1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.640
Calorouga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Weekly. I

2
00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:18.199
am your host, Mark Francis. This is the abbreviated version

3
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:20.719
of all the stories we brought you during the week

4
00:00:21.160 --> 00:00:24.079
on Palace Intrigue, and if you'd like the original full

5
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:26.800
length versions, you can go back and take a listen

6
00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:31.160
to them daily there. Starting with Megan, Mikael and Prince

7
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:33.920
Harry's time at Netflix appears to be coming to an end.

8
00:00:34.039 --> 00:00:37.119
According to multiple reports, the couple's one hundred million dollar

9
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:41.000
deal with the streaming platform will not be renewed when

10
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.759
it expires later this year. Under their Archworld Productions banner,

11
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:48.479
they delivered several non fiction titles, including Harry and Meghan

12
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.840
lived to lead Heart of Invictus in the lifestyle series

13
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.560
With Love Megan. A source told People magazine that the

14
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.439
decision not to extend the contract reflects a shift in

15
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.079
Netflix's broader business strategy. Another insider shared with the Sun

16
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:06.079
that there's no animosity from either side and things have

17
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:10.040
just run their course. Though the Archwall Netflix relationship is

18
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:14.040
winding down, the already filmed second season of With Love

19
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:19.079
Megan is still expected to roll out as planned. Meghan's

20
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.000
wine is making headlines once again, this time not for

21
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.319
what's inside the bottle, but for how it's wrapped. Now

22
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.000
that the deliveries have started arriving, reviews are pouring in,

23
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:35.079
and not just about the taste. What's dividing fans the packaging.

24
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.879
Each bottle arrived wrapped in white tissue paper and nestled

25
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:42.920
inside a simple cardboard box. Some fans were delighted by

26
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.120
the presentation, isn't it lovely how it was packaged? Just

27
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:48.680
a lovely experience opening that box for the first time,

28
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:52.359
one customer posted on x Another compared it favorably to

29
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:57.200
established California wineries, saying, as ever, packaging is my father best.

30
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.840
But others were less than charmed an massive waste of

31
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.439
tissue paper. One critic wrote the bottles looked like bowling pins, ghosts,

32
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:08.840
or something worse. Another joke that the design might be

33
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:12.000
more suited to Halloween. All they need is a couple

34
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.159
of eyes and a spooky mouth on there, and she's

35
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:19.639
got a Halloween winner. Oprah Winfrey appeared on Let's Talk

36
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.719
Off Camera with Kelly Ripper, making a lighthearted remark about

37
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.280
Harry and Meghan's family name, referring to them playfully as

38
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:32.439
the Sussex while discussing her hypothetical plans for a baby chicks.

39
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.599
The moment drew laughter from the crowd and a subtle

40
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:37.639
nod to the tongue twister that is the Duke and

41
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:42.159
Duchess's shared title. Oprah also recalled the day Harry and

42
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:45.400
Meghan called her on Easter weekend with an unexpected dilemma,

43
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:48.840
A duck emergency. Sorry to bother you, oh, but we

44
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:52.280
have a duck problem here, Harry reportedly said. A duck

45
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:55.719
had wandered onto their property, laid eggs, and hatched ducklings,

46
00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:59.240
but with no proper pond. The couple were hoping Oprah's

47
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:03.280
estate might offer a more suitable home. Oprah agreed, but

48
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:07.039
things quickly descended into feathered chaos. As Harry opened the

49
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.560
car door in front of Oprah's friend Gail King and

50
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:12.439
her children, the mother duck made a break for it,

51
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:16.319
flying off while her ducklings remained in a box. What followed,

52
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:18.719
he Oprah said, was a half hour of duck herding

53
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.719
as she, Harry and Meghan, and others dashed around trying

54
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:26.439
to reunite the panicked mother with her fluffy offspring. Harry's

55
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.039
running after her, Megan's running after her. We've got ducks

56
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.000
in the box. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen,

57
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:36.479
Oprah laughed, adding that yes, there is video. Family Guy

58
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:39.039
is once again taking aim at the Sussexes. In a

59
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.479
recent episode, Stewie warns Brian that interfering in the past

60
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.240
could alter the future. Brian scoffs, doesn't the history pretty

61
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.080
much suck? He then battles off a list of history's

62
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:53.680
low points, Hitler, the Crusades, and finally, Prince Harry marrying Megan.

