00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:15.000
Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Weekly. I
2
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.839
am your host of Mark Francis. Well, it seems that
3
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.839
many of you didn't really like our version of Palace
4
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:24.039
Weekly with our two hosts from Google AI, and so
5
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:26.760
what I'm going to do now is give you a
6
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.120
new version of Palace Weekly, and we'll try and do
7
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:31.320
this every week where I'm just going to give you
8
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.280
the stories of the past week, the biggest stories in
9
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.719
an abbreviated form. So if you've been listening every day
10
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.000
for the past week, none of these stories will be
11
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:40.600
new to you. But some of you don't get the
12
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:42.479
time to listen every day, So this will be an
13
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:46.600
abridged version of all seven episodes from the past week,
14
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.679
and the stories will be a little shorter just so
15
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.759
we can get many more stories in and we hope
16
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:56.039
you will enjoy this version. Let's get started, and we
17
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:59.280
start with Megan, because that's the biggest news of the week.
18
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.920
Megan's podcast series, Confessions of a Female Founder, will premiere
19
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:06.239
on April eighth. This eight episode series will feature candid
20
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:09.879
conversations with notable female entrepreneurs, offering an insight look at
21
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:13.120
the challenges and triumphs of building a business, including Meghan's
22
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:18.120
own experiences with her brand as Ever. Meghan Sussex said,
23
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:20.519
I'm so proud of what we're creating and the candid
24
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.040
conversations that I'm able to have with other female founders
25
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.799
as we unpack the twists and turns of building a business.
26
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:28.799
Through my friendships and relationships, were able to dive into
27
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:30.799
the type of insights that everyone wants to know as
28
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.200
they're building a business, and that I'm able to tap
29
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:36.760
into as I'm building my own business with as Ever.
30
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.480
We'll also point out the timing as interesting, as King
31
00:01:39.599 --> 00:01:42.200
Charles has been scheduled to visit the Vatican that week,
32
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.319
meaning we could be in for a week of Meghan
33
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.280
versus the Royals articles. It's unclear if that visible actually
34
00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.599
happened due to the recent serious health issues of the Pope.
35
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:55.120
Meghan's foray into DIY self care has sparked concern among
36
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.760
skincare experts, who warned that her homemade bath salt mixture
37
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.799
featured in her new Netflix series With Love Megan, could
38
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:06.359
cause irritation, rashes, or even burns. However, skincare specialists quickly
39
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:11.439
flagged her approach as problematic. Jennifer Christopherson, an esthetician and YouTube,
40
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.039
issued a warning in a video breakdown of the segment, stating,
41
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.400
I don't even know if she really knows what she's doing.
42
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.159
She criticized Mikael for using underluted arneca oil, describing her
43
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:23.800
application as a crap tone and explaining that essential oils
44
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.039
require proper dilution with a carrier oil to prevent skin irritation.
45
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:32.960
Netflix's With Love Meghan continues to draw criticism from all quarters,
46
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:37.199
including surprisingly the Touches's own estranged father Thomas Markle, who
47
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.599
hasn't spoken to his daughter since before her twenty eighteen
48
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:43.400
wedding to Prince Harry. Told the Male everything she says
49
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:45.840
is pre planned and rehearsed makes me laugh because I
50
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.039
know all her looks and expressions. I know which is
51
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.240
faking it for the cameras. The eighty year old admitted
52
00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:53.439
he hasn't watched the entire series, but has seen clips.
