0:00 Ah Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. Today ends in a way their book. Megan Mirkale was once again at the center of an online debate, this time over a video showing her dancing during Adam Levine's performance at the David Foster Foundation gala in Canada. A video filmed by another guest showed Meghan standing beside her table, dancing and singing along while Levin performed. Several people seated nearby, including Harry, remained in their seats. That was enough to set off another round of criticism online. One commenter wrote, why does she hire someone to film her every move? She's so weird she just can't live. Another said she has to be seen at all times those goals at the front, dancing and having fun or unknowingly infuriating her. No one can be in the spotlight. Some viewers also focused on Harry's reaction. One person wrote, looks like Harry tells her to sit down, while another simply said he told her to sit down. Another clip from the evening also attracted attention.
1:09 On the red carpet, Meghan appeared to gesture toward David Faster and Katherine McPhee as the group arranged themselves for photographs. One social media user joked the way Michael's directing David Foster and Katherine McPhee, you'd think they were the guests at Harry and Meghan's event, But sources speaking to The Daily News say the viral clip is being taken out of context. One source said Faster absolutely wanted Harry and Meghan at the event, and pointed to his long standing friendship with the couple and admiration for Harry's mother, Princess Diana. He's always been a big fan of Diana, and he'd never snub either of them. The source said. It was a genuine moment where he didn't see them and nobody really thought much of it. It's nothing. The couple are also facing criticism over the way they present their life in California, with longtime Sussex critic Kevin O'Sullivan mocking the couple as middle aged people with no to do. The latest attack followed Meghan's forty fifth birthday celebrations, which she shared on social media. The footage included Megan dancing in her kitchen wearing a small birthday tiera, as well as another moment showing her jumping into a swimming pool. Speaking with royal commentator Kinsey Chofield, or Sullivan said it's a pathetic spectacle to see a middle aged couple. He's forty one, she's forty five, basically just dancing around looking at the sky.
2:27 Radar Online also cited unnamed sources who said some of the couple's harshest critics see the birthday posts as evidence that Harry and Meghan are still trying too hard to sell an image of carefree California life. One source said there is a view among the harshest detractors that Megan and ARY's behavior can look pathetic for a couple in their forties. They are no longer young newly weds finding their feet. They are middle aged parents, and critics believe some of the dancing, posing and carefully presented lifestyle content looks increasingly ridiculous. O'Sullivan then widened his criticism to Megan's career in public profile. He described her as some Hollywood wannabe who married a prince, and argue that Harry's royal status remains the main reason for the couple's continued public fascination.
3:10 O'Sullivan said she still thinks she's the main attraction in the relationship, but of course she's not. She's just some Hollywood wannabe who married a prince. The prince is the main attraction. The prince is the story. So without Harry brand Meghan is nothing. I think deep down she probably knows that, but she's sure as shit doesn't like it. The Duchess was recently photographed at an event without her engagement ring, prompting the familiar round of online theories about the state of the Sussex marriage. A source tells heat Well, there's no way Megan would have known that stepping out without her wedding ring would create a storm of speculation. There's this never ending obsession with predicting doom and gloom for their marriage, and this is exactly the sort of detailed people would notice. Harry and Meghan are reportedly divided over a question that could become increasingly important as their children get older. Should Archie and Lulabert ever go to school in Britain? A source tells Close Up. This isn't simply about choosing a school. Harry reportedly sees education in Britain as one possible way for Archie and Lulibet to maintain a meaningful connection with his family and their British heritage.
4:19 The source claims Harry would favor a mixed school and has even explored the possibility of the children attending as day pupils rather than being sent away to boarding school closes. Unnamed source claims Megan is far less enthusiastic about the idea, and that the schooling discussion reflects a broader disagreement over how much of the family's future should remain connected to Britain. The source put it this way, education is just the symptom. According to The Insider, the larger question is deciding where home actually is. Prince Harry's immigration records are back in court, but anyone hoping to see the Duke of Sussex's visa application may be disappointed. According to court documents reported by News this week, the US State Department is reviewing hundreds of records connected to Harry following a Freedom of Information Act request. The department has identified three hundred and seven documents, totaling nearly twenty five hundred pages. Its first response, made on July thirtieth, identified eighteen records considered responsive to the request, and withheld all eighteen in their entirety. The latest legal fight comes from the conservative Heritage Foundation, which has spent years seeking information about Harry's immigration status following his public admissions of past drug use in his memoir Spare. Heritage previously sued the Department of Homeland Security seeking Harry's immigration records, arguing there was a public interest in determining whether Harry disclosed his past drug use when entering the United States.
5:46 That effort failed when Judge Carl Nichols ruled Harry's privacy interests outweighed the public interest in releasing the records. The current lawsuit takes a different route. Heritage is seeking State Department material concerning Harry, rather than simply requesting his visa paperwork. More palising just a moment. Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson says he's met Prince Harry several times and came away liking him, even if he's still not entirely sure what to make of Harry's famously relaxed public persona. Wilson told Hello Magazine, I've met him a few times. I always really like him. I don't know whether he's pretending to be down to earth or he is down to earth.
6:27 Wilson then turned the joke on himself, saying, I'm pretending to be a rock star. God knows in this household, I'm not. One of their previous encounters apparently came after Harry attended a Kaiser Chief's concept. Wilson said he asked Harry for a selfie, but the Prince had one condition. According to Wilson, Harry told him don't put that anywhere. Wilson joked, I'm not going to risk my mbe by putting up a picture. The singer has also spent time at Buckingham Palace and says that whatever someone's political views about the monarchy might be, actually meeting members of the royal family can have an unusual effect. Wilson and said, we were very respectful. I remember going in and being in awe. I love the Royal family. I think they're great. I know it's probably an unpopular view to have, especially someone with my political leanings, but I defy anyone, even the biggest anti royalists, not to be put in a room with a royal and be dead polite it's like a default setting. You start bowing and curtsying, and you don't even know why. I like it. Prince Harry knows a thing or two about family feuds. Now. The Duke of Sussex became the subject of a question on the long running game show. This particular question asked contestants to name the five things women love most about Prince Harry.
7:37 The five answers on the board were Harry's face or smile, his money, his red hair, his royalty or power, and his British accent. Contestants managed to identify or five, and there you have it.