63
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.120
Michael cue the cutaway and animated Harry watching the episode

64
00:03:57.159 --> 00:04:00.319
on TV size again before turning to the camera, hands

65
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.360
on his hips, and asking, oh, like all of your

66
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.479
wives so much better. It's not the first time Family

67
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:08.520
Guy has mocked the couple. In the twenty twenty three episode,

68
00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:11.360
cartoon versions of Harry and Meghan were shown lounging by

69
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.199
a pool as a butler delivered their millions from Netflix

70
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:17.759
for no one knows what. Meghan then receives a notification

71
00:04:17.839 --> 00:04:20.879
for a paid Instagram post, and Harry groans, I shouldn't

72
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:24.759
have left the made up nonsense. That same year, South

73
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.959
Park took its own satirical swing. In the infamous Worldwide

74
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:32.199
Privacy Tour episode, thinly veiled charactures of Harry and Meghan

75
00:04:32.279 --> 00:04:36.240
marched around, demanding to be left alone while simultaneously making

76
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:40.959
global appearances. The show even lampooned Harry's memoir Spare, rebranding

77
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.560
it where a newly decoded exchange between Prince Harry and

78
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:49.519
Meghan Markle is raising fresh questions about just how early

79
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.759
the couple may have begun plotting their royal departure. According

80
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.319
to a new Channel five documentary titled lip Reading the Royals,

81
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.560
the secret conversations the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were

82
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:04.000
overheard via lip reading during a solemn event at Westminster

83
00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.360
Abbey in twenty eighteen. The occasion was the Service of

84
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:11.480
Remembrance marking one hundred years since the end of the

85
00:05:11.480 --> 00:05:14.920
First World War, a formal moment with the entire royal

86
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.199
family in attendance, including Queen Elizabeth. But while the cameras

87
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:23.879
captured polished expressions and respectful silence, lip reading expert Nicola

88
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.040
Hickling says something else entirely was unfolding in the hushed

89
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:31.360
tones between the Sussexes. She claims Megan quietly told Harry

90
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.639
to take advantage of the situation, prompting him to ask today.

91
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:39.360
Her reply, do it tonight. Then, In what has become

92
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.879
the documentary's most startling moment, Harry is said to ask,

93
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:45.920
you do realize that this is the end, to which

94
00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:51.560
Meghan reportedly responds, yeah, I do know. Happy birthday to

95
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.360
Prince George last Tuesday, who will find a major change

96
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:57.079
in his life. Once a royal in the direct line

97
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.360
of succession turns twelve, they are no longer permit to

98
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.639
travel with the person ahead of them in line to

99
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.279
the throne. That means George, now second in line, will

100
00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:11.319
have to begin traveling separately when undertaking official duties. The custom,

101
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.079
which dates back generations, is designed to protect the line

102
00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:19.319
of succession in the event of a tragic accident. Royal

103
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.319
watchers believe the Prince and Princess of Wales have made

104
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.639
up their minds about Prince George's next chapter. According to

105
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:28.879
a well placed insider, all roads lead to Eton. Currently,

106
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.680
George attends Lambruck School in Berkshire along with his younger

107
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.839
siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Leoid, but with secondary school

108
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:38.920
on the horizon. George is expected to move in September

109
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.199
twenty twenty six. The decision about where he'll go next

110
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:44.639
has been the subject of intense royal and media interest.

111
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.160
During a recent call into LBC Radio, a listener named

112
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.759
Hugh shared a memory that stuck with him from William's

113
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:57.360
military days. On a rainy, miserable three am training exercise

114
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:01.000
on Salisbury Plane, the future king wasn't issuing orders, he

115
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.120
was browing tea. You described the moment one of the

116
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:06.680
soldiers who was on Stag's sentry duty, kicked the other

117
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.360
one who was in his doss bag, and said, Somaja,

118
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.279
would you like a cup of tea? And Smudger stuck

119
00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.560
his head out of the magan and said, s please, Boss,

120
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:16.959
that would be great. He asked, how would you like

121
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.480
your Bruce Mudge? He said, NATO milken, two sugars. The

122
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:25.800
man who made that NATO standard tea, Prince William. You added,

123
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.079
that is what the military teaches you, that we're all

124
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.120
the same, we respect one another and look after one another.

