Prince Harry & Meghan Markle avoid paparazzi by sitting Front-Row at the World Series

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle avoid paparazzi by sitting Front-Row at the World Series

Harry and Meghan, who left the UK for privacy, turned up in the front row at Dodger Stadium for Game Four — cue caps, cameras, and a 6–1 loss for L.A.

Meghan’s pumpkin-patch reel vanished amid privacy concerns after viewers spotted the children in the background, reigniting chatter about longtime confidant Markus Anderson.

OK! reports Meghan is prepared to “go it alone” with As Ever, while a flurry of briefings says Prince William plans to formally strip Prince Andrew of the Duke of York title when he becomes king, with claims he’s pushing a broader slim-down of royal titles and even leaning on Beatrice and Eugenie to help move their father from Royal Lodge.

One cheeky new review advises us to “Be Kind” (one star), and Windsor watchers note Andrew’s Garter banner has now been removed from St George’s Chapel.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.199
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I

2
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.599
am your lost Mark Francis, Harry and Meghan avoided the

3
00:00:13.640 --> 00:00:16.920
paparazzi by sitting in the front row of the World Series.

4
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:20.559
The fruit Jam saleswoman and her husband made a surprise

5
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:23.640
appearance at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night, joining the crowd

6
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:27.600
for Game four between the La Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays.

7
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.320
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex was spotted sitting front

8
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:34.399
row just ahead of Dodger's legend Sandy Kofax, cheering on

9
00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:38.119
Meghan's hometown team. Megan showed her support in an oversized

10
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:42.399
white button down, dark trousers and her signature blue Dodgers cap,

11
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.119
once she's been seen in many times before. Harry coordinated

12
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.880
in a black blaze and white T shirt and dark trousers,

13
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:51.399
eventually donning his own Dodgers had as the game got

14
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.399
under weigh. Although some fans booed when the Sussexes we

15
00:00:54.399 --> 00:00:56.840
was shown on the big screen, the couple appeared relaxed

16
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.840
as they watched the matchup, which ended in disappointment for

17
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.600
local fans as the Dodgers fell to Toronto six to one

18
00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:07.680
time series. Other familiar faces in the crowd included James Marsden,

19
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.760
Austin Butler, and Sidney Sweeney. While this marked Harry's first

20
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.000
World Series appearance, it wasn't his first taste of Major

21
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.760
League Baseball. The couple previously attended the twenty nineteen London

22
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.920
Series between the Red Sox and Yankees, the league's first

23
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:27.159
ever regular season game played in Europe. We've discussed how.

24
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.560
On Sunday, Megan posted a short series of videos from

25
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:32.400
a local pumpkin patch, showing Archie and Lilibit enjoying the

26
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:37.560
outing alongside their grandmother Doria Ragland and family friend Marcus Anderson.

27
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.000
The clips also included a time lapse of Prince Harry

28
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:44.760
carving a pumpkin at home in Montecito, but within hours

29
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:49.400
the video disappeared from Meghan's Instagram feed. The reason for

30
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.239
the quick deletion appears to be privacy. In the background

31
00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:55.680
of Harry's carving session, the couple's children could be seen

32
00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.959
running around, blurry and distant, but visible enough of followers

33
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.719
to recognize their faces. For a family that has closely

34
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.799
guarded its children's privacy since stepping back from Royal Life,

35
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.520
the moment was unusual. By the time the post was

36
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.000
taken down, screenshots had already spread on x and TikTok,

37
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.520
prompting commentary from Royal watchers and tabloids alike. The Royalist

38
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:20.599
sub Stack reported that the Sussex communications team moved at

39
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.520
lightning speed to remove the footage, calling it an extraordinary

40
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.479
lapse for a couple so protective of their children's images.

41
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.719
An unnamed publicist told The Royalist, it's all a bit

42
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:36.199
too convenient. The clip gets attention, the Internet explodes, and

43
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:40.319
suddenly Meghan's brand rolled out has on everyone's radar. Cynical

44
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:43.800
marketing aside, the clip does have people asking about Marcus

45
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.599
Anderson the way he always seems to be around. In June,

46
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.520
Hello magazine reported on the Sussex's visit to Disneyland. They wrote,

47
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.000
Meghan's longtime confidant, Marcus Anderson is believed to be the

48
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.960
man seen with the couple as they toured the Californian

49
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.319
theme park. He appeared in VERYUS photos wearing a light

50
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:04.120
blue shirt, jeans, in a cap, and in the images,

51
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:08.439
Meghan used a heart emogi to obscure his face. In

52
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:10.960
March twenty twenty four, the US son published a column

53
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:14.800
under The Royal Fox which reads it. Has also said

54
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.599
he introduced Meghan to some of her best friends, including

55
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.439
Amal and George Clooney and her reported stylists Jessica mulroney.

