PALACE WEEKLY: ROYAL REACTIONS AND COURTROOM DRAMA!

0:03 Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome through Pallace Weekly. I'm your host, Mark Francis. This is a roundup of all the week's news in royal events that you may have missed if you didn't catch the daily version of Palace Intrigue. And let's start with the biggest news of the week and the new podcast from Megan. The Guardian gave her new podcast two and a half stars, saying the Duchess of Sussex fauns over entrepreneur guests and delivers overwrought messages to listeners, while claiming her lifestyle brand is an extension of my essence. It's a bit much. Rachel Arresti writes, remember the girl Boss. She burst into the zeitgeist in the twenty tens, riding the eras a nebulous wave of female and parliament and proving that women could become incredibly rich by homing capitalist empires just like men. Branding WI, she had some issues, beginning with that infantile monika and peak with a series of toxic workplace scandals. This, combined with the fact that celebrating corporate greed took on an even more nauseating hue post pandemic means we haven't heard from her for quite a while. Yet this new podcast from Megan Dutchess of Sussex is alive with the spirit of the girl Boss. The Spectator was less kind under the headline Megan Michael's new podcast is just tow curling and unsubtleed Dross. Alexander Larman writes, somehow incredibly Meghan manages to make it all about herself all over again. Under any normal circumstances, one would feel deeply sorry for her revelation that she had suffered from the painful and frightening

1:35 condition postparton preclamsyer. But here it is simply served up as yet another titbit, another revelation that will strengthen her vulnerable yet indomitable qualities and allow her most ardent admirers to flock behind her in the process. In an interview with Fortune, Megan discussed how the Trump's Administration's proposed to tariffs are unlikely to affect her fledgling business, at least for now. The fruit spread entrepreneur said, at the moment, all of our products are currently made in the US, so we don't anticipate tariff's affecting us directly, but as we look at the larger context of how this is going to affect the consumer day to day. I'm very grateful that in part of the conception of this brand, I wanted to create products that look more prestige but are more accessible and affordable. I think during any time of recession, people still want to find creature, comforts, items that can bring them joy. You'll see the bulk of our SKUs are under twenty dollars. From our standpoint, certainly, for me, even in the expansion of the brand, things should still feel accessible. Meghan is said to face a renewed legal challenge from her half sister, Samantha Markle, who will attempt to revive her previously dismissed libel lawsuit during a court hearing schedule for the week beginning August eleventh.

2:45 The appeal will be heard at the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeal in Atlanta, where judges will consider Samantha's claims that Megan orchestrated a smear campaign against her through the now infamous twenty twenty one Oprah Winfrey interview and subsequent Netflix dot Com documentary Harry and Meghan Samantha Markle originally filed the lawsuits in twenty twenty two, accusing Meghan of making false and malicious statements about her upbringing and family relationships. However, the case was thrown out in March twenty twenty four by a Florida judge who ruled that Meghan was expressing opinions protected under the First Amendment and on to Prince Harry has been seen in Britain for the first time in over six months. He arrived at London's Royal Court's Tuesday to attend the appeal hearing his ongoing legal battle over police protection. Wearing a dark suit and tied, the Duke of Sussex appeared composed as he waived waiting reporters, but declined to answer questions, including whether he had spoken with his father, King Charles. The two day appeal hearing comes after Harry challenged the twenty twenty decision by the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures Rayvack, which downgraded his publicly funded security upon stepping back from full time royal duties and relocating to California with his wife.

3:57 Harry was noticeably absent from the wedding of one of his oldest and dearest friends, Lord Child Vivian, over the weekend, despite being back in the UK, Lord Vivian wed Saweda Kamara at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London in what was described as a private but joyful affair. Among the guests was a notable absence. When asked by The Daily Mail whether Harry had been invited, the groom confirmed, I don't know. He has a lot on. Vivian attended Harry's wedding toon Megan Marchael in twenty eighteen and has been a trusted friend and supporter through numerous charitable ventures, particularly in Africa. His absence from such a personal milestone in Vivian's life will undoubtedly raise eyebrows, particularly given Harry's presence in the UK at the time. Prince Harry was hurried out of court on Wednesday during a hearing into his security arrangements following an outburst from a member of the public.

