0:03 Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue Game, your host Mark Francis. Sadly, Megan Michael's Netflix series will not be returning for a third season, according to reports, after the second run failed to break into the platform's top ten. The Duchess of Sussex launched her cooking and lifestyle show with Love Megan last year, releasing two seasons of eight episodes. Each Viewer reaction was mixed, with critics and audiences alike offering sharp criticism, and the second season struggled to gain traction when it premiered in August, and Inside A told Page six it's not returning as a series.
0:43 There have been conversations about holiday specials, but there's nothing in the works yet. The source added that Megan is now focusing on promoting her lifestyle brand as Ever in what were described as more bite sized ways. Netflix is still understood to have a relationship with Megan through her brand as Eva, which could be incorporated into future holiday programming. The Sussexes also continued to hold a first look deal with the platform, even as reports suggest their broader overall deal is winding down. The Netflix series joins two podcasts as examples of megan media that did not last long. The second day of the High Court trial brought by Harry against Associated Newspapers Limited, began on Tuesday morning, with the Prince arriving at the Royal Courts of Justice shortly after ten o'clock. The Duke, who was one of seven high profile figures suing the publisher of The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday, was accompanied by members of his legal team and was seen smiling at supporters outside the court.
1:41 Has proceedings resumed. Actress Elizabeth Hurley also attended court in person. Harry and Hurley were the only two claimants to appear in person on both Monday and Tuesday. Inside court, barrister David Sherburne, representing the claimants, continued opening submissions. He told the court that Prince Harry's personal watershed moment came in twenty twenty when he learned about admissions made by private investigators. Sherburne said the Duke had previously believed denials given on oath by former Daily Mail editor Paul Daker at the Levison inquiry, adding as a result, to use the all important phrase from authorities, the Duke of Sussex, was put off the scent. The court also heard the articles at the center of Harry's claim, published between twenty one and thirteen, focused primarily and in a highly intrusive and damaging way, on his personal relationships prior to meeting Megan, the Duchess of Sussex. Sherburne said the reporting involved tracking Harry's movements, Noting the potentially serious security implications in written evidence already submitted, The Duke said it was disturbing to feel that my every move thought or feeling was being tracked so the publisher could make money out of it. The court was told this left him feeling paranoid beyond belief and placed a massive strain on his personal relationships. As the court adjourned for lunch, Prince Hary was seen leaving the building.
3:02 When proceedings resumed in the afternoon, both Harry and Elizabeth Hurley were no longer present in the court room. During the afternoon session, Associated Newspapers barrister Anthony White KC. Began setting out the defense case. He told the court that the publisher rejects the allegations on both factual and legal grounds, saying Associated has provided an explanation through a long series of witnesses of the sourcing by its journalists of the fifty plus articles alleged by the claimant to be the product of unlawful information gathering. He added, we don't pretend that the account is perfect and covers every detail, but we do say that overall it provides a compelling account of the pattern of legitimate sourcing of articles. White also argued that the claims had been brought too late and suggested the claimants, including the Duke of Sussex, at leaky social circles where information supplied by contacts press officers, publicists, freelance journalists and prior reporting. Closing his opening remarks for the day, Sherborne's said that if the claimants were successful, damages would need to be significant, but stressed it is not the claim for damages that brings these claimants here.
4:08 It is the uncovering of the truth of what was done to them and associated taking accountability for that. The trial, which is expected to last nine weeks, continues. Prince Harry is due to return to High Court later this week to give evidence. On Thursday, a new report is dissecting Prince Harry and Megan Markel's latest social media post with a body language expert claiming the short dance video reveals mismatched energy between the couple. Radar online dot Com cites body language specialist Tracy Brown, who said he certainly isn't as excited or engaged in this as she is, pointing to the opening moments of the video where Harry stands with his hands in his pockets while Meghan dances toward him with her arms raised. Meghan captured the post when twenty twenty six fields just like twenty sixteen, you had to be there, referencing the early days of her relation ship with Prince Harry, alongside an old photo of the couple on holiday in Botswana. Brown said the contrast in their body language was striking, adding to start there on really different pages. He's looking away as she moves towards him, very excited with her hands in the air. Brown explained that raised hands often signaled heightened excitement, saying Meghan appeared as excited as you can get. By comparison, she described Harry as more restrained at the beginning, noting he does reach for her, but isn't nearly as excited as his feet as still, he does pull her close and their pelvises are pressed together. There's no daylight there, so that says they're close. She also pointed to the pair touching foreheads, which she said is another sign of intimacy. Brown also
5:41 highlighted a visible jump cut in the video, suggesting something that's been removed. She said, there is a cut in the video, so something went wrong in there that they didn't want us to see. The expert further questioned Meghan's claimed that the footage was filmed by the couple's four year old daughter, Princess Lilla Bit. Brown said, I have my doubts that a four year old filmed this trained really nicely. She added that the only plausible explanation would be technical assistance, saying either way, she certainly wasn't in charge. Reaction online has been divided. Critics mocked the video as overly staged, while supporters praised the couple's affection. Meghan has been quite active on social Harry is Away. A new cliper showed the family's backyard in Montecito with outdoor chairs and a bin of chalk set out for drawing, before panning to the pool where four year old Princess Lilibet was seen swimming alongside her grandmother Doria Ragland. The video also lingered on two palm trees joined at the base, feature Megan previously highlighted in a twenty twenty two interview with The Cut. She recalled that when she and Prince Harry first two of the house, he remarked on the trees, saying, my love, it's us. Other clips showed Princess Lilibet proudly displaying a handwritten farmer's market list decorated with colorful drawings, while Prince Archie Sex was filmed feeding leaves to a rhinoceros.
6:55 Megan also shared a photo of herself offering letters to a giraffe tagged the Living Desert Zoo Gardens More Palace in just a Moment.
