Meghan Markle’s Twerking Video Sparks Royal Outrage: “Crass, Vulgar, Embarrassing

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host Mark for answers. Sarah Vine and The Daily Mail wondered about that twerking video. Why now she writes desperation. Perhaps it's fair to say that the Duke and Duchess's reputation as once Stella Royals has taken quite a beating of late, largely and must be said, as a result of their own actions and behavior. In particular, Megan's attempts to endear herself to the world via her as Ever brand and Netflix cooking show haven't exactly been an unmitigated success. She's been cast as a sort of cross between Gwyneth Paltrow and Nigella Lawson, with mixed results.

0:47 She lacks the sincerity of the former and the warmth of the latter, But the main problem seems to be that she is just so awfully pleased with herself and people, for some reason aren't too keen on that. Maybe she thought that a kookie display twerking might endear her to the masses show how down to earth and normal she is. After all, that dance was a viral hit on TikTok. Perhaps she thought it would frame her as a woman of the people, just another relatable baby mumma doing her thing, or perhaps this is just her taking back control. To coin a phrase, there's a definite sense here that she is trying to write her own narrative, and in a way that's perfectly in keeping with the person she's always been. Right from the start, she seemed determined to do things her way, even if that meant putting a few noses out of joint. But it's hard to see what she wants to achieve with this video, not just because it's crass and vulgar, but also because it really does remove any remaining leg she and the Prince might have to stand on in terms of protecting their privacy. It's possible, of course, that neither of them actually care or cared about that in the first place, that it was just an excuse to get out of Dodge and live their lives their way, in which case fine, But why the scorched earth? Why put everyone through all that agony for what to end up tworking for clicks on Instagram? All I can say is I hope it was worth it.

2:01 Richard Eden on Pallace Confidential said, I assumed it was a I generated It's just so unusual, isn't it. It's not what you expect to see from members of the royal family. If the Princess of Wales have a posts a video like this, I'm giving up royal commentary altogether. What's important for the Royal family is dignity. I think you do have to maintain some dignity and decorum. Yes, that might sound a bit stuffy or whatever, but what are the royals for. Originally they were there to lead us into battle. They're there to represent us, so you expect some dignity. It would be the same for an American president. I don't want to see videos of Donald Trump twerking in the same way I don't want to see members of the Royal family twerking. Well, apparently mister Eaan has not yet seen Trump's way MCA dance moves.

2:43 Charlotte Griffiths from The Mail on Sunday observed, I will say, though Harry is on time with the music, which is surprising for a public schoolboy from Eton. It's so embarrassing, that's so raunchy, you know. It's no wonder the King has been worried over their HRH status because this is very unbecoming a member of the royal family, she said. Reflecting on the video, Charlotte said, I don't know if this is some sort of self sabotage or if she thought she was being cookie. It's sort of like a baby mum, but I'm sorry the rest of us did not dance like that in the birthing Sweet what is it? The TikTokers say felt cute, might delete later. I think Megan should delete this one. In the Express, my Eka smiles writes, listen unapproved. But for the love of God, shouldn't some things remain private, especially for the couple who have talked about the importance of privacy more than any living creature on the planet. I mean, you wouldn't have caught me dancing like this before I gave birth to my children, namely because my mind was less on content creation and more on running down the hospital corridor bare bottom, demanding an epidural. I never got Sharing the clip in this way is kind of, to use an old fashioned phrase, uncouth.

