Caloroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm welcome to Palace Intrigue Game

2
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.640
her host Mark Francis. Prince Andrew is said to be

3
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:22.320
unsurprised by Virginia Geoffrey's recent claims about a serious bus

4
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.280
crash in Australia, though friends of the Duke of York

5
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:29.239
insist the renewed attention has stirred sadness for him and

6
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:33.359
his family. Geoffrey, who previously accused Prince Andrew of sexually

7
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:36.799
abusing her when she was seventeen, allegations the Duke has

8
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:40.079
always vehemently denied, was involved in a crash with a

9
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.439
school bus near Perth last week. In a social media post,

10
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:45.960
she claimed to have only four days to live and

11
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:48.359
shared a photo of her bruised face, saying she had

12
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.479
suffered kidney failure. Police later confirmed that a forty one

13
00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:53.679
year old woman was involved in what they described as

14
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:56.920
a minor collision. No children on the bus, of which

15
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.399
there were twenty nine, were seriously hurt. Friend of the

16
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:02.600
Prince told The Daily Beast there is no sense of

17
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.640
satisfaction on the Duke's part at Geoffrey's disgrace. If anything,

18
00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.319
it has brought back the sadness. The entire family feel

19
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.159
that this woman, who he always maintained was a fantasist,

20
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.760
was allowed to ruin his life. The whole family are

21
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.280
completely unsurprised that her alarmist post turned out to be

22
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.400
a fabrication. Her family issued a statement following the crash, saying,

23
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.319
Virginia thanks everyone for the outpouring of love and support.

24
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.959
She is overwhelmed with gratitude. Today she remains in serious

25
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:34.079
condition while receiving medical care. Brad Edwards, a US lawyer

26
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.879
who previously represented as Geoffrey and remains close to her,

27
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:39.719
said earlier in the week, We're hoping for better news

28
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.480
in the coming days, describing it as a very bad

29
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:46.439
situation and expressing hope she would recover with good medical care.

30
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:50.439
In a rare public statement addressing a storm swirling around

31
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:54.599
one of his most personal philanthropic ventures, Prince Harry expressed

32
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.840
relief at the news that the Charity Commission will investigate

33
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:01.560
his embattled charity Center Bar, which has recently been at

34
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:05.480
the center of a spiraling public dispute. The regulator confirmed

35
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.400
it had opened a compliance case into the organization in

36
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:12.240
the wake of a dramatic series of resignations and allegations.

37
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.000
The watchdog will examine where the current and former trustees,

38
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:20.599
including Chair Sophie Chandalca, have fulfilled their duties and responsibilities

39
00:02:20.680 --> 00:02:25.240
under charity law. Harry released a joint statement with Prince Sizo, saying,

40
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:27.919
on behalf of the former trustees and patrons, we share

41
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.400
in the relief that the Charity Commission confirmed they will

42
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.319
be conducting a robust inquiry. We fully expect to will

43
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:37.639
unveil the truth that collectively forced us to resign. Miss Chandalca,

44
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.680
for her part, also welcomed the investigation, saying in the statement,

45
00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.960
we hope that together these actions will give the general public,

46
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:48.680
our colleagues, partners, supporters, donors, and the communities we serve comfort.

47
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:51.080
The Center BALI and its new board of trustees are

48
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:56.960
acting appropriately to demonstrate and insure good governance. Royal expert

49
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:00.759
Richard fitz Williams tells Fox News Digital he is obviously

50
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.960
obsessed with being the spare. Harry believes the institution, as

51
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.039
he calls the monarchy, had it in for him and

52
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.360
Megan Michael. The Palace, he believes, breathed against him his

53
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.520
accusation that Queen Camilla was particularly ruthless in this regard

54
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.800
was a red line for King Charles Royal. Author Ingrid

55
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.439
Seward told The Daily Mail that Harry has now made

56
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:22.199
a career out of being the spare. He chooses to

57
00:03:22.199 --> 00:03:24.840
be the victim and wreak vengeance on the slights he

58
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:27.400
thought he had suffered on his family, on the press

59
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.120
and through the courts. It's how Harry chose to see

60
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:34.280
himself in the Express. Carol Malone wonders if Harry even

61
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:37.240
truly knows Megan. Malone writes, can it really be the

62
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.639
case that the terminally petulant Prince Harry had helped torpedo

63
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.240
the charity set up in honor of his mother to

64
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.520
help Child Aids victims because the boss of it refused

65
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.360
to publicly defend Meghan. We've all now seen the video

66
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.120
of Megan appearing to force Doctor Chandalca to move away

67
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.560
from Harry during a photo opative charity polo match in Miami.

