00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.839
Caalaroga Shark Media, Hello and Welcome through Palace Intrigue game

2
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:18.039
Postmark Frances, The Prince of Wales, attended a community event

3
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:22.199
in London yesterday hosted by the NFL Foundation, which showcased

4
00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.160
the organization's efforts to support young people in some of

5
00:00:25.199 --> 00:00:30.559
the UK's most deprived areas through flag football. Flag football,

6
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.719
a non contact version of American football, involves tackles being

7
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:37.840
made by pulling off flags worn by players on their hips.

8
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.600
According to the British American Football Association, the sport is

9
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.399
rapidly growing in the UK and is said to be

10
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.840
included in the Los Angeles twenty twenty eight Olympic Games.

11
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.280
The NFL Foundation, now celebrating its third anniversary, is the

12
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:55.359
first international charitable arm of the NFL. It focuses on

13
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:58.479
supporting areas and the youth with high deprivation and low

14
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:02.960
physical activity levels, currently working with twenty three community organizations

15
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:07.319
across London, Birmingham, Greater Manchester and Leeds, reaching over six

16
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:10.879
thousand young people. Prince William, smiling as he met with

17
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.079
representatives from NFL UK and community partners, learned about the

18
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.200
program's impact. He also spoke with young people about how

19
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.079
the initiative has benefited them from joining in the NFL's

20
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.280
flag activities, including catching, receiving and throwing. During the event,

21
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.879
the Prince of Wales chatter with NFL players currently involved

22
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.000
in matches in London. This included Louis rees Zamat, a

23
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.280
Welsh athlete playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Phoebe Scheckter,

24
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.000
who has represented Team gb in both flag and tackle

25
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.680
football and is the first British female coach in the NFL.

26
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.480
The NFL has been holding regular season games in London

27
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:48.680
since two thousand and seven, and the sport continues to

28
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:53.319
grow in popularity across the UK. The Duchess of Sussex

29
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:57.159
is reportedly being inundated with offers from publishers eager to

30
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:02.239
write her tell all memoir, butation remains would people actually

31
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:05.840
want to read it. Meghan Michael could potentially earn tens

32
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.080
of millions of dollars as publishing houses vying for the

33
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:10.560
chance to publish her memoir with the belief that she

34
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:12.879
could provide an insight into the Royals that noone else

35
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.479
could share. However, a recent poll suggests that public interest

36
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.800
may not be as high as anticipated. In a survey

37
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:23.240
conducted by Mirror, readers were asked would you read Meghan

38
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:27.000
michaels tell All memoir. Out of those polled, three hundred

39
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.599
and twenty four people agreed with the blunt response I'm

40
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:33.039
not reading that. Only two hundred ninety five respondents said

41
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.000
they would be fascinated by it, while one hundred and

42
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:37.960
twenty four remained undecided. If Meghan does decide to write

43
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.240
her memoir, it is expected to cause a stir within

44
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.080
the royal household, much like Prince Harry's book Spare, which

45
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:46.960
made several sensational claims, including details of scuffles with Prince William.

46
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.840
In this relationship with King Charles, there is speculation that

47
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:53.520
Meghan's memoir could revisit explosive moments, such as the claim

48
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:56.280
made during the couple's interview with Oprah about a royal

49
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.680
family member questioning the skin color of their son Archie

50
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:03.400
I remark the caused outrage in the UK. Despite the

51
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.319
intrigue surrounding the potential memoir, it seems that many Brits

52
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.800
are indifferent. When Mirror reader remarked I wouldn't read anything

53
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.000
by her or him, another reader, Jane Powell, added there

54
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.800
will be more truth in a Barbara Cartland, while a

55
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:18.800
third russ Spiker dismissed the idea, saying not into that

56
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:23.120
kind of fiction. Tom Sykes in The Daily Beast writs

57
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:26.000
under the headline King Charles Australia trip is all about

58
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.800
proving he isn't dying from Sikes. In February, when the

59
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:33.560
King was diagnosed with cancer and made the unprecedented decision

60
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.319
to announce his condition to the world, prompting his son

61
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.520
Prince Arry to fly home from California at a moment's

62
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:42.240
notice and civil servants to update their funeral planning, there

63
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:44.479
were few who really believe that just eight months later

64
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.639
he would be able to fly around the world. Charles

