DIANA DOCUMENTARY PLANS: Harry/Meghan developing Diana film for Netflix—Meghan wants to DIRECT. William "absolutely sickened that Harry, by extension Meghan, will be profiting off Diana.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.160
Callaroga Shark Media Now, Hello and welcome to Palace Weekly.
2
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:14.480
I am your host, Mark Francis. This is a roundup
3
00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.480
of all the stories in the past week on Palace
4
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:19.640
Intrigue and if you like the full versions of those,
5
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:23.160
please go back and listen to the daily episodes. So
6
00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:28.839
here's what happened. Megan Markle has been labeled the most
7
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:33.880
disappointing celebrity of twenty twenty five by her former hometown newspaper,
8
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:37.640
The Toronto Star. The opinion piece argues that despite having
9
00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.880
all the ingredients to become a global success, she has
10
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.000
failed to live up to expectations over the past year
11
00:00:44.439 --> 00:00:49.240
and has instead slowly deflated. Megan spent seven years living
12
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:52.840
in Toronto while filming suits. It was also during her
13
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.039
time in the city that she began her relationship with
14
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:58.960
Prince Harry. Despite that history, the Toronto Star article offers
15
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.119
a sharply critical reassessment. A source close to the Sussex's
16
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.640
claimed that criticism has a profound impact. This is the
17
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:09.560
most painful review Meghan has had because it comes from
18
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:13.319
a city that once gave her refuge and normality. It's
19
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:18.640
shaken her confidence, the insider told Radar online columnist Patricia
20
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:22.359
Treble wrote that Meghan has not fully capitalized on opportunities
21
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:25.719
available to her since stepping back from royal duties. While
22
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.599
stopping short of calling the Duchess of Sussex and outright failure,
23
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.439
Treble wrote that Meghan's career had slowly deflated over the
24
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:37.000
past year. She suggested Meghan could be famous by being
25
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.959
open and real. It worked for the Kardashians, who got
26
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.719
rich by working non stop to sell themselves to a
27
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:47.519
world eager to see their latest reinventions. Treble also questioned
28
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.280
what she described as central contradiction in Meghan's public positioning,
29
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:54.599
writing Meghan wants everyone to know and acknowledge that she's
30
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.719
royal without the obligations of working on behalf of the monarch,
31
00:01:58.040 --> 00:02:02.079
including all those endless and gay to infer worthy causes.
32
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:06.840
Internet sleuths the claiming they have uncovered the true scale
33
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:09.960
of Mega marks as Ever Business after what they described
34
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:13.719
as a website glitch appeared to expose vast quantities of
35
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:17.479
stock sitting behind the Duchess of Sussex's carefully curated small
36
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:21.000
batch image. Users on Reddit say they were able to
37
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:24.000
exploit a bug on the as Ever website by attempting
38
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.560
to add unusually large quantities of products to their shopping baskets.
39
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:32.599
Instead of rejecting the request outright, the site allegedly revealed
40
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:37.120
the maximum number of items available for purchase, effectively exposing
41
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:41.759
total stock levels. If accurate, the figures suggest inventory on
42
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.800
a scale far beyond the brand's cozy kitchen pantry marketing.
43
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:48.639
Alleged screenshots circulating online show more than two hundred and
44
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.639
twenty thousand jars of fruit spreads, around thirty thousand jars
45
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:56.800
of honey, thirty thousand mulling kits, nearly ninety thousand candles,
46
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.479
more than one hundred and ten thousand tea products, and
47
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:05.159
roughly eighty thousand jars of edible flower sprinkles. At list price,
48
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.439
selling through that volume of stock would generate more than
49
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:11.680
twenty one million dollars in revenue. A Twitter user posted
50
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.120
at this time meglae is sitting on roughly twenty three
51
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.759
million dollars worth of product in stock, including one hundred
52
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.520
and thirty seven thousand of a signature of fruit spread box.