125
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.639
Host Nick Ferrari then asked the obvious follow up, can

126
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:39.120
William make a good cup of tea? Hugh refused to answer.

127
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:44.000
Or just assume it was at least serviceable. King Charles

128
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.160
monarchy won't see an increase in its day to day

129
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:49.319
allowance this year, but the royal household is still points

130
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:53.360
to receive a dramatic funding boost. According to released figures,

131
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.240
the Sovereign Grant, the public money used to fund royal

132
00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:00.439
duties and maintain palaces, will surge by more than forty

133
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.959
five million pounds or about sixty million dollars in the

134
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.480
twenty twenty six to twenty seven financial year. For now,

135
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:09.519
the grant remained steady at around one hundred and ten

136
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.360
million for twenty twenty four twenty five, but thanks to

137
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:17.160
record profits from offshore wind farms leased by the Crown

138
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.079
of State, that figure will jump to approximately one hundred

139
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:23.839
and seventy million dollars next year and remain that level

140
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:29.279
into the next couple. Plans for the funeral of King Charles,

141
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:33.639
code named London Bridge, remain among the most closely guarded

142
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.240
secrets of the monarchy, but a recent media leak has

143
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.360
sparked a storm of recriminations behind palace walls, revealing the

144
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.960
iron grip with which royal communications are managed, even in

145
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.759
matters as sensitive as a Monarch's death. When The Telegraph

146
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.120
published its headline Grabbing Peace, Prince Harry and megane at

147
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.879
heart of King's funeral plans, it marked the first time

148
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.799
the British press had seriously lifted the veil on the

149
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:02.559
operation surrounding the King's adventures passing. The article claimed Harry

150
00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:05.120
and Meghan would be invited to take central roles and

151
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.000
that the traditional morning period might be shortened. But no

152
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.559
sooner had the story hit the newsstands than Pallace officials

153
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.399
sprang into damage control, despite the detail having reportedly come

154
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:19.639
from within the palace's own funeral planning team. According to

155
00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:23.600
The Daily Beast, the King's top communications chief, Turbin Andrea,

156
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:27.559
was livid, multiple sources confirmed, and Drea made frantic attempts

157
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:31.480
to halt or delay publication. One Fleet Street insider described

158
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.440
it as a meltdown on the phone with the Telegraph's editors,

159
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.960
despite the paper typically being among the more Pallace friendly publications.

160
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:44.559
Will Harry and Charles meet again? Roll biographer Tom Bower

161
00:09:44.559 --> 00:09:47.679
thinks perhaps not saying whether they'll meet again in charles

162
00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:51.159
lifetime depends on how long Charles lives. I couldn't say never,

163
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.240
because I'm sure Charles wants to meet his son, but

164
00:09:53.480 --> 00:09:57.279
so much depends on how Harry behaves. Harry is seriously

165
00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:59.720
worried that when his father dies one day, William will

166
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.000
list thoroughly banish him and he will have no status

167
00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:05.120
in Britain at all. He will be persona non grouter.

168
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:07.759
Harry needs a meeting with Charles to show he is

169
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.679
part of the royal family and to establish his credibility

170
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.000
in Britain, but as long as the Palace won't give

171
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.879
him access to Charles, he can't take the first step.

172
00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:18.840
They suspect that the moment he meets Charles, he will

173
00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:22.039
use it to establish his credibility, because that's what he

174
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:25.840
desperately needs, and that's also why he's kept away. My

175
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:28.399
money would absolutely be no if he did meet him,

176
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.080
it would be in private. A lot depends on charles health.

177
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.720
That is the unspoken issue in Britain today, more palace

178
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:42.279
than just a moment. Queen Camilla may now be at

179
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.559
the very top of the royal hierarchy, but even after

180
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:48.159
twenty years of marriage to King Charles, she continues to

181
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:52.159
keep one foot outside the gilded gates of pallace life

182
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:55.960
in a subtle yet telling detail. Royal photographer Chris Jackson

183
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:59.399
recently shared the Queen's new birthday portrait on Instagram and

184
00:10:59.639 --> 00:11:02.879
image showing Camilla looking relaxed with her rescue dog Molly.

