Prince Andrew and Ghislaine’s Alleged Alliance, Harry Cleared in Bullying Probe, and Meghan’s Rosé Sales Stall

0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas Intrigue I host Mark Francis. The new Royal biography, entitled The Rise and Fall of the House of York by author Andrew Lowney, paints a damning picture of the disgraced Duke of York, claiming Galain Maxwell launched a premeditated campaign to reshape Andrew's image following his departure from the Royal Navy in two thousand and one. The book, currently being serialized by The Mail on Sunday, suggests that Maxwell not only influenced Andrew's wardrobe and social calendar, but used him to pursue international business deals, including a tobacco agreement in Malawi and a car deal in Thailand. Lownie writes Andrew and Glaine were good friends and over the years had been occasional lovers, and through her, the Prince had come into the the ambit of her boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein. Cynthia Matthews, described as a friend of Maxwell's, is quoted as saying the two worked closely on foreign ventures. In two thousand Andrew and Maxwell were reportedly seen holding hands in Manhattan before flying to Miami with model Naomi Campbell aboard Epstein's infamous private jet, the Lowly to Express. The revelations are particularly explosive given Andrew's denial of wrongdoing in relation to Virginia Jeffrey, who accused him of sexual abuse while she was being trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell. Andrew has consistently denied the claims

1:34 and settled with Jeoffrey out of court without admitting liability. Prince Harry has been cleared of bullying and harassment allegations by the Charity Commission following a bruising public row at Center Balley, the organization he co founded in two thousand and six, but the regulator didn't mince words in its criticism of how the internal dispute was handled, blaming all parties, Harry included for letting a boardroom battle damage the charity's public standing. The dispute began earlier this year when five trustees and both founding patrons Prince Harry and Prince Ciso of Lesotho, resigned in protest over chairwoman doctor Sophie chan Dowker's leadership. In response, doctor Chandalca accused the group of bullying, harassment, misogyny and misogournoire allegations that sparked a Charity Commission investigation and widespread media coverage. After four months of review, the Commission found no evidence to support the claims of bullying or misconduct by the Duke of Sussex, nor have any overreach in his patron role. Still, the Commission criticized the charities overall governance, citing poor role definitions, weak internal policies, and an inability to settle disputes privately. These flaws, the regulator said, led to mass resignations, reputational damage and an erosion of public trust in the sector as a whole.

2:55 Prince Harry's office welcomed the findings but blasted the report for failing troublingly short, arguing that the fallout from the current's chair leadership would be felt not by her but by the vulnerable children in Lesotho and Botswana that the charity serves. In her own statement, Doctor Chandalka said the charity had emerged stronger and better governed despite what she described as an unexpected adverse media campaign launched by the resigning board members. The Commission has now issued a formal action plan directing Center Bali to clarify the role of patrons, overhaul complaints procedures, and better define its internal leadership structures. In the meantime, Prince Harry says he'll seek new ways to support the children the charity was originally established to help.

3:40 As his spokesperson put it, he's determined to honor the legacy he and Prince Cso began with the original mission of Center Bali firmly in mind. Megan Mikael has released the twenty twenty four vintage of her as ever NAPA Valley Rose, but unlike last year's launch, the wine isn't exactly flying off the shells. The Duchess of Sussex's latest Rose was still available several hours after going on sale, a noticeable contrast to the twenty twenty three vintage, which sold out in under an hour. The price remains unchanged thirty dollars per bottle, sold in sets of three, six or twelve. Despite the similar offerings, fans have pointed out the lack of urgency this time around. One x user noted went on sale seven hours ago and it's still on sale. Another quipped Megan Mikel has again shot herself in the foot in a social media post, a bottle was shown being poured into a branded glass, with the encaption we made so much more this round, and yet it's still going fast. Don't miss out. Meghan celebrated the launch with a video of herself and carking bottle number one raising a glass to what she called a beautiful day.

