00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.400
Calorouga Shark Media. Hello and welcome through Pallas Injury. I

2
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.239
am your host, Mark Francis. Prince William had a close

3
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.399
call on the pitch during a royal engagement. Former Lioness

4
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:23.399
Jill Scott has revealed the Prince of Wales was nearly

5
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.359
injured when the footballing star accidentally took him out during

6
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:28.920
a charity match. The moment, she says, left to her

7
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.760
momentarily panicked the thought of having side tackled the future

8
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.000
King of England. Speaking on the Jonathan Ross Show, Scott

9
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.320
recalled their rather dramatic first meeting. We were opening this school.

10
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:40.840
She said, I just had trainers and it was astro turf.

11
00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:43.479
I slipped and wiped him out. I thought, I've just

12
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.439
side tackled the future King. He's such a lovely guy. Scott,

13
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:49.200
who earned one hundred and sixty one caps and scored

14
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.240
twenty seven goals for England over the course of her

15
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:54.000
international career, said the Prince took the incident in stride

16
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.840
and his issue and genuine support for women's football. Their

17
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.719
paths have crossed several times, including a twenty twenty two

18
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.840
when William sent a personal message congratulating her in her

19
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.879
retirement at Jill Scott JS eight. Congratulations on a wonderful career.

20
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:10.079
It's been a pleasure to get to know you, he

21
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.719
wrote on social media tiny bit pleased there won't be

22
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:17.680
any more slide tackles during friendly kickabouts. W Scott also

23
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:21.599
shared a more unusual royal anecdote involving her mb during

24
00:01:21.599 --> 00:01:23.840
the pandemic, she missed the official ceremony and ended up

25
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.599
collecting the honor from the post office. It was COVID time.

26
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:28.319
I bought all the outfits, but it had to be

27
00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:30.680
delivered to home instead and I missed it one day.

28
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:32.760
You know when you get the missed parcel note and

29
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.400
I missed the parcel so I went to pick it

30
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:36.400
up and it was my mbe. It was in the

31
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:39.920
sorting office in Warrington. Despite the less than regal setting,

32
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:43.000
she says, William center heartfelt letter, thanking her for her

33
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:46.519
contribution to the sport and her continued efforts to champion

34
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:50.200
the women's game. In another moment, captured ahead of the Euros,

35
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.920
Scott was photographed speaking animatedly with the Prince. She explained

36
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.799
the now viral image, saying before the Euros he came

37
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:58.840
to Saint George's part to say hello to the goals

38
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.480
and wish them luck. I took our coffee cup to

39
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:03.959
give him from our coffee shop. I thought it'd be

40
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.719
a nice gesture. I give it to his security there

41
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:08.840
in the picture. I'm trying to explain to him the

42
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:13.199
difference between a flat white and large latter. William has

43
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.319
confirmed that this year's earth Shot Prize Awards will take

44
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:17.960
place in u Rio di Janario, Brazil, this November, marking

45
00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:20.360
the first time the environmental honors will be staged in

46
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.879
South America. The ceremony will coincide with the cop thirty

47
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.080
UN Climate Summit, also in Brazil, setting the stage for

48
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.280
what may prove to be a significant moment in the

49
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:33.120
global climate calendar. William said, twenty twenty five marks the

50
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.479
midway point of the earth Shot decade, and each year

51
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.719
we've witnessed the remarkable power of human ingenuity in addressing

52
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:42.039
our planet's most pressing challenges. As we bring the earth

53
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.080
Shot Prize to Brazil, a nation rich in biodiversity and

54
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:48.319
environmental innovation, we are seeing fresh momentum for new ideas

55
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:50.919
to create healthier and safer ways to live our lives.

56
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.800
It is an honour to profile the people making our

57
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:56.479
world a better place for us and for our children.

58
00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.840
A video has been released to mark the announcement, featuring

59
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:03.360
the Prince alongside several high profile earth Shot supporters, including

60
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:08.039
Cate Blanchette, Robert Irwin, David Beckham, Hannah Waddingham, Heidi Kluhm

61
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.919
and Brazilian football icons CFU and Marrow Silver. Launched by

62
00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:15.719
Prince William in twenty twenty, the earth Shot Prize awards

63
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:19.000
five one million pound prizes each year to individuals and

64
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.280
organizations off in groundbreaking solutions to environmental challenges. The five

65
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:26.719
categories known as earth Shots are protect and restore nature,

66
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:30.599
clean our air, revive our oceans, build a waste free world,

67
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:33.960
and fix our climate. The most recent ceremony took place

68
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.080
in Cape Town in twenty twenty four, following previous editions

69
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.319
in London, Boston and Singapore. Inspired by President John F.

