a dud. The Duchess of Sussex announced the first holiday

00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:31.439
a new role interviewer for Town and Countries November Philanthropy issue,
34
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.879
where she spotlights fifteen year old Avery Colvert, founder of
35
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.360
Autodenate Girls, an organization supporting teenage girls who lost their
36
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.439
homes in the devastating January wildfires in California. Inside, Meghan
37
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.360
speaks with Colvert about her work and the rapid growth
38
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.520
of the grassroots effort. Meghan told her, you never thought
39
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.800
your work would grow to be this big, and even
40
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:55.840
if it hadn't, it still would have been meaningful and
41
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.000
made an impact. My goodness found daughters turn out to
42
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.599
be anything like you. I'll be the proudest mum. How
43
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:06.120
can people continue to help you? Meghan embraced the autumn
44
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:08.400
spirit in high style, stepping out in a sixteen hundred
45
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:10.599
dollars outfit for a family trip to a pumpkin patch
46
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:14.080
near Montecito home. The Duchess was seen holding hands with
47
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.520
Prince Harry as they watched their children explore the grounds
48
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:20.439
of Lane Farms in Santa Barbara. Despite the low key setting,
49
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.520
Meghan opted for polished comfort, wearing a four hundred dollar
50
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.879
Aneine bing Luca padded jacket last seen during her Washington,
51
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:32.120
d c appearance at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, paired
52
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.800
with chic black skinny jeans and one hundred ninety five
53
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.919
dollar co leather black riding boots. Her hair was tied
54
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.719
back in a practical low ponytail. Prince Harry, always wary
55
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:47.199
of intruding photographers and apparently not realizing he lives with one,
56
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.800
kept things casual in jeans, a hoodie in a baseball
57
00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:53.400
cap while the children appeared on camera darting between pumpkins
58
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.039
and a corn maize. At one point, Meghan was seen
59
00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:00.120
gently patting Archie's head while Lilibert rode contentedly behind and
60
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.840
pumpkins and a trailer. The outing captain on a short
61
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:07.639
Instagram video included a glimpse of pumpkin carving, Harry reportedly
62
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.400
showing off his skills with a spooky jack o' lantern.
63
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.479
Eagle eyed viewers were able to pause the video and
64
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.040
isolate images of the children's faces, albeit blurry. In a
65
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:21.120
brief caption, Meghan wrote Happy Sunday, accompanied by a pumpkin
66
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.199
and heart emoji. As is her custom, comments were turned
67
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:28.399
off and the number of likes hidden. Very interestingly, the
68
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.040
Daily Mail's recap of the video used some interesting phrasing,
69
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:36.240
which is presented here verbaton. The Mail rights Megan's real
70
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:40.519
also showcased Harry's cheeky side and featured her mother Dori
71
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.040
at Ragland and close friend Marcus Anderson. Marcus has often
72
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.160
affectionately referred to as Megan's second husband because of their
73
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.639
close bond over many years, will remind everyone Harry is
74
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:55.720
actually Megan's second husband. Megan Michael's first marriage was to
75
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.160
film producer Trevor Engelson. They started dating in two thousand
76
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.120
and four, married in jim Acre in August of twenty eleven,
77
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:06.240
and separated in twenty thirteen, with their divorce being finalized
78
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.120
the following year. The marriage reportedly ended due to a
79
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.399
reconcilable differences, which sources say were largely driven by the
80
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.680
strain of a long distance relationship while Meghan was filming
81
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.399
suits in Toronto and Trevor was based in Los Angeles.
82
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.519
Earlier this month, Marie Claire posted an article titled the
83
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.879
man Always beside Meghan Marko and why Everyone's talking about
84
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.519
him They're write It began, like most Megan Markel's stories,
85
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.800
with a photograph. In this one, she's in Paris, glowing skin,
86
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:37.240
immaculate tailoring, her hand clasped in that of Marcus Anderson,
87
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:41.759
longtime confidantine saw her house executive. The image shared across
88
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.240
social media reignited a wave of speculation. Why is Anderson
89
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.600
always there? To outside it looks like friendship, But beneath
90
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.160
the noise of the tweets, the theories, the think pieces
91
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:55.240
liys a more fascinating question about proximity, loyalty, and power
92
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.600
in Meghan's post royal world. The two reportedly met in
93
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:03.120
Toronto during Meghan's suit's era, when she was navigating the
94
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:06.560
city's social scene. He was the gatekeeper to the world
95
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:10.560
she was on the brink of entering, connected, polished, and mysterious.
96
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.160
When Harry and Meghan's relationship first went public in twenty sixteen,
97
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.839
it was said to be Anderson who helped orchestrate the
98
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:22.720
logistics safe dinners, private getaways, introductions made away from prying eyes.
99
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:26.079
He was, depending on who you ask, her confidant, her
100
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:31.519
pr consigliere, or her cultural passport. Seven years later, he's
101
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:35.560
still there, appearing beside Megan at charity gala's public appearances
102
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.759
and yes, Disney trips. For those who've fallen out of
103
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.720
the Sussex's tight circle, isn't during presence raises eyebrows. You'll
104
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:47.279
find several theories about that relationship on social media. For now,
105
00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:50.000
we're just going to mind our own business and order

120
00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:46.439
King Charles face a tense moment during a royal engagement
121
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.800
in the West Midlands when a protester shouted questions about
122
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:53.399
Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein as the monarch greeted well
123
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.959
wishers outside Litchfield Cathedral. The King was attending a special
124
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.480
service at the historic cathedral, meeting community groups and volunteers,
125
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.600
when a man in the crowd called out, how long
126
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:06.480
have you known about Andrew and Epstein. The heckler's voice
127
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.079
was quickly drowned out by others who responded with chance
128
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.519
of God save the King. As Charles continued his walk about,
129
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:16.800
smiling and shaking hands. Witnesses said the man was swiftly
130
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:18.879
moved away from the area by someone in the crowd.