53
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:22.520
The numbers last night revealed that within about twelve hours
54
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.319
she moved twenty of these. If you double that count
55
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.439
to forty and divide by the stock and then the
56
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.919
number of days in a year. It appears that it
57
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.639
will take her upwards of nine years to move all
58
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.439
the stock. If the product moves at current rates, that's
59
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:40.400
catastrophically bad. Shortly after the claims began circulating widely, the
60
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.759
as Ever website was updated, purchase limits were imposed, and
61
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.439
users attempting to add excessive quantities and now met with
62
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:50.800
error messages. However, a source defended the figures to The
63
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:53.840
Daily Express. While it's normal for a business not to
64
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.240
talk about sales data, I think it's fair to say
65
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.879
that the glitch that led to this data being revealed
66
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.280
points to a business that isn't just successful, it's flying
67
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:08.080
literally off the shelf. According to Starr, tensions between William
68
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:10.759
and Harry have reportedly flared once again, this time over
69
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.800
how the legacy of their late mother, Princess Diana, should
70
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:16.319
be handled, and insider tells the magazine that the Duke
71
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.720
of Sussex is determined to honor his mother and share
72
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:21.800
her story with the next generation, and does not believe
73
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.800
his older brother needs to be involved. The source adds
74
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:29.120
that Harry intends to use his existing Netflix relationship when
75
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:31.360
the time comes a move that is said to further
76
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.879
anger the Prince of Wales. What is said to trouble
77
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.279
Prince William most, however, is Megan Michael's alleged involvement. According
78
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:41.519
to gossip columnist Rob Shooter, sources claim Harry and Meghan
79
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.199
are developing a feature film centered on Diana, and that
80
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:48.040
Megan wants to direct the project and inside to tell Starr,
81
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.639
William doesn't want to anywhere near his mother's story, but
82
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.920
of course that doesn't matter one bit to Harry. He
83
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.720
is absolutely second that Harry and by extension, Meghan will
84
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.399
be profiting off Diana. To him, it's nothing more than
85
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:02.439
a shaless money grab, and he's vowing to do whatever
86
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:06.240
it takes to stop them. The death of Princess Diana
87
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.879
remains one of the most enduring and emotive chapters in
88
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.160
modern royal history, and as the thirtieth anniversary of her
89
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:14.920
passing approaches, the subject is once again said to be
90
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:19.040
front of mind for Prince Harry and Megan Michael. According
91
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.720
to reports cited by a New Idea, a source close
92
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.839
to the Sussex's claims Megan Michael is keen to gain
93
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.879
access to the so called Diana Dossier, a six thousand
94
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.240
page investigative file compiled in two thousand and seven that
95
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.920
remains sealed in the basement of the Palade Justice in
96
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.439
Paris and is not due to be made public until
97
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.879
twenty eighty two. Meghan is desperate to get her hands
98
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.199
on those files, the source said. She's convinced it could
99
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.560
give them the ultimate hook they need for their documentary.
100
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:49.439
She also believes Harry has every right to know what happened,
101
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:52.399
so she's urging him to demand a review of the documents.
102
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:55.399
She knows he wants closure on this, and those documents
103
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.959
could be what they need to save their Netflix dealer
104
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:07.319
in just a moment. The International Business Times quoted sources
105
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.879
close to Prince Harry as saying the Duke of Sussex's
106
00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:15.079
privately struggling, describing him as homesick, deeply unhappy, and increasingly
107
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.240
convinced that his life in California has been a mistake.
108
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.759
One source said Harry now feels homesick, handpacked and hollowed out,
109
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.800
adding that he no longer recognizes himself and fills a
110
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:28.560
drift without this structure and purpose he once had as
111
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.279
a working royal According to multiple accounts, Harry has become
112
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:34.759
fixated on returning to Europe and is said to be
113
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:37.439
openly questioning whether he has any future in the United
114
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:41.040
States at all. One inside claimed Harry has reached a
115
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:44.240
breaking point with life in California and has been blunt
116
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.000
with Megan that he no longer sees a future for
117
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:52.160
himself there. He feels profoundly unhappy and directionless, frustrated that
118
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:57.319
the professional opportunities he hoped would materialize never truly did.