70
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.280
Kennedy's Moonshot, the earth Shot initiative is designed to highlight scalable,

71
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:49.080
real world solutions already making a difference. A source close

72
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.800
to the Prince said his commitment to restoring the future

73
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.520
of the planet is unwavering and the Prince is determined

74
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:56.919
to do all he can to use his platform to

75
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.800
spread urgent optimism. Next year, the climate will take place

76
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:04.479
in Brazil, and it's said to be hugely consequential. The

77
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:06.840
Prince of Wales is looking forward to playing a role

78
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:14.120
there more powers. In just a moment, Prince William was

79
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.680
taking a striking step away from a royal tradition by

80
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.800
hiring the same legal firm that represented his late mother, Diana,

81
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:22.680
Princess of Wales during her divorce from King Charles. The

82
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.120
move has been widely interpreted as a signal of his

83
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.120
determination to chart a new course, one that is distinctly

84
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.079
his own. According to reports in The Daily Mail and

85
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:35.160
the Son, William has now parted ways with Harbottle and Lewis,

86
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:38.240
the long preferred legal advisors of his father, in favor

87
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.319
of Michon de Reya, the firm that stood by Diana

88
00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.879
through her tumultuous split from the then Prince of Wales

89
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.639
in nineteen ninety six. Lord Michon, the firm's founder, was

90
00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:52.600
a trusted confidante of Diana's and deputy chairman Anthony Julius,

91
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:56.839
served as her solicitor throughout the divorce proceedings. Diana's closeness

92
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.959
to her legal team extended beyond court room strategy. Famous

93
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.439
expressed concerns to Lord Michon that she feared for her life.

94
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.040
In a letter later shared with police, she wrote of

95
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.319
her belief that she might be killed in a staged

96
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.920
car crash. Efforts would be made, if not to get

97
00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.279
rid of her by some accident in her car, such

98
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.480
as a pre prepared break failure, at least to see

99
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.319
that she was so injured or damaged as to be

100
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.439
declared unbalanced in her mind. Just two years later, she

101
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.120
died at a car crash in Paris alongside Dirty Fayead.

102
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.120
Now nearly three decades on, her son has turned to

103
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.480
the same firm. A source close to the Prince told

104
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:31.879
The Mail William wanted to strike out on his own.

105
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:34.600
He did not want to continue using his father's lawyers.

106
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:36.519
It's as simple as that he wants to be his

107
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.879
own man. William wants to do things differently from his

108
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.839
father and wants to be seen to do them differently.

109
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.560
Kensington Palace has not issued a statement on the matter.

110
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:49.279
Will's pr machine was in overdrive this week. The son

111
00:05:49.439 --> 00:05:51.959
let us know the princes embracing a second chance at

112
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.000
life with Princess Kate following her recent health challenges, with

113
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.199
insiders suggesting the royal couple are more in love than ever.

114
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:01.839
After a difficult year in which Kate underwent cancer treatment,

115
00:06:02.199 --> 00:06:05.319
she is now in remission and gradually resuming royal duties.

116
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:09.319
A source tells Closer William has been incredibly supportive through

117
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.519
Kate's cancer battle. He's really proven himself to be a

118
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:15.560
remarkable partner When the going gets tough. His big focus

119
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.720
has been on making the most of their time and

120
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.079
his second chance at life together. That means more romantic dinners,

121
00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:24.879
more long walks, and more holidays. The couple, who famously

122
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.600
honeymooned in the Seychelles are reportedly considering a return to

123
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:30.319
that island paradise as they map out their summer plants.

124
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.040
Family trips to Cornwall and the Isles of Silly are

125
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.680
also on the calendar, along with the possibility of a

126
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.000
quiet getaway for just the two of them. Kate first

127
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:42.839
revealed her diagnosis in an emotional video message last March

128
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:44.720
and took a step back from public life to focus

129
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.560
on her health. Since then, she has slowly reappeared at

130
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.959
selected royal engagements, including a moving visit to meet Holocaust

131
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.120
survivors in a day at the Tihaven's Children's Hospice in Wales.

132
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.720
According to the same source, William took on so many

133
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:01.000
extra duties doing Kate's treatment and remained the most doting husband,

134
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.959
with even those closest to the family remarking on his steadfastness.

135
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.639
Observers noted a clear shift in the couple's dynamic during St.

136
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.279
David's day visit to Wales, where they were seen laughing,

137
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.519
holding hands, and even sharing a private joke as they

138
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.839
baked cakes together at the local market. A body language expert,

139
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.279
Judy James remarked, It's always been known that they will

140
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.000
naturally hold hands and hug behind the scenes, but here

141
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.560
they are in public, walking along a station platform where

142
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.839
their bodies welded together from shoulder to pelvis and with

143
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.439
a loving hand clasped to signal they might still be

144
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:33.079
in the honeymoon stages of their love story and they

145
00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:34.680
have it. If you like the email us addresses the
