1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.320
Calarogu Shark Media at Lowell. Welcome through Palace Intry gam

2
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.199
your host Mark Francis. The Wonderful Princess of Wales assumes

3
00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:20.079
her role as Colonel of the Irish Guards by attending

4
00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:24.719
their annual Saint Patrick's Day parade in London today, marking

5
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:27.440
her return to the tradition she was forced to miss

6
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:30.519
last year due to illness. Keep will oversee the event

7
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.280
at Wellington Barracks, where she will present the customary sprigs

8
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:39.000
of shamrocks to officers and guardsmen, award medals for long

9
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:41.719
service and good conduct, and take the salute during the

10
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.240
march past. She will also meet Irish Guards veterans and

11
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:49.320
junior cadets known as minims, before joining families in the

12
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.640
Sergeant's mess, where a toast will be raised in her honor.

13
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:57.119
This engagement is particularly poignant as the regiment cheered in

14
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:00.640
her absence last year while she recovered from abdominal surgery.

15
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.600
In twenty twenty three, she prints William attended the parade

16
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.439
together at Mond's Barracks in order Shot, shortly after she

17
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:12.280
assumed the role of colonel from her husband. Prince William

18
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.439
is reportedly eager for Prince Andrew to fade from public

19
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.319
view as fresh allegations surrounding the Duke of York's past

20
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:24.120
have resurfaced. The latest claims come from former Massus Monique Giannaloney,

21
00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:27.319
who has detailed an encounter with Andrew at Buckingham Palace

22
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.760
in two thousand. In an upcoming memoir, she alleges that

23
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:35.519
after being booked by Juleane Maxwell, the Prince acted inappropriately

24
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:39.760
by stripping naked before a massage, and incident she described

25
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.200
as an abuse of privilege. William has mastered the art

26
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:45.599
of feeding the media the way his brother and sister

27
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:48.719
in law can't figure it out even when hanging around

28
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.879
with Britain's elite. The future King is coming across as

29
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.920
a regular guy and the media is eating it up.

30
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:57.799
Wills has offered a glimpse into his long standing friendship

31
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.840
with David Beckham, highlighting their close by in a lighthearted interview.

32
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:04.640
During a game style interview with The Son, William was

33
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.400
put on the spot when asked to choose between Zinnidin

34
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:11.840
Zadane and David Beckham in a penalty shootout. William hesitated

35
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.400
before settling on his answer, I'm choking. This is going

36
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.120
to hurt Beck's I think just I think Bax might

37
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.639
kill me if I don't say him. Beckham also revealed

38
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.199
that he never hesitates when William reaches out for support.

39
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.080
Whenever he's asked me to get involved, it's always a yes,

40
00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.360
he shared, adding that his mother, Sandra, was moved to

41
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.319
tears upon hearing of his appointment as an ambassador for

42
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.879
the King's Foundation. She knows my grandparents would have been

43
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:38.159
proud that I have played such an important role in

44
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:42.120
the Royal family and the charities that they have. Mike

45
00:02:42.159 --> 00:02:45.439
Tyndall enjoyed himself at last week's Cheltenham Festival, offering some

46
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:49.039
cheeky tips on how to pace oneself during the prestigious

47
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:53.120
racing event. Speaking to raced ATV, the former England rugby star,

48
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:55.719
who happens to be Princess Anne's son in law, joke

49
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:58.680
that liver management is a key part of getting through

50
00:02:58.719 --> 00:03:01.599
the week. Yggs is bumping into an old friend to

51
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.879
push you over the limits. Equipped but he had a

52
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:07.360
secret weapon, Guinness zero. A little Guinness zero in the

53
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.680
middle when no one knows it goes a long way. Tindall,

54
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:12.919
whos never wanted to take himself too seriously, also joked

55
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.680
about his presence at the festival, saying this is what

56
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.719
we call work. You choose the lanes that you work

57
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:22.479
in the possible form of Royal sex bomb. Princess Anne

58
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:24.800
also made an appearance braving the chilli weather in a

59
00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:28.479
striking red coat, black furry hat and knee high boots.

60
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:31.759
Royal Watches were quick to praise her timeless style, with

61
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:35.639
one social media user commenting red really suits her. She

62
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:39.919
looks fabulous as always, perfect for the freezing weather. Palaces

63
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:48.479
Intrigue with Radback. Megan's new podcast series, Confessions of a

64
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:53.520
Female Founder, will premiere on April eighth. This eight episode

65
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.719
series will feature candid conversations with notable female entrepreneurs, offering

66
00:03:57.759 --> 00:03:59.960
an inside look at the challenges and triumphs of building

67
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.560
a business, including Meghan's own experiences with her brand. As Ever,

68
00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.879
Meghan said, I'm so proud of what we're creating, the

69
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.039
candid conversations that I'm able to have with other female

70
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.719
founders as we unpack the twists and turns of building

71
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.519
a business through my friendships and relationships. Were able to

72
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.160
dive into the type of insights that everyone wants to

73
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.600
know is they're building a business and that I'm able

74
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:23.759
to tap into as I'm building my own business with

75
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:28.720
as ever, Jessica Cordova Kramer, Lemonade's CEO and co founder,

76
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.600
who presumably signed off on this idea, said, Megan is

77
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:34.000
such a warm and welcoming person, and you feel that

78
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.879
in her interviews she creates a comfortable space for her

79
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.680
guests to bring fascinating personal stories to the table and

80
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.839
open up in a way that they likely haven't before. Publicly.

