Calorogus Shark Media. Hello, Welcome to Palace intrig game host
2
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.160
Mark Francis. Happy birthday to Prince William, who is forty
3
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:19.719
three today. If you are wondering what to get the
4
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:23.839
man who has everything, perhaps he'd like some legally fruit spread.
5
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.600
The Duchess of Selling has relaunched her lifestyle label as ever,
6
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.199
and the shelves are full once more, though they may
7
00:00:30.199 --> 00:00:33.600
not stay that way for long. After the spring debut
8
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:37.240
sold out inside an hour, Friday's summer restock brings back
9
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:41.679
six original favorites Flower Sprinkles, Crape Mix, short Bread cookie Mix,
10
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.840
and three herbal teas, alongside two fresh additions, Apricots Spread
11
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:50.039
and orange Blossom honey. The flagship JAM will note the
12
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.560
website carefully use the word spread and not Jam returns
13
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.280
in its new apricot guys presented in the brands keeps
14
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:01.280
a glass jar with a brushed gold lid. Early shoppers
15
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:03.759
reported that the honey is already proving as popular as
16
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.840
the limited addition wildflower variety, which disappeared in five minutes.
17
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.239
Back in April, we noticed the apricot spread in Keepsake
18
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:15.239
packaging was gone by eleven thirty, Yet the real talking
19
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.120
point is still to come. As ever Rose, the company's
20
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.760
first venture into wine, will launch on July first at
21
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:25.120
eight a m. Pacific. Described as a bespoke blend with
22
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.439
soft notes of stone fruit and gentle minerality. Full details
23
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:32.959
remain under wraps. The Duchess promises more information in the
24
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.640
coming days for anyone wondering. Gentle Minerality refers to the
25
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.480
crisp lift found in warm weather favorites such as provinceal Rosees.
26
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:44.840
We thank Meghan for the additional downloads in advance. Megan
27
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:47.599
has offered a significant hint about the future of her podcast,
28
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.680
Confessions of a Female Founder, suggesting that while the series
29
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.959
is currently on hold, it may well return once she's
30
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.840
got a bit more of her entrepreneurial journey under her belt.
31
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.840
Speaking on the Aspire with Emma Grit podcast, Meghan said,
32
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:03.400
I would love to bring the show back when I
33
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.959
am at a different end of my founder journey, when
34
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:08.120
I've gone through Q four and say here are my
35
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.599
proof points, here's this, Wow, what a here it's been,
36
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:12.919
or even longer than that. I think a different time
37
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.080
will be so exciting, just to be able to compare
38
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.080
in contrast. But yeah, I know people. I know people
39
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.000
want another one. I just made a choice to say
40
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.439
it's a really good time to make to put all
41
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.080
of my energy into the thing that I am building.
42
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:27.599
Another hint from Megan was when she said, at a
43
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:29.919
certain point, the only thing I want spread thin is
44
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.080
my jam. But not everyone is buying that explanation. Broadcaster
45
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.039
Dan Wuten was quick to dismiss the comments as damage control.
46
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.120
No one is demanding this series. It's been a total disaster,
47
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:43.439
he said, claiming that the show fizzled out due to
48
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.039
lack of interest not a packed calendar. Wouton also took
49
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.759
aim at Meghan's track record in the podcast space, comparing
50
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.520
this project to her twenty twenty two Spotify series Archetypes.
51
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.719
Just like Archetypes, this goes down as another one series
52
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.479
flop because Meghan can't commit to a single thing, he added.
53
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.439
An industry insider tells Palace Intrigue, the thing never took off,
54
00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:05.319
and the company she works with just got sold for
55
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.039
thirty million. So the founder's shiny object play paid off.
56
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.360
But now those same founders have zero incentive to continue
57
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.599
this show. Monty Python would call it an ex podcast,
58
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:18.840
a piece of royal wedding history has surfaced online as
59
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:22.080
a guest souvenir bag from the twenty eighteen nuptials of
60
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.400
Harry and Meghan is now listed for sale on eBay.
