00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.359
Callaroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Weekly. I'm

2
00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:17.359
your host Mark Francis. Once again, this show is an

3
00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:21.839
abbreviated rundown of all the topics we covered during the week,

4
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:24.160
and you can get the more expanded version by listening

5
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:28.760
to daily episodes of Pallace Intrigue. The Duchess of Sussex

6
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.280
has once again drawn headlines and no shortage of commentary

7
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:33.799
after attending a Broadway performance in New York with what

8
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:38.119
has been described as an absolutely abnormal motorcade. According to

9
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:41.159
Page six, Megan arrived at the Majestic Theater last week

10
00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.520
to see the musical Gypsy, accompanied by a security detail

11
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:48.880
that included three black SUVs and an unmarked NYPD police vehicle.

12
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:52.159
It is also reported that the Duchess had employed former

13
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.439
Secret Service agents as part of her private team, and

14
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:59.880
that two intelligence detectives rode in the NYPD car. Photographers

15
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:02.240
on the scene criticized the scale of the operation, calling

16
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.640
it over the top and ridiculous, and raising questions about

17
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:09.159
whether taxpayer resources were involved. One source reportedly fumed, Meghan

18
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:11.200
is out of control and over the top, and it's

19
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:13.560
ridiculous if the city is paying for this and if

20
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:16.560
NYPD was not on duty, then they shouldn't be allowed

21
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.239
to run lights. Somebody's going to be paying for it.

22
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.599
In what Summer calling a small but meaningful gesture, Meghan

23
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.879
is said to have quietly extended an olive branch to

24
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:29.640
the King through a very modern means, a curated gift

25
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.760
box from her lifestyle brand as Ever. Royal correspondent Nil

26
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.519
Schwan told Fox News Digital that according to a very

27
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.239
well placed source of sample bux from Meghan's recently launched

28
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:42.640
a venture was delivered to Clarence House, the London residents

29
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.599
of the King. The box reportedly included as Ever products

30
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.280
such as jam, honey, crepe mix and other artisanal items,

31
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.599
each one symbolic of the Duchess's new California based brand.

32
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.840
Sewan added that Meghan included a handwritten note and has

33
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.599
said she holds the Kin in such high regard. The

34
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:01.000
Palace has not commented public and the claim has not

35
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.640
been independently verified. Royal commentator Ian Pellham Turner told Fox

36
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:09.159
News tiny gestures like this her way of showing compassion

37
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.120
for what the King is going through and helping to

38
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:16.360
rebuild bridges between Prince William Prince Harry King. Megan has

39
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:18.520
made a surprising move into the six hundred billion dollar

40
00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.599
menopause market with a fresh investment in Midi Health, a

41
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.120
virtual clinic focused on women's health after age thirty five.

42
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.800
The California based startup raised sixty three million dollars in

43
00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:31.719
its latest funding round, and Meghan joined the high profile

44
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:35.960
list of backers alongside Amy Schumer, Connie Britton, Tory Birch,

45
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:40.000
and Cheryl Sandberg. According to Fortune and Tech Crunch, Meghan's

46
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.280
involvement aligns with her strategy of investing in female led companies.

47
00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:45.840
She's now backed over ten since moving to the US

48
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:50.400
in twenty twenty. Her portfolio includes everything from coffee clever

49
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:54.520
blends to clean beauty, highbrow hippie, and she's now targeting

50
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.960
health tech with Midi, which offers virtual visits priced around

51
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.800
one hundred ninety two pounds for an initial appointment, in

52
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:04.840
a move that has raised more than a few carefully

53
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:08.240
arched eyebrows. The podcaster and fruit spread vendor has released

54
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.719
a curated Easter edit on her shop My shopping page

55
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.719
featuring a selection of children's clothes that appear to pay

56
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.639
homage to the wardrobe of her sister in law's famously

57
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:22.319
photo Jenny Offspring. Yes, Megan Markle has perhaps unwittingly, perhaps

58
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:26.400
very deliberately promoted clothing brands long associated with Princess Charlotte,

59
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.120
Prince George and Prince Louis. Among the selections is a

60
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.639
floral rabbit dress from British children's labeled Trotter's, a brand

61
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:35.680
closely linked with the Princess of Wales. Princess Charlotte were

62
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.199
a version of this very dress in birthday photos released

63
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:40.879
by the Palace when she turned for a photograph credited

64
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.280
to Kate herself, which promptly caused the dress to sell out.

