Am Your Host, Mark Francis. Netflix seemingly did not include

3
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.480
With Love Megan in a promotional collection celebrating its Emmy

4
00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:25.239
nominated programs. According to Radar Online, Netflix launched a special

5
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.480
Netflix Emmy collection highlighting many of its Primetime Emmy nominees

6
00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:33.240
and past winners. While series including Stranger Things, The Diplomat,

7
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.439
Love on the Spectrum, Lovers, Blind, and Queer Eye were featured,

8
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.320
Radar Online noted that With Love Megan was absent. The

9
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.479
emission comes despite the series receiving a Daytime Emmy nomination

10
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.960
for Outstanding Lifestyle Program. Radar Online argues that Netflix has

11
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.920
also not publicly congratulated Megan on the nomination. The article

12
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.759
also points out that Netflix featured comedian Zach gallifanakas this

13
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.719
is not a gardening show, which received a Primetime Emmy

14
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.399
nomene in a different category. Radar Online goes on to

15
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:07.640
speculate that With Love Megan may have been submitted independently

16
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.319
for the Daytime Emmys rather than by Netflix, noting that

17
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:14.680
eligible producers can enter programs themselves by paying they required

18
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:18.519
submission fee. The publication stresses that paying the fee does

19
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:22.920
not guarantee a nomination. In The Independent, Kate Rosinski reminds

20
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.680
us that in the lifestyle category, Megan faces stiff competition.

21
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:31.400
There's a Different Breed, a documentary about competitive sports for dogs,

22
00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.519
George to the Rescue, a home renovation show that appears

23
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.439
to star the American equivalent of Handy Andy from Changing Rooms,

24
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.319
The Motherhood, a Hallmark reality show where Whiteloats star Connie

25
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:45.760
Britton helps busy mums balance their lives. And the brilliantly

26
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.799
titled The Wizard of Pores, about an animal prosthetics expert.

27
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:54.519
Rasinski adds, acting like Meghan's show doesn't serve to be

28
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.760
named in the hallowed company of these presumably solidly made

29
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.200
but ultimately run of the meal reality program is as

30
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:03.760
the Kenine stars of a different breed would probably put

31
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:07.040
it barking mad, and shows how anything can be stretched

32
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.479
into an anti mark or controversy. In fact, these kinds

33
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:12.759
of shows are probably the peers that With Love should

34
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.159
have been measured against in the first place, rather than

35
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:18.800
reviewers myself included, Expecting that a bit of glossy fluff

36
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:22.080
might serve as some sort of compelling docu drama. As

37
00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:24.360
if the organizers of the Daytime Emmys are hoping that

38
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.240
Meghan and Harry, or H's she so relentlessly nicknames him

39
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.599
on the screen, turn up to sprinkle their ceremony with

40
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.719
a bit of star dust. Who are we to judge?

41
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.520
It will certainly earn them more press coverage and more

42
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:40.360
intrigue than they might otherwise expect. Writing in the Daily Mail,

43
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.800
commentator more In, Callahan argue that Harry is ready to

44
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.759
move beyond years of family conflictencies of reconciliation with King

45
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.520
Charles's best path forward, Callahan said publicly, they've been making

46
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.800
appearances without each other. She pointed to Harry's recent solo

47
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.000
trip to Britain, where Meghan and the children joined him

48
00:02:57.039 --> 00:02:59.560
only at the end of the visit and were not photographed.

49
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.520
You also noted that Harry attended the Time one hundred

50
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.520
Sports Gala in New York alone, while Meghan celebrated her

51
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:09.879
Daytime Emmy nomination for With Love Meghan on social media

52
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.840
without mentioning her husband. According to Callahan, Harry's hopes of

53
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.560
repairing his relationship with the King depended in part on

54
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.639
Meghan maintaining a lower public profile. She also claimed, Meghan

55
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:25.199
now recognizes that Harry has become increasingly important to her future, saying,

56
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:27.960
right now, it seems no one is more valuable than Harry,

57
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:32.199
and nothing is more valuable than what he wants. Royal

58
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.280
author Christopher Anderson toll page six he believes the reunion

59
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:37.960
atmosphere may not have been as warm as sum had hoped.

60
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.080
One gets the sense that, from Meghan's perspective, the reunion

61
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:45.400
with Charles and Camilla wasn't entirely warm and fuzzy, Anderson said. However,

62
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:48.639
page six also quotes a palace source who questioned how

63
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.599
Anderson could know what happened during what the source described

64
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:55.800
as a private family only meeting. Anderson believes Megan remains

65
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:58.639
reluctant to spend the extended time in Britain. It's fairly

66
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.759
clear that Michael feels more secure. Montecito doesn't want to

67
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:03.639
give the impression that she will be any part of

68
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.960
a return to royal life, he said. A report from

69
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.520
Women's Day claims Archie and Lulibet were awe struck by

70
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.719
everything they witnessed during their visit with their grandfather. An

71
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.639
unnamed source told the magazine It has really opened the

72
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:17.720
door for Harry to tell them more about their heritage

73
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:19.519
and what it means to be a part of the monarchy.

74
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.079
The source added that Harry is thrilled to begin teaching

75
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.759
his children about their royal background. He's not bombarding them

76
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:28.959
with too much information, but he does want them to

77
00:04:29.000 --> 00:04:31.120
appreciate their lineage and what it means to be in

78
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.600
the line of succession. That is something they can be

79
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:37.399
proud of. It really can't be overstated how integral Archie

80
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:39.519
and Lily are when it comes to forging a path

81
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.600
forward with the King and the rest of the royal family.