65
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.560
and his aides know full well that the King's health

66
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.960
will be under microscopic scrutiny as never before for the

67
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.479
week of engagements traveling around Australia that ensues. There is

68
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.919
always a risk that foreign trips can go off piece

69
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.560
because the Palace have to rely on outside agencies for

70
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.360
security and cannot control the media in the same way

71
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:06.800
as they can at home. From Kate Middleton being snapped

72
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.520
sunbathing topless on holiday in the South of France to

73
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.759
the death of Princess Diana in Paris. Variables are harder

74
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.120
to control when the Royals leave their domain, whether on

75
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:17.959
official business or not. It's a risk this time, As

76
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.639
one former royal staff and told The Daily Beast, the

77
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:24.480
Royal Rota, the accredited pack of British royal correspondence traveling

78
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:26.759
with the King aren't too much of a problem. They

79
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.199
aren't going to say anything controversial about Charles's health unless

80
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.920
he literally falls down dead in the street. But the

81
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.120
Australian media aren't operating under the same kind of restrictions.

82
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.959
If anything goes wrong on the tour, from a bad

83
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.120
trip or a fall, or a canceled engagement or god forbid,

84
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:43.720
an early exit, they will go to town on it,

85
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.240
and the British emerita will probably then evaporate in its wake.

86
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.560
The decision to travel to Australia in some senses a gamble.

87
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:53.720
The former courtier says, it's all about proving he isn't dying.

88
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.600
To be blunt, the problem is that if anything goes wrong,

89
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.439
people will lead to the opposite conclusion. It's make or

90
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.720
break for charl I think the gamble is also arguably

91
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.879
an unnecessary one. Charles obviously wants to do it. It

92
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:08.120
will be his first trip to a foreign British realm

93
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:10.879
the official term for a foreign country which counts him

94
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.600
as head of state, but that does not necessarily mean

95
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.720
it is wise. The thirty thousand mile round trip could

96
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.480
have been shelved without a breath of criticism. Earlier this year.

97
00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:22.240
The King's wife, Queen Camilla, is among those who are

98
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.399
believed to have urged the seventy five year old king

99
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:27.360
to think twice about a Longhoul voyage and a grueling

100
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.279
schedule of meat and greets well Palace in just a moment.

101
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.759
The King will likely be encouraged by recent polls in

102
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.040
Australia that show strong support for the monarchy as he

103
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.000
prepares for his historic tour of the country. This follows

104
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.079
a report by The Daily Mail which revealed that the

105
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.639
King had written to Republican campaigners expressing his deep love

106
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.399
for Australia and acknowledging that any debate about its future

107
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.319
is entirely up to the Australian people. As King of

108
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:58.160
Australia and the nation's head of a state, Charles received

109
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.759
a boost from a poll published in Yesterday's Daily Telegraph

110
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.399
in Sydney. The poll revealed that one in four respondents

111
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.160
now view King Charles more favorably than before his coronation,

112
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:11.199
with only five percent feeling less positive. Additionally, support for

113
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.800
Australia becoming a republic has dropped, with just one in

114
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.680
three backing the idea, down from the thirty nine point

115
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.720
four percent who voted for it in the nineteen ninety

116
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.040
nine referendum. The King's tour comes amid reports that he

117
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:25.519
will pause his cancer treatment during the trip. The seventy

118
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:27.399
five year old monarch is said to begin his official

119
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.279
visit on October eighteenth, covering Sydney and Canberra before heading

120
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:33.839
to Samoa for a state visit. While in Samoa, he

121
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:38.240
will attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting. The King

122
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:40.720
got a preview of his birthday cake during a recent

123
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.680
visit to Dumfries's House. King Charles was all smiles when

124
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.800
members of the Nitwise group presented him with a unique gift,

125
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:51.000
a knitted birthday cake. The intricate creation made by participants

126
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.000
in the Nitwise program, was part of the celebrations for

127
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.160
the tenth anniversary of the Future Textiles program Nitwise, launched

128
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.000
in twenty twenty aims to preserve and strengthen the local

129
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.279
knitting industry. A knitted cake, which delight in the King,

130
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.720
is said to be displayed at the Garrison Chapel in Chelsea,

131
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.199
where the King's Foundation exhibits works from its various initiatives.

