00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.119
Calorogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome through Palace Intry again
2
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:18.160
your host Mark Francis. Prince Harry is reportedly petrified both
3
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:22.359
of losing Meghan, Duchess of sussexon of the Duchess herself,
4
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:26.359
according to royal experts. Speaking on this week's episode of
5
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:30.679
The Sun's Royal Exclusive, Royal editor Matt Wilkinson was joined
6
00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:33.759
by news dot com dot AU's a Royal reporter Bronte
7
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:38.679
Coy and Royal biographer Hugo Vickers, who offered candid assessments
8
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:43.359
of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's relationship. Vickers started
9
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.000
with Meghan's cooking show, saying, there are other people who
10
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.240
are much better at telling you these things. There are
11
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:51.320
other people who are better at doing cookery programs. I
12
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.759
mean they're sort of latching onto things well she is
13
00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.640
in particular. It's just hard to see where it's going.
14
00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.600
Turning to Prince Harry, Vickers remarked, I hate to say it,
15
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:02.159
but my feeling at the end of the day is
16
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:05.640
that Prince Harry is petrified of her and petrified of
17
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.719
losing her. He's been complicit in a lot of things
18
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.120
that have gone on, although I think he's been made
19
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.959
to do many things. Bronti. Coy agreed with the sentiment, stating,
20
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.519
of course we don't know what's going on in their relationship.
21
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.599
But with that said, even just speculating on that, you'd
22
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:24.400
say he is someone who is in such a unique position.
23
00:01:24.879 --> 00:01:27.359
There are only a small handful of royals and people
24
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:29.760
that have the profile that he has, and you have
25
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:32.840
to imagine that if that relationship did fall apart for
26
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.560
whatever reason down the line, really where does that leave him.
27
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.239
You can imagine that he would be scared of that.
28
00:01:40.159 --> 00:01:42.640
To this, Vickers replied, well, he has to come home
29
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.480
eventually if he can. The King's left the door wide
30
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.079
open for him. But then there's this issue that Prince
31
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.200
Harry seems to think the royal family should be apologizing
32
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:54.359
to him, whereas it should be the other way around.
33
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.319
The King's got a lot of other things on his mind,
34
00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.879
but he's never responded to anything. He's left open. We
35
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:04.319
don't know whether anything's going on behind the scenes. He's
36
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.760
got much more hope of reconciliation with the King than
37
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:12.039
with his brother. A former friend of Megan's, British socialite
38
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:15.639
Lizzie Cundy, who has previously claimed she was dropped by
39
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.319
Meghan shortly after the then actress began dating Prince Harry,
40
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.719
offering her withering assessment During an appearance at the Diva
41
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:26.680
Awards in London, she told Mail Online She's desperate to
42
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:29.680
be liked, desperate to be powerful, and desperate to trump
43
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:33.080
the Royals with anything she does. Sadly, for her, you
44
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.120
can't buy likability and she's lacking in that by the
45
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:41.360
bucket load. Cundy also criticized Harry, saying he looks deeply unhappy.
46
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.120
I think he is missing his family and obviously worried
47
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:48.159
about his father's health. A former fan of the Duchess
48
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.360
has admitted that one highly curated moment with in love
49
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:56.879
Meghan was enough to turn her admiration into irritation. Television
50
00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:00.919
presenter Makita Oliver, speaking on her podcast Miss Me with
51
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:05.159
the co host Lily Allen, confessed that Meghan's seemingly effortless
52
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:09.439
balloon arch tutorial tipped her over the edge. I loved
53
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.680
Meghan Markham, but I suddenly stopped liking her for a minute.
54
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:15.800
The offending scene, which aired during an episode in which
55
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.879
Meghan and actress Mindy Kayling plan a children's garden party
56
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:24.479
struck Oliver as tone deaf. It was this casual approach
57
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.439
to something quite tricky and complicated, she explained. I felt like,
58
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.919
if I don't know how to make a balloon arch
59
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.199
as well as her, I'd probably feel a bit of
60
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.840
a crap mum for that day. Lily Allen chimed in
61
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.080
with her own party strategy, less glossy but evidently effective.
62
00:03:42.479 --> 00:03:44.520
I just buy a few balloons and let them bother
63
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:48.159
around the room, she said. The kids love it. In
64
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.960
a rather surprising revelation, it has emerged that just prior
65
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.639
to meeting Meghan Markle in the summer of twenty sixteen,
66
00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.960
Harry was nearly sat up with none other than Courtney Kardashian.
