Ah Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palas Indrigue.
2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.000
I am your host, Mark Francis. Meghan Markel's appearance on
3
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.640
Our Master Chef Astradia was overshadowed by an awkward behind
4
00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:21.079
the scenes misunderstanding over how she was introduced on this show.
5
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:25.399
Master Chef Australia Judge Poe Ling Yao introduced Meghan by
6
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.359
saying we've had Master Chef Royalty in the kitchen before,
7
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.199
but no one like this all the way from sunny California.
8
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.520
Please welcome to Master Chef Australia, the Duchess of Sussex,
9
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.079
Meghan Markle. The report claims Meghan and her team had
10
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:40.880
asked producers not to use the word royalty during her appearance,
11
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:43.960
and that the introduction left the Duchess very frustrated. And
12
00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:46.640
unnamed source told Skeine Used Australia that the incident was
13
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:51.000
not intentional, saying it wasn't about Meghan personally. Poe felt
14
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.439
she had been unintentionally drawn into a royal protocol issue
15
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.640
she never intended to be part of. A second unnamed
16
00:00:58.679 --> 00:01:02.079
source claimed Yao wanted to apologized directly to Meghan after
17
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:05.120
learning about the issue. She was willing to reach out immediately,
18
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:07.760
but she was advised to leave it for production to handle.
19
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.040
A source tells people Meghan and the Master Chef judges
20
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.200
had a great time on set together. They immediately had
21
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:17.000
such great rapport and had a really fun time working
22
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.680
with the contestants and crew as well. Meghan left the
23
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.000
set that day with such a positive experience. Any reporting
24
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:28.519
otherwise is false. Guest Judge Meghan Michael shared an unexpected
25
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.239
detail about her children's eating habits while making a guest
26
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.519
appearance as judge on Master Chef Australium. Introducing a challenge,
27
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.359
Meghan presented a selection of produce including carrots, Jerusalem artichokes,
28
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:43.719
Brussels sprouts, Australian honey, Maceademian nuts, quints, lemons, apples, mandarins,
29
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:47.560
and strawberries. While discussing the ingredients, Meghan revealed one vegetable
30
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.400
that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet happily eat. My kids
31
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:55.680
eat Brussels sprouts, she said. Judge Sephia Lemon responded, that's impressive.
32
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:58.239
Megan also spoke about the role cooking plays in her
33
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:00.920
family life, saying food and cooking me is really a
34
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:03.239
love language. I think it's such a great way to connect.
35
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.000
It's something that can feel sentimental and meaningful, and it's
36
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.520
how I show my nurturing and love for my friends,
37
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.080
family and my kids. There is a lot of pressure
38
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.240
in this kitchen. I don't like to cook that way.
39
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.840
I like to cook in a really relaxed fashion. So
40
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.039
all I could say to the competitors was just remembered
41
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.360
to have fun, to keep a sense of humor about it,
42
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:24.080
and to cook from the heart. Describing her own tastes,
43
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:26.919
she added, I'm a California girl. I like grilled fish,
44
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.719
grilled meats, lots of citrus. I just like using really
45
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:34.599
pure natural herbs and spices like basil and oregano. After filming,
46
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:38.479
Megan said she particularly enjoyed seeing the contestants support one another.
47
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.599
I love watching all the guys hug and connect just
48
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:43.879
be proud of each other because they all worked really hard.
49
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.680
Several contestants also spoke positively about working with the duchess.
50
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:52.039
Pedro Papa Thomas told TV Week, I remember watching her
51
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:54.919
in suits. I was a bit starstruck. She was really genuine.
52
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.360
There's been so much written about her, you kind of
53
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.240
don't know what to believe, but I loved her. She
54
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:01.680
was so kind and to books really intelligently about food
55
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:06.159
as well. Contestant Casper Kenworthy agreed, saying never in a
56
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:07.919
million years would you think that she would be on
57
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:10.759
Master's cheff. And she was one of our favorite judges
58
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:12.840
as well. She was interested in what you were doing
59
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:17.039
and wanting to chat. Fresh off losing a privacy related
60
00:03:17.080 --> 00:03:19.400
court case, Harry may have noticed that his wife shared
61
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.719
a new collection of family photographs from the Sussex's summer travels,
62
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.919
including images of Prince Archie and Princess Lill all Thought
63
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.719
the childhood home of their late grandmother, Princess Diana, The
64
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.039
Duchess of Sussex. Posted the pictures on Instagram with a
65
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.280
simple caption Summer holiday when photograph shows five year old
66
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.039
Lillabert walking through the grounds in a floral dress. Another
67
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.080
show of seven year old Archie barefoot on a path
68
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.960
at sunset. All Thought the Spencer family estate in Northampton Shearers,
69
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.560
where Diana spent part of her childhood. She is buried
70
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:49.919
on an island in the Estates Oval Lake, although Megan
71
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.439
did not say whether the family visited the burial site
72
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.120
during this trip. What is notable is that the Sussexes
73
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.639
kept the meeting with Charles out of public view, but
74
00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.680
have now chosen to share image which is from another
75
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:05.120
emotionally significant part of the trip, Diana's family home. Well
76
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.680
check in with Prince William to see how furious he is.
