Meghan Markle’s Netflix Pivot, Gisele Joins Earthshot, and the Waleses’ Next Chapter
Is With Love, Meghan quietly winding down? The Duchess hints the holiday special drops in November while her Netflix relationship shifts to a first-look deal—and she talks “nesting and healing,” short-form food content, and life post-royal. Plus: critics question the couple’s humanitarian kudos; William and Kate lean into autumn core at a Northern Ireland cider farm; Gisele Bündchen joins the Earthshot Prize Council; insiders say the Wales family’s “forever home” is nearly ready; royal-watchers float Lady Louise as a potential working royal; and a Windsor local pub becomes a surprise tourist magnet after William’s pint with Eugene Levy.

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:19.600
Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue host Mark for Ancis.
3
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.199
It sounds like Meghan's Netflix cooking show is over, even
4
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.839
if she can't quite admit it. Meghan teesday new project
5
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:31.160
during her appearance at Fortune's Most Powerful Women's Summit in Washington, DC.
6
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.119
When asked whether fans could expect a third season of
7
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.840
With Love, Meghan the Duchess offered a cryptic answer that
8
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:39.719
seemed to hint it more to come. The holiday special
9
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.840
is coming out in November, and that's a really good one.
10
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.960
So we're able to say eight episodes for two seasons.
11
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.679
It's a lot of work. She went on to explain
12
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.439
that her team is now experimenting with short video content
13
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:54.880
instead of full length programming. I also recognize how much
14
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:58.079
people want content in different sizes. So part of what
15
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.520
we're testing out now is it's amazing to be able
16
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.479
to sit and watch a show for thirty minutes, But
17
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:04.280
how can I give you a recipe in two minutes?
18
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.680
And where can I share that with you? And how
19
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:09.879
that continues to grow as ever, so exploring all the
20
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.719
options of what it could look like. She compared her
21
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.000
deal to that of the Obamas, my husband and I
22
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:19.560
were in an overall deal with Netflix, and then not
23
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.079
just similar to higher ground in the Obama's deal. Once
24
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.040
that had come to its term, the extension of it,
25
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.120
which was such an incredible sign of the strength of
26
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.640
our partnership, was now being in a first look deal,
27
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:33.760
which is also exciting because it gives us flexibilities to
28
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:35.640
go to our partners first, and then at the same
29
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:37.920
time to be able to shop content that might not
30
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.760
be the right fit for Netflix, but as a home
31
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:44.239
somewhere else. So for our nonscripted team and our scripted team,
32
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.519
we've been doing a lot of content development that can
33
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:51.519
meet different rooms. Megan reflected on the period following her
34
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.719
and Prince Harry's moved to the United States, describing it
35
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.599
as the time of nesting and healing. The Duchess told
36
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.239
Fortune editor in chief Alison Chantell that when when they
37
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.159
first stepped back from royal life five years ago, there
38
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.840
was no master plan in place. You know, Archie was
39
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.360
so little, and I had just gotten pregnant with Lily
40
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:11.479
around the same time, so we were nesting and healing,
41
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:13.840
she said. And also I don't know I had the
42
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:15.759
bandwidth at the time to think about what the big
43
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:18.280
pictured dream was. There was no plan. It was just
44
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:21.319
let's get through these next couple of years create a community,
45
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.560
which was always so important to both of us in
46
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.800
our new environment. Those five years at home, I wasn't
47
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.520
running around wearing beautiful outfits. I was probably in broken
48
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.080
stocks and sweats like the rest of us, especially during COVID,
49
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.479
or just barefoot at home. But I was making a
50
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:36.199
lot of jams. So it ended up becoming the thing
51
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.000
that really was my passion project. Chantel noted Megan's well
52
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.000
wind travel schedule, saying, You've been to Europe. You were
53
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.319
just in New York, which, congratulations. You just won a
54
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:48.360
humanitarian award for your work with online safety for parents
55
00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:50.719
and children, and you made it home for one day
56
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.400
to see your kids. Megan laughter replied because I had to.
