00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:07.360
Hello, and welcome to Palace Weekly. I am your host,
2
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:10.599
Mark Francis, and just a reminder that this show is
3
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:14.320
a wrap up of all the stories we brought you
4
00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:18.399
this week on Palace Intrigue and Daily in an abbreviated form,
5
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:20.519
and if you'd like the longer versions, please go back
6
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:23.519
and listen to the Daily Show. And let's kick it
7
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:28.359
off where Megan and the headline Duchess of death in
8
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:30.760
the Daily Mail. Now we're obviously not the biggest megad
9
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.039
supporters around here, but come on, now, that's a bit much.
10
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:36.679
Megan Kelly has drawn sharp criticism after making a highly
11
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:40.240
inflammatory remark on her podcast accusing Meghan Markle of having
12
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:42.880
killed the Queen, which seems a bit harsh as the
13
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:46.200
queen died at age ninety six, sad but not stunning.
14
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.079
The former news anchor made the explosive statement during an
15
00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.960
episode of The Megan Kelly Show while in conversation with
16
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:56.200
bas Sports founder Dave Portenoy, so not exactly a conversation
17
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.159
between Edward R. Morrow and David Frost. The two were
18
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.840
discussing Michael's latest appearance on Jamie kern Lima's podcast when
19
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:08.599
Kelly suddenly interjected another thing, she killed the Queen. In
20
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.760
the Daily Mail, Maureene Callahan writes, in what can only
21
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.480
be described as a spectacularly dumb decision in a history
22
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.560
of dumb decisions, Harry wailed his way through yet another
23
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.879
self pitying interview, this time when the BBC on Friday.
24
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:24.040
This interview is a doozy. We begin with Harry, as
25
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:26.480
ever wink wink, blaming other people for his own poor
26
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.560
decision making and bringing this case to a UK courtroom.
27
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.239
His loss, Harry said, certainly has proven that there was
28
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.760
no way to win this through the courts, of which
29
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.760
someone had told me that beforehand. I'm willing to bet
30
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.799
that no shortage of lawyers could have told Harry he
31
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.079
wouldn't win. But obstinate as he is, would he have listened.
32
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:47.680
In The Express, Sebastian Murphy compared Harry to David Brent
33
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:51.439
from the Office. Murphy writes, even a full zero media
34
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.640
training would know that the best strategy that Duke and
35
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.840
Duchess of Montecito could possibly pursue right now would be
36
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.680
one of quiet modesty. The British public might even rediscover
37
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.840
a little affection for this errant English son were he
38
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:06.920
to stop winging and be filmed primarily to promote charitable causes.
39
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.520
But no, this prickly prince decided once again to vent
40
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.439
the supposed injustice he's suffered. In an interview with the BBC.
41
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:16.960
Given his capacity for grievance, I'm surprised he could tolerate
42
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.479
sitting down for the former employer of disgraced Martin Bashier.
43
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.680
But sit down he did. When this muppet had finished
44
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:26.520
doing his best David Brent impression, perhaps he could pause
45
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.120
and refract that he'd still have security had he not
46
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.479
made the decision as a grown adult to step down
47
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:34.520
as a senior royal. I can't believe somebody can be
48
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.319
so dense as not to wake up one day, observe
49
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.439
that with which he's dissatisfied, and conclude that those frustrations
50
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:44.120
are the consequences of his own actions. Happily, for Harry,
51
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.879
he doesn't have that capability. I envy him how liberating
52
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.960
it would beat to playing quite literally everyone but myself
53
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.800
for every irritation services. Moving on, King Charles mark the
54
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.319
eightieth anniversary of ve Day by appearing on the Buckingham
55
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:02.960
Palace balcony without wearing military medals. A subtle but deeply
56
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:07.280
symbolic gesture, echoing his grandfather, King George the sixth appearance
57
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.400
on the very same day in nineteen forty five, accompanied
58
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.280
by Queen ca Miller, the Prince and Princess of Wales
59
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.960
and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Lewis.
60
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.599
The King looked out over cheering crowds gathered along the
61
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:20.800
mall in central London. Thousands of spectators had assembled to
62
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.639
witness the solemn commemoration, which included a stirring flypass by
63
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.039
the Royal Air Force culminating in a display by the
64
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.800
Red Arrows. The King and his family looked to the
65
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.879
skies as the aircraft thundered overhead. The moment rich with
66
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:36.680
both national pride and personal reflection, The Royal family's presence
67
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.960
underscore the continuity of duty and remembrance across the generations.
68
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:44.319
In other news, Buckingham Palace has confirmed that the Majesties
69
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.439
the King and Queen will undertake an official visit to
70
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.400
Canada later this month because they don't want us to
71
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.960
hit the beach Memorial Day weekend. The royal couple will
72
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.280
travel to Ottawa on May twenty six, and twenty seven
73
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.520
to attend the state opening of the Parliament of Canada.