119
00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.839
Friends say the disappointment cuts deeply. Another source said he
120
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.040
has struggled to form close friendships, pheels isolated and has
121
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:08.920
been shaken by what they describe as Hollywood's calling interest
122
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:12.279
in him and his wife. The rejection stings. The source said.
123
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.800
He misses the life he had. One source said this
124
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:18.000
is a man who loved his sports, having a laugh
125
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.040
and a pint with his powals at the pub. He
126
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:23.480
misses the sense of purpose being a working royal gave him.
127
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:26.600
There are also suggestions that Harry's recent legal fight over
128
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:29.839
UK security has been driven by more than principle. One
129
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.639
insider claimed the case became an escape route. Megan told
130
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.360
him to let it be, but deep down she knows
131
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.120
he has done this in part to try to get
132
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.800
back home. He is just absolutely done with his life
133
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.600
in the States. Prince Harry's recent breakthrough in this long
134
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:48.800
running battle for UK security may have solved one problem,
135
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:51.639
but Royal author Christopher Anderson told US Weekly that the
136
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.160
development leaves Meghan in what he described as a rather
137
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.959
awkward situation. According to a report in The Mail on Sunday,
138
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.720
Prince Harry is effectively he one his fight for government
139
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:05.800
funded armed protection while in the UK. The decision came
140
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.279
after Rayveck completed a fresh review of Harry's security risk
141
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:14.560
and determined that he is eligible for protection. A Palace
142
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:18.079
insider told a New Idea Charles is getting extremely impatient
143
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:21.160
with Harry and told him to start asserting his needs more.
144
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.399
The hope is for a visit at the end of
145
00:08:23.439 --> 00:08:26.600
February or early March, but at the urging of Prince William,
146
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.240
Charles is taking every precaution to avoid more family bust ups.
147
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.159
The same source claims that while the King wants to
148
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:36.480
see his grandchildren, any visit would come with strict conditions,
149
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:40.919
including firm control over publicity. He will need reassurances that
150
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:44.360
there will be no surprise solo outings or media access
151
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:48.000
or paparazzi friendly shopping trips. Everything has to go through
152
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:50.960
his team. All social media has to be pre approved
153
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:54.600
and coordinated. There are to be no clashes, no distractions,
154
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.440
and no more online shade or private family meetings will
155
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.080
need phones to be locked in farioy bags and left
156
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.960
with security. The report also suggests that non disclosure agreements
157
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.720
would be part of the arrangement, along with a rotating
158
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:10.679
team of support staff for the Sussexes. There is even
159
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:15.120
said to be discussion of bringing a trained mediator under
160
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:20.679
the banner of healing. According to The Examiner, Princess Anne
161
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.879
is firmly aligned with Prince William and Queen Camilla in
162
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.919
opposing any return by the Sussexes. An insider told the
163
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:29.440
outlet Anne doesn't tend to interfere or get involved with
164
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.519
family politics all that often, so when she does speak
165
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.200
up and offer her opinion, it counts for a lot.
166
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.759
Anne says it's madness that childs would countenance any type
167
00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:42.519
of reconciliation or forgiveness, let alone allow this upstart anywhere
168
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:47.080
near them. According to Radar Online, the Kardashians are telling
169
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.559
Harry and Meghan to keep their distance. One insiders said,
170
00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.320
Chris and Kim and their entire circle are stunned. Asking
171
00:09:54.320 --> 00:09:57.080
for permission to share photos is done as a courtesy,
172
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:00.279
but Chris certainly isn't expecting anyone to say no, and
173
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:02.919
certainly not Megan and Harry. These are two people who
174
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:06.279
have asked for and received her help, advice and connections.
175
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:09.000
Here she was inviting them past the velvet rope of
176
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.639
OZ and this is how they repay her, acting as
177
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:14.120
though they are too good to be seen partying with her.
178
00:10:14.519 --> 00:10:16.360
It's a massive slap in the face and one that
179
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:20.200
she cannot let slide. Writing on his substack, Rob Shooter
180
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.240
reports at several top tier agencies have rejected the Sussex's outright.
