Meghan Slammed for “Fake Authenticity” as King Charles’ Funeral Plans Leak

0:03 Calorogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome through Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. Former friend of the Duchess of Sussex, Lizzie Coundy, has publicly urged Meghan Markle to drop the lifestyle act and start being more authentic. Condy said it doesn't matter how many pods of jam she makes, She's not Martha Stewart. She recalled that when they first met, Meghan struck her as really fun, really sweet, and even asked if Coundy knew any famous guys, adding she was single at the time and really loved english men. She's fuming how the public loved Kate. Condy said she needs to stop being bitter, stop being angry, and stop being poor me Royal expert Kinsey Chofield told Fox News Digital, I thought Meghan's anecdote about pantehose was ludicrous in a story meant to remind us of how suffer kating being a very brief member of the royal family was. This is the same woman that waxed poetically about Sarah Blakely, founder of Spanx, on her Confessions of a Female Founder podcast.

1:12 Meghan's Pity Parties sell and if I were Netflix, I would be angry that a far more personal interview was released the same day as her streaming program, where we hardly get any insight into Meghan's private life with Harry. If you're constantly having to tell us how authentic you are, you probably aren't as authentic as you think you are. Sarah Carson enjoyed the cooking show writing for ipaper. Either I have been lobotomized or Meghan has changed, because the biggest surprise and delight was that I actually enjoyed it. Oh, don't we know by now that Meghan's not relatable? Can't we accept that she's a bit unbearable? Okay, she's told Harry away to California and the royal rift may never be healed. And she continues to smile seraphically from her Montecita manch and while keeping bees and selling preserves and trying to profit off other little girl activities otherwise indulged only by parents desperate to entertain their children during a rainy summer holiday. And Okay, she spends a disproportionate amount of time reveling in other people telling her how thoughtful she is, but put that aside. And you will notice that this series has lost its preaching and its perfection and matured into a passably pleasant lifestyle show. Unafraid at last, of a little self deprecation. She is homemaking things that have never demanded to be homemade, such as graham crackers and turmeric marshmallows for s'mores, cheese at snacks using sourbro discard a word she does not like thaie iced tea with berber pearls and salt and vinegar crisps. I suppose

2:44 it's better than pouring pretzels from one plastic bag into another like last time. But the real difference is that this time around she's lightened up. Megan is no longer trying to impress upon us an idea of herself as a perfect mother, wife and friend. There was only ever going to be infuriating. Royal expert Ingrid Seward said, what she's trying to do, I feel is divorce herself from who she is for this particular show, and yet at the same time, she's using who she is, because otherwise no one would be remotely interested in watching it, and Netflix wouldn't have made it. She's trying to have it both ways and she can't. In The Times, Hillary Rose summarizes the show, it's like an advert for somewhere we'll never go and aren't invited, an ego trip and a sun hat that boils down to this mego is pretty and likes roast chicken and flour, arranging back with more in just a moment. Prince Andrew was reportedly the target of not one but two assassination attempts during his royal life, according to The Rise and Fall of the House of York by historian Andrew Lowney. Lowney alleges that the Duke of York's laid back attitude towards personal security made him vulnerable to serious threats over the years, including plots from the Argentine military and the IRAA. The first alleged attempt followed the Falklands War in nineteen eighty two, when Argentina is said to have considered sending commandos to assassinate the Prince while he holidayed in the Caribbean with Actress coup Stark.

4:14 The Argentine junta actively explored an assassination mission against Andrew after the Falklands. Intelligence sources claimed there was talk of sending a submarine packed with special forces to eliminate him. The second incident reportedly involved the IRA, with suggestions that militants had plans to target the Duke on a golf course. A leak revealing confidential plans for King Charles's future funeral reportedly caused deep upset with the Palace, with insiders claiming the monarch himself was left furious. The sensitive information, which was first reported by the Telegraph, has sparked widespread concern, not only because of the nature of the leak, but because of the timing. A source close to Radar Online described it as an incredibly delicate leak, one made all the more startling as the King continues to manage ongoing health issues. What inflamed further, said the insider, was the information about Harry and Meghan, details the Palace had no wish to see public. The Palace saw the leak as an attack, added another insider. Perhaps most revealing was the reaction to the portion of the plan involving the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. One source remarked on what the leak inadvertently revealed that King Charles hopes to include Harry and Meghan in his final arrangements. The source said, it's amazing Harry and Meghan will be central to charles funeral, but it shows just how desperate he is to ment his family before he dies and bring them all back together again. That is something he does not want out there.

5:39 As he sees it. It's private. Prince William may be heir to the throne, but when it comes to parenting, he's taking notes from a rather different source. His in laws. Kate's family has set the pace, said royal author Robert Lacey in People Magazine's latest cover story, and William has been very happy to take the lead from them, people once again knowing where their bread is and in a very flattering piece that, as it often does, traces back to how amazing Kate is Ingrid Seward tells people the Middletons are a traditional family, which is why William enjoyed being around them so much. Royal expert Kati Nickel recently revealed that the Prince of Wales often turns to Michael for advice. He's a cool head in a crisis. Royal commentator Robert Hardman noted he takes his role as father of the future king just as seriously, he takes his own role as future king. Separately, Seward told Hello, William and Kate have never wanted to live in staff. I think that's the modern way. Since William was a little boy, he's seen all the staff at the late Queen's homes and he never wanted that. It's not something Kate grew up with either. And that's just how relatable William and Kate are. They are just like us, about to move into their new eighth bedroom Forever Home, a grand Georgian mansion which boasts chandeliers or in tennis courts and eight bedrooms, and it comes with extra security. According to insiders speaking to Naughty but Nice with Rob Shooter, Forest Lodge is undergoing extensive renovations that include infrared cameras, we enforced barriers, and permanent guard posts. One source summed it up bluntly, this isn't a house, it's a fortress. A local resident

7:11 commented on the scene. The trucks haven't stopped, fences, surveillance systems. You can tell they're building for threats. We don't even see. Another quipped we thought we were getting new neighbors. What we actually got was Fort Knox in the middle of the park. A former Royal protection officer described the overhaulers on a scale we rarely see outside embassies, though the elevated precautions are reportedly in line with current threat levels for senior royals. A Palisade defended the expenditure, saying we didn't keep want their children to grow up quietly. That peace, however, comes with a very high price tag Somewhere Harry wonder's why King Charles won't pay for security for his grandchildren and they have it.
