Moving on, in a report that has raised eyebrows in both Hollywood and royal circles, Prince Haran Mega Markle's alleged new Netflix deal is said to include a highly unusual provision, a so called divorce clause. According to Radar Online, the streaming giant is negotiating a one hundred and fifty three million dollar agreement with the Tuke and Duchess of Sussex, and a condition of the deal reportedly grants and Netflix exclusive rights to the first post split interview if the couple ever separated, As there's no doubt Megan's move to becoming a hotelier could possibly fail or become the latest shiny object that the Duchess podcast and Netflix cooking show host actress philanthropist Fruit spread Celler is working on this week.

1:12 Public reaction has been swift and overwhelmingly negative. According to a new poll by The Express, a striking ninety seven percent of respondents said they would not want to stay in a hotel owned by the Duchess of Sussex. The recent staff changes in Montecito are also being called a blood bath. According to reporting from People and Hello magazines, four more staffers have recently left their posts, including Deputy Press Secretary Carl Boulia and UK Press Officer Charlie Gibson, both of whom were hired just last year. The news comes amid growing speculation that the Sussexes are struggling to maintain continuity with their team despite bringing in high caliber talent from top ferms. Royal commentator Hillary Fordage described the latest turnover as another indication of the dysfunction and instability within their household. She went on to tell Fox News Digital highly qualified professionals from many top notch firms have previously struggled to thrive under the Sussexes.

Megan has offered a significant hint about the future of her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, suggesting that while the series is currently on hold, it may well return once she's got a bit more of an entrepreneurial journey under her belt. Speaking on the Aspire with Emma Greed podcast, Meghan said, I would love to bring the show back when I am at a different end of my founded journey, when I've gone through Q four and saying here are my proof points.

3:47 Here is this. Wow, what a year it's been, or even longer than that. I think a different time will be so exciting just to be able to compare and contrast. But yeah, I know people, I know people want another one. I just made a choice to say it's a really good time to put all of my energy into the thing that I'm building. An industry insider tells Palace intrigue, that the thing never took off and that the company she works with just got sold for thirty million, so the founders shiny object play paid off, but now they have no incentive to continue it. Monty Python would call it an ex podcast. The Royal Family was out in full force for the second day of Royal Ascot, with one very newsworthy exception, Kate, who withdrew from the invent at the last minute as she continues her recovery from cancer.

5:22 This particular ride, however, marked a milestone exactly two hundred years since King George the Fourth introduced the ceremonial procession in eighteen twenty five. Today it remains a cherished fixture of the British summer calendar. The monarch was in high spirits he took in the spectacle dress sharply in morning suit and top hat. Queen Camilla wore a soft green coat dress by Dior and the culor and diamond heart shaped brooch with a matching feathered hat by Philip Trecy. The royal couple were joined on the first day of Ascot by Princess Anne Peter Phillips and its partner Harriet Spurling, along with author Anthony Horowitz.

Prince Andrew's public exile remained firmly in place this week, as he was notably absent from Royal Ascot, continuing his ban from the Royal Spotlight. Though excluded from the Garta Day Parade and the carriage procession to the course, the Duke of York was reportedly allowed to attend a private lunch at Windsor Castle beforehand.