65
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.319
Whether the move is a quiet peace offering, an act

66
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:51.159
of royal wardrobe diplomacy, or simply the Sussexes aligning their

67
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.919
esthetic with a proven crowd pleaser remains to be seen.

68
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.280
But as royal watchers know all too well, in the

69
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.960
world of windsor wardrobes, nothing is ever just a coincidence.

70
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:03.919
On to Harry, the Duke of Sussex is once again

71
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:06.360
the subject of scrutiny following a wholl wind visit to

72
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.840
war torn Ukraine just days after attending a security related

73
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.199
court hearing in London Royal correspondent Richard Palmer told The

74
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:16.279
Daily Mail the reaction has been uniform. People are saying,

75
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.800
hang on, he's come over here because he needs police protection,

76
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.240
because he's not safe in the UK, but then he's

77
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.079
gone to a war zone in Ukraine. The visit is

78
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:26.879
also raising eyebrows in political circles, with suggestions that the

79
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:30.680
Prince's public display of support for President Zelensky could complicate

80
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.639
matters upon his return to the United States. I'm sure

81
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.160
it will not go down with some in the Trump camp,

82
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.480
Palmer worn. It is a public show of support for

83
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:43.000
Zelensky and Ukraine, so that may make life a little

84
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.319
less comfortable for him in the US when he gets back.

85
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.439
Prince Harry's once close relationship with his father has grown

86
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.879
so strained that the Duke of Sussex was reportedly unaware

87
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.240
of the King's most recent hospital stay, learning of it

88
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.279
only through news coverage, despite both men being in the

89
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.040
United Kingdom at the same time. Next week, the father

90
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:04.160
and son did not meet. It is now said they

91
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.199
have not seen one another in person for over a year,

92
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.480
and since the King revealed his cancer diagnosis, the gulf

93
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:12.000
between them has only widened. Friends close to Harry have

94
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.680
told People magazine that his attempts to contact his Majesty,

95
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.240
including calls and letters, have gone unanswered. Charles has been

96
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.480
unavailable during Harry's last three visits to the UK. One

97
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.839
source told the magazine another Palace insideer was plunt, stating

98
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.560
I don't think there is any reproachment. A second added

99
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.879
simply they are distant. To be fair to Charles, he

100
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.120
wasn't so much unavailable last week as he was in

101
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.120
Italy for a long planned, well announced trip. The Duke

102
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.399
of Sussex is once again facing scrutiny, this time from

103
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:41.839
within the very charity he helped to found. Accusations have

104
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:45.160
emerged suggesting that Prince Harry lost interest in the organization

105
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.560
sent to Bali following his marriage to Megan Markle, with

106
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.879
one prominent figure alleging his absence killed the spirit of

107
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:57.600
the charity. Chief Koabani Thako, brother to Prince Cizio of Sotho,

108
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.160
Harry's co founder and the venture, told The Telegraph that

109
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.399
the Duke has been noticeably absent since his twenty eighteen wedding.

110
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:05.920
He's a loved figure because of his openness, but his

111
00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.040
loss of interest has totally killed the spirit of Center

112
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:11.480
Bali's survival. He said, I haven't seen him since he

113
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.680
got himself married. Prince Harry has spoken publicly for the

114
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:19.120
first time about the success of Meghan Markle's lifestyle brand,

115
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:23.439
American Riviera Orchard, launched under the label as Ever, which

116
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.240
sold out its debut product line in under an hour.

117
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.160
In an exclusive interview with People magazine, the Duke of

118
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.439
Sussex said, I am so happy for my wife and

119
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.639
fully support absolutely everything she's done continues to do. Incredibly proud.

120
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:38.879
The remarks come as Meghan's business ventures continued to expand,

121
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:42.199
including her Netflix series with Love Megan, which premiered in March,

122
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.480
and a new podcast entitled Confessions of a Female Founder.

123
00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:49.639
The Duchess of Sussex has reignited controversy by sharing a

124
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:51.879
message on Instagram in which she and Prince Harry were

125
00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:55.079
addressed as Your Royal Highness, a style they agreed to

126
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:57.399
stop using when they stepped back from royal duties in

127
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:01.199
twenty twenty. The Instagram post over the weekend featured a

128
00:07:01.240 --> 00:07:05.240
letter from Ukraine's Vice Prime Minister Yulia Srivadenko, which began,

129
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.680
Your Royal Highness, I would like to express my sincere

130
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:10.480
thanks for everything your family is doing for Ukraine. While

131
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.439
the Sussexes never formally relinquished there his and her Royal

132
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:17.040
Highness titles, Buckingham Palace made clear in twenty twenty they

133
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.639
would no longer use them as they are no longer

134
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.879
working members of the royal family. A source close to

135
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:25.639
King Charles tells The Daily Beast, it's outrageous. Every time

136
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.079
you think they can't make it worse, they make it worse.

