MEGHAN'S PARIS NIGHTMARE: Diana Tunnel Video, Runway Laughs & $3K Hotel As Harry's Stalker Exposed! - The week iin royal news.
Meghan Markle's triumphant return to European high society became a "catwalk of catastrophes" this week! The Duchess sparked fury by filming herself lounging in a limo driving past the tunnel where Princess Diana died, then was caught on camera appearing to laugh when a model stumbled at the Balenciaga show. Royal commentators called it "insensitive beyond belief" and "next-level psychotic behavior." She also awkwardly snubbed Dame Kristin Scott Thomas and nearly head-butted designer Pierpaolo Piccioli before retiring to a $3,100-per-night hotel suite.
Meanwhile, terrifying security revelations show a stalker got within feet of Prince Harry TWICE during his UK visit, with only two staffers to intervene when she reappeared outside his events. Harry and Meghan then collected Humanitarian of the Year awards in New York—prompting critics to note the irony of honoring people "estranged from their families who launched deeply destructive attacks for personal and financial gain."
Plus: The royals delivered savage visual revenge with coordinated "grey suits" mocking Harry's complaints, reports claim William and Charles have "collapsed into silence" with trust "shattered," Kate published essay warning of "disconnection epidemic," and Deep Crown reveals the palace is already "acclimatizing the public" to William's reign as Charles serves as mere "transitional figure"!

00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:11.960
Hello, and welcome to Pallace Weekly. I am your host,
2
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.480
Mark Francis. This is a shorter roundup of all the
3
00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:17.760
events that happened during the week, and if you want
4
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.559
the expanded version, please check out Pallace Intrigue, which you
5
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.920
will find in this same feed. If Megan Michael was
6
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.920
hoping her triumphant return to European high society would reset
7
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:33.439
her public image, this week delivered a masterclass in how
8
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:38.280
spectacularly things can go wrong. From filming herself driving past
9
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.039
the tunnel where Princess Diana died, to laughing at a
10
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:47.359
model's runway stumble, the Duchess's Paris Fashion Week appearance became
11
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:52.679
what critics dubbed the Catwalk of catastrophes. Meanwhile, Harry's security
12
00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:56.359
concerns took center stage with revelations about a stalker getting
13
00:00:56.439 --> 00:00:59.880
dangerously close, and the royal family delivered what might have
14
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.480
been the most savage visual clapback in recent memory, a
15
00:01:04.680 --> 00:01:09.480
co ordinated display of gray suits. Monday opened with delicious
16
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:14.680
pettiness disguised as fashion coincidence. The Princess of Wales in Lincolnshire,
17
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:19.000
King Charles in Scotland, and Princess Anne in Kiev all
18
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:22.599
appeared in co ordinated gray tailoring, a choice that sent
19
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:27.719
Royal watchers into overdrive. Oh well played gray suits galore
20
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.319
today when Observer posted capturing what many saw as a
21
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.959
deliberate visual response to Harry's recent complaints about interference from
22
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:41.079
the men in gray suits. The timing was impeccable. Harry's
23
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:44.480
source had just told the Mail on Sunday, the relationship
24
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:46.640
between the Duke and his Majesty the King is a
25
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:48.840
matter for the two of them, and the two of
26
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.640
them only the men in gray suits should stay out
27
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.680
of it. Whether the monochrome moment was sartorial coincidence or
28
00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:00.640
deliberate trolling, it landed perfectly. The message understated, the headlines
29
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.040
writing themselves one line making the rounds perhaps captured Pallace
30
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.800
sentiment best Harry had mistaken a brief tea in a
31
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:13.599
slice of cake for the Treaty of Versailles. Behind the
32
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.479
fashion statement lay a more serious revelation. Harry is reportedly
33
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:22.840
attempting reconciliation alone while Meghan keeps her distance. Radar online
34
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.240
sources claimed Harry has been holding discussions without his wife,
35
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:31.199
describing the situation as an impossible balance. He can't satisfy
36
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.800
Megan while also persuading his family. She truly wants reconciliation.
37
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.639
To him, it feels like a lose lose situation. Pallace
38
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.000
Inside has confirmed Harry has agreed to coordinate his schedule
39
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:48.439
with AIDS, a deconfliction effort after his Angola trip coincided
40
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:53.039
with Queen Camilla's official birthday portrait. Sources suggest that Harry
41
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.759
has privately expressed regret for comments in Spare, but Meghan
42
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:00.639
remains convinced they were mistreated and isn't willing to compromise.
43
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.400
A senior AID was blunt. If she stays out of it,
44
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.840
it gives the impression she's quietly directing things behind the scenes.
