00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.800
Callarogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome
to Pallas Indrigue. I'm your host.

2
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:19.440
Mark Francis, Prince, Harry's chief
executive for the Invictus Games Foundation, has

3
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:23.160
stepped down after a decade in the
role, just a week after the Duke

4
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:27.920
was criticized for accepting a controversial military
award in the US. The Duke of

5
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:32.280
Sussex expressed his gratitude to his friend
Dominic Reid for his work in transforming the

6
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:38.119
para Olympic style sporting competition for wounded, injured and sick military personnel and veterans

7
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:43.000
from an ambitious idea into a global
movement. Harry, who founded the Invictus

8
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.640
Games in twenty fourteen, stated I
am immensely grateful to my friend Dominic,

9
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:52.560
whose dedication and leadership transformed the Invictus
Games from an ambitious idea to an internationally

10
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:58.039
recognized movement. His tireless efforts over
the past decade have supported thousands of wounded,

11
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:03.759
injured and sick service personnel and veterans
through sports rehabilitation, helping to showcase

12
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:08.840
their unparalleled strength and contribution to society. Mister Reeve's resignation follows the Prince's receipt

13
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.680
of the prestigious Pat Tillman Award for
Service of this year's sb's, given by

14
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:19.400
Sports Channel ESPN to individuals in the
sporting world who have made significant contributions to

15
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.280
the lives of others. The former
soldier described working closely with Harry as a

16
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.799
privilege and commented on his resignation,
it is time for someone new to take

17
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.799
this vital movement forward into its second
vigorous decade. Once a member of the

18
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.560
Invictor's family, you never leave.
Prince Harry's concept, passion, and drive

19
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.959
have been instrumental in our success,
in particular by focusing attention on mental health

20
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:45.920
sports rehabilitation. Harry and Meghan have
faced another setback with their Netflix deal,

21
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.239
as the Duke's Heart of Invictus docuseries
failed to receive a nomination for the seventy

22
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:55.719
six Emmy Awards. In contrast,
David and Victoria Beckham's Netflix documentary Beckham received

23
00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:01.079
five nominations, including Outstanding Documentary Series, Cinematography, Picture Editing, music composition,

24
00:02:01.239 --> 00:02:06.480
and Directing. Harry and Meghan signed
a lucrative deal with Netflix, reportedly

25
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.919
worth more than one hundred million dollars
after stepping down from their royal duties in

26
00:02:08.960 --> 00:02:14.840
twenty twenty. The money is not
being thrown around frivolously with Prince Harry sinik

27
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:19.879
Ian, Samplan and Boardwalk Pictures,
Andrew Fried, Serena Roma, and Dane

28
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.439
Lilligard all reportedly listed as executive producers
on the cooking show. Besides Hearte Invectus,

29
00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:30.000
the couple also released Lived to Lead
on Netflix. Their upcoming projects will

30
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.319
focus on cooking and polo. Separately, Meghan has a podcast deal with Lemonade

31
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:37.919
Media, which itself is reportedly and
for sale. Hopefully the new owners will

32
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.479
be excited about Meghan finally putting out
an episode in twenty twenty five and will

33
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:46.000
be happy to acquire Meghan's contractors part
of the deal. Omer Scoby, who

34
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.719
is totally not the mouthpiece for Harry
and Meghan, is the author of Endgame

35
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:53.680
and Finding Freedom and has been selected
to work on a new royal related TV

36
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:59.599
project. Universal Television has announced that
it has acquired the rights to adapt Scoby's

37
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.879
upcoming fiction book, Royal Spin,
into a TV show. Scoby shared his

38
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.319
excitements on social media, saying when
my next book project was announced in March,

39
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:10.800
I said it was the start of
something very special. And here's another

40
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.599
reason why I'm beyond excited to share
that at Universal TV have acquired the rights

41
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:20.960
to hashtag Royal Spin and we are
turning it into a show. He added,

42
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.159
I'm so lucky to be working with
the most talented people to bring it

43
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:28.680
to life. Royal Spin, co
written by Scoby and young adult novelist Robin

44
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:31.919
Benway, follows an American press agent
who leaves her career in the US for

45
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:38.199
a communications job at Buckingham Palace.
Vivian Cannon from Universal expressed enthusiasm about the

46
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:43.879
project, telling Deadline offering a fresh
take that beautifully blends wit and romance.