3:44 It's certainly not befitting of royals, which is perhaps exactly her point. And if that is the case, then Meghan pick a lane and do us all the favor and ditch the royal titles rather than shamelessly using them to promote your lifestyle brand. This one made us laugh. The Express she had a note from Washington based foreign policy expert Nail Gardner, who tweeted, this is insane. The Queen would have been appalled. Meghan and Harry's royal title should be removed as soon as possible. Imagine if it is a twerking video, not max It, not Oprah, not spare a four year old twerking video that caused Charles to act. A completely different take comes from Royal historian doctor Tessa Dunlop, who tells the Mirror Meghan is all woman and to hell with what the rest of the world thinks. This was leadership of a very different kind. It is a pity that while the Duchess was working on her rhythm at University in Illinois, Harry was languishing at Eton College, where lessons were of a very different kind. His wooden moves were a reminder of the stiff royal world he has left behind. The poor Prince was caught in limbo somewhere between his full on California Earth mother and former life riddled with institutions. Let's not pretend otherwise that Baby Mamma Dance was Instagram magic. The twerking, the baby brain, the Harry cameo, you could not make it up. Full marks to Megan for constantly surprising and out maneuvering the naysayers, the vibe, the love, crazy over du drama, and the sheer audacity. The haters were horrified. And then there's Meghan Kelly, who didn't even attempt to be polite, and we say that's self aware that we goof on Meghan five out of seven episodes every week Megan Kelly said, we don't like you a No amount of posting videos that you

5:16 think are going to humanize you will make us like you. You've already shown us your true colors. We know who you are. You helped kill the Queen. You didn't give two shits about calling the Royal family racist while Prince Philip was on his death bed and casting dispersions on him. You have completely undermined all the amazing gifts that this family has given you as nothing and suggested that they didn't care you were suicidal, and they were the ones who drove you there. There are some moments that are supposed to be between a husband and wife only in the moments before you give birth to your child as one of them, when you are together in that room and your child is coming, and maybe you do have a fun moment. This is not how I spend my moments before giving birth. Maybe you do have a fun moment, but it's private, she continued, it's actually holy and for her to need to make it into an ego trip, which is clearly doing look at me down saying I'm still fun and I'm sexy, and I have this great marriage and he's Harry being like a normal guy is disrespectful to the moment, to the child and truly to the sanctity of what goes on for any humans who are actually in that situation more powers than just a moment.

6:17 After years of speculation and near missus, David Beckham is finally said to become Sir David Beckham, the former England Captain fifty, will be honored with a knighthood in next week's King's Birthday Honours list. According to the son, his wife Victoria Beckham, will accordingly be known as Lady Posh Spice Beckham. The recognition comes not only for Beckham's glithering football career one hundred and fifteen caps for England, domestic titles with Manchester United, role with securing the London twenty twelve Olympics, but also for his considerable contributions to charity. Beckham has long been involved with organizations such as UNSEF where there are more and more recently the King's Foundation, where he now serves as ambassador. His relationship with King Charles appears to have deepened in recent years. At the arichs Chelsea Show in May, Beckham, sporting the King's personal rose in his lapel, was seen exchanging a cryptic comment with the monarch. You got it, didn't you, Charles reportedly asked.

7:09 Beckham replied, it was incredible, Thank you. It was very kind. The exchange, now seen in a new light, seems to have been an early nod toward the impending honor. Beckham had previously been awarded an OBE in two thousand and three by Queen Elizabeth, with a proud Victoria and their sons Brooklyn and Romeo in attendance at Buckingham Palace. His bid for a knighthood, however, was delayed for years due to involvement along with other celebrities, and a now resolved tax avoidance scheme. His finances were cleared several years ago, removing any barrier to elevation. His tireless charitable work has continued into middle age. He's delivered poppies to Chelsea pensioners, backed covid Era fundraising campaigns, and delighted the Brantford Penguins, a football club for children with Down's syndrome. With a surprise visit in April for his fiftieth birthday, he urged fans to support UNISEF, though he famously cueued for thirteen hours to pay his respects to Queenlandlizabeth the Second and twenty twenty two, a gesture widely praised, Beckham was passed over that year. He narrowly missed the cutting in in the New Year's Honors list of twenty twenty three, when former England manager Gareth Southgate was recognized instead. But now the weight is over. The man once dubbed Golden Balls by his wife, will soon be officially known as Sir David.