81
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.879
Royal Watches were quick to point out similarities between the

82
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:50.199
concept and a pre existing Spotify podcast, Confessions of a CEO,

83
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:52.720
which debuted in twenty twenty three, with a focus on

84
00:04:52.759 --> 00:04:56.560
the highs and lows of female entrepreneurship. The resemblance has

85
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.000
led to a fresh round of criticism on social media,

86
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.439
with some accusing Meg of a lack of originality. When

87
00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:05.959
social media user wrote does she have any original thoughts

88
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.439
or does she just copy others? This is not the

89
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.480
first time Meghan's business ventures have drawn scrutiny. Will also

90
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:13.519
point out at the timing as interesting, as King Charles

91
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.639
has been scheduled to visit the Vatican that week, meaning

92
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:18.560
we could be in for a week of Meghan Versus

93
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.160
the Royals articles. It is unclear that visit will actually

94
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:25.399
happen due to the recent serious health issues of the Pope.

95
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:27.920
We'll also take a second here to promote our sister

96
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.680
series White Smoke, which takes a look at the challenges

97
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.560
faced by the Vatican when a Pope is ill. You

98
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.920
can get that podcast wherever you get your podcasts. White

99
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:41.680
Smoke The Path to a New Pope. Meghan's foray into

100
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.399
dia self care has sparked concern among skincare experts, who

101
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.439
warned that her homemade bath salt mixture, featured in her

102
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.959
new Netflix series With Love Meghan, could cause irritation, rashes,

103
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:58.959
or even burns. The Duchess's attempt at domesticity included preparing

104
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:01.800
a welcome basket for her longtime friend and makeup artist

105
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.120
Daniel Martin. Among the items with a jar of bath salts,

106
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:07.879
which he hastily mixed together on camera using ebbsm salt

107
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.920
him a lay in salt, amica oil and lavender oil

108
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.720
without measuring the ingredients. When a crewmember asked for specifics,

109
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:19.319
she breezily responded quite a bit. However, skincare specialists quickly

110
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:23.920
flagged her approach as problematic. Jennifer Christopherson, an esthetician and YouTuber,

111
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.920
issued a warning in a video breakdown of the segment, stating,

112
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.240
I don't even know if she really knows what she's doing.

113
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:34.079
She criticized Michael for using undiluted arnica oil, describing her

114
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.759
application as a crap ton and explaining that essential oils

115
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.639
require proper dilution with a carrier oil to prevent skin irritation.

116
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:46.439
Other experts echoed similar concerns. Dermatologist doctor Alexandra Bowls told

117
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:51.120
Daily Mail that while Markle's mixture isn't inherently dangerous, the

118
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:55.319
combination of salts and undispersed essential oils could cause irritation,

119
00:06:55.439 --> 00:07:00.519
particularly for individuals with allergies or sensitive skin. DX also

120
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.600
pointed out that neither Markel nor Netflix included a disclaimer

121
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:07.240
advising pregnant women, those with high blood pressure, or individuals

122
00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:10.519
with sensitive skin to consult a doctor before using the

123
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.560
bath salts. Began has come under further scrutiny after a

124
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.480
past television appearance seemingly contradicts claims she made about her upbringing.

125
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.319
In the second episode of With Love Megan, Meghan tells

126
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.079
actress Mindy Kayling that she was a latchkey kid who

127
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.279
grew up on TV dinners in fast food. However, a

128
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.560
resurfaced twenty sixteen clip from her appearance on Chopped Junior

129
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.519
tells a different story. During the cooking competition where she

130
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:38.040
served as a guest judge, Meghan praised a contestants dish, saying,

131
00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:40.199
this dish reminded me of the kind of food that

132
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.079
I grew up eating in California, like that, real farm

133
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:47.199
to table, sort of fresh, really simple ingredients. The statement

134
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.519
stands in contrast to her Netflix narrative of childhood meals

135
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:55.959
consisting largely of microwaved dinners. A TV insider tells The

136
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.399
Sun Netflix has been broadly pleased with the show and

137
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.480
don't care if the reviews are scathing. The streamer's name

138
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.439
has been on everyone's lips for the past week and

139
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:05.680
that's a victory for them. But it's now a question

140
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:08.920
of whether they feel that striking another deal represents value

141
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.519
for money, or if they feel they have explored all

142
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.120
the opportunities that they can with the couple and they
