Hi, and welcome to Pallace Intrigue. I'm your host, Mark Francis. No,
3
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:25.000
Donald Trump did not eat spaghetti during the King's speech.
4
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.600
An image purporting to show President Donald Trump inelegantly eating
5
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:32.520
spaghetti during King Charles's speech of this week's State bankrupt
6
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.600
has gone viral, but it's entirely fabricated. The photo, which
7
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.320
quickly racked up millions of views online, was shared by
8
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.799
the account raw egg Nationalists, which is over two hundred
9
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:46.719
ninety thousand followers. In the image, Trump appears midbait dwelling
10
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.520
spaghetti beside the King, who is standing with a speech
11
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:52.679
in hand, but his social media users soon pointed out
12
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:57.079
the image is digitally altered. Spaghetti was not on the menu.
13
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.679
According to the BBC, The actual three course dinner featured
14
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.239
hampshe at watercress panicotta with parmesan shortbread and quail egg salad,
15
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:08.799
organic Norfolk chicken ballatine and courgette with time and save
16
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.359
regu and a vanilla ice cream bomb filled with Kentish
17
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:18.200
raspberry saubey and lightly poached Victoria Blums. Buckingham Palace has
18
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.159
issued a rare public denial following claims that Trump's security
19
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.560
detail clashed with Royal kitchen staff ahead of Wednesday's state banquet.
20
00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.480
According to a source cited by The Daily Mail, tensions
21
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:32.159
reportedly boiled over in the Royal kitchens when members of
22
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:35.000
the U. S. Secret Service entered the area to monitor
23
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.239
food preparations. The agents are said to have checked and
24
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.640
even some cases, sampled, the dishes being plaited for the
25
00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:47.079
evening's formal meal, prompting frustration among the chefs. The banquet
26
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.599
was a resounding success in the main hole, the source said,
27
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.359
but there was a disruption behind the scenes. Tensions flared
28
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.840
between the chefs preparing the meal and the U. S
29
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.920
security team responsible for protecting the President and his entourage.
30
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.120
The source alleged that what began as a quiet irritation
31
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.599
escalated into a heated exchange, with raised voices on both sides.
32
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.560
The episode reportedly lasted only a few minutes and was
33
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:14.719
entirely unknown to those attending the dinner. The Palace, however,
34
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:18.159
has firmly pushed back a spokesperson that said this story
35
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:23.560
and these claims are categorically untrue. President Trump would like
36
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.919
the King to celebrate July fourth in America. Following his
37
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.120
visit to the UK, the President is said to be
38
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.280
planning to invite Child to the United States next year
39
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:34.680
as a guest of honor. At the nation's two hundred
40
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:39.080
and fiftieth Independence Day celebrations a board Air Force one,
41
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.840
Trump said, it was a really fantastic trip. The British
42
00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:44.199
know how to do this perfectly. They set the bar
43
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:47.400
high for their trip to see us. Everybody was great,
44
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.360
even the men looked beautiful. That was one of the
45
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.280
coolest rooms. The room was built for a table, but
46
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:56.719
the table happened to carry two hundred people. Reflecting on
47
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.439
the state banquet held in his honor at Windsor Castle,
48
00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:01.759
trumpet to all reporters it was attended by the biggest
49
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.360
people in the world. When asked what he had to eat,
50
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:08.479
he replied, simply, whatever the hell they served us. The dinner,
51
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:12.080
held in the historic Saint George's Hall, left quite the impression.
52
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.280
Trump praised the occasion as beautiful, saying I view that
53
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.879
as being really respectful for our country. The way they
54
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.199
did it, that was respect for our country. Asked about
55
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.199
the highlight of his trip, Trump appointed not to the
56
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.599
gold carriages or military fanfare, but to his time with
57
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.159
the monarch. I think just being with King Charles, he's
58
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:32.400
a wonderful guy. I got to know him very well.
59
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:34.439
I knew him before, but now I know him a
60
00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:38.840
little better. He went on to admire the castle's decorps,
61
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.919
the artwork. I saw more paintings than any human being
62
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:45.400
has ever seen in statues. But they treated as great.
63
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.439
They treated our country great. As for first Lady, Trump
64
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.560
confirmed that Malaney enjoyed her time alongside the Princess of Wales.
65
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.800
The two women had earlier hosted a group of young scouts,
66
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.599
serving them sandwiches made with honey from Kate's and beehive.
67
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.080
Trump said, she did. She thought she was great. I
68
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.199
did too. I sat with her last night, Millennia went
69
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:06.400
with her today. She thought she was great, A very
70
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.039
wonderful person. She went through a lot too, but hopefully
71
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:12.400
that's all gone. He added kind words for Prince William,
72
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:15.039
calling him wonderful, and for the King himself, saying I
73
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.040
knew Charles as a prince and I know him as
74
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:18.879
a king, and he's doing very well. It was a
75
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.720
lovely trip, and I thought the press was really nice.