131
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:21.800
The group Republic later claimed the protester was one of
132
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.639
their supporters. Its chief executive, Graham Smith, said the royals
133
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.879
need to be challenged and if the politicians won't do
134
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.600
the job and the police won't investigate, then more and
135
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.879
more members of the public will be asking tough questions.
136
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:40.879
Despite the disruption, King Charles appeared unruffled. Andrew has reportedly
137
00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.159
promised King Charles he would not pan a memoir in
138
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.240
the style of Prince Harry's spare amid fears within royal
139
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.399
circles that he could go rogue if forced out of
140
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:51.679
his Windsor residence. According to reports, Andrew, who may soon
141
00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:54.879
lose his thirty room Royal Lodge in what insiders have
142
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.919
dubbed yorkst has assured the King that he will not
143
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:02.279
write a tell old books revealing family secrets. One source
144
00:09:02.399 --> 00:09:05.240
told The Sun on Sunday, Andrew won't write a book
145
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.200
like Spear, he has promised the King. While Andrew has
146
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:11.000
sworn off publishing his own story, his ex wife, Sarah Ferguson,
147
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.240
is said to be fielding offers with publishers, Yet a
148
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:17.159
friend told the paper she couldn't write a book without
149
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:21.399
Andrew being in it. Andrew is reportedly willing to vacate
150
00:09:21.480 --> 00:09:24.159
Royal Lodge, but only if he can move into Frogmore Cottage,
151
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:27.639
the former Windsor residence of Harry and Meghan. According to
152
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.960
the Son, Andrew and Sarah have floated a proposal. Andrew
153
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:34.200
would take Frogmore and Sarah would be offered Adelaide cottage,
154
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:37.720
currently occupied by Kate and William, who are moving out.
155
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:40.600
A friend of the couple told the paper Andy is
156
00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:43.200
willing to lead, but these are his demands. He is
157
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:45.240
realistic and knows the writing is on the wall and
158
00:09:45.240 --> 00:09:47.279
that his time at Royal Lodge is up. If he
159
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:51.759
must go, then he has asked for Frogmore Cottage. Ferguson, however,
160
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:54.440
has denied making any such demands. According to The Times,
161
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.039
a source close to her said the idea of Adelaide
162
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.399
and Frogmore was one of several options proposed by Wokingham
163
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:05.360
Palace and not a list of conditions from the couple themselves. Legally,
164
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.879
Andrew cannot be forcibly removed from Royal Lodge due to
165
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.240
the terms of his lease, which runs until twenty seventy eight.
166
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:14.200
Should he choose to relinquish it voluntarily, the crowded state
167
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:17.200
would owe him approximately five hundred and fifty eight thousand
168
00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:20.720
pounds in compensation. Nevertheless, a source close to him said
169
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:25.480
he's willing to leave if preferred arrangements are granted. As
170
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.399
for Frogmore Cottage itself, the property carries a storied past.
171
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.519
Once a retreat for Queen Charlotte and later home to
172
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.919
Queen Victoria's confidant Abdul Karen, it has housed everyone from
173
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:41.159
theologians to exile Russian Royalty. Most recently, it served as
174
00:10:41.159 --> 00:10:44.120
the UK base for Harriet Meghan, who refurbished the property
175
00:10:44.120 --> 00:10:47.200
in twenty nineteen. The couple vacated it after stepping down
176
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.600
as working royals in twenty twenty. Princess Eugenie and her
177
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.919
husband Jack brooks Bank briefly moved in during twenty twenty one,
178
00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:57.159
but did not stay long term. For now, Buckingham Palace
179
00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:59.639
has not commented publicly on any new arrangements, and is
180
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.360
once noted no one is really sure how it's going
181
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.600
to go down at the Palace. Yet. Andrew was said
182
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.960
to believe there's more to King charles insistence that he
183
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:12.039
vacates Royal Lodge than meets the eye. According to the Telegraph,
184
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.840
the disgraced Duke suspects his older brother has set aside
185
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:18.639
the Windsor estate for Queen Camilla should she outlive the King.
186
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.960
That arrangement, if true, would echo royal history. Royal Lodge
187
00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.480
was famously home to the Queen Mother after her daughter
188
00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:29.279
Elizabeth the Second descended the throne. The report claims Andrew
189
00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.039
and his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie have told
190
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:34.240
friends at Charles and Ten's for the Queen to make
191
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:38.200
the residence her base in Windsor. However, Pallace sources have
192
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:42.279
dismissed the theory, pointing out that Camilla's heart lies firmly
193
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.559
at ray Mill House in Wiltshire, her privately owned home
194
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.720
from before her marriage to the King. The property where
195
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.080
she feels most at home, was the backdrop for her
196
00:11:51.080 --> 00:11:54.399
most recent birthday portraits and is described as far more
197
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:59.000
comfortable and personal than the grandeur of Royal Lodge. Anna
