At Radio Center's tuning in conference on Tuesday, the station's content director, Paul Sylvester said the offer is on the table. The Duchess wants to host a show, She's very welcome. He later repeated the offer online, writing I did say exactly this. In response to someone quoting his remarks On the Netflix show, Meghan's guest Tan France teased her about her taste in music, calling Magic such a grand mass station. Meghan laughed in reply, I'll be that grandma. She went on to explain to fondness for retro playlists. My favorite station in my car is called mom Jeans. These are throwback great singer lungs and you forget the existed. I love it. Meghan, whose husband Harry famously does not enjoy the paparazzi, has shared a new glimpse into her life in California, posing with her dogs in the Montecito backyard that inspired the logo for her lifestyle brand as Ever.

Behind them stood two palm trees that meet at their base, a feature Meghan has sat hold steep meaning for her family. In a twenty twenty two interview, she recalled Prince Harry's first impression of the trees when they toured the property. See how they're connected at the bottom, he goes, My love It's us. The intertwined palms became the senate piece of the as Ever crest, flaked by two hummingbirds. Harry and Meghan have to be honored at this year's World Mental Health Day festival, hosted by the nonprofit organization Project Healthy Minds. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who co founded the Archwell Foundation, will be recognized as Humanitarians of the Year at at gala on October ninth.

2:46 The foundation's Lost Screen memorial, created to highlight the impact of online harms, will also be on display. In a joint statement, Harry and Meghan said working with families and young people to prioritize safety online has been some of the most meaningful work of our lives as parents ourselves, we have been moved to action by the power of their stories and are honored to support them. We're proud to be longtime partners of Project Healthy Minds as we work together to shine a light on what remains one of the most pressing issues of our time. On the tenth Harry and Meghan will attend Project Healthy Mind's fourth annual World Mental Health Day festival. As all this takes place in New York City, we hope there isn't one of those high speed midtown weeknight car chases like the last time. Prince Harry recalled his first visit to Disneyland as a child, when he joined his brother Prince William and their late mother Diana. Appearing in the new ABC series The Happiest Story on Earth Seventy Years of Disneyland, Harry said, I remember it very very well. I remember losing it as a kid, with all the characters like losing it. He explained that his own children had shared in that same sense of wonder when they visited the Florida Park for the first time earlier this year. They're like, this is amazing, he said, Like, guys, this isn't even the front of it. Prepare us. So if you're about to be blown away to see the kids throw themselves into these experiences when they have no idea what they're walking into, it was amazing and it brings out the kid in you again. Meghan described the family holiday in June as two days of puret joy. One wonders if they would enjoy it as much if they had to

4:17 stand in line for two hours to get on it ride. Meghan's cooking show has struggled in both rankings and reviews. That's My returning to the platform on August twenty six, it failed to break into Netflix's global top ten most watched shows, and no third season has yet been confirmed. A Christmas special is, however, expected later this year. PR expert Edward Coran James described the Sussex's first Netflix deal, reportedly worth one hundred million dollars, as an expensive failure. While their Harry and Meghan documentary was a global hit, subsequent projects, including a polo series and Meghan's Cooking Show, have failed to make a significant impact. Megan is once again facing criticism from insiders who say she's well a pattern of launching big, attention grabbing initiatives only to quietly let them fizzle. A Hollywood insider speaking to Radar Online suggested that the Duchess of Sussexes shifted priorities dramatically in recent years. Her energy is on Netflix production meetings and lifestyle branding. Charity work is no longer her focus. She talks about helping others, but the reality is she's building her personal empire. The source went on to draw a sharp contrast between Megan and Princess Diana, noting Diana would walk into a hospital ward or onto a minefield, and the compassion was real. Meghan is more concerned with securing celebrity profiles. In Los Angeles. The Duchesses now dormant forty by forty initiative was also cited as an example. Launched with fanfare on her fortieth birthday, the project called on mentors to donate forty minutes of their time to help

5:48 women re enter the workforce after the pandemic. I palas Figure told Radar Online the idea behind forty by forty was to help women re enter the workplace, but the only career that got a boost was Megan's. She used the project to promote her image as a humanitarian, then quietly let it die. That makes it look cynical. It was supposed to show she could create meaningful initiatives outside the royal family. Instead it proved the opposite. Without the Palace machinery behind her, she struggles to deliver. We got another review, this one for one star on Twitter. Not my cup of tea boring, lacking in substance, Signed Megan Markel, well, thanks for listening back in just a moment. Crown Prince Harken of Norway has spoken publicly about his sister, Princess Martin Luise and her relationship with her husband, Shaman Direct Verrett.

6:40 The Crown Prince told local media, I think I should refrain from judging it, but unfortunately I do not think that there is a good enough distinction between the activities of the Royal House and the Netflix project and the commercial side of Princess Martin Luise and Direct Verret's activities. His words echoed a statement issued by the Palace last week which said all people should have the right to tell their story. This time also applies to Princess Martin Luise and Direct Verrat. At the same time, the Royal House wants a clearer distinction between the activities of Princess Martin Luise and Direct Verrat at the Royal House. This will be the topic of the conversations we will have in the future. And by the way, we've been covering this story in our new sister series, Crown and Controversy Norway's Royal Rebels and episode three is out today wherever you get your podcasts. If you think our British family is a handful. You should check out the Norwegians and turning to important news from important people talking about important things.

7:39 Van der Pump Rules alum Stussy Schroeder has declared she's finished supporting Megan Markel after being left out of the Duchesses later as ever PR gift box a drop, Schroeder said, I have literally defended her when no one else did. I have filmed videos about it. I've commented on all the things. I've literally had my efing PR reach out. Schroder suggested Megan dismissed her because of her reality television background, the way she moves through social media. I think that she's stuck in twenty seventeen and she just thinks I'm a lowly reality person. She claimed, That's what I think, and I am furious, and this is the last straw. I'm not watching her show anymore. Her frustration was heightened by the fact that markl did send boxes to the host of The Toast podcast. Schroder noted, when you were sending PR boxes to people who talk shit about you, and they also say, I wonder what Starsy's thinking about this?
