Lo and welcome to Palace Intry. I am your host,
3
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.199
Mark Francis. Buckingham Palace is pushing back on reports that
4
00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:18.760
Prince Harry will stay at the palace during this week's
5
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.600
visit to Britain, following a confusing public exchange between the
6
00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:26.440
Palace and the Duke of Sussex's representatives. On Monday, a
7
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:29.640
spokesperson for the Duke told Sky News that Harry had
8
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:33.159
accepted an invitation to stay at Buckingham Palace while in London.
9
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.159
The Palace, however, disputed that account, saying the accommodation would
10
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.640
not be available because a deadline had been missed. Harry's
11
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:44.359
spokesperson responded that the offer had now been withdrawn, with
12
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.840
Tuesday's expected court judgment in the Duke's legal case against
13
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.600
Associated newspapers given as the reason. The spokesperson added, it
14
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.079
is therefore unclear why, having formally accepted the accommodation offer,
15
00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:59.320
it has now been withdrawn at the last moment. He
16
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.079
argued that Kingham Palace had known about the timing of
17
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:06.079
the court ruling since last Thursday. The latest development comes
18
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.000
just days after reports emerged that Megan Prince Archie and
19
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.680
Princess Luli Butt will no longer accompany Harry at the
20
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.159
start of the trip, but could join later. The report
21
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.840
suggests the decision was made because of continuing concerns about security.
22
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.359
King Charles have reportedly offered accommodation at a royal residence,
23
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.480
although Pallace sources have repeatedly stressed that the King has
24
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:31.239
no role in decisions regarding his son's security arrangements. Harry's
25
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:35.400
spokesperson said, following Raveck's decision not to provide security for
26
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.519
his family, the Duke spent last week making alternative security arrangements.
27
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.400
Once those arrangements were in place, he was able to
28
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:45.840
formally accept. It is therefore disappointing that the offer has
29
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.439
now been withdrawn, with Tuesday's judgment in the Associated Newspaper's
30
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.560
limited case cited is the reason. According to reports, the
31
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:55.319
Pallace's decision was made in consultation with the King and
32
00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:58.879
communicated to Harry through official channels. It is understood that
33
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.599
accommodation at a royal residence may still be offered during
34
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.040
future visits on its substack. Royl inside of Deep Crown
35
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.240
suggests my own instinct having watched these corridors for rather
36
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:10.280
a long time. Is that this has less to do
37
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:13.520
with peak over associated newspapers and rather more to do
38
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.319
with the unresolved security picture. Offering a man a room
39
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.319
is one thing. Offering it without a settled risk management
40
00:02:20.360 --> 00:02:23.879
board assessment with his own protection arrangements cobbled together at
41
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.960
the eleventh hour is quite another. The household will not
42
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.759
want to be seen exposing a member of the family, however,
43
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:34.479
estranged to a security gap of its own making. For
44
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.319
the BBC, Shawn Conflin writes, Prince Harry and Meghan, well
45
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.759
they or won't they? And will we care? Whether fairly
46
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.719
or not. The focus will be on family tensions and
47
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:46.000
whether there are any signs of bridges being built between
48
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.000
the returning Sussexes and their royal relations. The latest shopping
49
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:52.520
and changing over whether they are coming won't of help
50
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:56.120
that cause of reconciliation. You can almost imagine palace officials
51
00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:58.960
rolling the rise and muttering nightmare. But Harry has always
52
00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:02.479
been intensely sensitive around the safety of his family. From
53
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.840
inside Team Sussex, the mood seems determined. Despite the uncertainty.
54
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:08.159
It's understood Prince Harry is looking forward to seeing his
55
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:10.080
friends and family and that nothing is going to sour
56
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.199
his chance to support his invictus second family this time around.
57
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.280
While they're in the UK, we're expecting the result of
58
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:20.879
Prince Harry's court case against Associated newspapers of allegations of
59
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:25.800
unlawful information gathering. The outcome could add another flavor to events,
60
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.479
although Megan will not now be in the UK when
61
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.639
the ruling is published. That will be followed by the
62
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:33.960
cliffhanger of whether Meghan appears later in the week and
63
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.400
whether the King will meet his grandchildren. From the Sussex perspective,
64
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.120
a picture would be a sign of their legitimacy as
65
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.080
part of the family, but you can also imagine palace
66
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:45.960
officials worrying about how such a photo might be used
67
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.960
that don want to see it boosting jam sales in Montecito.
68
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.800
David Yellen, former editor of The Sun and presenter on
69
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.240
BBC Radio four when it hits the Fan, says the
70
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.960
politics around that photo are so complex that it almost
71
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.520
certainly won't happen, and the photo we really want to
72
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:04.039
see is with the grandchildren, he says, But he thinks
73
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:05.919
there would be too many arguments about who was in
74
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:07.800
charge of the picture and how it was set up.
75
00:04:08.439 --> 00:04:11.639
You start to think about the negotiations between the two sides.
76
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:14.080
Who stands, Where is Megan the photo? Where's the King?