181
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.120
One agency representative is quoted as saying they are difficult
182
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:32.360
and frankly cheap. Kardashians and Beyonce spend of fortune on PR,
183
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.519
Harry and Meghan expect the same results for a fraction
184
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:40.000
of the budget. One former publicist said, a competent PR
185
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.600
can survive bad headlines. They can't survive clients who won't
186
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.120
listen or demand you push false narratives. That's the Sussex problem.
187
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:50.679
Another source described the couple as being liable to hit
188
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:55.440
Defcon one at any moment, creating the prospect of constant
189
00:10:55.519 --> 00:11:01.240
crisis management. A strike King profile of the Princess of
190
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.960
Wales and the Times magazine emblazoned with the headline Arise
191
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.080
Queen Kate has reportedly caused fresh irritation behind palace doors,
192
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.879
particularly for King Charles and Queen Camilla. Writing in The Times,
193
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:16.519
Royal correspondent Kate Mansey reports that pallace aides believe Catherine
194
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:19.720
is more bold and determined than she is often perceived
195
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.799
to be, particularly when it comes to using her role
196
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:26.480
to create long term social impact. Sources speaking to the
197
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:29.000
Royalists say that Queen kate headline was viewed within the
198
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.919
King's circle as being in poor taste. While there is
199
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:34.200
no suggestion that Prince William or Catherine were involved in
200
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:37.399
approving the cover, the perception among senior figures is that
201
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.440
the Waleses are increasingly being positioned as monarchs in waiting
202
00:11:41.720 --> 00:11:46.759
rather than patient heirs. A source tells Closer Online Kate's
203
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.240
pin center stage over Christmas, and Camilla has been feeling sidelined.
204
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.120
She's still reeling from the banquet feeling. Kate's tiara was
205
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:57.600
no accident and highly symbolic. Kate was effectively telling the
206
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:00.559
world that it won't belong before She's queen. She's adored
207
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:03.000
within the family and by the British public, so it
208
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.360
makes sense that she's taking a bigger hand in shaping
209
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.919
what the monarchy looks like moving forward. In his substack,
210
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:13.600
Deep Crown writes, the uncomfortable truth for those at Buckingham
211
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:16.279
Palace is that Catherine has achieved something the current king
212
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:23.039
has spent decades pursuing. Genuine public affection combined with institutional credibility.
213
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:27.759
She's popular and effective, She's modern and traditional, She's accessible
214
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:31.159
and regal. It's a combination my late sovereign managed through
215
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.759
seven decades of service, but one that has eluded nearly
216
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:38.639
everyone else. Catherine the Princess of Wales has become one
217
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:42.240
of the highest profile victims of a disturbing misuse of
218
00:12:42.320 --> 00:12:46.279
artificial intelligence after an AI chatbot on the social media
219
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:51.679
platform X was found to be generating sexualized images of her. Groch,
220
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:56.000
which is x's artificial intelligence assistant, was shown to be
221
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:58.440
producing altered images of Kate that depict her in a
222
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.799
bikini and other minimal clothes using The images were created
223
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:06.519
by redrawing publicly available photographs of the princess without her consent.
224
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.600
The issue has prompted intervention from OFCOM, The UK communications
225
00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.399
regulator of Com confirmed it has made urgent contact with
226

228
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:26.919
his ex wife, Sarah Ferguson, to reach out to senior
229
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.960
members of the royal family as controversy continues to surround
230
00:13:29.960 --> 00:13:33.600
his past association with Jeffrey Epstein. According to sources quoted
231
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:38.039
by OK magazine, Andrew encouraged Ferguson to send what Inside
232
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:42.440
has described as begging letters to figures including King Charles
233
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.919
and Queen Camilla. The messages were reportedly sent around Christmas
234
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:49.799
and expressed regret over events linked to the House of York.
235
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:53.120
Sarah has seemingly been drawn back into the Jeffrey Epstein

237
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.399

mansion a six word warning. The files claim the unnamed
