00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:19.359
Hello and welcome to Pallace Intrigue game host Mark Francis.
3
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:23.039
King Charles made a rare joint appearance with Prince William
4
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:26.160
at the Natural History Museum in London, where the pair
5
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:29.519
announced that the Prince of Wales will represent his father
6
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.719
at the COP thirty Climate Summit in Brazil next month.
7
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.119
The event marked six weeks until world leaders gather in
8
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:40.119
Bellem and it will be the first time William attends
9
00:00:40.159 --> 00:00:42.960
a COP summit overseas. He will already be in Brazil
10
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.880
for the Earthshot Prize Awards in Rio on November fifth,
11
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:49.240
and will travel north to deliver a speech at the
12
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.280
environmental conference, widely seen as a major step in his
13
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.640
evolution as a global statesman. The King, who continues his
14
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.359
cancer treatment, was joined by William and meeting environmental leaders,
15
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.640
innovators and students working to combat climate change. Some are
16
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:05.799
taking this as another sign in the shift in power
17
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.280
and the Charles may not be healthy and the Royalist
18
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.480
Tom Sykes used the word horrified when describing photos of
19
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:16.239
the event, writing while the British media are faithfully towing
20
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:18.680
that line, I feel sure that when people see the
21
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.920
pictures popping up on their news feeds. It's impossible to
22
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:24.480
look at these images without seeing how much King Charles
23
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.640
health has declined. The man's suit is falling off him.
24
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.239
Charles has shown extraordinary courage. He has been an example
25
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:35.040
to millions living with cancer, proving that one can keep working,
26
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.640
engaging and enjoying life. In many ways. Nothing has animated
27
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.760
him more than doing his job of being king. But
28
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.959
the attempt to play down the severity of his condition
29
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.599
is becoming totally unsustainable. As I have noted before, the
30
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.439
BBC and the mainstream British media have been compliant to
31
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.799
the Pallace's Orwellian Ministry of truth style counter factual agenda.
32
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:01.359
It's not just cowardice. They are bound by privacy laws
33
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.760
that emerge from the Levison inquiry. Under those rules, the
34
00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:08.319
media cannot publish details of someone's health without consent. A
35
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:10.560
senior editor once explained to me that even if they
36
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.680
knew the King had bladder cancer, he does not, they
37
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:16.639
could not report it. I'm afraid I don't see how
38
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:18.680
the health of the head of state of a hereditary
39
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.599
monarchy is not a valid matter of public interest. Some
40
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:25.639
call it ghoulish. I call it reporting. The death of
41
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:29.280
kings is, after all, one of the oldest subjects in literature.
42
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:36.280
Shakespeare's history plays, Hillary Mantell's wolf Hall Trilogy, Game of Thrones, power, succession, mortality.
43
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.360
The themes are eternal. The intelligence I am getting from
44
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.840
sources close to the King is that he remains intellectually
45
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.080
sharp and full of enthusiasm, but tires quickly. He is
46
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.599
sent to sleep far more than he used to. Friends
47
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:51.759
describe him as still brilliant but exhausted. The Palace, meanwhile,
48
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.960
is quietly engaged in what it calls demise planning. The
49
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.199
funeral arrangements have been, as one would expect, refreshed. Those
50
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:01.719
of us who whose reading extends beyond the work of
51
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:04.759
the royal wrotea no, for example, that Harry and Meghan
52
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.879
will not be excluded. In fact, they will be invited
53
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.319
to play a prominent role when the day comes. Prince
54
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.400
William was visibly moved during an emotional conversation about the
55
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.960
impact of suicide released today. In a new video to
56
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.879
mark World Mental Health Day, the Prince of Wales visits
57
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.199
the home of Rhianne Mannings from Cardiff, who lost her
58
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.080
one year old son George in twenty twelve, and just
59
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.919
five days later her husband Paul, who took his own life.
60
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.840
Since then, Rhiann has founded the bereavement charity to Wish,
61
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.520
which supports families affected by the sudden and unexpected death
62
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:42.319
of a child or a young person. Over Tea and
63
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.759
Welsh Cake's Rihann spoke candidly about grief lost and the
64
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.400
need for more open conversations around suicide. Rhiann recalled the
65
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:52.120
deep stigma she faced at the time, saying I was
66
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:55.400
quite surprised by it. I had never been touched by suicide.
67
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.879
It was something that happened in the news. Nobody would
68
00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:59.840
talk about it or say what happened, and I found
69
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:03.120
that really confusing. At the time, as Brion described how
70
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.719
she still goes over her husband's final days, wondering what
71
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.400
she missed, she said quietly, There's only one thing I
72
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:09.919
would have ever said to him if I had the
73
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.159
time with him, and that would be, why didn't you
74
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:14.560
speak to me? Because he has missed out on just
75
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.360
so much joy and we would have been okay. And
76
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:19.680
I think that's what the hardest thing is. We would
77
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:23.360
have been okay. William appeared overcome with emotion and paused
78
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.639
before asking his next question. When Rhiann asked if he
79
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.279
was all right, he admitted softly. Sorry, it's hard to
80
00:04:29.399 --> 00:04:32.079
ask you all these questions. She replied, I know it's hard.
81
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:36.439
You've experienced loss yourself. Reflecting on the conversation, the Prince said,
82
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.879
the best way to prevent suicide is to talk about it.
83
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.120
Talk about it early, talk about it with your loved ones,
84
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.160
with those you trust. So thank you for talking about it.
85
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:47.800
The video coincides with the launch of the Royal Foundation's
86
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:51.519
New Suicide Prevention Network, a major initiative there by William
87
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:54.199
and the Princess of Wales. Backed by one million pounds
88
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:57.839
in funding and more than twenty partner organizations, including two
89
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.639
wish the network aims to address the room causes of
90
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:03.560
suicide and ensure better access to support across the UK.
91
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:07.639
Prince William said the incredible partners who formed this network
92
00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:10.879
reach those at risk of or affected by suicide with
93
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.639
their inspirational work. Their efforts reaffirm the urgent mission of
94
00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:18.439
the National Suicide Prevention Network to build a bold, unified
95
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:23.000
national response to the heartbreaking and preventable tragedy of suicide.
96
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:26.839
Prince Harry and Meghan Michael were honored in New York
97
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:29.800
City as Humanitarians of the Year, using their acceptance speech
98
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:33.199
to warn about the danger's children face online at the
99
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:37.160
Project Healthy Minds, Gala, Meghan told the audience, Luckily they're
100
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.199
still too young for social media, but we know that
101
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.839
day is coming. Like so many parents, we think constantly
102
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:45.959
about how to embrace technologies benefits while safeguarding against its dangers,
103
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:50.240
and that hopeful intention of separation is rapidly becoming impossible.
104
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:54.480
Harry called online exploitation one of the most pressing issues
105
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.920
of our time, urging collective action to protect families in
106
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.439
the digital age. These families not only up against corporations
107
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.199
and lobbyists, many of whom spend tens of millions of
108
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.399
dollars every year in suppressing the truth, but also algorithms
109
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:11.839
designed to maximize data collection at any cost. Their initiative
110
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.600
for the Parents' Network partners with the advocacy group Parents
111
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.000
Together to support families impacted by online harm. We know
112
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:21.120
that when parents come together, when communities unite, waves are made.
113
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.519
We've seen that happen and we're watching it grow, and
114
00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:26.600
with your support, we will continue building a safer digital
115
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:30.519
world for all our children. The couple coordinated in classic
116
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.759
black ensembles for the occasion, Megan in a tailored Armani
117
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.639
suit with a gold chain necklace and her hair in
118
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:40.240
a sleek ponytail, Harry in the matching suit and tie.
119
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.480
Megan will join some of America's most influential figures of
120
00:06:43.560 --> 00:06:47.079
the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit in Washington, d C.
121
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.839
According to People magazine, the Duchess of Sussex will take
122
00:06:49.879 --> 00:06:53.399
part in a session exploring navigating entrepreneurship in the public
123
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:55.839
eye and building a brand that will endure as she
124
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.240
continues to promote her lifestyle venture as ever, the three