77
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.399
Is Camilla going to be in the photo? It would
78
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:18.279
be easier to get a photo of Putin and Trump
79
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.519
together after a meeting that it would be to get
80
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:22.199
a photo of these people in the same room at
81
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:26.759
the same turn. In the telegraph, Hannafiness writes, King finally
82
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:30.279
gets tough with Prince Harry. After weeks of dithering, days
83
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.600
of back and forth briefing, and the rejection of a
84
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.360
long standing invitation to stay at Buckingham Palace, he has
85
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:39.079
finally had enough. The King, whose parenting has hitherto been
86
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.160
criticized for being too indulgent, has drawn a boundary for
87
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.439
his forty one year old son in a sharp lesson
88
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.199
to be learned publicly. Prince Harry had rejected an offer
89
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:50.240
to stay at the monarchy's headquarters, and then changed his
90
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.639
mind after the deadline, and will now revert to plans
91
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.959
to stay elsewhere. First Prince Harry was coming to Britain,
92
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.199
Then he was bringing his family. Then he might even
93
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.959
take his children to see their grandfather the King. Next
94
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:03.279
Harry and his team worried allowed that Buckingham Palace was
95
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:06.920
not safe enough, its entrances and exits, potentially allowing people
96
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:08.680
to see the family through their car windows and put
97
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.800
them in danger. Despite requests for clarity, Etis said, Harry
98
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:14.720
missed the deadline set for the end of last week
99
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.839
to accept the King's offer of Buckingham Palace. His team
100
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:21.759
formally rejected it on Saturday, it is understood, and then
101
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.959
the Duke changed his mind after his team announced that
102
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:26.879
he would indeed be staying at the palace. The extent
103
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.639
of what could politely be called a muddle was exposed.
104
00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:32.360
The rooms are no longer available for Harry when he
105
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.920
arrives on Monday with too little notice. There are logistical
106
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.600
issues at play. The palace, which has seven hundred and
107
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.040
seventy five rooms and will be used to host visiting
108
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.560
heads of state once it is reopened next year, is
109
00:05:43.560 --> 00:05:46.600
still a partial building site, and considerable numbers of household
110
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:48.920
staff would have been needed if the Duke of Sussex
111
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:51.959
and his family had come to stay. Complicating matters further
112
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.639
is the judgment in his case against the associated newspapers.
113
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:56.920
The publishers of The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday,
114
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.319
which expected to be handed out on Tuesday. If he
115
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:01.959
wins any part of his fourteen claims, Prince Harry hopes
116
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:05.240
to deliver a victory speech in public. Whatever the verdict.
117
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:08.199
The King, who is the Majesty in his Majesty's Courts
118
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.079
and Tribunals service, cannot be seen to be too close
119
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.439
to such conversations. The King and his team know they
120
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.560
will be criticized for not rolling out the red carpet
121
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:19.199
for Prince Harry. For fans of the Sussexes, it plays
122
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.600
into the narrative that they are the victims of unwelcoming establishment.
123
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:25.560
A spokesman said it was disappointing that the offer has
124
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:29.120
now been withdrawn at the last moment. This has surpassed
125
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.480
the Sussex's own record for drama and the trip has
126
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:39.920
not even yet begun. More palacy just a moment. Normally,
127
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.079
a Prince William Taylor Swift's story would be pretty big news,
128
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.279
but overshadowed by Harry was Prince William's appearance on the
129
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.279
New Heights podcast, where he joined Jason and Travis Kelsey
130
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.360
for a wide ranging conversation about the football family and
131
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:56.199
even King Charles' sporting preferences. Jason Kelsey Welcome to the
132
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:59.600
Prince of Wales with an elaborate introduction listing many of
133
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.199
his world titles, before inviting his Royal Highness Prince William
134
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:05.399
onto the show. Laughing, William replied that was quite an intro.
135
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:07.879
Guy is amazing, Jason answered, we had to do it
136
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:09.959
beg for you. We had to do it beg. When
137
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.639
the conversation turned to William's lifelong support of Aston Villa,
138
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.040
Travis asked whether his father had inspired his love of
139
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.800
the club. Williams's answer was immediate, absolutely not, he said,
140
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:21.959
my father hates football. Instead. William explained that his passion
141
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:23.800
for the sport came from friends who introduced him to
142
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.240
the game as a teenager. My family haven't got a
143
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:29.279
particularly long history with football. My football love came from
144
00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:32.639
friends taking me to watch my first match. William said
145
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:35.560
he was optimistic about the England's World Cup chances. I'm
146
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:38.800
quietly confident, he said, adding that if England reaches the final,
147
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.959
if we're in the finals, we'll definitely be there. The
148
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:44.240
conversation also took a lighter turn when William was asked
149
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:47.680
which moment he considered more memorable, one of Travis Kelsey's
150
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.160
NFL touchdowns or Kelsey's appearance as a surprise backup dancer
151
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:54.879
during one of Taylor Smiff's concerts. William chose the Taylor
152
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:58.079
Swift performance, prompting Travis to reflect on meeting the royal family,
153
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.360
calling it one of the coolest moments ever. William said
154
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.040
that Princess Charlotte made quite an impression during that meeting,
155
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:07.639
adding Princess Charlotte was the highlight for me. Reports also
156
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:10.879
suggested that William and Catherine privately met Taylor and Travis
157
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.519
before the couple's wedding, although no details of that meeting
158
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.879
have been made public. William was among millions celebrating after
159
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:21.120
England's dramatic World Cup victory of Mexico, posting a personal
160
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.920
message just minutes after the final whistle. The Prince of
161
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:27.439
Wales shared his reaction on social media shortly after England's
162
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:32.200
three to win at Mexico City's as Tecker Stadium. Well
163
00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:35.519
done England, he wrote. He added bring on the quarter final,
164
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:39.240
alongside an England flag emoji, signing the message simply with
165
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:44.120
a w indicating he had posted him personally, and there
166
00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:45.720