4:44 Parts of the hearing were held in private without members of the press or public, and shortly after the court room was cleared, a woman shouted, I support you, Prince Ary as the Duke left the room. She then added if you are members of the press. You're the reason he's no longer in England. Prince Harry was briefly removed from the court room following the incident. It's understood that after the woman had departed, he returned for the private portion of proceedings. Printerr has also added his name to a long list of international figures who have traveled to Ukraine since the start of the war. The Duke of Sussex made an unannounced visit Thursday to the city of le Viv, where he toured the Superhuman's Center, a rehabilitation facility that provides free care to civilians and soldiers injured in the conflict with Russia. The visit, confirmed only after his departure for security reasons, saw the Prince speaking with patients, including a wounded child and men who had lost limbs, as well as meeting Ukraine's Minister of Veteran Affairs, the Taliet Kamlikova. The clinic specializes in reconstructive surgery, prosthetics, psychological support, and Harriet was joined by a delegation from the Invictors Games Foundation. Fitting given his long standing dedication to the well being of war veterans. The timing of the visit, however, has prompted murmurs in some royal circles. Came during a four day visit to Italy by King Charles and Queen Camilla, an engagement that included a surprise audience with Pope Francis, who was covering from a severe illness. Royal protocol traditionally discourages competing engagements that might eclipse the monarch's presence abroad.

6:07 Buckingham Palace declined to comment on the overlap. More Pallace Sweekly in just a moment. The princess emerged this spring with afresh, sun kissed update to her signature look, and it took many observers a moment to realize why she appeared just that little bit brighter. After years of favoring rich, chocolate brown waves, Catherine had subtly shifted her hair to include soft blonde highlights, catching the light in a way that's both understated and undeniably glamorous. The change, while far from dramatic, has added a new warmth and radiance to her overall appearance. The transformation appears to have begun during the family's mid February holiday to Mustique by March. The effect was fully noticeable at the Commonwealth Day Service in Westminster Abbey, then again at the Saint Patrick's Day Parade.

6:53 The lighted turns framed her face and caught the camera's attention. A visiting cardiff, where the Prince of Wales confirmed at Kate's hair, had a glow to match the season and King Charles has become the first British monarch to address both houses of the Italian Parliament, delivering a speech in Rome on the third day of his state visit. In a wide arranging address, the King warned the democracies such as the United Kingdom and Italy must stand together in troubled international times and spoke of the shared values that underpin their partnership. Peace is never going to be taken for granted, said the King, highlighting the importance of continued support for Ukraine. He noted that we are both European countries and praised the unity shown as the UK and Italy stood by Ukraine in her hour of need. He was too observed that young people today are witnessing the realities of war in real time through their smartphones and tablets.

7:40 The King received a lengthy standing ovation from Italian lawmakers gathered in the Palazzo Montesseetorio, the ornately decorated seat of the lower House of Parliament. At one point, the applause was so prolonged that an Italian official mistakenly began his own remarks, thinking the speech had ended. Back in London, the anniversary was marked with a musical tribute of Buckingham Palace, where the guards performed a brass condition of madnesses it must be Love. A newly released photograph shows King Charles and quin Camilla in a private audience with Pope Francis, held at the Casa Santa Marta. The image captures the monarch standing with a red diplomatic box in hand, while the Queen bends in greeting before the Holy Father. All three dressed in accordance with Vatican protocol, black attire for the royal couple, white for the Pontiff. The meeting came on a significant personal occasion for their majesties, the twentieth wedding anniversary, which Pope Francis acknowledged with a congratulatory message.

8:31 During the encounter, the trio also exchanged gifts, though the details of those have not been disclosed. It is understood that Pope Francis himself extended the invitation to their majesties after their previously discussed state visits the Vatican was postponed due to his illness.