campaign and new book one hundred and seven Days, alongside
128
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.879
Selena Gomez, who will speak about her Rare beauty brand.
129
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:15.720
Other guests include USA women's basketball coach Karl Lawson and
130
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:20.279
author Brene Brown, who will address leadership and company culture.

More Palace in Just a Moment and if you haven't

heard out now is Pallace Intrigue presents King William It's

our new speculative drama and it imagines the moment the
134
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.279
King dies and William becomes king. Episode one was out
135
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.240
last week and it began with that life changing phone call.
136
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.720
From there, the story follows William through duty, grief, Queen
137
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.279
Catherine's transformation, a former queen struggling to hold her place,
138
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:52.680

Daniela also writes it's a dark day for the dog
146
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.639
walkers of Windsor. No longer will the spaniels and terriers
147
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:20.920
of the Berkshire area be able to frolick and sniff
148
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.759
in a favorite park thanks to eight new security operation.
149
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:27.959
The reason the Waleses are coming. Locals near the six
150
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.279
hundred and eighty acre wins at Great Park Estate have
151
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:32.879
been doing some huffing about the creation of a huge
152
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.600
no go zone to shield Prince William and Kate. The
153
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:37.639
Prince and Princess of Wales and their family in their
154
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.320
new home, Forest Lodge, drawing attention to the covert and
155
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:44.320
not so covert measures that keep the royal family safe.
156
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:46.440
It's a rare insight into part of a royal life
157
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:49.039
that absolutely no one in or near a palace will
158
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.519
ever comment on the secret tactics, plans, and everyday things
159
00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.639
used to shield them. Details of the operation to get
160
00:08:55.639 --> 00:08:57.840
their new home ready for senior royal occupation reveal the
161
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.879
serious work required to make it safe enough for two
162
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.480
future Kings and Prince Louis, varied assortment of la booboos
163
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:08.840
to call home. To obscure the view of the lodge,
164
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.720
extra trees have been planted. This is not the first
165
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:15.200
time some strategic shrubbery has been deployed by the Waleses.
166
00:09:15.320 --> 00:09:18.159
In twenty seventeen, they spent about forty thousand dollars of
167
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.000
taxpayer money to plant mature trees to shield a bit
168
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:24.679
of open green space for Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
169
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:27.399
Then in twenty nineteen they spent about thirty thousand dollars
170
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.720