77
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.159
At an appearance at the time one hundred Sports gala
78
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:15.080
in New York, Harry was overheard saying his father is
79
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.560
doing great as the king continues treatment for the cancer
80
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:21.319
diagnosis first announced in early twenty twenty four. Harry's appearance
81
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.040
at the gala surprised many attendees who took the opportunity
82
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:26.160
to meet the Duke. Among those he greeted was New
83
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:31.759
York knickstar Jalen Brunson, with the pair posing four photographs together. Later,
84
00:04:31.839 --> 00:04:34.240
Harry took the stage to speak about the Invictus Games,
85
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:38.480
the international sporting event he founded in twenty fourteen four wounded, injured,
86
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:42.079
in sick service personnel and veterans. Harry said, it's truly
87
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.120
an honor to be here tonight to celebrate the power
88
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:46.000
of sport. I don't just mean the big wins in
89
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.560
historic moments. I mean the tough losses, the sacrifices the
90
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.839
moment that no one ever sees. Sport is where you
91
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.639
first felt the essence of teamwork and community. It shaped
92
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.879
your discipline, your drive, and your very identity. It taught
93
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:00.759
you to revel in the chair lenges and the joy
94
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.279
of overcoming defining the odds. For many of you, sports
95
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.319
shaped who you became. For me, sports instilled essential core
96
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.040
values from a very young age, but it didn't shape
97
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.800
my identity as a young man. The British Army did.
98
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:16.000
He added that he felt lost after leaving military service,
99
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.199
but found purpose again through sport. Sport isn't just entertainment
100
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:25.639
and competition. Sport is medicine. According to Danny Mail's Allison Bouschoff,
101
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.639
one of Harry's friends, said, there is definitely a feeling
102
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:29.160
in this camp that he has started to feel a
103
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.360
bit unwelcome in America, adding that the American dream might
104
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:33.920
not be all that it was cracked up to be.
105
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.000
The same source claimed Megan is also aware that the
106
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:40.399
couple's influence in the United States has declined. It is
107
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.240
no secret that they went to the States to try
108
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.879
and seek their fortune, to try to capitalize on his
109
00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:47.639
fame and his royalty to some degree, but the American
110
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.920
dream is cooling, the friend said. Another source, quoted by Bouschoff,
111
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:56.079
suggested Harry's perspective has changed since leaving royal life. I
112
00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.360
don't think he's ever wanted to be estranged from his family.
113
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.360
I think when he was madly in love with Megan
114
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.160
he could be bland enough to choose her. Now things
115
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.399
are different and the veil is lifting more palace in
116
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:12.800
just a moment. Prince Harry got into a playful argument
117
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.199
with James Cordon over whether the sports should be called
118
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.079
football or soccer during an appearance on Cowden's Fox program.
119
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.120
Cowdon asked him, so were you a fan of soccer?
120
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.160
He then joked I always thought you were too poische
121
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:25.279
to go to a school where they played soccer. Harry
122
00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.240
immediately corrected, him, too posche to play football, You mean,
123
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.560
where do you keep calling it soccer. Harry also took
124
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.920
part in a lighthearted ranking of famous British men and
125
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:36.839
fictional characters named Harry. Cordon asked, it's our last show,
126
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:38.600
let's hash it out. Where do you put yourself in
127
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:41.399
the list of with the greatest British Harry's Harry placed
128
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.079
Harry Styles in first place and England captain Harry Kane
129
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.079
in second. He put himself and Harry Potter and joined third,
130
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.199
joking two of them would have a quidditch off. The
131
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.720
Duke also admitted that his own football career at school
132
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.959
did not go particularly well. You know what, in prep
133
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:57.759
school I was on the first team and then I
134
00:06:57.800 --> 00:06:59.279
went to the bigger school and I ended up on
135
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.360
the e team, big eighteen down to eighteen, so that
136
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.319
didn't feel very good. When Harry was on Joe Miler's
137
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.639
podcast Joe Marla Will See You Now, he was asked
138
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:10.959
for his full name and occupation during his appearance on
139
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.399
Harry replied Henry Albert Charles David or h for short,
140
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.399
full time dad, British Army, veteran Prince of England, Duke,
141
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:20.319
but for today I don't know what do you want?
142
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:24.360
The exchange prompted criticism from Talk TV presented Kevin O'Sullivan,
143
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.759
who argued that Harry appeared uncertain about his identity. There
144
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:29.399
you have it, Kinsey, a forty one year old man
145
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.560
who has no idea what he is doing with his life.
146
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:33.560
He cannot tell them what he does for a job,
147
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:36.000
how he occupies his life. He doesn't know what he
148
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.600
does and that is tragic, isn't it. Royal commentator Kinsey
149
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.959
Schofield agreed he doesn't correctly answer his full name. He
150
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:45.560
includes the Duke of Sussex. He tells me that his
151
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.920
entire identity is still built around his royal relationships, his
152
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:52.639
royal proximity, which he has deserted. She argued that Harry
153
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.680
desperately misses home and suggested he has become wrapped up
154
00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:00.439
in Megan's world and they have it. You'd like to
