Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I

2
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.679
am your host, Mark Francis. Netflix is reportedly fed up

3
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.480
with Prince Harry and Megan Markle following their recent international

4
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:24.600
tour of Colombia. According to royal biographer Angela Levin. Levin

5
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.800
suggests that these projects may be delayed until next February

6
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.480
at the earliest. She explained the documentary was six episodes

7
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:34.600
full of grumbles and gruffs that did phenomenally well, but

8
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:37.320
nothing else has. They're not really keen on her cooking

9
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:41.000
or Harry doing polo or her jam it's not original enough.

10
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:43.920
It won't be until next February at the earliest that

11
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:47.320
they can do anything. Technically. They have messed up completely

12
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:50.039
because they haven't done it properly. Netflix has fed up

13
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.359
and they've got lots of other things on their line

14
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:54.520
that they can do, so I think they're not going

15
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.359
to renew. I think Harry will try and get some

16
00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.679
money out of the King. I'm not sure, but maybe

17
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:01.960
that's reason they now want to come to the UK

18
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:05.799
and see him. During their Columbia tour, Levin reported issues

19
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.000
with the media courage. She claimed that there was no

20
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.120
sound on the cameras filming their Sussex's four day trip,

21
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.400
making it difficult to understand or verify their statements. Eleven

22
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.280
noted what was very difficult to understand or to accept

23
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.519
was that Harry was asked if he would apologize about

24
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:22.560
the slaves. But he hasn't any standing to do that.

25
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.159
If by any chance he did, we can't tell because

26
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:27.719
they didn't have any sound. They stopped it. I imagine

27
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:30.480
Megan wanted to keep control and Harry didn't want any

28
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.319
journalists to know exactly what he was saying. It was asked,

29
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.680
it was heard, but we don't know what he said. Now.

30
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:38.560
If he wants to take on that and say something

31
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:40.519
about it, it's going to be very, very difficult for

32
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.359
the king. First of all, Columbia was under Spanish rule

33
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.239
until eighteen ten, so nothing to do with the British.

34
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:50.040
And also in eighteen sixty four, Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert,

35
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:53.040
apologized on behalf of everybody for what had happened. So

36
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.680
we have actually done that, and I think it's very

37
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:59.280
dangerous if he starts bringing that up. A source told

38
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:01.879
Okay magazine that the trip was designed to elevate their

39
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.120
status in Hollywood, but instead the Montesita based duo have

40
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:09.120
been left embarrassed by the reaction. The source said. Both

41
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.360
Meghan and Harry are keen to do more of these

42
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:14.759
tools as that's what they love doing and what they

43
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:17.719
enjoyed most about royal life, but they've been left embarrassed

44
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:21.080
by this latest backlash, especially as they faced similar comments

45
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.360
when they went to Nigeria. They want to help raise

46
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.560
awareness of the issues some of these countries face, and

47
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.319
they know their profile can highlight that. They also know

48
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.199
that these trips help elevate their status in Hollywood and

49
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:33.840
in turn help their brand. They don't want to stop

50
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:35.719
doing them, but are unsure of what to do next

51
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:40.240
to win everyone over again. Zara and Mike Tindall are

52
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:43.120
reportedly being urged to take on more responsibilities to help

53
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.719
relieve Prince William and Princess Kate of some of their

54
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:49.439
royal duties, according to inside sources. This follows a recent

55
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.120
summit held by Charles and Camilla at Balmoral where the

56
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.520
future of the royal family was the key topic of discussion.

57
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:57.879
The departure of Megan, Michael and Prince Harry a senior

58
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.120
royals in twenty twenty significantly impact did the long term

59
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:05.319
plans for the monarchy. The situation was further complicated by

60
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.919
Prince Andrew's exit from public life and health issues affecting

61
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.879
senior royals this year, prompting urgent discussions on how to

62
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:16.360
secure the stability of the Royal family and inside It

63
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.879
told The Express, the strategy now is to move away

64
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.039
from focusing on what the Sussexes are doing in place

65
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.240
in emphasis on the next generation of Royals. This reflects

66
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.360
a shift and focus towards ensuring the monarchy's legacy through

67
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.520
the younger members of the royal family. While Prince William,

68
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:32.879
Princess kat and their children remain central to these plans,

69
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.120
the summit also explore the roles of other family members,

70
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:37.800
including Zara and Mike Tindall. Although the Tindalls are not

71
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:41.280
working members of the Royal family, their involvement is considered important.

