0:03 Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Weekly, our new show that hits the highlights of all the events that happened during the week. If you didn't get a chance to listen to Palace Intrigue on a daily basis, what we're doing this show is try and bring you all the stories, much abridged, much abbreviated, and in a shorter form. If you need longer versions, please go back and listen to the daily versions in the world of the Royals. This week, Megan Sussex has revealed the first look at the packaging for her as ever raspberry jam, and the result has left the public somewhat stunned. The Duchess showcased a gleaming white case nearly double the size of the actual jar, complete with gold detailing, dainty white label, and a metal lid, all of which, to the casual observer, appear more befitting a luxury candle or perfume than a fruit preserve. What was that you heard, Yes, it was Queen Elizabeth Rowl in her grave. Social media reactions have been as tart as the jam itself. When unimpressed onlooker exclaimed Megan is just jam it doesn't require an entire presentation as packaging is as pretentious as she as. Others echoed the sentiment, noting that the elaborate box looks like a perfume, with another adding seems like a lot of extra packaging for a company that wants to be environmentally aware.

1:23 Harry and Meghan are once again at the center of a royal controversy, this time over a wreath at Prince Phillip's funeral in April of twenty one. The couple were the only members of the royal family to include a press release with their floral tribute, a move critics quickly branded sickening in a pr stunt. Their wreath, designed by Cotswold's florist Willow Crossley, who had previously arranged flowers for their wedding and Archie's christening, featured a carefully curated selection of blooms, each chosen for symbolic meaning, according to the Sussex statement. Included Bear's breaches to one of phillips Greek heritage see Holly for his Royal Marines service, rosemary for remembrance, roses for his birth month, and aavender for devotion. The arrangement stood out among eight more modest family tributes in Saint George's chapel and was accompanied by a handwritten card from Megan, who remained in California due to her pregnancy.

2:10 But while the sentiment may have been well in Tangent, many in royal circles and online were left unimpressed. Even Meghan's flower arranger had her own pr agency, noted Royal biographer Robert Lacy. Do you think they've got enough recognition for your wreath now, Meghan asked one sarcastic social media user. Another echoed the sentiment, she just can't help herself. Me, me, me, It's all quite seconding. Prince Harry has said to be grief stricken and feels as if he has had one of his fingers cut off following the public implosion of his Lesotho based HIV and AIDS charity center. Bali Alex Rainer, an old Etonian friend of the Prince who has remained in contact with him, said, h is very happy for me to speak for him and about how he feels about this awful situation. He is just beyond heartbroken and flabbergasted that the charity he founded as a teenager had been taken hostage by the chair. It feels tantamount to a hostile takeover. Is upset and hurt and wounded about the things that are being said about him. I think it's too early to tell whether he would just walk away now or whether he might try and get it back.

3:08 The way he feels is as if he has had one of his fingers cut off. Prince William has confirmed that this year's earth Shop Prize Awards will take place in Rio this November, marking the first time the environmental honors will be staged in South America. The ceremony will coincide with the cop thirty UN Climate Summit, also in Brazil, set in the stage for what may prove to be a significant moment a global climate calendar. Launched by Prince William in twenty twenty, the earth Shop Prize awards five one million pound prizes each year to individuals and organizations offering groundbreaking solutions to environmental challenges. The five categories, known as earth Shots are protect and restore nature, clean our air, revive our oceans, build a waste free world and fix our climate. Prince William also has taken a striking step away from royal tradition by hiring the same legal firm that represented his late mother, Diana, Princess of Whale, during her divorce from King Charles. The move has been widely interpreted as a signal of his determination to chart a new course, one that is distinctly his own. According to reports in The Daily Mail and the Son, William has now parted ways with Harbottle and Lewis, the long preferred legal advisers of his father, in favor of Michon de Reya, the firm that stood by Diana through her tumultuous split from the then Prince of Wales in nineteen ninety six.

4:24 Now nearly three decades on, her son has turned to the same firm. Sow As close to the Prince, told The Mail Wheniam wanted to strike out on his own, he did not want to continue using his father's lawyers. It's as simple as that he wants to be his own man. William wants to do things differently from his father and wants to be seen to do them differently. Prince William also had a close call on the pitch during a royal engagement. Former Lioness Jill Scott has revealed the Prince of Wales was nearly injured when the footballing star accidentally took him out during a charity match, a moment she says left her momentarily panicked at the thought of having side tackled the future King of England. Speaking on the Jonathan Ross Show, Scott recalled there rather dramatic first meeting we were opening this school. She said, I just had trainers and it was AstroTurf. I slipped and wiped him out. I thought, I've just slide tackled the future King. It's such a lovely guy. In another moment, captured ahead of the Euroscott was photographed speaking animatedly with the Prince. She explained the now viral image of saying before the Euros, he came to Saint George's part to say hello to the goals and wish them luck. I took our coffee cup to give it to him from our coffee shop. I thought it'd be a nice gesture.

5:26 I gave it to a security there in the picture of trying to explain to him the difference between a flat white and a large latter. More Palace Weekly in just a moment, a collision in Western Australia has promoted concern for Virginia Geoffrey, the woman who accused Prince Andrew of sexual assaultant who has long spoken out as a victim of Jeffrey Epstein. Missus Geoffrey sheared a harrowing message on social media over the weekend, claiming she had been struck by a school bus traveling at nearly seventy miles per hour and was now suffering from kidney failure with just four days to live. The accompanying image showed her when in a hospital bed, her face bruised, and her message was a heartfelt plea to see her three children, from whom she is believed to be estranged. However, Western Australian Police have offered a markedly different account of events.

6:10 They confirmed to the Telegraph that a minor crash did indeed occur in March twenty fourth and near Gabby, some twelve miles north of Perth, involving a school bus and a car, but Acting Police Commissioner Kyle Whitely told reporters that there were no reported injuries as a result of the crash, and that the incident was not reported until the following day by the bus driver. Police assessed the vehicle damage at approximately two thousand dollars. Australian Andrew is said to be unsurprised by Virginia Geoffrey's recent claims about this serious bus crash, though friends of the Duke of York consist the renewed attention has stirred sadness for him and his family. Prince Harry has reportedly severed tires with his cousin, Princess Eugenie after she was seen having lunch with broadcast at Piers Morgan, one of the most outspoken critics of the Duke and Duchess Sussex. Despite the wider family tensions following Harry and Meghan's departure from royal duties in twenty twenty, Harry remained on good terms with Eugenie. However, according to The Sun, that relationship is soured in the wake of the lunch with Morgan last April. A dim view was taken of this, as Peers has clashed with Meghan and Harry in the past. A friend told the newspaper, Eugenie has been supportive of Harry and Meghan for years and was right there at the beginning of their relationship, but it is now Soward. Peers has now confirmed the reports himself, claiming on Peers Morgan uncensored that Harry went completely ballistic after seeing images of Eugenie with him that was because of me. Morgan said she was having lunch with me and a group of people in a pub in London and I was seen hugging them goodbye, and Harry saw this and went completely ballistic. I can confirm that this is entirely true because he couldn't bear it