67
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.479
Comedian Katherine Ryan, and speaking to Hello, recounted that she
68
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:06.039
once attempted to play matchmaker at a party in London
69
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:11.039
attended by Prince Harry's cousin, Princess Beatrice. I walked in
70
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.759
and saw Courtney Kardashian with Princess Beatrice, Ryan said, I
71
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:17.360
went straight over to her because I knew who she was.
72
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.959
I'm so invested in the Kardashians and their reality show
73
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:23.959
at the time, Courtney was in and on again off
74
00:04:24.000 --> 00:04:26.879
again relationship with Scott Disick, the father of her three
75
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:31.079
eldest children, Mason, Penelope and ragn Meanwhile, Prince Harry's previous
76
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:35.160
relationships with Chelsea Davy and Cresida Bonus had concluded by
77
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:40.600
twenty fourteen. Ryan recalled telling Courtney, you need to leave Scott,
78
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.240
to which Kardashian responded, how can I. He's in my
79
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:46.600
house right now. Ryan continued, I told her, don't go
80
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:49.800
back to the house. You need to leave him. During
81
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:53.360
their conversation, Courtney asked who she might date instead. According
82
00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:57.120
to Ryan, she did not hesitate, suggesting Prince Harry. Maybe.
83
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:00.480
Reflecting on the idea, Ryan remarked, she was right there
84
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.199
in the UK, it seemed obvious. It remains unclear whether
85
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.560
Prince Harry and Courtney Kardashian ever met or even spoke
86
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.680
a Kardashian also seems like an odd choice for someone
87
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:15.439
whose life mission seems to be taking on the paparazzi. Indeed,
88
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.759
prior to meeting Meghan, Prince Harry had spoken openly about
89
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.000
the difficulty of finding someone willing to endure the intense
90
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:25.360
scrutiny that comes with life in the Royal Spotlight. As
91
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.920
quoted by Hello, he said, I'm not so much searching
92
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.839
for someone to fulfill the role, but finding someone who
93
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.720
would be willing to take it on, which we all
94
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:40.879
know he has more palace just a moment. A sources
95
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.240
claimed that Harry and Meghan are eager to trigger a
96
00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.519
truce with William and Kat as Harry seems to rebuild
97
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.360
times with his family. Speaking to The New York Times,
98
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.519
the insider said, Meghan's desperate to come across as the
99
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:56.120
bigger person and end this feud between them. Appearing like
100
00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:59.480
some sort of royal savior could only do her image good.
101
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.839
The source added their hope is that Princess Kate's return
102
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.759
to work might take some of the heat off them
103
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.560
and possibly trigger a truce with her and William and
104
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.680
with the King too. It has further been alleged that
105
00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:14.319
when Catherine faced criticism over an edited photograph posted for
106
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.560
Mother's Day in twenty twenty four, Harry encouraged Meghan to
107
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.319
extend an olive branch. According to an insider speaking to
108
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.519
Okay magazine, Harry thinks it might be the perfect time
109
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.759
for Megan to reach out to Kate because she knows
110
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:28.360
what it's like to come under fire from the public
111
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.480
and the press. Harry wants his family to return to
112
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.519
the UK, and he knows that the only way that
113
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.800
will happen is if Meghan can repair her fractured relationship
114
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.120
with Kate. It is understood that Harry has made multiple
115
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.279
attempts to re establish contact with his family, with claims
116
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.360
that he's been phoning and messaging both the King and
117
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:48.879
the Prince of Wales on multiple occasions without receiving a response.
118
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:54.000
Royal expert Royer Nicker in The Sunday Times wrote, a
119
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:55.759
friend of Harry's once told me that while he was
120
00:06:55.800 --> 00:06:58.959
still a working royal, he harbored a Prince Andrew complex
121
00:06:59.040 --> 00:07:03.199
of slipping down the pecking order and becoming irrelevant. Harry
122
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:04.800
has always been in such a rush to make an
123
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:07.560
impact because he thinks he has a limited shelf life
124
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:10.160
before the public want to hear more from Prince George
125
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.720
and his siblings, and he worries that after that he'll
126
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:17.360
turn into this uncle. Roya added, Let's be clear, Harry
127
00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:20.439
is certainly no Andrew, though they share a stubbornness that
128
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:24.439
raises hackles in the royal fold. If Charles is changing
129
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.319
course with Andrew. He could also try giving it to
130
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:28.560
go with Harry, who has let it be known that
131
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.000
calls to par go unanswered, and he now learns about
132
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.720
his father's health from the newspapers. And there you have it.