56
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.439
The Powers both had a reasonably normal upbringing in comparison

57
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.879
to their A list friends. It's not clear how the

58
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:32.439
duo met, but they are frequently seen traveling together. In

59
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.840
twenty eighteen, they jetted off to Madrid together for a

60
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:39.360
getaway with friend and fashion designer Mischa Nonu. They've also

61
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.120
traveled to New York together and been pictured all over

62
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:47.520
town in Toronto in arm la dot COM's October fourth

63
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:51.240
recap of Meghan's appearance at the Paris Fashions show mentions.

64
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:54.719
Also present at the show was her close friend Marcus Anderson,

65
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.159
the businessman who once played a key role in Meghan

66
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.960
and Harry's romance, as he was the one who introduced

67
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.800
to them. A source tells Okay magazine, Megan would love

68
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.800
for Harry to be involved in whatever she's doing, but

69
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.159
that's not how it played out, so this is something

70
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.199
she'll have to do by herself. She's prepared to go

71
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.199
at it alone and will stop at nothing to make

72
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.920
a success of as ever moving on, Prince William is

73
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:22.040
reportedly deeply unhappy that Prince Andrew has technically retained his

74
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:25.360
title of Duke of York despite no longer using it publicly,

75
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:28.279
and is expected to formally strip him of it once

76
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:32.439
he ascends the throne. According to The Daily Mail, William

77
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.360
is dissatisfied with the compromise reached by King Charles, which

78
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:37.839
allowed Andrew to keep the title in name though he

79
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.800
agreed not to use it. Royal author Tom Sykes told

80
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.360
the paper William is deeply unhappy with what he sees

81
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:47.079
as a bodged agreement on Andrew. He wants him out

82
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.439
and he is likely to do this as soon as

83
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.759
he can, Almost as soon as he becomes King. William

84
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.639
was planning to formally banish Andrew from the royal family.

85
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:00.000
As King, William would immediately strip Prince Andrew of his title,

86
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.959
but he might also consider removing the titles from a

87
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.600
number of others. He is looking at the whole family

88
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:08.920
and wondering if it should be streamlined, and if so, how,

89
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.279
But currently there are no decisions beyond one. Andrew was

90
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:17.680
almost certainly going. Royal expert Helena Chad told Fox News

91
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.360
Digital that William is looking into the future where a

92
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.920
solution focused lens he is far more ruthless than his father.

93
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.680
He always takes the heart of line. He can see

94
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.240
reputational damage escalating for the royal family and is reviewing

95
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:35.240
a decisive way forward to combat further scandals. He realizes

96
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:36.920
it's harder for the king to deal with his brother,

97
00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:38.519
and it will be for him to deal with his

98
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.240
uncle in due course. However, he feels his father has

99
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.160
teated too long with the kid Glove's approach. Prince William

100
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:48.480
and the whole royal family are fully supportive of King

101
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.759
Charles taking a stronger stance against his brother. William would

102
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.319
prefer a swift, clean break with Prince Andrew before things

103
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.079
declined further. He also hopes to shield the king from

104
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:01.959
the damage. An insider tells Closer williams absolutely convinced that

105
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.759
the monarchy can only survive if it is streamlined and

106
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:08.040
scandaled free, and in his view, that means Megan and

107
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.560
Harry need to be cut loose completely. The insider says

108
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.199
he wants to keep up the momentum and hold his

109
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.120
father to his promise, which was to slim down the

110
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:19.079
monarchy together and cut tires with hangers on who profit

111
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.399
from their connections to the family even though they're not

112
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:25.680
serving royals. William is taking Charles Hard's stance on Andrew

113
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.040
as a huge victory. It's something he's been after for ages,

114
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.399
and in his views, paved the way for Harry to

115
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:35.279
get the same sort of treatment. William reportedly issued a

116
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:39.360
royal ultimatum, telling Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie their titles could

117
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:41.839
be at risk if they didn't convince their father to

118
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.040
finally move out of Royal Lodge. The claim comes from

119
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.040
broadcast to Emily Maetless, who famously interviewed Andrew for his

120
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:53.560
twenty nineteen News Night appearance on The news Agent's podcast.