61
00:03:24.919 --> 00:03:28.280
The commemorative tote, originally gifted to attendees of the Duke
62
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.280
and Duchess of Sussex's wedding at Windsor Castle, is going
63
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:34.080
for four hundred and nineteen dollars. The listing includes a
64
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.919
detailed inventory of the contents, a water bottle, short bread biscuits,
65
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.879
a large chocolate coin, a fridge magnet, a guest badge
66
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.199
of postcard, and what the seller describes as associated literature.
67
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:47.680
There's even an order of service and guest wristbands included,
68
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:51.479
all apparently unopened. The product description calls it a special
69
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.400
and historical memorabilia piece for collectors or fans of the
70
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:58.400
British royal family. It also references the wedding itself as tumultuous,
71
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.080
which some may find a curious choice words for what
72
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.199
was at that time builled as a fairy tale more
73
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:10.439
palace in just a moment, pr experts have noticed a
74
00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.280
shift in Meghan's branding, and they think it's a mistake.
75
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.199
Sarah Schitt tells The Daily Mail. Meghan's first as ever
76
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.399
newsletter was poetic and intimate. It positioned the brand as
77
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.120
an extension of their personal rituals and values, written in
78
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:24.519
the voice of someone building a lifestyle, not just selling
79
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:29.439
a product. The latest email, by contrast, is pure transaction, short, strategic,
80
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:33.120
and sales focused, and that pivot is telling. It suggests
81
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:37.040
a brand moving from emotional origin story into operational scale. However,
82
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.439
when the key team members exit and the tone titans,
83
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:43.000
audiences can feel that if the first email said come
84
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.199
into my garden, the second says get ready to shop,
85
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.600
neither is wrong, but the dissonance creates questions not just
86
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.160
about Megan's role, but about her heart and soul of
87
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:55.439
the brand. The Invictus Games desiying six global contenders to
88
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.680
host its twenty twenty nine edition, signaling the events growing
89
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:04.160
international impact. The shortlisted locations are Alborg, Denmark, in Venetto
90
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:09.040
in Italy, Abuja, Nigeria, Day John, South Korea, Kiev and Ukraine,
91
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.519
and San Diego, USA. San Diego would bring the Games
92
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.160
close to Harry's Montecito home, while Abuja is making a
93
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.000
strong push to become the first African host, having already
94
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:22.040
broken ground on a dedicated Invictus center. South Korea hopes
95
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:23.680
to bring the Games to Asia for the first time
96
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.800
and wart on Kiev's bid was described as compelling by organizers,
97
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:32.040
underscoring the role of sport in Ukraine's veteran recovery programs.
98
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:34.920
The final twenty twenty nine host will be selected after
99
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.759
further review over the next year, with each contender putting
100
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.560
recovery and veteran support at the heart of their proposals.
101
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.480
In an incredible coincidence, Kate issued a statement which distracted
102
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.720
the media from Megan Funny how that happens the Princess
103
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.240
of Wales broke the personal message for Children's Hospice Week,
104
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.199
led by it Together for Short Lives across the UK,
105
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.800
the charity for children's Palliots of Care. Kate's statement reads,
106
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.120
no parent expects to hear that their child has a
107
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.519
serious health condition that could shorten their life. Sadly, this
108
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.240
is the reality face by thousands of families across the country,
109
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:11.319
leaving them heartbroken, fearful of the future, and often desperately isolated.
110
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:13.720
Being able to access the support of one of the
111
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.759
UK's fifty four Children's Hospices means they don't have to
112
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:20.199
face that future alone. As patron of East Anglia's Children's
113
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.040
Hospices and Tia Fans Children's Hospice in South Wales, I
114
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.560
have the immense privilege of seeing for myself the extraordinary
115
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.519
work of our children's hospices, lifting spirits through laughter, fun
116
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:32.959
and play. As well as listening, holding, caring and cheering.
117
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.959
They support children and families through life, death and beyond.
118
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.240
This Children's Hospices Week, I hope you will all join
119
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.839
me in celebrating the life changing work they do and
120
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:44.360
thanking them for the vital care they provide to children
121
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:49.399
and families experiencing the most challenging times. Children's Hospice Week
122
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:52.439
runs until Sunday, which suggests the Wonderful Princess could have
123
00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:54.199
put this statement out at any time this week, but
124
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:58.199
happened to go out right before Megan's announcement. Funny how
125
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:00.560
that happens. And there you have it. I'd like to