137
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:30.000
The deal with the HRH was a way to stop

138
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.360
them cashing in while letting them walk away with pride

139
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:34.920
and dignity and trust. And now Markel is using her

140
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.639
HRH on a website which seems to exist to sell jam.

141
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.199
We'll step in to point out that Megan is selling

142
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:45.399
fruit spread, not jam. More Palace Weekly in just a moment,

143
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:52.240
the once ted fraternal bond between Princess William and Harry

144
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:55.160
began to quietly frey, not with mexit, but much earlier,

145
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.480
According to royal author Tina Brown. In the Palace Papers

146
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.680
Inside the House of windsor Truth on the Turmoil, Brown

147
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:04.839
quotes a former aide who claims the brother's relationship hadn't

148
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:08.199
been the same since William married Kate. While the two

149
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:10.879
princes continued to live side by side at Kensington Palace

150
00:08:10.920 --> 00:08:14.240
and shared both an office and regular social time. Brown

151
00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:17.199
writes that Harry privately mourned his us against the World

152
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.600
bond with William. As William settled into his married life

153
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.800
with the now Princess of Wales, Brown suggests Harry felt

154
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:26.720
edged out of the equation. Harry felt displaced by their

155
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:30.199
bougie family unit and couldn't understand his brother's obsession with

156
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:33.600
his Middleton in laws, she writes, adding that the Middleton's

157
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:37.080
lifestyle bought Harry to tears. As William grew into his

158
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.919
role as future king, Brown asserts he became less tolerant

159
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:42.840
of his younger brother's wild child ways. He was less

160
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.480
amused than the British public by either the strip billiards

161
00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:48.240
to Buckle in Las Vegas or Harry's ceaseless boozy nightclub

162
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:53.039
forays with his routed friends. His younger brother's recklessness exasperated him.

163
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.840
Should the whole being king thing not work out, Prince

164
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:00.240
William may already have his dream back up job lined up.

165
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:04.080
Football pundit Willis was with George in Paris. Last week

166
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.399
to watch Aston Villa face off against Paris Saint Germain

167
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.840
and the Champions League clash. Speaking with T and T

168
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:12.399
Sports Rio Ferdinand and Ali McCoist, William showed himself to

169
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:16.240
be every inch the armed chair tactician. Referring to Aston

170
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:20.559
Villa manager Unaimory, he analyzed the team's prospects against PSG,

171
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.159
saying we all saw the Liverpool game. PSG's intensity the

172
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:27.159
first leg they were unbelievable. They gave a lot of pressure.

173
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:30.120
They pressed very high. So for une to Night and team,

174
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:34.399
it's about managing that press. The commentary drew admiration from

175
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:38.440
Rio Ferdinand, who laughed, do not go for a pundit's job, please,

176
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:40.840
because I could be out of the game. He added

177
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.960
the way he just dissected that down, I'm going to

178
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:47.080
nick that for later on. William, who predicted a two

179
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:49.720
to one for Villa, they have been overly optimistic. PSG

180
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.320
won three to one, but the Royal remains undeterred in

181
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:57.080
his support for the club. Curiously, Harper's Bazaar went with

182
00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.519
a story about succession planning. Royal author Tom When tells

183
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:03.519
Harper is bizarre. The people have spoken to have said

184
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:06.159
that The succession planning, as they call it, began even

185
00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:09.759
before charles diagnosis. I mean he's the oldest Prince of

186
00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:12.720
Wales to become king in history, so succession planning had

187
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.080
begun before Charles came to the throne, simply because of

188
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.240
the age issue. While the king has shown little sign

189
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:21.240
of slowing down and continuing engagements abroad and at home,

190
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:24.759
there are increasing signs of strain Anderson, says Queen and

191
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:27.759
Millister worries that her husband is perhaps pushing himself too hard.

192
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.200
Nobody really expected him to be an ideal patient. King

193
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:34.039
Charles has always been very impatient and is accustomed to

194
00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:37.000
getting his way at all times. Anyone who thought he

195
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.200
would obey his doctors and take it easy indefinitely doesn't

196
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:42.879
know the man. Indeed, less than two weeks after his

197
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.720
hospitalization in March, Charles was on a plane to Italy.

