00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:12.640
Ah Caalarouga Shark Media. Hello and welcome through Pallace Intrigue.

2
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:16.280
I am your host. Francis Harry is now on the

3
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:19.760
UK portion of his travels. Megan has not joined him.

4
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:22.199
In case you were wondering if Hell had frozen over,

5
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:25.800
King Charles and Queen Camilla are in Scotland to mark

6
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:29.199
the twenty fifth anniversary and likely will not be back

7
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:33.439
in London. Prince William is very very very busy doing

8
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.679
royal stuff and won't be able to meet with his brother.

9
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.640
Prince Harry's upcoming polo documentary for Netflix, once expected to

10
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:44.439
be a major vehicle for the Prince, seems to have

11
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.240
taken a surprising turn. Rather than focusing on Harry himself,

12
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:52.280
the film, now being dubbed The Nacho Show, will prominently

13
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.159
feature his close friend and Argentine polo star Nacho for Gerris.

14
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.759
While Nacho has long been a darling of the polo scene,

15
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.320
the decision to place him at the center of this

16
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:07.840
project has reportedly left Netflix disappointed, after all viewers tuning

17
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:10.280
into a film by Harry were expecting to see the

18
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.120
Duke of Sussex in the spotlight, not his mate. In

19
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.040
typical Netflix fashion insiders are already labeling this as a

20
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.439
missed opportunity. With the streaming giants deal with the Sussexes

21
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:25.200
said to expire next year, Harry and Meghan could really

22
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.000
use a hit. However, polo isn't exactly a mainstream sport

23
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.040
and figueris, though charming, may not be the draw Netflix

24
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.359
was hoping for. As one insider put it, nice of

25
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.000
Harry to do his mate of favor, but Nacho speaks

26
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.480
broken English and is just not mainstream enough to pull

27
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.560
in the ratings. Prince Harry wants to do more things

28
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.719
in the UK, but three major obstacles stand in his way.

29
00:01:50.959 --> 00:01:54.920
According to Royal author Robert Jobson, these hurdles are Prince William,

30
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.519
Queen Camilla, and the financial strain of funding his lifestyle

31
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:02.359
and security jobs. And told the Son the reality is

32
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:05.799
that was the package he put together before Mexitt. That's

33
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.879
exactly what he wanted to do. Private things that he's

34
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.240
doing making money, plus the things that he wants to

35
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.199
do over here. A lot of the whispers in the

36
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.520
corridor is that they still worry about what happens when

37
00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.240
the money runs out. Well, he made an awful lot

38
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.599
of money from his book Spare, So maybe that's a

39
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:24.039
while away. Yet you've still got two main issues here,

40
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.319
Camilla and Prince William that really have not made up.

41
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.240
When you've got if you liked his praetorian guard of

42
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.159
William and Camilla at odds with Harry, is going to

43
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.439
be more difficult for that to happen. The fact is

44
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.039
Harry believes that when he brings his wife with him,

45
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:41.560
she will not be afforded the protection that he fills

46
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.680
as necessary. The reality is he doesn't believe that is

47
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:46.719
what he's going to get and that's why he's taking

48
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.919
the court case. A legal representative for Harry previously said

49
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.479
Prince Harry inherited a security risk at birth for life.

50
00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:58.599
While his role within the institution has changed, his profile

51
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.919
as a member of the royal family has not, nor

52
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.000
has the threat to him and his family. They emphasized

53
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.879
that while Harry and Meghan fund a private security team,

54
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:11.039
it cannot replicate the necessary police protection needed. Whilst in

55
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:15.800
the UK, speaking of security, Prince William quietly visited the

56
00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:20.319
British Secret Intelligence Service six, a detail reviewed only through

57
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.919
the official Court circular. The entry simply noted the Prince

58
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:28.199
of Wales this afternoon visited the Secret Intelligence Service without

59
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:33.039
further information on location or details. This visit highlights William's

60
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.840
continued engagement with the UK's intelligence services, a connection that

61
00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:39.319
runs deep within the royal family, as both the late

62
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.960
Queen Elizabeth the Second and King Charles have also visited

63
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.360
these agencies in the past. Prince William has previously spent

64
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:50.080
time working with six, MI five and GHQ, the UK's

65
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:54.159
three main intelligence services. In twenty nineteen, he completed a

66
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:58.639
three week stint at each agency, gaining insight into their operations.

67
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:02.240
During his time at William worked with spies and handlers

68
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:06.840
tasked with foreign intelligence gathering, crucial to the UK's national security.

69
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.240
His experience with MI five involved understanding counter terrorism efforts

70
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:14.479
within the UK, and his weak at GHQ and Cheltland

71
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.720
focused on the use of cutting edge technology to detect

72
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:22.120
and disrupt threats. Reflecting on his experience, Prince William described

73
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.360
it as a truly humbling journey. He praised the intelligence

74
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.639
community for their dedication to protecting the country, Often working

75
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:32.079
in secret and unable to share their experiences with even

76
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.560
their closest friends of family. William expressed deep gratitude for

77
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.160
their work, recognizing the vital role these unsung heroes play

78
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:46.079
in safeguarding national security. Pelacentric will be Right Back. A

79
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:49.079
life sized bronze sculpture of Queen Elizabeth II has been

80
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:52.959
unveiled in Riverside Park, Andover, Hampshire, marking the first of

81
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:57.439
two statues commissioned by test Valley Borough Council to celebrate

82
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:01.360
her Platinum jubilee in twenty twenty two. Sculptor Amy Goodman

83
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:04.480
created the statue, aimed to capture the late Queen's warmth

84
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:08.079
and humility. The statue shows that monarch in her later years,

85
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.000
smiling and wearing a robe adorned with community inspired artwork,

86
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.720
drawing on memories from local groups and schools. Miss Goodman

87
00:05:15.800 --> 00:05:20.360
expressed her honor in sculpting Queen Elizabeth the emphasizing Miss

88
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.920

89
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:27.319
radiant smile that defined the Queen's warmth. The artwork on

90
00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:30.800
the Queen's robe, contributed by the Andover community, is now

and Danny Boyle's Train Spotting the top British film. The

120
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.639
end of World War Two was deemed the most important

121
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:21.199
global moment of the last nine decades. Travis Kelsey isn't

122
00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.319
just winning on the football field, but also when life,

123
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:27.360
as evidenced by his surreal summer experience meeting the British Royals.

124
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.439
According to his mum, Donna Kelcey, the Kansas City Chief

125
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.040
star shared that rubbing shoulders with Prince William, Princess Charlotte

126
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:37.040
and Prince George at Taylor Swift's Eras concert in London

127
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.920
was one of the coolest things. Donna spilled the tea

128
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.839
on Kelsey's reaction, revealing that he felt slightly out of

129
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.120
place in such elite company. He jokingly told her, you

130
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.000
just look around and think, why am I here? I

131
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.360
don't belong in this room. But it sounds like the

132
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:52.519
tight end held his own just fine, with his mum

133
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:56.399
proudly saying he's a pretty friendly guy, handling the Royal

134
00:07:56.480 --> 00:08:00.600
meeting like pro Travis himself later recounted the on his

135
00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:04.160
New Heights podcast, praising William is the coolest mother raffer

136
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:07.879
and gushing over how delightful the Royal family was. He

137
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:11.680
even admitted to being unsure of the proper protocol. Was

138
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.199
I supposed to bow Courtsey or just be the American

139
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:18.319
idiot and shake their hand and they have it? Try
