Meghan Markle's Millennial Mom Vibes, Montecito Shade & LEGO Beheadings

0:03 Calorogu Shark Media, Hello and welcome through Pallace Intrigue and your host Mark Francis. Remember Kennedy while apparently she's writing for the Daily Mail and got our attention under the headline what Meghan's neighbors are all brutally laughing about behind her back, revealed to Kennedy by her Montecito mole. Kennedy has a source who says when the princess thing didn't work out, she reverted to the person she was when Harry found her. She's trying to say she's exceedingly normal, which she isn't. It's all very la Actress Kennedy adds, it's glaringly obvious. She doesn't get it. I'm told it proves people don't really change, and all along she just wanted to be an influencer and TV star. If Harry thought his American wife was going to be Miss USA, he's sorely mistaken. Remember those twenty twenty rumors about Meghan considering a run for the US cent PTA president would be a stretch now. Frankly, I think it's sad these moneyed montecetents whispering behind Megan's back must feel like a devastating blow to a woman who seems like she's finding it impossible to fit in anywhere. Alice Taylor writes in Vogue, if you visit certain corners of the Internet or read certain papers, you'll find yourself among a populus convinced that Megan Markel is some sort of manipulative, narcissistic mastermind. I'm not a psychiatrist, so I'll refrain from weighing on what personality traits Markel does or does not have, nor have

1:34 I ever met. Megansol also refrained from commenting on what she is or is not like, but I won't refrain from this Markal's Instagram presence makes her seem so harmlessly millennial. Everything has a filter. She loves a black and white photo captions containing the crying laughing emoji. Gen Z prefers the skull. She posts mood boards with cheesy sayings that seem plucked from Pinterest. You cannot make everybody happy. You are not a jar of nattella or I love you with all my butt, I would say hart, but my butt is bigger. There are also video slide shows and random photos with text overlaid. My husband's hat gets a twirl reads a red caption over a photo of Prince Harry's cowboy hat from Chemo Sabi. Before Meghan Michael joined the Royal Family, she had her own Instagram. She posted overly saturated travel photos with her back to the camera, yoga poses, ponies, and inspirational quotes in millennial pink like find what you love, Love what you find. Nearly everything was followed by a hashtag. But then in twenty eighteen she logged off. It took her seven years, in a dramatic move from the United Kingdom to log back on, this time under the username of at Meghan. But while the rest of us had moved into a candid, darker toned photo dump style of posting, Meghan went right back to the highly saturated filter inness. Her fans might call it endearing, but no matter where you fall on that MARKB, you can't deny its disarming. It's hard to have strong angry feelings about a woman who posts cheesy quotes about Natlla,

3:07 awkwardly dances in a hospital room, or posts captions about her children that says love you more than all the stars in the sky, all the rain drops, and all the salt on all the French fries in all the world. By posting like well, a slightly unhip mom, it actually makes her seem a slightly unhip mom. And guess what slightly unhip moms are likable? Celia Ward writes in the Telegraph under the headline, Megan seems to be chumping at the bit to monetize her kids. They're the only thing she has left. Celia rights another day, another image of the kids they fought so hard to keep out of the spotlight, offered up to the world's prying eyes. Capitalizing on your kids as a slippery slope for public figures, and Meghan is hurtling down it. I give it a year until the Berbery Kids campaign. A girlfriend messaged me back in March after the Duchess was accused of using Archie and Lillabit as clickbait and an act of desperation to promote her new online shop, dubbed Megan's male because we're all thinking the same thing, because she's tried everything else, and the cynical marketeers are right, those kids could very well be the answer to everything. First, they give Megan the relatability fact that she has always lacked, partly by being very beautiful, partly by making a series of bad judgment calls from the start. These poor judgment calls extend right up to the present day. Choosing to play a little old homebody making pasta sauce on screen and an all white outfit not something any mother in the history of pasta source has ever done. But motherhood is the

4:38 great unifier, and gen Z were reportedly delighted by the video of her baby Mamma Dance. Why because it was real and showed the forty three year old to be just as fun, goofy and normal as every mum to be. So you can expect plenty more where that came from. Second, the children will keep her relevant and yes, that word comes with dollar signs attached. When those children are royal, they go from being useful to invaluable. Quite how Meghan plans to explain her pivot from Duchess of Privacy to Chris Jenna remains to be seen. If I were to hazard a guess, I predict a carefully worded talk show tirade about how the children shouldn't have to hide from the well just because of the family they were born into.

5:19 For that reason, she and has have decided to let the kids run free and into the limelight. You have to be completely unashamed to pull off that kind of u turn. But I don't think that'll be a problem. Well Palace in just a moment. Mike Tindall is getting personal. The former England rugby star and royal by marriage, has announced a new book with his The Good, The Bad and the Rugby podcast co hosts Alex Payne and James Haskell. The trios follow up to their first book, Unleashed, will be titled The Good, the Bad and the Rugby Unlocked and is set for release on November sixth. According to the team, the next installment goes even deeper, promising to share the personal, the vulnerable and the downright absurd. A statement teased from the games that made them to the moments they've never shared. This is nearly sixty years of raw, real and ridiculous rugby stories laid bare. The book will recount the highs and heartbreaks of their careers, as well as the behind the scenes chaos that fans never saw.

6:20 As the announcement puts it, this time it's personal. The Cromwell Museum is selling a figure of Charles the first It was made by United Bricks using Lego parts and printed. The figurine comes with a sword. Also available as an Oliver Cromwell figure, which comes with the hat and sword. If you like the full play set, there's also an officer who also has a sword, a pikeman, and a musket teer. King Charles the First and Oliver Cromwell were central figures and one of the most turbulent periods of English history, the English Civil War. Charles, a staunch believer in the divine rights of kings, clashed repeatedly with Parliament over authority and taxation, leading to open conflict in sixteen forty two. His authoritarian style and religious policies alienated many, particularly the Puritans. Oliver Cromwell, a skilled military leader and devout Puritan, rose to prominence commanding the parliamentarian New Model Army.

7:11 After a series of decisive battles, Charles was captured, tried for trees, and the publicly executed in sixteen forty nine, an unprecedented act that shocked Europe. Cromwell then abolished the monarchy and ruled as Lord Protector during the Commonwealth period, effectively becoming a monarch in all but name and now you can re enact all that with Lego and they have It's like to email us address as the Palace intric at gmail dot com.