132
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.560
The King's birthday isn't until next month, but at least

133
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.160
we know what his cake looks like. We suspect we'll

134
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.639
have other cakes as well. Prince George, who may one

135
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:22.000
day inherit the throne, won't be expected to follow in

136
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:25.040
the military footsteps of his four bears, breaking a tradition

137
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.199
that spans centuries. According to reports from The Mail on

138
00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:32.040
Sunday last year, however, his ambitions might take a different turn,

139
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.839
perhaps into the culinary well. During a visit to Wyveton

140
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:39.040
Hall Cafe in Norfolk, George now eleven, was reportedly so

141
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.560
taken where the restaurants wood fired pizza that he declared,

142
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:44.360
that's what I want to do when I grow up.

143
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.319
The cafe, located near Blakeney, is owned by Desmond McCarthy,

144
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.759
who featured in the twenty sixteen BBC twos series Normal

145
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:54.839
for Norfolk. McCarthy reveals George as a sweet boy, though

146
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:57.959
he humorously noted that kids become less appealing as they

147
00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.839
grow up. Visit the cafe with his mother, Catherine, the

148
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.519
Princess of Wales and a group of friends. As Sandringham,

149
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.720
where Prince William and Catherine's holiday home and the Hall

150
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.639
is located, isn't far from Wyveton Hall. While the young

151
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.399
Prince might dream of a career in the kitchen, unfortunately,

152
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.160
his chosen venue is closing next month. Up to seventeen

153
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:20.639
years of business. Despite its acclaim including praise from Deliah

154
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.279
Smith for serving the best food in Britain, the cafe

155
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:27.319
has faced rising costs and staffing challenges. McCarthy reflected on

156
00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.800
the closure, saying it's sad when things change, but I

157
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.360
believe something else will happen in time. Though the cafe

158
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:35.799
had a busy summer, it struggled to remain viable year round,

159
00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:39.080
a challenge for many seasonal businesses. So while George may

160
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:41.440
have to look elsewhere for his pizza making dreams, the

161
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:45.080
sentiment remains even future kings can have down to earth ambitions.

162
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.320
Princess Charlotte has been described as a caring little girl

163
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:52.200
who also knows what she wants as pallace, sources reveal

164
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:55.320
her dream job. According to insiders, Prince William's daughter has

165
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.799
expressed an interest in becoming a nurse after learning from

166
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.519
her father about the vital work of the nags staff.

167
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:03.960
While the older brother, Prince George is destined to become

168
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.120
the king one day, the nine year old Princess Charlotte

169
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:09.799
is expected to hold a significant role within the monarchy. However,

170
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.840
sources suggest she has other aspirations. A palace inside a

171
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.840
told New Idea She's obviously just a little kid, but

172
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:19.759
still Will and Kate swelled with pride. She's such a

173
00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:22.279
caring little girl who also knows what she wants, so

174
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:24.919
they wouldn't be surprised if she does take on nursing

175
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:27.600
as one of her big courses when she's older. As

176
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:30.399
third in line to the British throne, Princess Charlotte is

177
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:32.480
likely to take on a role similar to that of

178
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.440
her great aunt Princess Anne, and will hold senior positions

179
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.960
within the royal family alongside her younger brother, Prince Louis.

180
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:40.919
Despite this, the Prince and Princess of Wales are reportedly

181
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.799
keen for their two younger children to have more independence

182
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.360
in their future careers. Roy lexper Camilla Tominy has said

183
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:49.320
that William and Kate would like Charlotte and Louis to

184
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:52.240
have their own careers if they choose to pursue them.

185
00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.879
Regarding Prince Louis, who is just six years old, the

186
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.159
royal couple hopes to avoid him becoming a royal hanger on.

187
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:02.039
Former BBC Royal cro splendent Jenny Bond previously told her

188
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:05.000
Okay that William and Kat likely mindful of the challenges

189
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.360
faced by the royal spare. Bond added, they have already

190
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.639
shown that they have a different and modern attitude of

191
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:12.919
bringing up royal children, and I'm sure they would do

192
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.919
everything to make Charlotte and Louis feel every bit as special,

193
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:18.879
loved and valued as George. She also noted the couple

194
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.320
will likely encourage Louis to explore opportunities outside the royal sphere,

195
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.600
perhaps in the military or charity work, and to pursue

196
00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:30.360
higher education, as both William and Kate did. And there
