00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.199
Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intry a game.
2
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:14.640
I'm your host mark for Ancis. Despite Harry's public desire
3
00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:18.760
for privacy, sometimes the leaks come from within the house.
4
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:22.079
Now we've seen part of Archie and Lilobt's letter to
5
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:26.039
Santa thanks to a leak from Mom. In the trailer
6
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:30.280
for upcoming Netflix holiday special with Love Megan Holiday Celebration,
7
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.079
we see the Duchess of Sussex moving through a series
8
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.439
of festive scenes, from trimming trees to setting out snacks
9
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:40.479
for Santa, and includes a mug decorated in her signature calligraphy.
10
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:44.359
The children's message addressed to Santa is only partially visible,
11
00:00:44.679 --> 00:00:48.200
showing the phrases have been good and travel safely and
12
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:52.920
assigned Exo Archie and Lil. The names appear again on
13
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.920
Personalized Advent Calendar's Megan prepares during the footage. Megan also
14
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:00.719
reflects on her approach to hosting in the trailer, saying,
15
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:03.840
being a hostess or a host, it's about making people
16
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:08.159
feel comfortable. Speaking to people earlier this year about having
17
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.680
her family visit the set, she said Archie did the
18
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.120
filming clapboard, sweet moments I'd love that my children were
19
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.640
able to watch me working and see the balance of
20
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.239
that and understand what mamma does and is working to
21
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.519
create and share. You may recall Harry once lived as
22
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:25.079
a prince in the UK and gave it all up
23
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.280
to get away from the press so he could protect
24
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.280
his family. The short clip posted to her Instagram shows
25
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:33.719
the Duke and Duchess of Sussex kissing in the kitchen
26
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:36.719
as Megan talks viewers through her approach to Christmas and
27
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:39.840
the trailer, the Duchess says, I love the holiday season.
28
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.560
It's about finding time to connect with people we love,
29
00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:46.879
embracing traditions and making new ones. Let the festivities commence
30
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.480
and embrace the special touches that bring you joy. Megan
31
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:55.040
is seeing preparing easy and elegant crafts, chopping ingredients, mixing
32
00:01:55.079 --> 00:02:00.000
cocktails and carefully placing decorated Christmas biscuits. Later, she explained
33
00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:02.280
being a hostess or a host is about making people
34
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.439
feel comfortable, adding you can do things that make people
35
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.960
feel seen. Body language expert Judy James said it's Harry's
36
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.879
cameo appearance that might create the discomfort. Here, he is
37
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:18.120
seen standing front onto camera, looking like a very self
38
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.080
conscious fish out of water as he holds a small
39
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.080
bowl aloft and too high for comfort as he mixes
40
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:27.840
whatever small doll up he has incided. James went on
41
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:30.199
to ask whether Harry had been invited to stir the
42
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.840
pudding at last, having missed out on the four generational
43
00:02:33.919 --> 00:02:37.280
Royal pudding stirring event that his brother appeared on, adding,
44
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:42.080
if so, this looks like a very censorious portion sized version.
45
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.080
She was referring to the twenty nineteen Christmas pudding making
46
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.439
moment involving the late Queen King Charles, Prince William and
47
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.400
Prince George, an event Harry did not attend shortly before
48
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:57.840
stepping back from Royal Life. Nice digby Judy there. The
49
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.039
trailer was released hours after the latest as Ever newsletter
50
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.639
came out. In it, they talked turkey. When dreaming up
51
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.479
the holiday collection months ago, Meghan imagined what it would
52
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.759
taste like to have a sage honey drizzled on her
53
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:15.759
Thanksgiving turkey and TOADA. Here we are stunning sage honey,
54
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.800
aromatic and earthy, epicurean in its depth of flavor and
55
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.840
elegant simplicity, inspired by the treats she enjoys at her
56
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.159
home with her family. In The Daily Beast, Tom Sakes
57
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:32.159
suggests Meghan Markle's frantic insistence on the title of Duchess
58
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.360
as an attempt to imprint her family's royal connections on
59
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:40.599
the public before their inevitable removal. The Harper's bizarre interview
60
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:43.199
with Meghan was meant to be a triumphant finger aimed
61
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:46.159
at the British Royals, released on the very day that
62
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:50.840
Prince William and Princess Catherine signified their increased responsibility by
63
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.719
attending the Royal Variety performance. This clear attempt to overshadow
64
00:03:54.759 --> 00:03:59.080
them was Meghan's most extraordinary own goal. Yet the world
65
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.759
ignored the tedious gold Boss platitudes and instead reveled in
66
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.360
her insistence that everyone around her use her full royal title,
67
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.919
even in situations where it made no sense. Meghan belatedly
68
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.400
appears to have woken up to the direction of travel.
69
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.040
Before Andrew, the argument was that divine right meant that
70
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.959
royal titles could never be taken away. Post Andrew, the
71
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:23.600
question has become why should all these other people keep
72
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.920
their titles? Meghan's strategy is to use the titles more
73
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:31.160
not less across the private, commercial and pr planes of
74
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:34.720
her existence to try and imprint them on the public mind.
75
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.040
The same applies to her use of the surname Sussex.