53
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:56.240
His comments add to a chorus of negative reviews, with
54
00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:59.919
The Guardian suggesting Netflix should kiss the Netflix deal goodbye,
55
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:04.719
and The Telegraph calling the show an exercising narcissism. Megan's
56
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:08.599
half brother Thomas Mirkle Junior offered an equally unflattering assessment,
57
00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:12.080
saying halfway through, I realized there's something better I could
58
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:16.319
be doing with my time. Prince Harry has emerged victorious
59
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.439
in his immigration status battle after the Department of Homeland
60
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:23.319
Security rejected claims that the Duke received special treatment when
61
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.360
moving to the United States. In heavily redacted documents released Tuesday,
62
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:31.479
a DHS lawyer stated that Harry's application followed all applicable
63
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.479
rules and regulations, despite speculation that he may have lied
64
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:40.039
about his drug use on visa paperwork. In the World
65
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:43.639
of the Wonderful Princess, Colonel Kate was back on parade
66
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.639
on Saint Patrick's Day, raising a half pint of guinness
67
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:49.560
to celebrate the day with the Irish Guards. The Princess
68
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.800
of Wales, looking absolutely gorgeous and green, Alexander McQueen made
69
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:56.280
her triumphant return to the annual celebration after missing last
70
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.000
year due to her treatment. Ever generous, she even put
71
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:01.479
money behind the bar the troops, telling them it's the
72
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:04.159
least I can do. Now, that's royal class. The forty
73
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.919
three year old beamed as she inspected the regiment pinned
74
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.800
traditional shamrocks beneath her gold Cartier brooch, and even presented
75
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.919
one to Turlough Moore, the Irish wolfhound mascot, who serves
76
00:04:14.960 --> 00:04:19.959
as the regiment's most adorable soldier. Eagle eyed royal fans
77
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.360
may have noticed that Princess Catherine has been switching up
78
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.920
her jewelry lately, often leaving her iconic sapphire engagement ring
79
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:29.319
at home. The stunning twelve carrot oval salon blue sapphire,
80
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.279
once worn by the late Princess Diana, has been replaced
81
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:34.920
during recent engagements with what appears to be a more
82
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:40.519
subtle eternity band featuring sapphires and diamonds. Experts suggest the
83
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:44.600
change might be purely practical. Maxwell Stone of Stephenstone Jewelers
84
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.600
noted unlike Kate's twelve carrot engagement ring, which she typically
85
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.519
removes during physical activities, sports, or any situation where there's
86
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.720
an increased risk of damage or loss, this ring is
87
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.199
more practical for daily wear. Some have romantically suggested the
88
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.639
new piece might be a university Day's promise ring from
89
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:08.439
William making a sentimental reappearance. William has mastered the art
90
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.199
of feeding the media the way his brother and sister
91
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:12.879
in law can't figure out even when hanging around with
92
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:15.519
Britain's elite, the future King is coming across as a
93
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.800
regular guy and the media is eating it up. Wills
94
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:20.839
Is offered a glimpse into his long standing friendship with
95
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:24.639
David Beckham, highlighting their close bond in a lighthearted interview.
96
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:27.519
During a game style interview with the Son, William was
97
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.240
put on the spot when asked to choose between Zenidein
98
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.759
Zendine and David Beckham in a penalty shootout. William hesitated
99
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.920
before settling on his aunts and joking, this is going
100
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.879
to hurt Becks. I think Becks might kill me if
101
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.800
I don't see him. Could Prince William be adding another
102
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:47.800
important title to his resume. Royal watches are speculating that
103
00:05:47.800 --> 00:05:50.680
the Prince of Wales might soon become godfather after his
104
00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.040
close friend Hugh Grovener, the Duke of Westminster, announced he
105
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.720
and his wife Olivia Hanson, are expecting their first child
106
00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.399
this summer. The friendship between William and Hugh runs, with
107
00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:02.759
the Prince serving as an usher at Hugh's wedding in
108
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.639
Cheshire last year. The Duke has already godfather to eleven
109
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.720
year old Prince George, continuing a close inter family connection
110
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:13.879
that spans generations. King Charles is Hugh's godfather as well.