4:48 In a message accompanying the post, she wrote, here we go first bottle off the lion, toasting to a beautiful day. Our NAPA Rose is live at as ever official. The wine, described as though created by Megan Duchess of Sussex, comes in a sleek clear bottle with a white and gold label and has an ABV of thirteen point five percent, slightly lower than last year's vintage. The Dutchess Suprimacy let us all know how. She celebrated her birthday via Instagram. Meghan spent the evening at Los Angeles based restaurant funk Meg's. Shared a cake photo captioned blowing out the candles on a beautiful twenty four hours and thanking my husband, friends and family for making it so special. To those of you I don't know but who send love every day, thank you so much. Please know I feel it and appreciate it, followed by a redheart emoji. Royal commentator Hugo Vickers wonders how Meghan's year had done. Telling the sun as she looks back over the past year, I can imagine she's pretty depressed. She started off a lot of things and none of them have come to any great fruition.

5:48 Full marks to her for fully reinventing herself and coming up with a new idea, but it's not working very well. The media was all too kind to Catherine, Princess of Wales for interrupting her vacation as in yet another vacation, to unveil a new initiative from her Royal Foundation Center for Early Childhood, a series of seven animated educational videos designed to support young children's emotional and social development. Now Megan released animated videos, they would be mocked, but since they are attached to Princess Catherine, they are of course wonderful. Princess Catherine took time from her secret super yacht vacation or whatever she had William are doing this week to share via statement. Early childhood is recognized as a golden opportunity to build strong foundations for a healthy and happy Future Life. The Center for Early Childhood's new animated films show how adults can create caring and loving interactions with children, helping to foster their social and emotional development from their earliest years. One can only imagine how much time she took from her vacation to either craft those two sentences or to approve the sentences written by a staffer. The statement was accompanied by some never seen before photos, giving it all the suggestion that Kate had made an appearance.

6:57 But this was a little hocus pocos during Bacas time. The animated series, now available on YouTube, has been made accessible in English, Welsh and British sign language and aim to provide early years professionals with practical tools and fresh perspectives, such as how to tune into a child's emotional cues, help them navigate their feelings and adjust to each child's individual learning pace. So basically the kind of thing Megan would get ripped for more palace in just a moment. Ay, Are you into aliens, conspiracy theories, things that just don't make sense?

Among these stories overshadowed by the Prince Andrew Book was the engagement of Peter Phillips to Harriet Spurling.

7:53 A statement issued on their behalf by Gerard Franklin confirmed Mister Peter Phillips, the son of Hr h the Princess Royal and Captain Mark Phillips, and Miss Harriet Spurling, the daughter of the late Mister Rupert Sanders, and Missus Mary Sanders of Gloucestershire, have today converned their official engagement. Her families were informed jointly of the announcements and were delighted with the wonderful news. Their majesties, the King and Queen and Princess of Wales, have been informed of the announcement. No date has beneficially set for the wedding. In the engagement photos, Harriet looked radiant in a frill white ensemble, her rings sparkling as she smiled at her fiancee. Peter kept it relaxed and a plaid should, the pair standing close and clearly at ease with one another. Harriet and NHS pediatric nurse, has won public admiration over recent months for her polished style and understated grace and high profile events like Royal Ascott and Wimbledon. She's also been praised for her ease with royal protocol, including a widely viewed moment of her perfectly executed curtsey. Hello Royal editor Emily Nash noted this is wonderful news for Peter and Harriet, but also the wider Royal family. Peter is close to the King and to his cousins, and Harriet seems to have been warmly welcomed into the fold. A stress point for the couple could be the invitation list. Do you invite cousin William and cousin Harriet? The obvious circus that comes with all that, the reunion of the brothers, does megan come? And obviously you should probably invite the next king, which could leave Harry out in the cold, which is a story in itself. Hello Magazine's Royal correspondent Daniel Stacey says Peter has been viewed as a supportive order brother

9:25 figure to Prince William, and the peer have held a close relationship since childhood. Peter previously said of his cousins that there was quite a gang of us and they caused quite a bit of mayhem and chaos, and there you have it.