45
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.120
The King wants assurance that both of them are committed,
46
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:15.800
not only Harry. The dynamic highlighted the fundamental problem with
47
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:19.240
any Sussex reconciliation. How can Harry make peace with his
48
00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:22.560
family when his wife, the person most damaged by the
49
00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:27.120
relationship a breakdown, refuses to participate, And how can the
50
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:31.439
palace trust reconciliation when half the couple won't even engage.
51
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.520
But if Harry's reconciliation efforts were complicated, Meghan's Paris trip
52
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:41.039
was simply disastrous. Tuesday brought the first bombshell, a video
53
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.680
Meghan posted to Instagram showing herself relaxing in a limousine,
54
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.960
feet propped up as the car drove past bridges near
55
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:52.080
the Pontilama Tunnel, where Princess Diana's fatal crash occurred in
56
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:56.000
nineteen ninety seven. The backlash was immediate and brutal. If
57
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.719
driving towards Princess Diana's death scene as a message to
58
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.639
Prince William, then Meghan male is the devil, one user wrote.
59
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:07.560
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams called it insensitive beyond belief, telling
60
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.680
the Daily Mail, Diana's death is a tragedy that has
61
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:13.000
scarred so much of Harry's life and I can't imagine
62
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:17.079
he would find this very appropriate. Megan's defenders argued to
63
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.439
he was simply driving through Paris. How else was she
64
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.279
supposed to get around the city, But critics pointed out
65
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.800
the deeper issue. Why film that particular journey and share
66
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.279
it with nine million Instagram followers? Why not recognize the
67
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:33.600
emotional weight of that location for your husband. Royal Inside
68
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:37.480
a Deep Crown was characteristically scathing. One simply doesn't motor
69
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.519
pass the Pont de Lama and post it to Instagram
70
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.240
as though one were promoting a particularly deadlight for croissant.
71
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.439
If you're married to a man whose mother died in
72
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.040
that tunnel, you might consider that a video careening through
73
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.720
those streets could stir rather painful memories. This isn't about
74
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.839
winning or losing some imaginary public relations battle. It's about
75
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:02.319
basic awareness on the tunnel video was just the opening
76
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:07.399
act in what became a multi day PR disaster. Meghan's
77
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:11.000
entrance at the Balenciaga show, striding through in head to
78
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:14.959
toe with a billowing cape, through comparisons to Zulander and
79
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:17.920
accusations of trying too hard. Then came the clip that
80
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.759
truly set social media ablaze, Meghan appearing to giggle after
81
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:25.519
a model stumbled on the runway. Mail On Sunday editor
82
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.639
at large Charlotte Griffiths told GiB News at one point
83
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.240
a model tripped, she burst out laughing, and then she
84
00:05:32.319 --> 00:05:34.399
obviously realized that was quite a cruel thing to do,
85
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.439
so she sort of covered it up. A representative quickly
86
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:40.040
denied she was laughing at the fall, but the damage
87
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.079
was done. Behind the scenes. Another awkward moment unfolded as
88
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:47.720
Meghan tried to greet Dan Kristen Scott Thomas, a dame
89
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.079
of the British Empire who recently dined with Charles and Camilla.
90
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.800
The actress appeared to turn away mid conversation, leaving Meghan
91
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.160
momentarily hanging. And then there was the near headbut with
92
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.879
designer Piir Pallo Picchio, as both leaned in for a
93
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.839
kiss and collided instead. The weekend capped off with a
94
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:09.079
lavish dinner at Sugar, where sardines and prawns cost seventy
95
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.879
five dollars each and wine bottles ranged up to one
96
00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.079
thou ninety dollars, before returning to the Hotel Plaza Athena,
97
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.439
where she stayed in the Superior Room, costing approximately thirty
98
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.160
one hundred dollars per night. The optics of such extravagance,
99
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:25.959
combined with the Diana Tunnel video and runway laughs, painted
100
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:32.160
a picture of someone dangerously out of touch. Beneath the
101
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:36.639
pr disasters lay more strategic questions Rob Shooter's hashtag Shooter
102
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:41.079
Scoop reported Meghan's appearance came with a seven figure price tag.
