Prince Harry was given Budgie Smugglers

0:03 Calorogus Shark Media, Hellollo and welcome to palace. Intrigued, I am your host, Mark Francis. Prince Harry was presented with an inappropriate gift from Team Australia at the Invictus Games. The Duke of Sussex was handed a pair of Speedo's colloquially known in Australia as budgy smugglers, and was visibly amused as he examined the tiny swimwear. So inappropriate. I love it, Thank you very much, Harry was heard exclaiming. The lighthearted exchange was later shared on Megan's Instagram stories, with the Duchess captioning the clip and Team Australia, You've done it again. The moment echoed a previous encounter at the twenty eighteen Invictors Games in Sydney, when an Australian athlete cheekily requested Harry's autograph on a similar pair of speedos.

0:54 At the time, the Prince jokingly agreed on the condition that the athlete wore them on his head. The Royal Protocol ultimately prevented him from signing personal items as it is a day that ends in Why Sussex's have been criticized. Meghan's latest rebrand is being called that of a gigly wife. Bonny expert Judy James said she looked like a cross between a woman on date night and a mum going to her son's school's open day. The male quoted and in Victors Games Insider is saying they have become a distraction, overshadowing the veterans who should be at the center of it all. This event should be about veterans, not royal spectacle. While we remain committed to supporting the veterans and their families, there is growing frustration over how Harry and Meghan have dominated the narrative. Unlike them, veterans and their families do not see themselves as victims. Their woke agender dies with veterans.

1:47 It is believed Harry and Meghan checked into the five star Fairmont Pacific Rim in Vancouver on Friday evening, accompanied by a convoy of blacked out SUVs. While the exact suite occupied by the couple remains undisclosed, the hotel's most exclusive offering, the Chairman's Suite, would seem an apt choice given Prince Harry's role as the events founder and patron. The two story, twenty two hundred and fifty square foot suite, dubbed the rock Star Suite, is designed in the style of a Balinese villa and boasts a host of extravagant features. These include an outdoor rooftop patio complete with a meditation pond and fire pit, as well as a private gazebo and tented terrace. Inside, the suite is adorned with Sporowsky crystal chandeliers stretching eight feet in length to living areas, a wine cellar, and a lavish master bedroom with a fireplace.

2:36 The accommodation also features its own private elevator and a discrete entrance away from the rest of the hotel. The Fairmont Pacific rim is situated mere steps from the Vancouver Convention Center, the main competition venue for the Games, with the two locations conveniently linked by an underground walkway. The hotel, which has previously hosted the likes of Tom Cruise and Ed Cheran, is considered one of Canada's finest, with its restaurant ranked among the world's top ten four cuisine. Guests of the Chairman Suite are treated to a daily breakfast freshly prepared to order, as well as an evening Canopy Hour curated by the hotel's top chefs for those wishing to indulge further. The Fairmont's cocktail menu features a drink named the Dirty Harry, a vodka based creation with driver, mirth, ginger and pickled cucumber. It takes its name from Douglas Coopland's Dirty Harry twenty twenty one artwork, which hangs near the hotel's lift entrance. The Fairmont Hotel chain has been long associated with royal visits to Canada. During the nineteen thirty nine to King George the sixth and Queen Elizabeth later known as the Queen Mother, officially opened Fairmont Hotel Vancouver.

3:43 After a twenty twenty four filled with health scares, the royal family appears to be back to normal strength. The King made a secret visit to the London Colisseum to attend a performance of the Pirates of Penzance by the English National Opera. The previous day, he visited an art exhibition. One source to the Times describe the family's increased activity as a nice problem to have with so called slim down monarchy. Now back to full strength, members of the Royal family have resumed their duties across the country and beyond. Prince Andrew has reportedly struck a deal with Dutch firm startup boot Camp that will see him act as a networking middleman, leveraging contacts he made through his now tainted Pitch at Palace initiative. According to a source speaking to the Sun that disgraaced Royal will pocket a cut from each deal SBC secures, potentially earning millions, a financial boost that could help him cling to Royal Lodge, his windsor residence that King Charles has been trying to wrest from him.

4:41 The arrangement was first pitched to Buckingham Palace last summer, and despite the King's decision to cut Andrew's one million pound annual allowance, the Duke of York has yet to vacate the grade to listed property. Palace sources now appear to be reassured about his new funding streams. The Daily Mail reported Pitch at Palace, which was already struggling after Andrew's disastrous twenty nineteen News Night interview that was linked to Jeffrey Epstein, took another hit recently when financial documents revealed that over two hundred and thirty thousand pounds had been pulled from the organization's accounts. The withdrawal, signed by the sole director, Arthur Lancaster, follows a similar cash pull of one hundred twenty thousand pounds last year. Startup boot Camp CEO Kuhen von Novak confirmed their partnership, stating our mission is to help entrepreneurs to create the change the world needs. We see the immense value in the network built up by Pitch at Pallace. Given the controversies surrounding both Andrew and the now diminished to Pitch at Palace, the movie is already raising eyebrows. What palaceing just a moment?

The adventures couple visited the region, which holds historic ties to the Gurkhas, as part of their sixth day trip to the country. Earlier in the trip, they attended a significant military ceremony in Pokhara, where two hundred and seventy four new Gurkha recruits swore an oath of allegiance to King Charles. Addressing the new soldiers, Edwards expressed his gratitude, saying thank you for choosing to serve in the Brigade of Gurkhas in the British Army, and thank you for swearing allegiance to His Majesty. Today. He reminded them of the regiment's two hundred and nine year history of loyalty and courage, adding you are a soldier in the British Army, but you are a son of Nepal. Be proud of both. The couple also got a fluff piece from the Times. As they wrapped up their official visit to Nepal. Edward explained their marriage. We're best friends, Sophie agreed, adding there's always got to be humor, especially when you're traveling and you've got no idea what's about to happen. You've got to laugh.