198
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:48.879
The pace of this reign hasn't changed since it started,

199
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:51.559
says Hardman. Life is carrying on as it would have

200
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:53.879
done if he hadn't had the cancer. I think the

201
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.159
best way of putting it is he's living with cancer

202
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.320
rather than suffering from cancer. And as for the Waleses,

203
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.440
I think very much aware that their time as Prince

204
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:04.080
and Princess of Wales may be limited, but el Smith

205
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.080
adds it's probably safe to assume that they're preparing for

206
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.759
it sooner rather than later. This week, on the TV

207
00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:14.799
series Elsbear, things took a delightfully cheeky turn when our

208
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.840
favorite redhead sleuth found herself outside a very post funeral

209
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:20.519
home in the middle of a murder investigation. As Carrie

210
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.320
Preston's Ellsworth chattered with a photographer lingering outside, she asked

211
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:26.919
if he was there for photos of the senator's family.

212
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:30.879
His reply, family, no friends. Yes, rumor has it Harry

213
00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:32.559
and Megan are going to be here. A good shot

214
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.600
of them will make my whole year. Ellsworth, ever polite,

215
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:37.559
gave him her breezy good luck and carried on with

216
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.759
her case. Later in the episode, she bumped into the

217
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.799
same photographer again, this time no royal sightings. Family decided

218
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:45.799
to creemate instead, he told her, which put an end

219
00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.639
to that tabloid dream. This isn't Elsba's first brush with

220
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.399
Megan related banter. Back in January, the show poked fun

221
00:11:52.519 --> 00:11:55.720
at wellness culture with a subtle nod to Montecito life

222
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:59.120
during an episode investigating a suspect who ran a suspiciously

223
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:04.080
holistic center. Megan wasn't named, but fans certainly caught the vibe.

224
00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:06.440
William and Kate will not be attending this year's Easter

225
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:09.080
Mattin service at Saint George's Chapel, Windsor, choosing the state

226
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.679
to spend the holiday weekend privately with their children at

227
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:15.080
their country home in Norfolk. It marks the second consecutive

228
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.679
year that the couple have missed the traditional royal gathering.

229
00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:20.840
Last year's absence followed shortly after the Princess of Wales

230
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.399
received her cancer diagnosis, which was not made public at

231
00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:26.360
the time. According to a source speaking to The Daily Mirror,

232
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:29.240
Prince William discussed the decision with his father, the King,

233
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.679
who agreed that they could spend the Easter weekend with

234
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:34.480
their family. The source added they are choosing to spend

235
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.000
time together as a family before the children go back

236
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:40.159
to school, and this Easter Sunday, young visitors to Sandringham

237
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.080
are in for retreat as the estate prepares to host

238
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.600
a special Easter egg trail and Aid of East Anglian

239
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:48.240
Air Ambulance. In the post shared to the Sandringham Instagram account,

240
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:51.559
on Tuesday. The message read join us this Easter Sunday

241
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:54.320
for an Easter egg trail in aid of East Anglian

242
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:57.320
Air Ambulance. It's an event likely to bring a smile

243
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:59.360
to Prince William's face. The Prince of Wales worked for

244
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.639
the East england An Air Ambulance from twenty fifteen to seventeen,

245
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:06.759
piloting emergency response helicopters during a deeply personal chapter of

246
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:09.399
his life. William and Kater believed to be spending the

247
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:12.600
school holidays at Anamhall, the country residence in Norfolk, just

248
00:13:12.639 --> 00:13:16.039
a short distance from Sandringham, with Prince George Princess Charlotte.

249
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:19.039
Prince Lewis currently on break from Lambrook School. The family

250
00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:20.840
could well pop by the egg hunt or enjoy a

251
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.919
private Easter celebration at the grounds of their estate. There's

252
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.399
also speculation that the family may attend at the traditional

253
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:29.440
Easter Sunday church service at Saint George's Chapelain Windsor, which

254
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:31.879
they missed last year as the Princess of Wales began

255
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:35.919
cancer treatment. Meanwhile, in Montecito, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

256
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.600
are likely to be celebrating with their own Easter festivities.

257
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:41.399
The couple previously shared a glimpse of their twenty twenty

258
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:45.240
one celebration, which featured a Peter Rabbit themed garden egg

259
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.240
hunt for Prince Archie. Megan was pregnant with Princess Lilibet

260
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.879
at the time and her mother dri At Ragland joined

261
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:54.679
in the preparations and they have it planning. To email