103
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.399
It wasn't an invite. It was a transaction. Balenciaga wanted
104
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.839
global attention and Meghan delivered. The source added that her
105
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:51.360
team treated the event like a movie premiere, complete with
106
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.519
a private jet, five star suite and glam squad, all
107
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:58.399
part of the agreement. Tom Sykes in The Royalist noted
108
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.600
something more concerning for the Palace. Both now appear willing
109
00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:04.560
to cross the Atlantic quietly, without the drama that once
110
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.680
surrounded their every move. If they really planned to spend
111
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:11.040
more time here, it changes everything. It put them back
112
00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:15.199
in the frame, and that's not what anyone expected. Megan's
113
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.079
Paris appearance, Sykes argued, carried all these signatures of the
114
00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.000
Sussex operations, celebrity and glamour, softened by a narrative of
115
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:25.399
friendship and creativity. Every image was part of the same
116
00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:28.720
message that she is relevant again on a continent where
117
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:34.279
her in laws still dominate the stage. Wednesday brought genuinely
118
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:37.240
concerning news. A stalker obsessed with Harry had managed to
119
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:40.439
get within feet of him on two separate occasions during
120
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.800
his September UK visit. The woman, already known to his
121
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:48.399
security team as a fixated individual, entered a secure area
122
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.319
at the Well Child Awards, and was intercepted again two
123
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.079
days later at the Center for Blast Injury Studies, where
124
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:58.240
no police were present. Former counter Terrorism Police chief Neil
125
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:02.000
Bazu called the lack of forma risk assessment a mistake,
126
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:05.319
noting Harry remains a high profile target. The woman had
127
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.319
reportedly been found in the Ladies toilets making odd comments
128
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:10.959
about Harry, and was later seen standing beside his car.
129
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:13.920
Two days later, she reappeared with only two staffers from
130
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:17.639
his office to intervene. The incident validated Harry's long standing
131
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:21.000
concerns about UK security, though some suspected the timing of
132
00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:25.439
detailed revelations served to change the new cycle from Meghan's
133
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:37.080
Paris disasters were pallace in just a moment. Thursday and
134
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:40.240
Friday brought Harry and Meghan to New York for Project
135
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:44.399
Healthy Minds World Mental Health Day gala, where they received
136
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:48.840
the Humanitarians of the Year Award. The recognition celebrated their
137
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.799
work promoting mental well being through the Archwell Foundation, with
138
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:57.399
Harry speaking movingly about breaking stigma around men's mental health.
139
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.399
But the irony wasn't lost on critics. Expert Richard Fitzwilliams
140
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:04.720
told Fox News, despite the work they have undoubtedly done
141
00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:08.080
to highlight mental health issues, surely they are the wrong
142
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:11.720
winners for this sort of award. Both Megan and Harry
143
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.919
are estranged from their families and have launched deeply destructive
144
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:17.720
attacks on the Royal family for their personal and financial gain.
145
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.559
Surely winners of such an award should be positive in approach.
146
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.200
He noted. The foundation listed Harry's memoir Spare among his achievements.
147
00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.480
What their foundation has done in the field of mental health. However,
148
00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:33.919
their treatment of their respective families makes them unsuitable recipients
149
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:38.639
of a humanitarian award. Tom Sykes captured the uncomfortable reality.
150
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:42.799
It is unmistakably the kind of night celebrity impact meets
151
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.679
high wattage glamour. But he also noted they appeared to
152
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.159
be competing with Kate of the mental health advocacy The Princess,
153
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:53.360
having just published an essay warning about a disconnection epidemic
154
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:59.639
and urging families to put down their phones. Kate's essay,
155
00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:02.879
title The Power of Human Connection in a Distracted World
156
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:07.000
and co written with Harvard professor Robert Waldinger, seemed almost
157
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:10.840
designed to contrast with the Sussex approach, where Harry and
158
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:14.120
Meghan accepted celebrity awards at Glitzy Gala's, Kate wrote about
159
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.679
the dangers of technology and the importance of genuine human connection.
160
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:20.720
We sit together in the same room while our minds
161
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.440
are scattered across dozens of apps, notifications, and feeds, she wrote,
162
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.679
We're physically present but mentally absent, unable to fully engage
163
00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.440
with the people right in front of us. When we
164
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:35.120
check our phones during conversations, scroll through media during family dinners,
165
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:38.080
or respond to emails while playing with our children, we're
166
00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:40.559
not just being distract we are withdrawing the basic form
167
00:10:40.600 --> 00:10:45.039
of love that human connection requires. The piece reinforced William's
168
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:48.399
recent revelation that they're very strict about not allowing their
169
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.519
children phones, a stance that feels increasingly counter cultural in
170
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.559
an age where digital presence often matters more than physical presence.
171
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:02.279
Perhaps the week's most significo development was the reported collapse
172
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:06.240
in relations between William and Charles. Shutterscoop claimed the bond
173
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:09.320
between father and son has collapsed into silence, with sources
174
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:11.480
saying the two men are no longer calling, texting, or
175
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.080
even meeting face to face. The rift allegedly deepened following
176
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.279
William's comments in his Eugene Levy interview about practices in
177
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.240
the past that Harry and I had to grow up
178
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.879
in and his vision for bringing change to the monarchy.
