00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.919
Calarogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome through pallace intrigue. I

2
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:18.760
am your host, Mark Francis. Prince William reportedly does not

3
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:23.039
want Prince Harry at William's coronation. The Sunday Times reported

4
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:26.839
that the brothers have not spoken since Elizabeth's funeral in

5
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.640
twenty twenty two, when, according to Harry's book Spare, they

6
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.200
barely exchanged word. A source said to be a friend

7
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:37.079
of William told The Sunday Times they are estranged, which

8
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.640
is dreadfully sad, while another added that Harry rarely comes

9
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:44.039
up in conversation with William and explained this year his

10
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:47.000
focus has been very much on his wife, his children

11
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.679
and his father. That bombshell comes from a piece in

12
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:54.280
The Times by Raya Nicker under the headline Prince Harriet forty.

13
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:57.799
All he does is spend time looking back. The Times

14
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:01.039
highlighted their own article with bullet points. So let's start there,

15
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.200
old friends of Harry, so they cannot imagine he is

16
00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:09.079
enjoying his gilded exile in California. Friends say William does

17
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.079
not want Harry to come to his coronation, whenever that

18
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.519
may be. The brothers are not thought to have spoken

19
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:18.239
in nearly two years. They are estranged, which is dreadfully sad.

20
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.680
The King is frustrated that Harry is continuing to fight

21
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:25.480
the government over his security in the UK. Charles worries

22
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.040
Harry wants to lobby him on the issue, but he

23
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:31.680
will not intervene. Harry and Meghan did not attend a

24
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.480
family briefing on the Queen's funeral the night before the service,

25
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.879
and were not sent the briefing notes until late that night,

26
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.959
events which are said to have wounded Harry. Former aides

27
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:44.120
ask what is the purpose of Prince Harry? And what

28
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.719
is Prince Harry's purpose? He must be wondering where do

29
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.400
I go from here? Royer writes. On September fifteenth, Harry

30
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:53.359
will turn forty. Those closest to him say he is

31
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.760
at a crossroads after laying his sole bear last year

32
00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:00.519
with Spare, the fastest selling nonfiction book in history. He

33
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.879
seems torn between battling old demons and getting on with

34
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.959
his life. All he does is spend time looking back,

35
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.840
says one former adviser to Harry. If only he could

36
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.919
wrench his neck around and look forwards. Some who have

37
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:15.120
known him since his army days the time in his

38
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.919
life that seemed to give him his strongest sense of

39
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:20.520
self and inspired him to launch the Invictus Games for

40
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.639
injured veterans in twenty fourteen. Think he is grappling with

41
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.199
a key unanswered question. What is the purpose of Prince

42
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.319
Harry And what is Prince Harry's purpose? As one of

43
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:31.599
his former aides puts it, he loved the army and

44
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.919
was very good at his job. The work with Invictus's

45
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.280
great and Fatherhood was the role he most wanted. So

46
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.639
perhaps those are enough for him, but everything else is

47
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.919
a bit wooly. I always thought he wanted more from life.

48
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.039
I can't help but think he must be wondering where

49
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.680
do I go from here. We'll have more from this

50
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.120
bombshell piece tomorrow, as we do want to cover Harry

51
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.759
and Meghan's tour, which is now being completely overshadowed by

52
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.199
the Times piece's curious timing, as Harry is not forty

53
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:02.280
for almost another month. Harry and Meghan visit Collegio La Geralda,

54
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.080
a school in Santa Fe, Bogatar. During the time at

55
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.520
the school, they engaged with a kindergarten. During their time

56
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.919
at the school, they engaged with a kindergarten class where

57
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.560
they interacted with students and showcased their Spanish speaking skills.

58
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.680
Harry asked the children their names and ages in Spanish,

59
00:03:18.719 --> 00:03:21.400
while Megan connected with a student by mentioning that her

60
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.960
son Archie is the same age. Megan, who has a

61
00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.360
strong command of Spanish from her time studying in Madrid

62
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.639
and interning at the US Embassy in Buenos Aires, impressed

63
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:33.960
the student's staff with her language ability. Father Greg Boyle

64
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.800
of Homeboy Industries, a group that supports people moving on

65
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:41.039
after incarceration or gang involvement, told people she spoke Spanish

66
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.039
perfectly with one young woman. She just went right into Spanish,

67
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:46.439
which was a revelation and it was very good. The