111
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.759
In the World of Charles, family drama at Balmoral has
112
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:20.639
come to light in a new royal book detailing the
113
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:24.720
tensions surrounding the Queen's final moments. According to Robert Hartman's
114
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.040
Charles the Third New King New Court, the story behind
115
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.040
Prince Harry's solo journey to Scotland was even more fraught
116
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.879
than previously known, it seems. King Charles, then Prince of Wales,
117
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.439
personally called both his sons to urge them to travel
118
00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.839
to Scotland quickly, but made it clear that Megant was
119
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.600
not welcome. When Harry pushed back, Charles apparently claimed that
120
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:48.639
no other spouses were coming, mentioning specifically that Kate wasn't coming.
121
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:51.959
What Charles likely didn't know is that Kate had actually
122
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.920
chosen to stay behind to support her children on their
123
00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:59.240
first day at Lambrook School. The senocent detail inadvertently diffused
124
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.360
what could have been even more explosive family row, as
125
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:05.000
Harry wrote in Spare that the news about Kate's absence
126
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:09.399
immediately calmed him down. King Charles is being urged to
127
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.839
make a rare diplomatic move that could place Donald Trump
128
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.920
in an awkward position as the sovereign of Canada. Charles
129
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.560
has been asked to attend the country's state opening of Parliament,
130
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.399
which would showcase the Monarch's support for Canada as Trump
131
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:25.079
threatens trade wards against America's northern neighbour Former Conservative MP
132
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:27.800
Andrew Persing, now based in Vancouver, told The Daily Mail
133
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:30.279
it would put Trump in a really difficult position. He
134
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.519
is going to accept a state visit with the King
135
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.040
while at the same time threatening and showing disdain and
136
00:07:35.079 --> 00:07:40.480
disrespect for Canada, where Charles is the monarch. From royal
137
00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:43.360
visits to royal soap. King Charles is selling a luxury
138
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.040
bar of soap for Mother's Day at the Eyebrow, raising
139
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:50.199
price of twenty eight pounds, part of Highgrove Gardens Mothering
140
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:54.079
Sunday gift range. The High Grove Bauquet soap claims to
141
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.879
capture the essence of High Grove Gardens with fragrances including
142
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:02.920
silver line, Blossom, Mimosa and Cedar Palace. Weekly will be
143
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:10.560
right Back. Prince William is reportedly eager for Prince Andrew
144
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:14.480
to fade from public view as fresh allegations surrounding the
145
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.560
Duke of York's past have resurfaced. The latest claims come
146
00:08:17.560 --> 00:08:21.240
from former Messus Monique Gia Naloni, who has detailed an
147
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:24.360
encounter with Andrew at Buckingham Palace in two thousand. In
148
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.839
an upcoming memoir, she alleges that after being booked by
149
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:32.039
Gillam Maxwell, the Prince acted inappropriately by stripping naked before
150
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.679
a massage, an incident she described as an abuse of privilege.
151
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.840
Mike Tyndall enjoyed himself at last week's Cheltenland Festival, offering
152
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:41.879
some cheeky tips on how to pace oneself during the
153
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.679
prestigious racing event. Speaking to raced ATV, the former England
154
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.440
rugby star, who happens to be Princess Anne's son in law,
155
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.840
jokes that liver management is a key part of getting
156
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.440
through the week. All it takes is bumping into an
157
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.720
old friend to push you over the limits. He equipped,
158
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.159
but he had a secret weapon in this zero well
159
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:02.519
Guinness zero in the Middleman. No one knows it goes
160
00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:06.600
a long way down under the Royal family has received
161
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:09.279
a significant cultural snub the Reserve Bank of Australia has
162
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.159
confirmed that King Charles will not featured on the new
163
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:13.720
five dollar bank note, ending a tradition that saw Queen
164
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:17.440
Elizabeth the Second's portrait grace the note since nineteen ninety two. Instead,
165
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.840
the redesign will honor Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people's
166
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:24.480
connection to the country and the overturning of Terra nullius.
167
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:28.000
Queen Mary of Denmark has returned to royal duties after
168
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.039
being forced to cancel engagements due to illness. The Australian
169