72
00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.439
The Insider explained, the future of the Royal family doesn't

73
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.439
just hinge on the Wales family, but also on other

74
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.319
members of the Royal family that who a visible profile

75
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.960
in this country and around the world. It's all about

76
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.919
building a brand, and the family recognizes that this shift

77
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:59.439
suggests that Zara and Mike Tindall, along with their three children, Mia,

78
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.840
Lena and Lucas, may play a more prominent role in

79
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.360
supporting the royal family's public presence and maintaining its image

80
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.520
in the years to come. Writer Hugo Vickers appeared on

81
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.560
the Times Royal podcast The Royals, where he was asked

82
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.560
about how the monarchy maintains an image of unity. Vickers

83
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:21.160
offered a vivid metaphor for the monarchy's survival, stating tommylus Sells,

84
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.040
who was the Private Secretary during the abdication of George

85
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:26.399
the sixth and in the early years of the Queen's reign,

86
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.120
said that the monarchy is rather like a rose bush.

87
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.120
Every now and again you have to cut off a

88
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:33.480
head to keep it going. If you think about it

89
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.560
through history, that's what's happened. Prince Harry may indeed be

90
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.160
one of those heads. Royal author Christopher Anderson said to

91
00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:42.879
Fox News the last name Harry was at Balmoral Castle

92
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.319
was in September twenty twenty two, when his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth,

93
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:49.360
died there. His absence from Balmoral this summer is just

94
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.439
one more sign the royal family. Kate included prefer to

95
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:54.680
have Harry out of sight and out of mind for

96
00:04:54.720 --> 00:04:58.000
the time being. Anderson also shared his thought about Kate.

97
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:00.959
Kate was close to Harry, true had a special bond.

98
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:03.360
They shared the same goofy sense of humor and laughed

99
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.839
at the same jokes. Harry often said Kate was the

100
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:09.120
sister he never had. Of course, Kate would like nothing

101
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.079
better than to have the brother's kiss and make up.

102
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.399
It would be one less cloud hanging over the Royal

103
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:21.040
family's head palace. Intrigua be right back. The Royal Foundation's

104
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.680
twenty twenty three Annual Report sheds new light on Meghan

105
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:28.279
Markel's lasting impact, particularly through her twenty eighteen charity cookbook, Together,

106
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:32.040
Our Community Cookbook. According to the report, the cookbook, launched

107
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:35.720
to support families affected by the Grenfell Tower fire, generated

108
00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.279
one hundred and six thousand dollars in sales income last

109
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:41.560
year alone. This amount surpasses the funds raised for some

110
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:44.480
of the Royal foundations other major initiatives, such as the

111
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.279
Mental health and Emergency Responders programs. Since its launch, Together

112
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.120
has raised an impressive one point one four million dollars,

113
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:55.000
making it one of the most successful projects Meghan initiated

114
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:59.319
during her time as a working royal. Meghan Michael can

115
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.279
trace her aunt's history back to several European royal houses

116
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:06.399
through her grandmother's ancestor, Roger Shaw, revealing a fascinating connection

117
00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:10.000
to the famous Scottish king Robert the Bruce, known for

118
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.000
his decisive victory over the English at the Battle of

119
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:17.240
Bannockburne in thirteen fourteen. Robert the Bruce is a notable

120
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.360
figure in Scottish history. This remarkable lineage was uncovered by

121
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.519
author Andrew Morton in his twenty eighteen biography Meghan, a

122
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.639
Hollywood Princess. Morton detailed it is possible to trace a

123
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.000
direct line through twenty five generations of Robert, the First

124
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.680
of Scotland, perhaps the most colorful of all Scottish kings.

125
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.480
It is the lineage of Meghan's grand that can be

126
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:42.480
traced directly to the Scottish Royals and more. Morton explained

127
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.920
that Meghan's ancestor, Roger Shaw, was a son of the

128
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:48.560
wine merchant from London who emigrated to Massachusetts around sixteen

129
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:52.759
thirty seven. Shaw's lineage, originally from Yorkshire, connects to the

130
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.519
Scottish royals through his marriage to Christina Bruce, the daughter

131
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.360
of Sir David Bruce, six Baron of Clackmannan, a direct

132
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:05.120
descendant of Robert the Bruce. Morton elaborated, through Shaw's family,

133
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.839
who originated from New Yorkshire, we find the link to royalty.

134
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.480
It was the marriage in fourteen ninety of James Shaw

135
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:14.560
to Christina Bruce, the daughter of Sir David Bruce, six

136
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.519
Baron of Kleckaman, the direct descendant of Robert the Bruce,

137
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:21.959
that sealed the royal connection. Further exploring Megan's royal connections,

138
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.439
Morton noted that she is also distantly related to many

139
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:29.120
European royal families through her English ancestor, Margaret Curtiston from

140
00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:32.839
the fifteenth century. Her lineage includes Sir Philip Wentworth and

141
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:36.399
Mary Clifford, who have distant blood ties to Diana, Princess

142
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.759
of Wales and the Queen Mother. He concluded, as a

143
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.839
result of royal intermarriage, Harry and his bride are very

144
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:47.600
very distant cousins. And then you have it to email