68
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:50.000
couple also enjoyed performances by students in traditional Columbian dress

69
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.039
and music two of the school's historical Memory museum, and

70
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.919
visited an outdoor classroom where the trees were planted in

71
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.800
their honor. The tour included a visit to the school's

72
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:04.000
Social and Emotional where students demonstrated meditation techniques designed to

73
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:07.840
help balance mental health. The Mirror described the area as

74
00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:11.639
a particularly dangerous and violent suburb. The area is Bogatar's

75
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.439
Red Light district, a deadly mix of prostitution, drugs and violence,

76
00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:19.160
and best avoided at night, according to locals. It featured

77
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:23.120
on Apple TV series No Go Zones, The World's Toughest Places,

78
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.279
and was described as an area of Colombian gangsters and

79
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.120
pimps in charge and or manner of homeless people where

80
00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:31.800
addicts find their way to the wasteland of Bogatar. The

81
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:35.000
ring of steel surrounding the SUSSEXSS will raise eyebrowsers. Columbia

82
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:39.480
has travel advisory warnings from the Foreign Commonwealth Development Office.

83
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.000
As an asside, Harry does not stay at places such

84
00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:47.079
as Buckingham Palace, presumably over security concerns. Keep your story straight, Harry.

85
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.839
The Mirror further reported that Harry and Megan's security in

86
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:54.040
Columbia includes an officer armed with a kevlar shield to

87
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.279
stop any potential shooter taking aim at the couple at

88
00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:59.759
each event the couple have attended. The man part of

89
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:02.959
the u local security detail has been seen jumping out

90
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.360
of a vehicle ahead of the couple holding the folding shield.

91
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:07.680
During the visit to the school, the shield was clearly

92
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.399
visible behind Harry as he planted a tree in the grounds.

93
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.560
During their visit to Collegio La Geralda, a lip reader

94
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.040
uncovered some of the exchanges between Prince Harry and Meghan

95
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.480
Mirkael that reveal the dynamics of their interaction on the tour.

96
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:23.079
As the couple arrived at the school, they were welcomed

97
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:27.040
by the school's headmaster, Sarah Finn Order Piner's and Columbia's

98
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:30.360
Vice President from Cia Macairs. At one point during their visit,

99
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.240
an awkward moment was observed where Meghan seemed to interject

100
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.720
while Harry was about to speak. According to a lip

101
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.000
reader sourced by The Mirror, Harry began to say something

102
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.160
like look, but Meghan interrupted him to address a student,

103
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.079
asking so you want an award in products? Is that right?

104
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:47.560
This moment was noted to appear somewhat strained, with Megan

105
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.680
closing her eyes and clasping her hands together as she spoke.

106
00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:54.240
Another exchange revealed by the lip reader recurred earlier when

107
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.839
the couple was leaving the Vice President's office. Meghan reportedly

108
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.800
gave a direct instruction to Harry, quietly saying hand, to

109
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.800
which Harry responded by handing her his hand, replying here

110
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:11.720
you go. Tell us centric were right back. During Harry

111
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.759
and Meghan's visit to San Basilio de Perlenke, a historic

112
00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.759
town in Columbia known for being the first free African

113
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:22.040
settlements in the America's local residents expressed a desire for

114
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:25.279
Harry to acknowledge and apologize for the British royal family's

115
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:29.240
historical involvement in Transatlantic slave trade. The town, which was

116
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:33.319
established in sixteen nineteen by escaped slaves, holds deep cultural

117
00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:36.399
and historical significance, and the residents see the visit as

118
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.600
a potential opportunity for Prince Harry to address the painful

119
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:44.279
legacy of colonialism and slavery. Segundo Cicadis Rees, the president

120
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.680
of the town's local police, voiced this sentiment, suggesting that

121
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.120
an apology from Harry could help free our hearts and

122
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:54.240
our minds and allow for a sense of reconciliation. Some

123
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:56.759
wonder if Megan will show up at the Democratic National

124
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.639
Convention this week. Andrew Cockburn, the Washington DC editor of

125
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.079
Harper's told Tatler, I haven't heard any rumors. I'm sure

126
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:06.839
she'd like to, but her selling power has really gone

127
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:09.399
pretty rock bottom here. I don't think she would have

128
00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:11.839
much effect. I doubt she'll show up at the convention.

129
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:14.639
I doubt they'd want her there. And there you have it.

134

Prince WIlliam reportedly does not want Prince Harry at William’s coronation!