57
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.759
Everyone said, oh, you must have gone from Paris straight
58
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.000
to New York. I said, no, I need to see
59
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.639
my babies, back to California for a day, and then
60
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:05.840
continued on. Royal commentator Phil Dampier has cast doubt on
61
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:10.639
Harriet Megan's latest recognition for humanitarian work, questioning how the
62
00:03:10.719 --> 00:03:14.719
couple can be celebrated for their philanthropy while remaining estranged
63
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:18.599
from their own families. Speaking on the Sun's Royal Exclusive Show,
64
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.479
Dampier said, it does make me laugh when they get
65
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:25.400
these humanitarian awards. They can't even make peace with their
66
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.639
own families. She won't even see her own father, and
67
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:32.439
yet they are held up as these great philanthropists and humanitarians.
68
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.199
William and Kate did their best to distract the media
69
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.479
from the humanitarians by wearing tweed. The Prince and Princess
70
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:41.479
of Weals marked the arrival of autumn with an official
71
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.479
visit to Longmeadows side of Farm in Craigavon, Northern Ireland,
72
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:50.280
and their coordinated seasonal style once again drew admiration. Kate
73
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.360
and William stepped out in perfectly complimentary tones, embracing a
74
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.960
palette of deep greens and warm brown's ideal for the
75
00:03:56.039 --> 00:04:00.000
crisp October weather. The Princess chose a forest green jacket
76
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.000
paired with dark trousers and boots, while the Prince echoed
77
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.520
her look with a brown coat lay it over a
78
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.400
green sweater. Their understated coordination, always in sync without ever
79
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.080
looking overdone, has become something of a royal signature. The
80
00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:15.960
couple's relaxed yet polished appearance matched the setting perfectly as
81
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:19.519
they toured the side of farm, learned about local production,
82
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.240
and met with workers and community members to celebrate the
83
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:27.959
region's harvest season. It was, in short, a quintessentially autumnal outing,
84
00:04:28.519 --> 00:04:31.160
full of color, charm and quiet royal confidence. But we
85
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.639
still talked about Megan first in the podcast. Palace intrig
86

button up top there on the Apple Player that says
99
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:25.839
listen uninterrupted. We really appreciate the support. William was said
100
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:27.800
to be facing a growing royal crisis, with a pool
101
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.160
of working family members of shrinking and public demand for
102
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:35.240
royal appearances remaining high. Royal commentator Christopher Wilson suggests Lady
103
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.319
Louise wins Up, the twenty one year old daughter of
104
00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:40.199
Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie, could be tapped to fill
105
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.839
the gaps. Wilson described Lady Louise as a dark horse
106
00:05:43.879 --> 00:05:46.800
contender who charms all who meet her, and could be
107
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.519
a decorative and useful asset to the royal team. However,
108
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:53.600
you know that her mother remains vastly protective and may
109
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.759
prefer to keep her daughter out of the spotlight. Her parents,
110
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:59.720
the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, have long been deliberate
111
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:02.160
about giving both Louise and a brother, James, as normal
112
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.720
life as possible, despite being entitled to royal titles as
113
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:09.720
grandchildren of the late Queen. Know that users the HRH style.
114
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.600
Soph he explained The Times in twenty twenty. We try
115
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:14.240
to bring them up with the understanding that they are
116
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.959
very likely to have to work for a living. Hence
117
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:21.759
we made the decision not to use HRH titles. William
118
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.720
has unwittingly turned a centuries old Windsor pub into a
119
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.040
tourist hotspot after enjoying a quiet pint there. During his
120
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.639
recent appearance on The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy, the
121
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.279
Prince was filmed sharing a relaxed drink with the Schit's
122
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:38.000
Creek star at the Two Brewers, an eighteenth century pub
123
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:41.360
just a short walk from Windsor Castle. Since the episode
124
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.000
aired on Apple TV, visitors from as far afield as
125
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.680
the United States, Germany, and Japan have been flocking to
126
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.319
the spot, eager to sit with the future king once
127
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:53.759
enjoyed his cider. Landlord Stuart O'Brien said, the table where
128
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.720
the Prince sat has already been dubbed the throne by guests.
129
00:06:56.839 --> 00:06:58.639
I think I may have to get a plaque made
130
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.839
and put it up on the day. Well now, he joked,
131
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:03.600
some people have already been in, specifically because they saw
132
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.079
the program and knew about the pub. I'm sure people
133
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:07.839
will love coming here to sip where the future King
134
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:11.000
had a drink. O'Brien revealed that William stepped on a
135
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.360
seven pound fifty pints of Inches cider, while Levy opted
136
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:16.319
for a Guinness. It really was a privilege to have
137
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.639
him here in the pub. It was such a lovely guy,
138
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.279
he said. And there you have it. Like to email
