Meghan Markle’s Netflix Pivot, Gisele Joins Earthshot, and the Waleses’ Next Chapter

0:03 Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue host Mark for Ancis. It sounds like Meghan's Netflix cooking show is over, even if she can't quite admit it. Meghan teesday new project during her appearance at Fortune's Most Powerful Women's Summit in Washington, DC. When asked whether fans could expect a third season of With Love, Meghan the Duchess offered a cryptic answer that seemed to hint it more to come. The holiday special is coming out in November, and that's a really good one. So we're able to say eight episodes for two seasons.

0:46 It's a lot of work. She went on to explain that her team is now experimenting with short video content instead of full length programming. I also recognize how much people want content in different sizes. So part of what we're testing out now is it's amazing to be able to sit and watch a show for thirty minutes, But how can I give you a recipe in two minutes? And where can I share that with you? And how that continues to grow as ever, so exploring all the options of what it could look like. She compared her deal to that of the Obamas, my husband and I were in an overall deal with Netflix, and then not just similar to higher ground in the Obama's deal. Once that had come to its term, the extension of it, which was such an incredible sign of the strength of our partnership, was now being in a first look deal, which is also exciting because it gives us flexibilities to go to our partners first, and then at the same time to be able to shop content that might not be the right fit for Netflix, but as a home somewhere else. So for our nonscripted team and our scripted team, we've been doing a lot of content development that can meet different rooms. Megan reflected on the period following her and Prince Harry's moved to the United States, describing it as the time of nesting and healing. The Duchess told Fortune editor in chief Alison Chantell that when when they first stepped back from royal life five years ago, there was no master plan in place. You know, Archie was so little, and I had just gotten pregnant with Lily around the same time, so we were nesting and healing, she said. And also I don't know I had the bandwidth at the time to think about what the big pictured dream was. There was no plan. It was just

2:18 let's get through these next couple of years create a community, which was always so important to both of us in our new environment. Those five years at home, I wasn't running around wearing beautiful outfits. I was probably in broken stocks and sweats like the rest of us, especially during COVID, or just barefoot at home. But I was making a lot of jams. So it ended up becoming the thing that really was my passion project. Chantel noted Megan's well wind travel schedule, saying, You've been to Europe. You were just in New York, which, congratulations. You just won a humanitarian award for your work with online safety for parents and children, and you made it home for one day to see your kids. Megan laughter replied because I had to. Everyone said, oh, you must have gone from Paris straight to New York. I said, no, I need to see my babies, back to California for a day, and then continued on. Royal commentator Phil Dampier has cast doubt on Harriet Megan's latest recognition for humanitarian work, questioning how the couple can be celebrated for their philanthropy while remaining estranged from their own families. Speaking on the Sun's Royal Exclusive Show, Dampier said, it does make me laugh when they get these humanitarian awards. They can't even make peace with their own families. She won't even see her own father, and yet they are held up as these great philanthropists and humanitarians.

3:33 William and Kate did their best to distract the media from the humanitarians by wearing tweed. The Prince and Princess of Weals marked the arrival of autumn with an official visit to Longmeadows side of Farm in Craigavon, Northern Ireland, and their coordinated seasonal style once again drew admiration. Kate and William stepped out in perfectly complimentary tones, embracing a palette of deep greens and warm brown's ideal for the crisp October weather. The Princess chose a forest green jacket paired with dark trousers and boots, while the Prince echoed her look with a brown coat lay it over a green sweater. Their understated coordination, always in sync without ever looking overdone, has become something of a royal signature. The couple's relaxed yet polished appearance matched the setting perfectly as they toured the side of farm, learned about local production, and met with workers and community members to celebrate the region's harvest season. It was, in short, a quintessentially autumnal outing, full of color, charm and quiet royal confidence. But we still talked about Megan first in the podcast. Palace intrig will be right back.

William was said to be facing a growing royal crisis, with a pool of working family members of shrinking and public demand for royal appearances remaining high. Royal commentator Christopher Wilson suggests Lady Louise wins Up, the twenty one year old daughter of Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie, could be tapped to fill the gaps. Wilson described Lady Louise as a dark horse contender who charms all who meet her, and could be a decorative and useful asset to the royal team. However, you know that her mother remains vastly protective and may prefer to keep her daughter out of the spotlight. Her parents, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, have long been deliberate about giving both Louise and a brother, James, as normal life as possible, despite being entitled to royal titles as grandchildren of the late Queen. Know that users the HRH style.

6:10 Soph he explained The Times in twenty twenty. We try to bring them up with the understanding that they are very likely to have to work for a living. Hence we made the decision not to use HRH titles. William has unwittingly turned a centuries old Windsor pub into a tourist hotspot after enjoying a quiet pint there. During his recent appearance on The Reluctant Traveler with Eugene Levy, the Prince was filmed sharing a relaxed drink with the Schit's Creek star at the Two Brewers, an eighteenth century pub just a short walk from Windsor Castle. Since the episode aired on Apple TV, visitors from as far afield as the United States, Germany, and Japan have been flocking to the spot, eager to sit with the future king once enjoyed his cider. Landlord Stuart O'Brien said, the table where the Prince sat has already been dubbed the throne by guests.

6:56 I think I may have to get a plaque made and put it up on the day. Well now, he joked, some people have already been in, specifically because they saw the program and knew about the pub. I'm sure people will love coming here to sip where the future King had a drink. O'Brien revealed that William stepped on a seven pound fifty pints of Inches cider, while Levy opted for a Guinness. It really was a privilege to have him here in the pub. It was such a lovely guy, he said. And there you have it. Like to email us who addresses the Palace Intrigue at gmail on dot com.