47
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.080
Royal Spin is a deeply entertaining exploration
of the worlds and during fascination with the

48
00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:52.240
Royal family. We are delighted to
have landed the rights to this fascinating story

49
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.159
and thrilled to be collaborating with Emily
Omer and Robin to bring it to life

50
00:03:55.319 --> 00:04:00.919
for TV audiences. No word yet
on how many executive producers that series we'll

51
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:10.240
have. Palencein Trigama right back in
Style, wrote King Charles isn't a regular

52
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.719
king. He's a cool king and
to prove it he just broke a major

53
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.160
royal rule. During a recent trip
to the Channel Islands. During the getaway,

54
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:21.240
which included an appearance from Queen Camella, the monarchs met with well wishes

55
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:26.480
at Saint Peter Port Seafront. At
that stop, ninety one year old Kathleen

56
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:30.839
Moriarty planted a kiss on the King's
cheek after asking, of course. In

57
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:33.639
a video posted to x by the
BBC and shared by Bustle, Charles has

58
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:38.399
seen exchanging words with an elderly woman
in the crowd in a rare move.

59
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.600
The King then offers his cheek to
the woman. I said to him,

60
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.720
please, can they give you a
kiss? Moriarty told the BBC after the

61
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:47.000
special moment, and he gives me
his cheek. I just did it.

62
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.360
I didn't plan it, and I
enjoyed it. He's lovely. It was

63
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.240
very nice. I am pleased.
I thought, if all these young dolly

64
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.600
birds can do it, this old
lady can. In Style points out that

65
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.759
while there are no hard and fast
rules when it comes to meeting the royal

66
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.319
the official Royal Family website notes that
members of the public, as well as

67
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:06.240
the royal family themselves, usually wish
to observe the traditional forms of greeting and

68
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:12.680
courtesy. We really haven't spoken enough
about Charles nw cologne brand extension other than

69
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:15.639
telling you Megan is reportedly mad about
it. Charles has launched his new fragrance

70
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:21.120
in partnership with Truefitt and Hill,
titled Highgrove Splash. This new scent inspired

71
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:26.839
by the royal fragrances of the Highgrove
Estate gardens, allowing the public to experience

72
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:31.040
the luxurious aromas typically reserved for the
estate. According to the product's official description,

73
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:36.319
Highgrove Splash features lively citrus notes mingling
with the exquisite essence of Cyprus,

74
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:43.120
instantly awakening the senses and revealing a
heart of serene lavender and exotic copeiber bolsam.

75
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.160
The fragrance also includes grounding vetteva uplifting
cedar wood, and delicate notes of

76
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:51.319
papyrus and lemon, creating a rich
and complex scent profile. Marketed as a

77
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:58.360
fragrance crafted for the distinguished gentleman,
High Grove Splash embodies sophistication and elegance.

78
00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:01.439
H Grove Splashes of available for purchase

80

and community initiatives. However, the
fragrance is only available for shipping within the

81
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:15.079
UK and Northern Ireland. Due to
its popularity, stock levels are currently low,

82
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.720
sparking hope for a potential partnership with
retailers like Sephora in the future.

83
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.759
This isn't King Charles's first foray into
fragrances. As the Prince of Wales,

84
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:30.120
he collaborated with British perfume house Penhaligans
to launch High Grove Bauquet in August twenty

85
00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:33.000
twenty two. This eco friendly perfume
featured a bottle made from one hundred percent

86
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:39.839
recyclable materials and printed with organic ink, reflecting charles commitment to sustainability. The

87
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:45.439
High Grove estates weeping lime trees inspired
this earlier fragrance. The High Grove Gardens

88
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.279
shop also offers a range of products
including clothing accessories, books, and other