76
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.000
The British public is clamoring for a reckoning and for
77
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:46.079
titles to be removed from all Sussex'es and Yorkes. If
78
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.360
King Charles the Third really wanted to shift the desperate
79
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.079
polling for the monarchy and the appalling state of his
80
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.199
legacy as it currently stands, he would man up and
81
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:58.079
do the job for William More Palace. In just a moment,
82
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.839
Heatwold suggested the Sussexes cross the one person in Hollywood
83
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.399
who nobody messes with the issue the recent picture gate
84
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:15.319
involving Chris Jenna. In an article, Heatwold shared, we're told
85
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.120
the way Chris sees it. Harry and Meghan. They've asked
86
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.199
for and received her advice and connections. Here she was
87
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.079
inviting them past the velvet rope of oz and she
88
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.879
felt that they repaid her by acting as though they
89
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.079
are too good to be seen partying with her. Chris
90
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:33.120
and Kim now have egg on their faces and better
91
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:36.519
believe they're fuming asking for permission to share photos as
92
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.800
done as a courtesy, but Chris certainly wasn't expecting anyone
93
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.240
to say no, and certainly not Megan than Harry. We're
94
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.040
hearing that, despite the caliber of guests at the bash
95
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.240
Chris fills them, the former Royals still see themselves as
96
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:53.839
somewhat superior to the grafters of Tinseltown, and now we're
97
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:56.000
told that their request for the candid snaps to be
98
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:59.240
taken down as something Chris cannot let slide as she
99
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:02.279
plans to can the duo from Hollywood. To her, it
100
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.759
says everything she needs to know about them the inside.
101
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.920
It says She's had plenty of people use her connections
102
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.680
in her lifetime. Many more have tried, but she's at
103
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:13.839
a point where that doesn't really happen anymore because as
104
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.639
soon as she spots it, she cuts the relationship off.
105
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.160
And that's all of her influential friends know. So Harry
106
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:23.079
and Meghan should take note of that. Chris and Kim
107
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:25.360
have heard all the rumors about the Sussex's being tricky
108
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.279
and prone to deva behavior, but this incident caught them
109
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:30.759
totally off guard, and the more they reflect on it,
110
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:33.639
the worse it's sitting with them. It's a massive slap
111
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.959
in the face and one that Chris cannot let slide.
112
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:40.800
Wild adds to make matters worse, with photographers from within
113
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:46.040
the velvet draped casino, complete with crystal chandeliers, personalized poker
114
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:50.040
chips and Martini's have dominated headlines. There's no doubt that
115
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:53.399
the Sussex scandal has overshadowed what the Kardashians had hoped
116
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.399
would be the party of the year the inside. He continued,
117
00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:59.959
it's just so insulting and ungracious from Chris's point of view.
118
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.519
The way it comes across, rightly or wrongly, is that
119
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:06.759
the Sussexes consider themselves superior to the Kardashians, and they
120
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:09.399
felt embarrassed to be seen with them. That's left a
121
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.600
very bad taste in everyone's mouth, and it's hard to
122
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.439
see how Megan or Harry can salvage the friendship moving forward.
123
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:20.319
An opposing view, rooting fourteen Sussex, suggested, as usual, the
124
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.480
fault lines with Harry's family. If it wasn't for their
125
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.199
constant judgment and criticism, Meghan and Harry wouldn't have to
126
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.480
guard their privacy the way they do. Apparently, Megan and
127
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.399
Harry are saying they were asked if they wanted their
128
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.279
photos shared publicly, and they said no because they knew
129
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:38.519
it would be frowned upon by his family. Meghan is
130
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:41.360
distraught as she respects Chris, but she's not giving up hope.
131
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:43.680
She has already sent an apology letter and will no
132
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.240
doubt be mailing holiday gift packages and other peace offerings
133
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.240
to find her way back into the Kardashian's good books.
134
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:54.639
She's hopeful it'll all blow over water under the bridge
135
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:56.959
soon enough. When you cross this family, that tends to
136
00:07:56.959 --> 00:07:59.240
be no way back, and the likelihood is that they'll
137
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:02.680
be giving Harry and Megan an extremely wide birth moving forward.
138
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.639
Megan's not giving up, but right now it's a nightmare
139
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:08.480
as far as their social prospects go, and it's likely
140
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:10.759
to cost them a lot of money too. She really
141
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:13.839
didn't mean to upset Chris and just wants the friendship back.
142
00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:17.720
We asked out Royal inside a Deep Crown about this.
143
00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:20.639
Usually isn't very interested in the Sussen's gossip, but we
144
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:24.120
did get a reaction from him. One has to marvel
145
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.879
at the extraordinary naivete, or perhaps it's calculated audacity of
146
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:32.240
imagining that an event hosted by Chris Jannon would somehow
147
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:36.159
qualify as an intimate camera shy affair. The woman has
148
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:40.120
built an empire on the strategic deployment of imagery. Did
149
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:44.639
they suppose these photographers were there for mister bezos private scrapbook?
150
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:49.360
The fundamental miscalculation here reveals a pattern we've observed from Montecito,
151
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:53.360
a persistent desire to move freely within certain circles while
152
00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:58.679
simultaneously maintaining an arm's length disdain for the very currency
153
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:03.240
those circles trade in publicity. One cannot have it both ways.
154
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.159
The Kardashians understand this implicitly. They've made peace with the
155
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.919
transactional nature of modern celebrity. The Sussexes, it appears, still
156
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.799
labor under the impression that they occupy some rarefied middle
157
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:20.159
ground between royalty and Hollywood, entitled to the benefits of both,
158
00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:24.559
whilst bound by the obligations of neither. There may had
159
00:09:24.559 --> 00:09:27.879
been an olive branch, however, as Chris Jenner reposted two
160
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:31.519
clips that Megan released the trailer for her Netflix Christmas
161
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:35.600
special and her new Harper's Bizarre cover, signaling that any
162
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:39.799
speculation of tension between the pair has now eased or not,
163
00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.679
and there amn't. If you'd like to email us addresses