76
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:24.680
If King Charles does indeed travel to American next July.
77
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.959
It would be the first official visit by a reigning
78
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.480
British monarch since Queen Elizabeth the Second attended the four
79
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:34.160
hundredth anniversary of the Jamestown Settlement in two thousand and seven.
80
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:38.680
There's been fresh speculation this week about Prince William's attitude
81
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:41.920
towards royal protocol, particularly in light of an old video
82
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:45.160
that's found new life on social media. But it was
83
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.800
not just the remarks made by President Trump that drew
84
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:51.000
attention online observers and once again zeroed in on an
85
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:54.160
early moment involving the Prince of Wales, this time for
86
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.439
a banquet held during the visit of French President Emanuel
87
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:01.720
mccron and his wife Brigitte earlier in the year. In
88
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.160
the resurfaced clip, Prince William appears to sit down at
89
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.319
the dining table directly after King Charles concludes his welcome speech.
90
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.480
Unlike the rest of the room, who remains standing and applauding,
91
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:13.639
the heir to the throne promptly takes his seat, glancing
92
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:16.600
around the room as he does so. Traditionally, gentlemen are
93
00:05:16.639 --> 00:05:19.839
expected to wait until the ladies are seated, and certainly
94
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:24.319
until the monarch has finished addressing the room. Some viewers
95
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.920
took exception to the moment. One commenter on Reddit remarked,
96
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:29.199
I'd really love to know what William was thinking here
97
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.639
everyone is standing clapping after Charles is done speaking. It
98
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:36.639
appears except another question. Why is he seated when everyone
99
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:41.000
else is standing? However, others found William's conduct refreshingly assertive.
100
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.199
One user wrote on x the person saying he broke protocol,
101
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:53.600
he is the protocol more palatin, just a moment. Aunt
102
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.439
Sophie and her husband Edward went to Japan for their
103
00:05:56.439 --> 00:05:58.759
first joint royal visit and made the most of it.
104
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:02.560
Their highlight sumo wrestling. Of course, the couple were front
105
00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.920
and center at the stadium, binoculars in hand, visibly thrilled
106
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:09.079
as giant wrestlers crashed into each other with theatrical flare.
107
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.040
When told spectators sometimes threw cushions, Sophie laughed and said
108
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:16.680
I might restrain myself. One wrestler even flew out of
109
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:19.519
the ring and into the front row, prompting gasps and giggles.
110
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:21.959
It brought back memories of Charles and Diana's visit in
111
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.240
nineteen eighty six, though Diana once joked she struggled so
112
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:29.360
much with jobsticks finally packed a knife and fork. Elsewhere,
113
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.839
the Edinburgh's dodged a photo op with Hello Kitty, launched
114
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.800
a woman's empowerment initiative, and planted a symbolic oak tree
115
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:40.839
with matching golden shovels. Though their attempted at perfectly timed
116
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:46.120
dig ended in laughter, We need more practice Edward in Oslo,
117
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.879
The Royal Household is none too pleased with the new
118
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:53.920
Netflix series starring Princess Marta Luise and husband Direk Verat.
119
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:57.160
The Palace says the couple have violated their twenty twenty
120
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.560
two agreement, which barred them from using her title or
121
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:06.160
royal status for commercial gain, including in television programs. Guri Vap,
122
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.720
the Palace's communications chief, told the media this is a
123
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.399
breach of the agreement they have with the Royal Household.
124
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:14.800
She added everyone should have the right to tell their
125
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.040
own story, but the Royal Household wants a clearer separation
126
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:21.720
between the couple's activities and the monarchy. Much of the
127
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:24.759
controversy centers on wedding footage that briefly appeared in early
128
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.519
edits of the documentary. One scene reportedly showed Crown Prince
129
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:32.879
Haken chatting with Verret during the wedding celebrations, moments the
130
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:36.319
Palace had explicitly declared off limits to cameras. Media were
131
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.040
barred from those portions of the event, but somehow Netflix
132
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:43.560
had access. The footage didn't make it to air. The
133
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:46.720
Royal family interviewed and the clip was pulled before release.
134
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.959
King Harold had previously voiced concern about the commercial tones
135
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.959
surrounding the wedding. We don't want the Royal family to
136
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:57.759
be for sale, he said at the time. Reactions in
137
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:00.439
Norway have been split. Some of praise to the doumentary
138
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.439
for addressing serious topics like race, mental health on the
139
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.040
strain of life in the public eye. Others see it
140
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:09.920
as glossy pr move, commercial at its core and reliant
141
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:12.160
on royal branding in a way that violates the twenty
142
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.680
twenty two agreement. This all sounds strangely familiar to us
