00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:15.039
Caloroga Shark Media, Hello and welcome through Palace intriegame host
2
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:15.880
mark for answers.
3
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:19.879
The Sussexes made quite the entrance in New York yesterday,
4
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:24.120
arriving with their signature four car motorcade for Meghan's keynote
5
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:26.519
speech at the time one hundred Summit. But it wasn't
6
00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.559
the vehicles that caught everyone's attention. It was the rather
7
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:33.960
telling body language between the Duke and duchess. Body language
8
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.159
expert Judy James offered some rather fascinating insights into the
9
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.679
couple's dynamic, noting that Harry appeared to be in full
10
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:45.159
spare mode, essentially scurrying around like his wife's security as
11
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.719
she sweeps into the venue like the total star. Not
12
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.560
exactly the picture of equal partnership we might expect. Most
13
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.320
revealing was the moment Harry reached out to touch his wife,
14
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:59.880
only to be seemingly ignored. As James describes it, Meghan
15
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.119
ignores her husband, though despite the fact that his hand
16
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.680
is raised to touch her. The rejection apparently left Harry
17
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.959
in what James calls a small body language quandary, resulting
18
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:13.400
in the Prince awkwardly dropping his eyes and fiddling with
19
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:16.159
the back of his pants to avoid being left hanging.
20
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:20.760
One almost feels a twinge of sympathy. The scene continued
21
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.000
with Megan hugging the host, but making no move to
22
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.239
introduce her husband. Instead, she just turns and strides her
23
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.280
head into the venue, leaving Harry waving one hand out
24
00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.159
in the air as he follows behind her. Not exactly
25
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.239
the power couple image they've worked so hard to cultivate.
26
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.959
During her actual keynote, Meghan spoke about creating boundaries for
27
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.840
mental health and her hopes for raising a very strong
28
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.319
and confident young woman in littlebit while ensuring Archie grows
29
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.560
up with a confidence and sense of self that is
30
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.599
going to empower the women around him. Admirable sentiments, though
31
00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:54.879
perhaps some of that empowerment might start closer to home.
32
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.640
Fashion watchers were quick to note Meghan's choice of attire
33
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.920
for the event, a five thousand dollars Ralph Lauren silk
34
00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:05.079
Linen suit that bore a striking resemblance to an outfit
35
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.840
worn by our Wonderful Princess of Wales last year. Catherine
36
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.120
donned a similar camel ensemble when visiting a youth charity
37
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:14.919
in East London. In twenty twenty three, though with one
38
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:19.199
significant difference, Meghan opted for the gen Z approved oversized
39
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.560
fit with notably baggy trousers. The similarity didn't go unnoticed
40
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.639
on social media, with one particularly biting comments suggesting that
41
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.240
Catherine did it better and her suit was correctly ironed.
42
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.800
Others pointed to a pattern, noting that this isn't the
43
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:36.479
first time the Duchess has appeared to take style accues
44
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.759
from her sister in law, with similar coincidences dating back
45
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:44.000
to Meghan's earliest royal appearances. Of course, some fans defended
46
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:46.560
the Duchess, insisting she's an icon in her own right,
47
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.360
but the comparisons continue to follow her, suggesting the shadow
48
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:54.080
of the royal family and particularly Catherine, still looms large
49
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.520
in the Sussex orbit. Tom Bower, the royal biographer best
50
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.759
known for stirring the pot with his twenty twenty two
51
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.960
volume Revenge Megan Harry and the War between the Windsors,
52
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:06.759
is preparing a second installment on the Duke and Duchess
53
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.000
of Sussex, who promised us it will contain even more
54
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.879
explosive revelations. Speaking about his upcoming work, mister Bower said,
55
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.159
I've got a lot of new material already, and I
56
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.879
think the whole world wants new insights. It's an amazing story.
57
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:22.919
It's an eye wateringly unique story because it's unprecedented. This
58
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.319
is such a famous couple who are fighting for themselves
59
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:28.120
all the time. They are relentless and they are restless,
60
00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:31.639
and that's what makes it so interesting. They have both
61
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.000
been wounded, and what's fascinating about them is they don't
62
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.520
stop fighting back, and the fight back is just as
63
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.879
important as their survival. They have a crisis. Megan wants
64
00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:43.039
to be a billionaire celebrity, and Harry doesn't understand that world.