185
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:05.879
But it's the setting, not the smile, that drew attention.

186
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:10.000
Pictured here happy and relaxed at home in ray Mill, Wiltshire,

187
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.519
Jackson wrote confirming that Camilla had once again chosen to

188
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:17.039
be photographed at her personal residence rather than at a

189
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:21.120
royal estate. The repetition of at home in ray Mill

190
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.879
was an accidental. While Clarence House is her official residence

191
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:27.080
with the King, and the couple often spend time at

192
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:31.759
High Grove House, ray Mill remains Camilla's private retreat, quietly

193
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:34.759
apart from the Royal Foal. She purchased the eight hundred

194
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:37.759
and fifty thousand pound property in nineteen ninety four after

195
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.120
her divorce from Andrew Parker Balls and lived there until

196
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:43.759
her two thousand and three marriage to Charles, but she

197
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:48.960
never gave it up. With speculation mounting about Prince William's

198
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.240
future plans for the monarchy, Charles has taken a very

199
00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:54.879
public step to secure Camilla's legacy within the royal family.

200
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:59.799
Charles has formerly named Camilla Vice Admiral of the United Kingdom,

201
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.679
making her the first woman in British history to hold

202
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:06.080
the honorary title. The ceremonial role, granted with the approval

203
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:09.519
of the First Sea Lord, Sir Gwynn Jenkins, is seen

204
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.360
as a significant affirmation of Camilla's standing in both the

205
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:16.519
royal family and the military establishment. Sir Gwynn said the

206
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.519
appointment would further enhance her Majesty's relationship with the service,

207
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.840
adding that her recent visit to HM Naval Base Devonport

208
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.080
had been a tremendous booster morale. The move comes at

209
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.600
a delicate time. While Camilla's marriage to the King has

210
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:33.320
lung since shifted from scandal to stability, and she is

211
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:35.200
said to get along well with both William and Kate,

212
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:38.840
the complex legacy of Charles's earlier relationship with Diana still

213
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:42.440
willoms large. In particular, Prince William is believed to retain

214
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:45.639
strong feelings of loyalty towards his late mother, which could

215
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:49.480
shape the monarchy's future direction. But while the King appears

216
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:53.279
open to reconciliation within the family, particularly with Prince Harry,

217
00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:57.679
William is reportedly far less forgiving. The Daily Beast recently

218
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:00.399
quoted a friend of the Prince of Wales saying William

219
00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.080
absolutely effing hates his brother and that he will never

220
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:06.799
ever forgive Harry for what he has done. The naming

221
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.240
of Camilla as Vice Admiral is the latest in a

222
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.279
series of moves by Charles to solidify his wife's position.

223
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:16.519
After originally bestowing the title Queen Consort, he later issued

224
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.240
a royal warrant updating her official style to simply Queen Camilla,

225
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.519
a sign of her full integration into the core of

226
00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:29.320
royal life. Harry did receive a rather unexpected show of

227
00:13:29.360 --> 00:13:33.360
public support, this time from a European royalty. Princess Delphine

228
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:37.799
of Belgium, speaking on its Reigning Men podcast, said they

229
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:40.519
lost such an important figure, and I feel very sorry

230
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:42.960
for Harry because I think that was traumatic for him.

231
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:45.679
She was referring, of course, to the death of Princess

232
00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:48.960
Diana when Harry was just twelve years old. Delphine went on,

233
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.399
I think Harry suffered so much, and I think he

234
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:55.039
was traumatized and it's coming out now. He's just traumatized.

235
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:58.039
He's doing these things and everybody's bullying him. But not

236
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:00.919
thinking about his trauna, and I just find terrible because

237
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:04.320
I feel like he's just been kind of left. Dauphine

238
00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:08.679
herself has personal experience navigating royal tensions. She discovered in

239
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:12.399
adulthood that her biological father was King Albert the Second

240
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:16.039
of Belgium and endure it a year's long legal battle

241
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:19.039
before finally being recognized as a member of the Belgian

242
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:24.080
royal family in twenty twenty. And there you have it.