179
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.200
Those words, sources told Shadow Scoop, did not sit well
180
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:32.799
with Charles. The King sees it as betrayal, not honesty.
181
00:11:32.960 --> 00:11:35.840
It's not just family tension, it's about the crown itself.
182
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:39.759
An insider claimed, trust is shattered. The silence between them
183
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.440
speaks louder than any statement could. If true, this represents
184
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.799
a crisis far deeper than the Harry situation. William openly
185
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.039
criticizing his upbringing while his father battles cancer and while
186
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.440
trying to maintain a functioning monarchy, crosses lines that even
187
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:57.759
the most modern royal family struggles to navigate. Charles spent
188
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:00.320
decades waiting for the crown while being criticized by his
189
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.759
own mother's courtiers. Now his heir is publicly suggesting his
190
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:11.120
parenting was inadequate while simultaneously diminishing his authority. Royal inside
191
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:13.360
a deep Crown off at a chilling perspective on what's
192
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.600
really happening. Did it ever occur to you precisely why
193
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:21.879
we're suddenly a washing speculation about William's reign. It's rather deliberate,
194
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.200
I assure you. They're acclimatizing the public, getting everyone quite
195
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.159
comfortable with the idea of what comes next. He noticed
196
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:32.679
that since the late nineteen eighties, Britain has known only
197
00:12:32.840 --> 00:12:36.639
elderly monarchs. An entire generation has grown up knowing nothing
198
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:40.320
but silver head sovereignty. The notion of a relatively young
199
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:46.440
king vigorous contemporary requires psychological preparation. Every article, every photograph,
200
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.960
every carefully orchestrated appearance does precisely that work. His conclusion
201
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:54.320
was stark. Charles's destiny, as some of us have long understood,
202
00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.039
was always to serve as a transitional figure, a placeholder,
203
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.279
though one mustn't say it quite so. Bald and polite company.
204
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.559
He maintains continuity, Yes, but the machinery, the real machinery,
205
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:10.360
is already turning its attention to the next act. Amid
206
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.639
the major dramas, other stories highlighted the ongoing fallout from
207
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.559
various royal scandals. The Andrew Fergie situation continued to deteriorate,
208
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.799
with Beatrice and Eugenie facing the brutal reality that their
209
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:26.039
parents' choices would shadow their own royal futures. Tom Sykes
210
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.320
noted they had been quietly lobbying for a role as
211
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:32.799
future working royals, but asked whether the princess's reputations can
212
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:36.120
remain unsullied when their parents use them as part of
213
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:40.480
their schemes. The Palace announced Christmas preparations, Kate's return of
214
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.919
the Carroll concept, festive decorations at Royal residences, and the
215
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.399
first ever Christmas pop up at Buckingham Palace. The normalcy
216
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:50.840
of these announcements felt almost jarring against the week's chaos,
217
00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:55.399
and in a telling moment, Eugene Levy revealed he'd deliberately
218
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:58.919
avoided asking William about Harry and Meghan during their filmed conversation.
219
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:01.799
It was a very delicate issue and certainly not up
220
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.559
to me to get into it, he explained, a reminder
221
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:09.200
that even celebrities instinctively understand some wounds are too raw
222
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:12.919
to probe on camera. More Palace in just a moment
223
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.440
as the week closed, several uncomfortable truths had crystallized. Megan's
224
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.200
Paris trip demonstrated she remains capable of spectacular tone deafness,
225
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:27.399
unable to read rooms, or recognize how her actions land
226
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:31.320
with the public, or, more troublingly, simply not caring. Her
227
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:34.080
Defenders argue she can't win regardless of what she does.
228
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.559
But driving past Diana's death site and posting it to
229
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.720
Instagram isn't a no win situation. It's just a bad decision.
230
00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:47.519
Harry's attempts at reconciliation appear increasingly quixotic. How can he
231
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:51.320
bridge the gap when his wife won't participate, when his
232
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.279
brother won't speak to him, and when his father is
233
00:14:53.320 --> 00:14:56.639
reportedly no longer speaking to his brother either. The family
234
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:00.639
isn't just divided, as fractured into completely separate orbit, each
235
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:05.519
moving further apart. William's position grows more powerful, but also
236
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.879
more isolated. If Deep Crown is right that the machinery
237
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.879
is already focusing on the next rain, Charles becomes almost
238
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:16.799
a figurehead in his own monarchy, maintaining appearances while real
239
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.320
power flows to his son. It's a recipe for resentment,
240
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.919
not reconciliation, and Kate, through her careful positioning on mental
241
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.759
health and family connection, continues to be the monarchy's most
242
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:30.919
valuable asset, the glue in the factory. As Deep Crown
1

00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.480