65
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.719
Other than understanding that Megan wants to be famous. He
66
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:49.080
spent his whole life never having a penny in his pocket.
67
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.639
He's never regularly traveled on the tube, never had to
68
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.800
worry about having a car on a job. So he
69
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.240
doesn't understand where she's coming from, which is that she
70
00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:01.080
worked phenomenally hard, struggled hard, and was constant humiliated and
71
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.000
wants the security of finance status. She hasn't got the
72
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.639
status she craves. She hasn't got the pulling power. He's
73
00:04:06.639 --> 00:04:10.159
stuck in California, clinging onto his royal status as is
74
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:15.520
she Harry's thinking is of reconciliation. That's just totally unrealistic.
75
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:18.519
There is zero chance of reconciliation because there is a
76
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.000
reconcilable anger on the part of William and Kate. No
77
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:26.399
publication date has been confirmed for the new book. Pallacentric
78
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:33.800

90
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.199
the scenes. Here in the Daily Mail, Richard Eden writes
91
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.199
as one of Harry's closest allies tells me. The barrage
92
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:21.399
of criticism serves only to intensify his loyalty to Megan,
93
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.680
whom he met in twenty sixteen, sparking a relationship which,
94
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.720
in Harry's love struck words, spoted from zero to sixty.
95
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.639
It's horrible for him to know that people don't like
96
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.879
his wife, reflects his chum. He adores her and he
97
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.439
doesn't think she deserves any of the backlash or criticism
98
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.680
that has been thrown at her over the past few years.
99
00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:41.079
He's told us that the more people hate her, the
100
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.519
more he's going to stand by her. He's vowed to
101
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.639
always protect the mother of his kids. Fears are mounting
102
00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.000
within royal circles that Prince Harry may be preparing to
103
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:53.680
publish a second tell all memoir, following what some commentators
104
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.279
have described as a veiled threat made during his recent
105
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:59.079
legal appeal in London. While much of the hearing was
106
00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.879
held in private for security reasons, the Prince gave an
107
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.360
interview to The Telegraph shortly afterwards, in which he remarked
108
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.959
that his worst fears had been confirmed during the closed session.
109
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:12.720
He added ominously, people would be shocked by what's being
110
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:16.279
held back that particular phrase and set off alarm bells
111
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.680
among Royal watchers and insiders alike. Appearing on The Sun's
112
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:24.040
Royal Exclusive show gb News, Royal correspondent Cameron Walker addressed
113
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.560
the growing speculation, saying perhaps it was a bit of
114
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.279
a veiled threat from Harry if he loses this case,
115
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:32.279
is he going to throw his toys out of the
116
00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:34.759
pram and publish or speak to a publication about some
117
00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:37.800
of that private stuff that we heard in court. Walker
118
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:40.560
went on to note that in interview's promoting Spare Prince
119
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.199
Harry admitted he had enough material for a second memoirle
120
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:45.959
I think Pallace sources are going to be slightly concerned
121
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.240
about that one, he said. They're probably hoping, just going
122
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:51.439
back to whether he's going to write a book or
123
00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:54.560
not that Harry and Meghan's California dream is going to
124
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.759
work out. The quiet hills of Montecito are anything but
125
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.519
serene of late, as the community contends with the most
126
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:06.439
Unroyal invasion tourists. A narrow road near the region's popular
127
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.360
hot springs has become the scene of some distinctly un
128
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:13.319
Montecito like chaos as cars and tour buses sworn the
129
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.800
area and such numbers that homeowners are reportedly resorting to
130
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:21.120
rather creative forms of protest. According to the Montecito Journal,
131
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:24.279
residents have attempted to block the makeshift car parks by
132
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.759
placing bushes and boulders in the way, only for them
133
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.360
to be promptly removed by the authorities. The last time
134
00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.720
I tried to hike the Hot Springs trail, I had
135
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:35.480
to park so far away that it would have been
136
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.560
a hike to get to the hike, lamented Laura Capps,
137
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:42.560
chair of the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors. Things
138
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:44.920
reached a new level of farce last May when one
139
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.959
group of residents reportedly attempted to hire a demolition crew
140
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.839
to destroy the Hot Springs altogether, a move which would
141
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.720
certainly put a rather final end to the tourism issue,
142
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.399
but perhaps not the best foot forward in terms of
143
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.759
