0:03 Calarougus Shark Media that low and welcome through Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. Kensington Palace has confirmed that Prince George will attend Eton College from September and in years of speculation about where the future king would continue his education, the announcement came just weeks before the end of the school year, but according to a Royal source, the decision itself was made much earlier. A source told The Daily Express, Prince George is really looking forward to going to Eton. They settled the decision in January, but mom and Dad wanted to wait a little longer before it was officially announced. William and Kate had reportedly considered more than one option for their eldest son. Eton, where William was educated, was understood to be competing with Marlborough College, the Wiltshire school attended by Kate, her sister Pepper, and brother James. According to the source, the decision involved more than simply choosing the right school for George. The decision wasn't just about George, the head defender in Charlotte and Law as well, but ultimately they wanted him to stay near the family. The Wales family moved to Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Estate in twenty twenty two, placing them with an easy reach of Eton. Keeping George close to home means he will remain a regular part of family life while beginning the next stage of his education. William was thrilled that his son wanted to follow in his footsteps.

1:20 The source said, he's incredibly proud now that Kensington Palace has confirmed a Prince George will attend Eton, Attention is turning to what life will actually look like for the future king once he arrives. Like his father, Prince William and uncle Prince Harry before him, George will be educated at the historic Berkshire School founded in fourteen forty, but modern Eaton offers far more than the traditional image of classrooms, uniforms and ancient buildings. According to the College, boys can choose from twenty eight academic subjects during their time at the school. Alongside core subjects such as English, mathematics, biology, chemistry and physics, students have access to an extensive range of options including ancient history, Latin Greek history of art, economics, government and politics, theology, geography, design, art, music, theater studies, and computer science languages play a particularly prominent role. Eton offers nine modern and classical languages, including French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Japanese, Mandarin, Arabic, and Greek. The school's philosophy places as much emphasis on curiosity and enjoyment as academic achievement.

2:25 Eaton says it wants students to develop a genuine love of learning rather than simply accumulating qualifications. The college explains it's crucial that boys enjoy their studies, thrive, and have fun, rather than leave feeling burnt out and disengaged. That doesn't mean standards are relaxed. The school also states examination results matter. We understand this and encourage all our boys to aspire to academic excellence. George's daily life will also be very different from what he has experienced at Lambrook School. Rather than relying heavily on parents and classroom teachers to oversee his studies, Eton is designed to encoura independence. Students are expected to manage their own schedules, organize their homework, and take increasing responsibility for their academic progress. It will be supervised by house masters and tutors, and will undergo regular assessments.

3:13 Throughout the year. New students also set an assessment shortly after arrival to determine whether any additional learning support may be required outside the classroom. Even off as one of the broadest extra curricular programs of any school in Britain, the college says students can participate in drama productions, military training, through the combined Cadet Force, volunteering programs, debating societies and dozens of specialist clubs. The sport remains a major part of life at the school, with twenty five sports available. Students can also take part in fifty music ensembles and choirs, while eighteen players are staged each year. More than three hundred society meetings are held annually, covering everything from politics and current affairs to niche hobbies and academic interests. One former student described the export by saying, to be at a school where I can have a choir practice in the morning, rugby training in the afternoon, followed by wallgame, a band practice and a society to a call in one day is something one will simply not be able to do later in life. Education consultant Melanie Sanderson believes the choice of Eaton was an obvious one for Prince George.

4:17 She told hello, Eton above all other schools, has a breadth that's really unparalleled. He will be rubbing shoulders with the children of the great and the good from all around the world. She also pointed to the school's strong links with the Church of England and suggested that would be important for a future monarch. William was confirmed at Eton, and I would expect George to go down the same path, she said. More palasin just a moment. Prince Harry's surprise appearance at Game five of the NBA Finals has sparked fresh commentary in the celebrity press, with one report claiming the Duke and Duchess of Sussex may have viewed the evening very differently. At the basketball game, the Duke was seated in the eighth row. According to Rob Shooters reporting, a source of li edged Meghan notices everything when it comes to image. To her, seating is status. It's not just about watching a game, it's about who sees you watching the game. The reports suggested Megan view the seating arrangement as a reflection of status, particularly when stars including Timothy Chalamey and Ben Stiller were seated nearer the court.

5:17 The source claimed, Meghan believes Harry is one of the most recognizable men in the world. When he's sitting behind celebrities instead of beside them, she sees it as a message. Meghan knows Prince William and Princess Kate would have been offered front row treatment. However, the report also cited as second source who suggested Harry's reaction could not have been more different. Harry loved the game and barely gave the seating a second thought. The insider reportedly said that's the difference between them. He sees a basketball game, Megan sees a brand. Harry and Meghan have welcomed the British government's plans to introduce new restrictions on social media use for children under sixteen, while arguing that further action is still needed from technology companies. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex release a statement after Prime Minister Sir Kia Stamer announced proposals that would ban under sixteens from social media platforms beginning next year. The measures are expected to become law before Christmas and could take effect by the spring. In a statement, Harry and Meghan said, we welcome the UK government's announcement of new measures to better protect children online.

6:16 The stories shared through the Lost Screen Memorial remind us that behind every debate about technology and regulation our real families whose lives have been forever changed. While measures such as these may help reduce harm, they do not fix the problem at its source. Lasting change requires safer platforms by design, meaningful accountability, and a commitment to putting children's well being ahead of engagement and profit. The burden cannot rest solely on parents, and children must also be borne by the companies. Until then, every day without meaningful change is another day the children remain exposed to preventable harm. Stronger protections are better than in action, and today's announcement is a welcome step forward. The new proposals would place responsibility on technology companies to enforce the restrictions, with firms potentially facing action if they failed to comply. After Australia introduced its own social media restrictions for under sixteens, the Sussexes praised what they called bold, decisive action, while similarly arguing that the legislation alone would not solve the wider problems posed by online platforms. Most recently, Meghan traveled to Geneva to participate in the launch of the Lost Screen Memorial, an initiative focused on raising awareness about the impact of harmful online content on young people and their families. Megan watchers were excited that she has another new product collaboration on the way for her lifestyle brand. As Ever, the Duchess used the brand's social media channels to tease what was described as a sweet collaboration. A short video showed strawberry jam being poured into a tumblt filled with ice before milk and matcha powder were added. While the video

7:49 itself offered few clues, the thumbnail appeared to reveal a partnership with Clever Blends, a wellness beverage company Megan has supported for several years. Clever Blends produces plant based coffee and tea products containing probiotics, adaptogens, and other wellness ingredients. Meghan became both an investor and advisor to the company after its launch, and they have it Hey.
