Prince William Steps Forward as King Charles Fades: Inside the Shift in Royal Power

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallace Intrigue game host Mark Francis. King Charles made a rare joint appearance with Prince William at the Natural History Museum in London, where the pair announced that the Prince of Wales will represent his father at the COP thirty Climate Summit in Brazil next month. The event marked six weeks until world leaders gather in Bellem and it will be the first time William attends a COP summit overseas. He will already be in Brazil for the Earthshot Prize Awards in Rio on November fifth, and will travel north to deliver a speech at the environmental conference, widely seen as a major step in his evolution as a global statesman. The King, who continues his cancer treatment, was joined by William and meeting environmental leaders, innovators and students working to combat climate change. Some are taking this as another sign in the shift in power and the Charles may not be healthy and the Royalist Tom Sykes used the word horrified when describing photos of the event, writing while the British media are faithfully towing that line, I feel sure that when people see the pictures popping up on their news feeds. It's impossible to look at these images without seeing how much King Charles health has declined. The man's suit is falling off him.

1:27 Charles has shown extraordinary courage. He has been an example to millions living with cancer, proving that one can keep working, engaging and enjoying life. In many ways. Nothing has animated him more than doing his job of being king. But the attempt to play down the severity of his condition is becoming totally unsustainable. As I have noted before, the BBC and the mainstream British media have been compliant to the Pallace's Orwellian Ministry of truth style counter factual agenda. It's not just cowardice. They are bound by privacy laws that emerge from the Levison inquiry. Under those rules, the media cannot publish details of someone's health without consent. A senior editor once explained to me that even if they knew the King had bladder cancer, he does not, they could not report it. I'm afraid I don't see how the health of the head of state of a hereditary monarchy is not a valid matter of public interest. Some call it ghoulish. I call it reporting. The death of kings is, after all, one of the oldest subjects in literature.

2:29 Shakespeare's history plays, Hillary Mantell's wolf Hall Trilogy, Game of Thrones, power, succession, mortality. The themes are eternal. The intelligence I am getting from sources close to the King is that he remains intellectually sharp and full of enthusiasm, but tires quickly. He is sent to sleep far more than he used to. Friends describe him as still brilliant but exhausted. The Palace, meanwhile, is quietly engaged in what it calls demise planning. The funeral arrangements have been, as one would expect, refreshed. Those of us who whose reading extends beyond the work of the royal wrotea no, for example, that Harry and Meghan will not be excluded. In fact, they will be invited to play a prominent role when the day comes. Prince William was visibly moved during an emotional conversation about the impact of suicide released today. In a new video to mark World Mental Health Day, the Prince of Wales visits the home of Rhianne Mannings from Cardiff, who lost her one year old son George in twenty twelve, and just five days later her husband Paul, who took his own life.

3:32 Since then, Rhiann has founded the bereavement charity to Wish, which supports families affected by the sudden and unexpected death of a child or a young person. Over Tea and Welsh Cake's Rihann spoke candidly about grief lost and the need for more open conversations around suicide. Rhiann recalled the deep stigma she faced at the time, saying I was quite surprised by it. I had never been touched by suicide. It was something that happened in the news. Nobody would talk about it or say what happened, and I found that really confusing. At the time, as Brion described how she still goes over her husband's final days, wondering what she missed, she said quietly, There's only one thing I would have ever said to him if I had the time with him, and that would be, why didn't you speak to me? Because he has missed out on just so much joy and we would have been okay. And I think that's what the hardest thing is. We would have been okay. William appeared overcome with emotion and paused before asking his next question. When Rhiann asked if he was all right, he admitted softly. Sorry, it's hard to ask you all these questions. She replied, I know it's hard.

4:32 You've experienced loss yourself. Reflecting on the conversation, the Prince said, the best way to prevent suicide is to talk about it. Talk about it early, talk about it with your loved ones, with those you trust. So thank you for talking about it. The video coincides with the launch of the Royal Foundation's New Suicide Prevention Network, a major initiative there by William and the Princess of Wales. Backed by one million pounds in funding and more than twenty partner organizations, including two wish the network aims to address the room causes of suicide and ensure better access to support across the UK. Prince William said the incredible partners who formed this network reach those at risk of or affected by suicide with their inspirational work. Their efforts reaffirm the urgent mission of the National Suicide Prevention Network to build a bold, unified national response to the heartbreaking and preventable tragedy of suicide.

5:24 Prince Harry and Meghan Michael were honored in New York City as Humanitarians of the Year, using their acceptance speech to warn about the danger's children face online at the Project Healthy Minds, Gala, Meghan told the audience, Luckily they're still too young for social media, but we know that day is coming. Like so many parents, we think constantly about how to embrace technologies benefits while safeguarding against its dangers, and that hopeful intention of separation is rapidly becoming impossible. Harry called online exploitation one of the most pressing issues of our time, urging collective action to protect families in the digital age. These families not only up against corporations and lobbyists, many of whom spend tens of millions of dollars every year in suppressing the truth, but also algorithms designed to maximize data collection at any cost. Their initiative for the Parents' Network partners with the advocacy group Parents Together to support families impacted by online harm. We know that when parents come together, when communities unite, waves are made.

6:21 We've seen that happen and we're watching it grow, and with your support, we will continue building a safer digital world for all our children.

No longer will the spaniels and terriers of the Berkshire area be able to frolick and sniff in a favorite park thanks to eight new security operation. The reason the Waleses are coming. Locals near the six hundred and eighty acre wins at Great Park Estate have been doing some huffing about the creation of a huge no go zone to shield Prince William and Kate. The Prince and Princess of Wales and their family in their new home, Forest Lodge, drawing attention to the covert and not so covert measures that keep the royal family safe. It's a rare insight into part of a royal life that absolutely no one in or near a palace will ever comment on the secret tactics, plans, and everyday things used to shield them. Details of the operation to get their new home ready for senior royal occupation reveal the serious work required to make it safe enough for two future Kings and Prince Louis, varied assortment of la booboos to call home. To obscure the view of the lodge, extra trees have been planted. This is not the first time some strategic shrubbery has been deployed by the Waleses.

9:15 In twenty seventeen, they spent about forty thousand dollars of taxpayer money to plant mature trees to shield a bit of open green space for Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Then in twenty nineteen they spent about thirty thousand dollars to install a nine hundred and fifty feet long hedge to block peeping tourists snapping them coming and going via Royal helicopter, also helping keep the Waleses safe.