68
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.919
To do that, she had to awkwardly duck under a

69
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.159
trophy which was being presented after the match, which Netflix

70
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.439
were filming. It all looked horribly embarrassing. Doctor Chandalker's version

71
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:08.960
of events was that Megan crashed the match with no notice,

72
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.360
bringing her very famous friends to Reena Williams. It caused

73
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.479
chaos and you can only see why because it made

74
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.759
the whole thing about the Sussexes and not the charity

75
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.000
match or Center Bali. It was. After this, Harry is

76
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.680
alleged to have asked doctor Chandwcert to make a statement

77
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:25.959
supporting the Duchess. She says she refused because we cannot

78
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.040
be an extension of the Sussexes. That's dead right, and

79
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:31.600
why should she have to defend a woman if Meghan

80
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.000
did indeed shove her out of the photo. Whatever the truth,

81
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:37.040
the Sussexes have yet to learn that not everything is

82
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:40.160
about them. Center Bali is about raising money for children

83
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.199
orphaned by AIDS. It's not about promoting the Sussex brand,

84
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.399
and it's especially not about promoting Harry and Meghan's Netflix enterprises,

85
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.079
for which they've paid a fortune. Harry used to be

86
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.959
the most popular royal before Meghan. Not anymore. In fact,

87
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:55.879
when you think about it, everything Harry has lost or

88
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.319
has given up all boils down defending Meghan, and here

89
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.920
we are again, Harry allegedly insisting that his wife be

90
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:06.199
defended by the boss of the Center Bali charity. Harry

91
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:09.800
has reportedly seven times with his cousin Princess Eugenie, after

92
00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.399
she was seen having lunch with broadcast to Piers Morgan,

93
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.879
one of the most outspoken critics of the Duke and

94
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:18.639
Duchess of Sussex. Despite the wider family tensions following Harry

95
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.759
and Meghan's departure from royal duties in twenty twenty, Harry

96
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:25.240
has remained on good terms with Eugenie. However, according to

97
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:27.600
the Sun, that relationship has sowed in the wake of

98
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.920
the lunch with Morgan last April. A dim view was

99
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.120
taken of this, as Peers has clashed with Meghan and

100
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:36.519
Harry in the past. A friend told the newspaper, Eugenie

101
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.519
has been supportive of Harry and Meghan for years and

102
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.839
was right there at the beginning of their relationship, but

103
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.800
it has now soured. Peers has now confirmed the reports himself,

104
00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:49.040
claiming on Piers Morgan uncensored that Harry went completely ballistic

105
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.800
after seeing images of Eugenie with him. That was because

106
00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:54.040
of me. Morgan said she was having lunch with me

107
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:55.959
and a group of people and a bub in London

108
00:05:56.240 --> 00:05:58.480
and I was seen hugging them goodbye, and Harry saw

109
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.800
this and went completely belis I can confirm that is

110
00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:05.480
entirely true, because he couldn't bear it more palace in

111
00:06:05.519 --> 00:06:12.240
just a moment. Nearly five hundred potential stalkers have been

112
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.279
identified as posing a threat to the Royal family over

113
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.879
the past three years, with thirty five classified as high risk.

114
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:22.959
According to new figures from the Metropolitan Police's Fixated Threat

115
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.759
Assessment Center, the number of individuals considered most dangerous has

116
00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:29.439
risen from twenty four in the previous three year period,

117
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.319
while the total number of stalkers flagged by Royal Protection

118
00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:35.920
officers rose from four hundred thirty three to four hundred eighty.

119
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:38.839
Die Davies, form a head of Royal Protection at the

120
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.279
met warned Unfortunately, there will always be deranged people who

121
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.439
want to do harm to the Royal family. The difficult

122
00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.000
job for the police is determining which of them have

123
00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:50.079
the means and determination to go through with any plan.

124
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.000
It's not unknown that these people would be so obsessed

125
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:55.480
they have written to the object of their fixation and

126
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:58.519
revealed their own name and address. The Duchess of Sussex,

127
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.240
Megan Markel, has been the target of momultiple disgusting threats.

128
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:05.360
According to former Assistant Commissioner Neil Bazu, who previously confirmed

129
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:08.199
that many of those threats were credible, He said they

130
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.879
would have left Megan feeling under a threat all the time.

131
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.560
Aston Martin has officially joined the distinguished ranks of Royal

132
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.800
warrant holders, earning the right to display the coveted crest

133
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.160
of His Majesty the King, a fitting honour for a

134
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.879
mark long synonymous with British elegance, engineering and heritage. The

135
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.759
appointment follows the company's recognition with the King's Award for

136
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.759
Enterprise in twenty twenty four, marking a new chapter in

137
00:07:30.759 --> 00:07:32.920
a relationship with the royal family that stretches back more

138
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.160
than eighty years. The bond between Aston Martin and the

139
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.879
monarchy began in nineteen fifty four when Prince Philip, Duke

140
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.079
of Edinburgh, took delivery of a three liter Lagonda. A

141
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.800
year later, the Duke of Kent, cousin to Queen Elizabeth I,

142
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.839
acquired a dB two four from the very team that

143
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:52.079
had just triumphed in the Monte Carlo rally. But it

144
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:53.959
is King Charles who stands out as a brand's most

145
00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:57.560
enthusiastic royal admirer. A lifelong car enthusiast, the King has

146
00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:59.759
been a member of the Aston Martin Owners Club since

147
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.639
na teen seventy three and owns a personal collection that

148
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:06.000
includes a bespoke VI eight Advantage Volante and the stately

152
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:19.360
the most recognizable symbols of royal motoring. With this latest