82
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.560
Piers Morgan tells women at home, my old friends, the

83
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.480
Duke and Duchess of sussexky preaching to us about privacy

84
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:51.800
and about the need to be careful online and how

85
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.160
dangerous it is for kids. And then what did they do,

86
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.079
he says, are ads They upload photographs of their five

87
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.600
year old child on social media birthday to billions of people,

88
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:05.199
immediately recognizable, and I'm like, what are you doing? What

89
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.040
is this about? Why would you preach about privacy, why

90
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.160
would you lecture the world to be very careful with

91
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.920
children online? And then put your own child out there

92
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.120
to millions of people. That makes no sense to me.

93
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.480
I don't know, but to me this is a classic

94
00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:19.600
example of the kind of double standard that I think

95
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.720
is ridiculous. If you're going to start preaching about stuff,

96
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.079
at least try and live up to it. Don't immediately

97
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:28.319
do something which is the completely opposite of what you've

98
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:36.600
been preaching about. Well balancings to the moment, Jasmine Carey

99
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:39.879
writes in the Express with forgiveness in his heart, the

100
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.600
monarch welcomed his youngest son and Megan back into his home,

101
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.240
his private, cherished i Grove home. He acted the way

102
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:51.160
an admirable dad and monarch should. He decided to forgive

103
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:53.879
for the greater good of rebuilding a relationship he did

104
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:56.560
not want to lose with his son Meghan, and of

105
00:05:56.600 --> 00:06:00.279
course with his grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lillabet. He

106
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.920
forgave despite the stress Meghan and Harry would have put

107
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.560
on him. In the monarchy, that takes a lot. Now,

108
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.199
my question is why can't Meghan take a page out

109
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:10.560
of the King's book. She has been forgiven for slating

110
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.000
the royals, for making harmful accusations, and for being very

111
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.839
vocal about her dislike for the monarchy, and the King

112
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.240
has shown her that he is willing to forgive, So

113
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.839
now she knows what forgiveness looks like. Surely she can

114
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:26.240
do this herself with her own father, Thomas Mirkel. We

115
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.279
know Thomas Michael wants to see his daughter and his grandchildren,

116
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.600
and surely Megan wants her children to be surrounded by

117
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.720
as many loving family members as possible. If this is

118
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.120
the case, she should forgive her father for his actions.

119
00:06:37.120 --> 00:06:43.240
In twenty eighteen, staging paparazzi photographs, an insider tells heat Well,

120
00:06:43.600 --> 00:06:46.040
Charles just isn't prepared to accept that he'll never have

121
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:48.120
the chance to see his sons on good terms again.

122
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.319
He thinks it's absolutely ludicrous that this grudge has dragged

123
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.199
on for so long, and is vowed to do what

124
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:55.839
it takes to sort things out, even if it means

125
00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.040
putting serious pressure on the both of them, because he

126
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.680
absolutely believes they are equally to blame. This trip wasn't

127
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:03.759
the right time to force any meeting, but he's made

128
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:06.040
it clear that he will be tackling that in due time.

129
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.800
He wants them to start letting some of the bad

130
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.360
blood go if not for his sake, then at least

131
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.480
for the sake of their children. To Charles, that's the

132
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.399
biggest tragedy in all of this. They're missing out and

133
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:18.839
growing up together as cousins, and he desperately wants to

134
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.680
change that before it's too late. The King was so

135
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:23.959
charmed by Archie and Lilibet. He wants to be able

136
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:26.240
to spend more time with him going forward, and he's

137
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.120
got his heart set on George and Charlotte and Louis

138
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.360
having that opportunity as well. He would love for Harry

139
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:33.240
and Meghan to bring them over for Christmas and for

140
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.800
them all to celebrate together as a happy family, but

141
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.639
considering the state of things as they are now, that

142
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:42.120
is highly unlikely. Still, he's holding out hope that something

143
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.439
could change. Charles is certainly seeing a big change in Harry.

144
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:47.680
He was incredibly pleased when Harry made mention of my

145
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:50.800
brother William during his visit to Birmingham. It might sound

146
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:52.959
like nothing more than a throwaway comment to most people,

147
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:55.360
but Charles took it as a genuine sign that Harry's

148
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.079
mindset when it comes to his brother has softened considerably.

149
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.399
Charles believes Harry was trying to extend an olive branch

150
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:03.399
in his own way, and it's given him a lot

151
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.600
of hope that there will eventually be a thawing. He

152
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:08.879
understands that there still a lot of resentment on both sides,

153
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.240
but clearly Harry is ready to make the effort. So

154
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:12.680
his mission now is to find a way to get

155
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:14.439
William to let go of some of his anger and

156
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.240
push this forward. It's not just Harry and William who

157
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:18.839
need to find a way to get past all this.

158
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:23.000
There's also Kate and Megan to consider. Charles is confident

159
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:26.040
that will be much easier, not least because Kate has

160
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.519
already expressed her interest in putting all the bad blood

161
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.039
behind her. She's very much about forgiveness these days, and

162
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.840
Charles is counting on her natural grace and diplomacy to

163
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:37.799
help move things along. It will only happen with William's blessing.
