0:00 Ah Calorogus Shark Media, Hello and welcome through Pallace injury Agay, I'm your host Mark for Answers. Prince Harry is reportedly hoping his recent contact with King Charles could lead to another family reunion at Christmas. Radar Online claims Harry is already considering a return to Britain for the holidays and would like Meghan, Prince Archie, and Princess Lilibet to join him. According to one source quoted by the outlet, Harry always gets very homesick at that time of year. He misses being a part of all their traditions, and he would love Archie and Lilabert to experience a proper Royal Christmas.

0:43 The outlet's source claims Harry is aware that another visit could create tension with his brother, but is prepared to proceed regardless. The insiders said, if he wants to be nasty about it and turn into some sort of ugly confrontation, Harry can't stop him, but he's not going to let William dictate the terms of when he children spend time with their grandfather. Royal commentator Hillary Fordage also offered her assessment of William's position. Telling Radar, William is furious at everything that Harry did to throw the family under the bus. It's emotional blackmail what Harry is doing with his children's grandfather, and without a doubt, William feels the same way. According to another insider, Harry is determined not to let this visit pa one off and obviously the King's diary has to be arranged well in advance, so he's already started speaking to his father about when they should meet next.

1:31 As far as he's concerned, if Charles wants him there, that's all the encouragement he needs to keep moving forward. If it sends William into a meltdown, so it be is not going to be bullied. Meghan Mirkles's decision to share photographs from the Sussex family's recent visit to Britain is prompting another debate about just how much she wants to reconnect with the Royal family. Former BBC Royal correspondent Jenny Bond believes Megan wants to make sure the children's place within the Royal family is not forgotten. Bond told The Mirror she wants the world to remember that her children are part of the royal family. I think she's proud of her connection to the firm, hence her continued use of her title of Duchess and their decision to use the children's titles. Bond also described Meghan's decision to release photographs from the visitors strange, given Harry and Meghan's long standing concerns about maintaining privacy for their children. Royal commentator Robert Jobson says the continuing drama surrounding Harry and Meghan risks overshadowing King Charles's more serious constitutional role, arguing that the monarchy has been turned into a circus. Speaking with Kinsey Schofield on Royally Unfiltered, Johnson's complaint is it made it all so trivial. It's a very important political and powerful role and has just been turned into a circus by Harry and Meghan and for their own benefit.

2:48 Royal commentator Angela Levin has launched another attack on Meghan Markel, claiming the Duchess of Sussex only thinks about herself and sees herself as an icon. Writing for News twenty four, Levin discussed reports about Harry and Meghan's a recent visit to Britain. According to a source quoted by the National Examiner, Meghan came away from the visit unhappy with how the Sussexes were received and felt that she and Harry had been treated like a pair of outsiders. Levin's response was unsympathetic. It wasn't polite, but in reality, she and Harry are just that. Levin said, Meghan doesn't feel special among the royal family, and if she hasn't enjoyed a meeting royal or ordinary, she likes to get her own back, such as her forty fifth birthday celebration, when she danced around her California kitchen and pajama trous as a teacher with a slogan it's giving messes in a placid tiara in her hair. Levin also criticized Meghan's approach to how other people address her. Sharing her column on social media, Levin claimed Meghan deliberately uses different forms of address, including ma'am and meg, in a way that leaves people uncertain about what they should call her. Levin wrote that Megan seems to choose words about herself like ma'am or meg to make people feel disturbed because as she gets cold, if they say the wrong word cunning to keep them under control.

4:05 Levin suggested that regardless of the criticism, Megan can at least console herself with the fact that people continue talking about her. Duchess Sophie has taken on a new royal role that puts her work surprisingly close to one of Prince Harry's biggest causes. The Duchess of Edinburgh has been named patron of the Armed Forces Paris Snowboard Team known as AFPST. The organization helps wounded, injured and sick military personnel and veterans recover through adaptive snow sports, including alpine skiing, Nordic skiing and snowboarding. That mission closely overlaps with Prince Harry's work through the Invictors Games, which also uses adaptive sport to support wounded and injured members of the military community.

4:45 Marie Claire suggests Sophie's new patronage could potentially put her in a position to attend a future Invictor's Winter event, although there has been no announcement of any collaboration between Sophie and Harry. With the next Invictor's Games coming to Britain in twenty twenty seven, it gives real Watches one more reason to wonder whether the paths could eventually cross. More Pallas in just a moment, Meghan and Harry's rescue beagle as getting some attention of her own. Four years after the Sussexes adopted her from a breeding facility connected to the animal testing industry, The Beagle Freedom Project has released a new video telling the story of Mama Mia, better known as Mia, who was rescued when the Invigo breeding facility was shut down in twenty twenty two. The organization said, this is Mama Mia. She was rescued from the animal testing industry when the Invigo breeding facility was shut down in twenty twenty two. Mia had been used for breeding and was raising a litter of puppies when Meghan learned about her. The organization said, Meghan personally called bfp's founder and president, Shannon Keith, expressing interest in adopting Mama Mia. Harry and Meghan subsequently visited the organization and spent time with Mia and her puppies before deciding to take the mother home with them. Keith previously told The La Times the Duchess is holding Mia and was like, we're adopting her, Keith said, Megan told her no, we don't want a Christmas bubby, we want ones we can help who are older. According to Keith, Harry stopped everyone as they were preparing to leave because he realized me

6:17 and might have something familiar she wanted to bring with her. Keith recalled Harry, saying, well, she can't leave yet because there's something in that backhouse she needs. Did she have a favorite toy or something. The volunteers searched through a collection of toys and eventually located me as favorite, a stuffed fox that had traveled with her from the Virginia breeding facility. Once they found it, Keith recalled Harry, saying, okay, now we can go home. In another royal news, Prince Emmanuel or Belgium had spent the past year quietly building a second identity that has almost nothing to do with royal life. The twenty year old son of King Philippe and Queen Matilda has now launched a solo electronic music project under the name Vintrix, complete with his own branding, promotional photos, and a debut single titled Wonder. In introducing the project, Emmanuel wrote, Vindrix is me and my world but it could be your world too. I make techno tech house and house. That represents a noticeable shift from the message coming from the Belgian Palace. Just a year ago, during a state visit to Chile, Queen Matilde was asked about her son's interest in music and described it simply as a leisure activity among friends. Emmanuel is the third child of Belgium's reigning monarch and currently sits third in line of succession. His older sister, Princess Elizabeth, is the heir to the throne and recently completed a master's degree at Harvard's Kennedy School after studying at Oxford and Belgium's Royal Military Academy. The older brother, Prince Gabriel, is pursuing a military career that leaves a Manuel with considerably more

7:50 freedom to explore life outside traditional royal duties. Emmanuel is entering a highly competitive industry where his royal title me attracted attention but won't get guarantee long term success. Being known as the DJ Princess likely to bring both opportunities in extra scrutiny. And there you have it. If you'd like to email us addresses the palace intrigue at gmail dot com.
