107
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.160
the Duke's legal team ahead of the trial due to

108
00:06:12.199 --> 00:06:15.439
beginner Monday. Private investigator Gavin Burrows is said to have

109
00:06:15.480 --> 00:06:18.879
made the allegation during a pre trial hearing, saying the

110
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:21.519
pressure he has faced has left him fearful enough to

111
00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:26.399
request giving evidence remotely. His lawyer Tom Poole said his

112
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.560
client had no objection to giving evidence, but fear of

113
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.759
the consequences of doing so in person. Paul said Burrows

114
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.800
had always been fully willing to give evidence voluntarily, but

115
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.560
is concerned that by doing so he puts himself at

116
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.600
personal risk. Paul told the court that Burrows had been

117
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:45.279
contacted by by a line Times, which Burrows believes works

118
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.519
closely with the claimant's legal representatives. He said Burrows interpreted

119
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:52.279
the contacts threatening, adding that his client, rightly or wrongly,

120
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.199
has interpreted the email, which was saying that they are

121
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:57.519
going to be publishing an article about him today. He

122
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.279
has interpreted that, rightly or wrongly, as a blatant to

123
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.759
to intimidate him at the commencement of trial before he

124
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:06.040
is due to give evidence. Harry is not expected to

125
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.399
launch any further legal action against the UK Press once

126
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.319
his current lawsuit against the publisher of The Daily Mail concludes.

127
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:14.519
According to sources who spoke to The Royalist, the move

128
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.680
could mark a significant shift in Harry's media strategy. Rather

129
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.480
than continuing a confrontational and costly legal campaign, the Duke

130
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:23.839
of SUSSS is said to be exploring a more traditional

131
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:27.759
public relations approach aimed at reshaping perceptions of him in Britain.

132
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.240
Sources suggest that if Harry wants to operate in the

133
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:35.000
UK again, even on a limited basis, remaining in open

134
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:40.360
conflict with the press would make that extremely difficult. Celebrity

135
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:44.000
hairdresser George Northwood worked closely with Meghan during international royal

136
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:47.480
tours following her twenty eighteen marriage to Prince Harry. Northwood

137
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:51.199
described the experience as intense but formative, telling Radar Online,

138
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.800
working with Meghan was a game changer. I loved her

139
00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:56.360
from day one. I went on tour with them to Australia,

140
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:59.319
New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga and we did forty looks

141
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.800
in three weeks. Megan always has ideas, but then she'd

142
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:04.920
let me run and Harry was very, very good at

143
00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:07.920
noticing her hair. Sources familiar with the tours said the

144
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.000
volume of styling changes was highly unusual by royal standards,

145
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.720
even if common in the entertainment industry. One insider said

146
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:18.319
Meghan approached royal appearances with an actor's mindset. Every outfit,

147
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.720
every appearance had to feel distinct That translated into constant

148
00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:26.279
hair changes that pushed the team hard, they said. Another

149
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.399
source stressed it was not deva behavior, it was an

150
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:32.759
actress refusing to repeat herself when the cameras were rolling NonStop.

151
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:38.120
Northwould also describe the practical realities behind the scenes. Royal

152
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.559
tours are not glamorous. All the time I did Meghan's

153
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:43.720
Hairy Morocco and the airport toilets, we had ten minutes.

154
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:46.759
A celebrity can arrive whenever they're ready. A royal has

155
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.440
to be out that door at this time, no negotiation.

156
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.360
You have three minutes to get that hair into a bun,

157
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.120
and they have it. If you'd like to email us
