0:03 Calorogus shark media, Hello and welcome to Palace injury a gay, I'm your host, Mark Francis. Officials have indicated that King Charles and Queen Camilla have been extended an invitation for a state visit to Washington, d C. In April at the request of President Trump, though the King's ability to travel will depend on his health. One source remarked, we're hoping all the senior royals will come over. This is going to be a huge year for both the US and the UK. While preparations for America's two hundred and fiftieth anniversary gather pace on both sides of the Atlantic, Harry and Meghan are not expected to play any part of the commemorations, as one inside to put it, obviously, the Duke and Duchess of sussexiante working royals, so there will not be invited to any celebrations. Any invitation would have to come at the behest of the royal family themselves.

0:59 Should plans proceed, William and Kate are expected to travel to the United States for anniversary commemorations in July. Buckingham Palace says it does not comment on overseas visits until they are confirmed. A spokesperson for the Prince and Princess of Wales was unavailable for comment. Our writer John McDermott is said to be less than enthusiastic about the major royal visit as it means he will have to work July fourth weekend. Sorry John, some real grief for Sophie and Edward. In the news, Questions of being raised once again about the transparency of royal finances, this time concerning the Duke of Edinburgh's long term occupation at Bagshot Park. Campaign groups say the property, a one hundred and twenty room mansion in Surrey, could be generating income for the taxpayer were at least commercially by the Crown at state.

1:45 Prince Edward and the Duchess of Edinburgh have lived at Bagshot Park for twenty five years under the terms of a lease extension agreed in two thousand and seven with his company Eclipse Nominees Limited. Edward paid five million pounds up front for a year one hundred and fifty year lease and now pays only a peppercorn rent. The Crown Estate has maintained that the premium Edward paid in two thousand seven was market tested before being agreed, and that the use of the property is bound by restrictions reflecting its historic character. Bagshot Park was originally built between eighteen seventy five and eighteen seventy nine for Queen Victoria's third son, Prince Arthur. When the Ministry of Defense surrendered its lease in nineteen ninety six, the Crown Estate received two commercial proposals for the site, one for a conference center and another for a hotel.

Edward initially paid five thousand pounds a year for a fifty year term, a figure later rising to ninety thousand pounds after he contributed one point three six million pounds towards renovations.

2:54 A spokesperson for the campaign group Republic said there is absolutely no reason why Edward should be supplied with subsidized housing. These properties are state owned. They should not be in the gift of the monarch for their family. Most people have no idea who Edward is or what he does. Why is he getting any state subsidy. King Charles has contributed fifty thousand pounds of his own money towards repairs at Saint Peter and Saint Paul Parish Church in West Newton, a Norfolk church closely associated with the late Queen Elizabeth the Second. The donation, disclosed in the church's annual financial report, goes toward a two hundred thousand pound roof restoration project. The Grade TOO listed building, situated on the Sandringham estate, was known to be one of the Queen's preferred places of worship during her stays there. The King's support comes three years after his mother's death and follows significant efforts by the local community, which has already raised nearly seventy eight thousand pounds for the project. The workers included retiling the north slopes of the nave and chancel roofs, along with repairs to the organ loft and transsept roofs. In twenty twenty three, the church issued and appeal highlighting the urgency of the repairs. The notice read, Dear friends, after a recent inspection of the church, we have been informed that our church is an urgent need of repair, especially to the roof. It is expected the works will cost in the region of two hundred thousand pounds, a daunting amount that we are confident, with fundraising events and the help of our local and wider communities, we will be able to successfully raise these much needed funds.

I remember, as a child at Sandringham there was the most wonderful topiery garden Queen Alexandra, my great great grandmother, had established at the old dairy building. I can still remember being taken as a child being willed in my prayer even and it was so special these clipped animal shapes, peacocks birds. In twenty seventeen he assumed management of the estate and has since overseen the restoration of the historic gardens.

5:20 A Brazilian self styled psychic who has gained a following online for his supposed forecasts of major world events, has issued new warnings concerning the royal family. Athos Salome, known to his supporters as the Living Nostrodamis, suggested that a major event within the royal family, possibly tied to the health of a key member, would occur between the end of twenty twenty five and the start of twenty twenty six. He went on to say that the episode would prompt for Prince Harry a symbolic return to the UK in a fragile truce with King Charles and Princess Eugenie, but he added that Prince William, however, remains a fracture point. Looking further ahead, Salome's said full reconciliation will come from the next generation, William and Gate's children rebuilding tires with Archie and Lilibert, but that's still years away. There's too much entangled karma and this is not the time. Will that John McDermott, writer of the King William podcast series, know of this development for an upcoming season. The Living Nostradamis also predicted what he described as a growing conflict between the Duchess of Sussex and Netflix, claiming it would lead to logistical setbacks and the breakdown of partnerships, which is less of a Nostrodamus style prediction than a random Tuesday on this podcast, More palacy, just a moment. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor as set to leave Royal Lodge in twenty twenty six, with expectations that he will move into a property on the King's Sandringham estate. It has not yet

The estate has recorded cases of seasonal canine illness in past autumns, a rare condition that can cause vomiting, diarrhea and fatigue shortly after dogs walk in woodland areas.

Anne, who is seventy five, spent the afternoon speaking with guests, including Dorothea aged one hundred one, who served with the Wrens during the Second World War. Missus Baron told the Princess that she considers her the absolute prick of the Royal family, adding she's practical, she's down to earth, and she's a damned hard worker. Among those attending was Frank, aged one hundred six and believed to be the United Kingdom's oldest veteran.

She said she has met the princess on several occasions and noted that Anne always stops in chats. Missus Barnwell added, I think if anybody doesn't know what to do, join the forces.

Mike Tindall has dismissed speculation that he and his wife Zara Tindall might one day take part in Strictly Come Dancing, saying the couple of no intention of joining the popular BBC series. Responding to rumors that the pair were being considered for future seasons, the former England rugby player made his view unmistakably clear. Just say we can't do the Strictly Curse. We are not going on it.

9:12 We are not taking the risk. We are very happy, he said. The so called Strictly Curse refers to the show's history of offscreen romances developing between celebrities and their professional dance partners.