121
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.720
Maeteless said there were reports that William met with his

122
00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:00.199
cousins last week to apply pressure. Maetlss said there's a

123
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.680
question over whether there had been earlier in the day

124
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.800
a meeting between Prince William and the princesses Beatrice and Eugenie,

125
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:07.879
saying you guys have got to get your dad to

126
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.639
move out of Royal Lodge, otherwise we will start re

127
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.519
examining the state of your own titles. They are at

128
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.439
the moment allowed to be princesses. But there was a

129
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.879
bitter pressure, we understand, being put on the princesses to

130
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.079
say this is going to happen. Obviously, you can see

131
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:24.120
why Andrew is a father would want to keep their

132
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:27.639
daughters happy and keep their titles in place, come what may.

133
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.079
The discussion came after reports that Charles, returning from his

134
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:34.399
Vatican visit, had planned to personally confront Andrew at Royal

135
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.279
Lodge a symbolic reading of the Riot Act, but according

136
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.800
to Matlus, the Palace pulled the plug once the media

137
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:42.920
caught winned. She said, what happened I understand was that

138
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.319
the Palace then got very nervous, and when they saw

139
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:47.600
the choppers and the helicopters, they thought this has all

140
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.240
got too big, this has got out of control. They

141
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.720
canceled the whole thing, she said. The King just went

142
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.519
straight home and never came by more palace in just

143
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:05.000
a moment. A new review with no name of Palace

144
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:12.040
Intrigue has invited us to be kind. One star Prince

145
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:15.240
Andrew's personal banner displaying his coat of arms inside Windsor castles,

146
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.920
Saint george Chapel has been quietly removed in what royal

147
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:22.079
observers are calling a hugely symbolic act. The banner, which

148
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.240
hung beside Prince Williams, represented Andrews's place within the Order

149
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:28.319
of the Garter, the most senior order of British chivalry.

150
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:30.480
It was first raised in two thousand and six, when

151
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:34.200
the Duke was appointed a Knight of the Order. Its removal, however,

152
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:37.720
is rare, traditionally reserved for instances of high trees and

153
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:40.960
or rebellion against the Crown. A source told the Son

154
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:44.200
it was removed at the most convenient moment. The banner's

155
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.000
design included the three Lions of England, the Harp of

156
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:51.879
Ireland and Scotland's Lion rampant with an anchor symbolizing Andrew's

157
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.840
naval service, a design similar to the one born by

158
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:57.559
Kings George the fifth and sixth when they held the

159
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.000
same York title. Photographs taken of the weekend showed the

160
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.200
banner still in place, but by midweek only an empty

00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:07.000
bracker remained above the choir stalls. Saint George's Chapel holds

162
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:09.600
deep significance for the Duke. It is where he attended

163
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:11.720
the funerals of his parents, Queen Elizabeth the Second and

164
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.320
Prince Philip, and where his Order of the gartera membership

165
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:18.600
has long caused quiet unease among courtiers following his twelve

166
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.120
million pound settlement with Virginia Geoffrey, who accused him of

167
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:26.879
sexual assault, allegations he is consistently denied. While the Duke

168
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:30.120
has refrained from joining the order's public ceremonies since twenty nineteen,

169
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:34.720
he has continued to attend his private luncheon each June. Historically,

170
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:37.000
forty knights have been expelled from the Order since its

171
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.679
founding in thirteen forty eight by Edward the third. In

172
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:43.720
past centuries, a disgraced knight's banner would be unceremoniously thrown

173
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.679
to the chapel floor and kicked into a ditch outside,

174
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.919
a powerful symbol of dishonour that, in Andrew's case, appears

175
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:53.240
to have found a quiet modern echo. And there you

176

If you're enjoying the show, and maybe we'll try to

180
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:08.440
be kind to get more than one star. I'm my

Francis my thanks to That would be no fun, would

by my Francis my thanks to John McDermott. This is

183
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.200
a palace intrigue in good times.