74
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.960
The visit marks King charles twentieth offishal trip to Canada
75
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:04.199
and Queen Camilla's fifth. It will be their first North
76
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:07.400
American engagement since the coronation and comes just weeks after
77
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:11.840
Their Majesty's return from their most recent overseas engagements in Italy.
78
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.439
Charles has offered his most candid remarks yet about his
79
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.279
experience with cancer, describing it as a daunting and at
80
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:22.439
times frightening experience in a deeply personal written message shared
81
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:26.519
ahead of a special reception at Buckingham Palace for cancer charities.
82
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.279
In his remarks, which appear in the program for the event,
83
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.560
his Majesty underscored the stark reality that more than one
84
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.360
thousand people in the UK receive a cancer diagnosis each day.
85
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:39.759
As one among those statistics myself, he wrote, I can
86
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:41.279
vouch for the fact that they can also be in
87
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:45.160
experience and brings into sharp focus the very best of humanity.
88
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.920
His Majesty the King has also extended congratulations to His
89
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.199
Holiness Pope Leo the fourteenth, as the newly elected pontiff
90
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.040
takes over as Leader of the Roman Catholic Church. In
91
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:57.800
a statement on Friday, Buckingham Palace confirmed that His Majesty
92
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:00.439
had sent a private message to Pope Leo offering his
93
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.560
in Queen Camilla's most sincere good wishes for his pontificate.
94
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.079
A Palace spokesperson added that the King conveyed warm regards
95
00:05:07.079 --> 00:05:12.399
and noted Popelio's lifelong dedication to service, compassion and spiritual leadership.
96
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:15.040
The King, who has forged a strong relationship with the
97
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.560
Holy Sea, enjoyed a long standing rapport with the late
98
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:22.959
Pope Francis. A short list of five proposed designs for
99
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:25.759
the national momorial to Queen Elizabeth II has been unveiled,
100
00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:27.920
offering the public a first glimpse at how the late
101
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:31.040
monarch might be commemorated in Saint James Park, London. The
102
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.680
Cabinet Office has released the concepts online and is encouraging
103
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.639
members of the public to share their views. The designs,
104
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:40.519
varying from the traditional to the imaginative, all aimed to
105
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.399
reflect the character and reign of her Late Majesty, who
106
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:46.600
passed away in September of twenty twenty two after seventy
107
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.839
years on the throne. Notably, three of the five proposals
108
00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:52.560
depicted the Queen on horseback, a nod to her lifelong
109
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:57.480
passion for equestrian pursuits. More palace in just a moment,
110
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:07.120
The Daily Mail reported a Brazilian psychic knowing The Daily
111
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:11.240
Mail reported a Brazilian psychic known as the Living Nostra Damas,
112
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.199
has issued a striking prediction regarding the British Royal family.
113
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:18.600
Athos Salamee claims a major event linked to the health
114
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:21.040
of a senior royal is set to unfold between late
115
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:24.360
this year and early next. Notably, he foresees a symbolic
116
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.000
return to the United Kingdom by Prince Harry, a move
117
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.000
that could mark a tentative thawing of relations with King
118
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:34.079
Charles and Princess Eugenie. However, any reconciliation, according to Salome
119
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.839
will stop short of full repair. Prince William is said
120
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:40.040
to Romini fracture point, with no genuine mending of tires
121
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.639
between the brothers to the public eye, and the relationship
122
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:45.360
between the Sussexes and the British Royal family seems like
123
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:49.279
an endless cycle of tension. The psychic remarked that karmic
124
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.879
family thread will begin to unravel between late this year
125
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:58.279
and early next, King Charles has toured London's new super sewer.
126
00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.879
His Majesty, the King has marked the one of London's
127
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:05.480
most ambitious engineering projects by visiting the Thames Tideway Tunnel,
128
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.199
known informally as the super Sewer. The twenty five kilometer
129
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.199
long tunnel, ten years in the making, is designed to
130
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.680
intercept and divert sewage away from the River Thames, helping
131
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.639
to reduce pollution by an estimated ninety five percent. Stretching
132
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.120
from Acton to Beckton, the four and a half billion
133
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:26.439
pound infrastructure project involved twenty thousand workers over eight years
134
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:30.680
and now forms part of the Thames Water's wastewater system.
135
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:32.759
At the site in their embankment, the King met with
136
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:35.399
construction workers and storm and, expressing his appreciation for the
137
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.839
scale and ambition project, ever ready with a rye remark,
138
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.199
his Majesty equipped, don't worry, it's all going to come
139
00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:45.040
in one humongous horror, upon being told some sewage work
140
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.480
is made easier when it rains. The Thames Tideway Tunnel
141
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.720
stands as a significant investment in London's future, aiming to
142
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:55.519
keep its iconic river clean for generations to come for Charles.
143
00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:58.079
It was a symbolic visit, as recently he said to
144
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:01.959
put up with a lot of stuff and they inhabit.
