0:00 Ah Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palas Indrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. Meghan Markel's appearance on Our Master Chef Astradia was overshadowed by an awkward behind the scenes misunderstanding over how she was introduced on this show. Master Chef Australia Judge Poe Ling Yao introduced Meghan by saying we've had Master Chef Royalty in the kitchen before, but no one like this all the way from sunny California. Please welcome to Master Chef Australia, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle. The report claims Meghan and her team had asked producers not to use the word royalty during her appearance, and that the introduction left the Duchess very frustrated. And unnamed source told Skeine Used Australia that the incident was not intentional, saying it wasn't about Meghan personally. Poe felt she had been unintentionally drawn into a royal protocol issue she never intended to be part of. A second unnamed source claimed Yao wanted to apologized directly to Meghan after learning about the issue. She was willing to reach out immediately, but she was advised to leave it for production to handle.

1:08 A source tells people Meghan and the Master Chef judges had a great time on set together. They immediately had such great rapport and had a really fun time working with the contestants and crew as well. Meghan left the set that day with such a positive experience. Any reporting otherwise is false. Guest Judge Meghan Michael shared an unexpected detail about her children's eating habits while making a guest appearance as judge on Master Chef Australium. Introducing a challenge, Meghan presented a selection of produce including carrots, Jerusalem artichokes, Brussels sprouts, Australian honey, Maceademian nuts, quints, lemons, apples, mandarins, and strawberries. While discussing the ingredients, Meghan revealed one vegetable that Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet happily eat. My kids eat Brussels sprouts, she said. Judge Sephia Lemon responded, that's impressive.

1:56 Megan also spoke about the role cooking plays in her family life, saying food and cooking me is really a love language. I think it's such a great way to connect. It's something that can feel sentimental and meaningful, and it's how I show my nurturing and love for my friends, family and my kids. There is a lot of pressure in this kitchen. I don't like to cook that way. I like to cook in a really relaxed fashion. So all I could say to the competitors was just remembered to have fun, to keep a sense of humor about it, and to cook from the heart. Describing her own tastes, she added, I'm a California girl. I like grilled fish, grilled meats, lots of citrus. I just like using really pure natural herbs and spices like basil and oregano. After filming, Megan said she particularly enjoyed seeing the contestants support one another.

2:39 I love watching all the guys hug and connect just be proud of each other because they all worked really hard. Several contestants also spoke positively about working with the duchess. Pedro Papa Thomas told TV Week, I remember watching her in suits. I was a bit starstruck. She was really genuine. There's been so much written about her, you kind of don't know what to believe, but I loved her. She was so kind and to books really intelligently about food as well. Contestant Casper Kenworthy agreed, saying never in a million years would you think that she would be on Master's cheff. And she was one of our favorite judges as well. She was interested in what you were doing and wanting to chat. Fresh off losing a privacy related court case, Harry may have noticed that his wife shared a new collection of family photographs from the Sussex's summer travels, including images of Prince Archie and Princess Lill all Thought the childhood home of their late grandmother, Princess Diana, The Duchess of Sussex. Posted the pictures on Instagram with a simple caption Summer holiday when photograph shows five year old Lillabert walking through the grounds in a floral dress. Another show of seven year old Archie barefoot on a path at sunset. All Thought the Spencer family estate in Northampton Shearers, where Diana spent part of her childhood. She is buried on an island in the Estates Oval Lake, although Megan did not say whether the family visited the burial site during this trip. What is notable is that the Sussexes kept the meeting with Charles out of public view, but have now chosen to share image which is from another emotionally significant part of the trip, Diana's family home. Well check in with Prince William to see how furious he is.

4:09 At an appearance at the time one hundred Sports gala in New York, Harry was overheard saying his father is doing great as the king continues treatment for the cancer diagnosis first announced in early twenty twenty four. Harry's appearance at the gala surprised many attendees who took the opportunity to meet the Duke. Among those he greeted was New York knickstar Jalen Brunson, with the pair posing four photographs together. Later, Harry took the stage to speak about the Invictus Games, the international sporting event he founded in twenty fourteen four wounded, injured, in sick service personnel and veterans. Harry said, it's truly an honor to be here tonight to celebrate the power of sport. I don't just mean the big wins in historic moments. I mean the tough losses, the sacrifices the moment that no one ever sees. Sport is where you first felt the essence of teamwork and community. It shaped your discipline, your drive, and your very identity. It taught you to revel in the chair lenges and the joy of overcoming defining the odds. For many of you, sports shaped who you became. For me, sports instilled essential core values from a very young age, but it didn't shape my identity as a young man. The British Army did.

5:13 He added that he felt lost after leaving military service, but found purpose again through sport. Sport isn't just entertainment and competition. Sport is medicine. According to Danny Mail's Allison Bouschoff, one of Harry's friends, said, there is definitely a feeling in this camp that he has started to feel a bit unwelcome in America, adding that the American dream might not be all that it was cracked up to be. The same source claimed Megan is also aware that the couple's influence in the United States has declined. It is no secret that they went to the States to try and seek their fortune, to try to capitalize on his fame and his royalty to some degree, but the American dream is cooling, the friend said. Another source, quoted by Bouschoff, suggested Harry's perspective has changed since leaving royal life. I don't think he's ever wanted to be estranged from his family.

5:58 I think when he was madly in love with Megan he could be bland enough to choose her. Now things are different and the veil is lifting more palace in just a moment. Prince Harry got into a playful argument with James Cordon over whether the sports should be called football or soccer during an appearance on Cowden's Fox program. Cowdon asked him, so were you a fan of soccer? He then joked I always thought you were too poische to go to a school where they played soccer. Harry immediately corrected, him, too posche to play football, You mean, where do you keep calling it soccer. Harry also took part in a lighthearted ranking of famous British men and fictional characters named Harry. Cordon asked, it's our last show, let's hash it out. Where do you put yourself in the list of with the greatest British Harry's Harry placed Harry Styles in first place and England captain Harry Kane in second. He put himself and Harry Potter and joined third, joking two of them would have a quidditch off. The Duke also admitted that his own football career at school did not go particularly well. You know what, in prep school I was on the first team and then I went to the bigger school and I ended up on the e team, big eighteen down to eighteen, so that didn't feel very good. When Harry was on Joe Miler's podcast Joe Marla Will See You Now, he was asked for his full name and occupation during his appearance on Harry replied Henry Albert Charles David or h for short, full time dad, British Army, veteran Prince of England, Duke, but for today I don't know what do you want?

7:21 The exchange prompted criticism from Talk TV presented Kevin O'Sullivan, who argued that Harry appeared uncertain about his identity. There you have it, Kinsey, a forty one year old man who has no idea what he is doing with his life. He cannot tell them what he does for a job, how he occupies his life. He doesn't know what he does and that is tragic, isn't it. Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield agreed he doesn't correctly answer his full name. He includes the Duke of Sussex. He tells me that his entire identity is still built around his royal relationships, his royal proximity, which he has deserted. She argued that Harry desperately misses home and suggested he has become wrapped up in Megan's world and they have it. You'd like to email us addresses the Palace intrigu at gmail dot com.
