0:03 Calarougus Shark Media, Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue Game. Your host Mark Francis, often on Saturday, will take a minute to recap the stories where the media reminds us just how wonderful Kate is. The Princess of Wales is expected to make a glamorous return to the state banquet circuit this summer, with another Tierra moment likely in the calendar. The occasion a state visit from French President Emanuel Macron the first Lady Brigitte Macron, who have accepted an invitation from His Majesty, King Charles the Third for an official visit to the United Kingdom in July. In a statement, Buckingham Palace confirmed the President of the French Republic is Excellency Emanuel Macron, companied by missus Bit Macron, has accepted an invitation for His Majesty the King to pay a state visit to the UK from Tuesday the eighth of July to Thursday the tenth. The President and Miss mcran will stay at Castle Buckingham Palace, still undergoing substantial renovation work.
1:03 The French delegation will be based at Windsor, making a notable shift in protocol, but the setting remains suitably regal. Windsor Castle has been a central stage for royal diplomacy since the time of William the Conqueror. Though the Palace has yet to confirm the precise details, a formal state banquet is anticipated, and with it the return of royal jewels. That means both Queen Camilla and Princess Catherine are expected to don Tiara's gowns and royal orders for the evening event. The Princess was absent from the last such banquet in December, held for the Emir of Qatar, as she continued her recovery from cancer treatment. She did, however, take part in earlier engagements during that visit's first day. This upcoming visit will offer an important moment for the soft power diplomacy and a highly symbolic continuation of Franco British relations. It also follows King Charles and Queen Camilla's own state visit to France and Germany in September of twenty twenty three, their first overseas tour since the coronation. The last French state visit to the UK occurred in two thousand and eight, when President Nicholas Sarkozzi and First Lady Carla Brunei were guests of the late Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle.
2:10 As then, the upcoming visit will blend ceremony, conversation and carefully choreographed moments of pageantry, and for royal watches, the prospect of Princess Kate's return to the spotlight in a tiara once again will certainly be one of the more eagerly awaited elements of the summer. The Mirror told us of Kate's morning smoothie. The nutrient packed smoothie said to include kale, spinach, romained lettuce, coriander, blueberries, spiraling the power and just a teaspoon of MUCHA. While that may sound like something fished from a coy pond, nutritionists say there's substance behind the swirl. Helen Bella, nutritionists from Helping Advice, told The Mirror that several ingredients in the princess a smoothie qualifier so called superfoods. She explained, in my experience, the term superfood is often thrown around, but generally refers to foods that are nutrient rich and beneficial for health and well being. Kale spinach and spiraline that she said are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Blueberries are another known for their high antioxidant content, and Mucha, a type of green tea, is known for its concentration of catachins, which are natural antioxidants. However, it's not all good news for the would be green jewice converts. Bell added a note of caution, particularly for those with thyroid issues. It's important to be mindful of individual dieteric needs. She said.
3:27 Those with thyroid issues might need to moderate their intake of raw kale and spinach due to their guatrogan content, and for newcomers too, spirrialina or mucha their potent. She worn, so advised starting with small amounts to ensure they agree with your system. Hello magazine was interested in Kate's genes. Hello tells us that while many fashion insiders have declared twenty twenty five the year of looser fits, with barrel genes and wide legged flares dominating the trend cycle, Catherine continues to champion the classic skinny silhouette. She's been seen wearing them repeatedly through the year, pairing the look effortlessly with hills trainers. Knits and her signature blazers and now we do the secret behind her favorite pair. Kate has been spotted wearing the above and beyond tummy friendly high waist skinny jeans by the British label i Am Denim London, priced at ninety five pounds. The genes are designed with what the brand calls tender Tummy Technology, a unique feature that offers full support and coverage with soft stretchy denim.
4:25 According to the brand's website, the genes offer comfort, confidence and a great fit with a design cleverly allowing full support and coverage of the tummy with super soft stretchy denim. The princess most notably wore the genes in the personal Instagram message in twenty twenty four, where she confirmed she would attend the King Charles's Birthday parade, trooping the color. In a candid caption accompanying a photo taken by Matt Portius, Kate wrote, on the bad days, you feel weak tired. On the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well. She was pictured in a stone colored blazer and white T shirt and her go to skinny The Mirror US compared Kate's favorite books to those of Megan's. Princess Katherine is firmly rooted in the English literary canon, favoring timeless of British classics and Gothic romances. A photo shared from her desk in twenty twenty revealed a neatly stacked collection of Penguin cloth bound classics, among them Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, the eighteen eleven novel Austin's debut follows the lives and fortunes of the Dashwood sisters and remains a staple of Regency literature. Also in her collection as Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, the haunting eighteen forty seven tale of Katherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a dark, turbulent love story still revered as a pinnacle of Gothic fiction. Other favorites reportedly include Bleak House by Charles Dickens, Tess of Deerberville's by Thomas Hardy, and The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Feature layered portrait of Victorian society, grappling with themes of morality, status, and identity.
5:54 Catherine's choices reflected deep appreciation for the narrative traditions of British literature, with cins stories that challenge readers through complex characters and rich social commentary. By contrast, the Duchess of Sussex leans towards modern memoir, self empowerment, and high fashion history. On her now retired blog, The Tig, Megan enthusiastically recommended the Motivation Manifesto by Brendan Burchard, calling it a must have for waking up your inner badass and confronting self doubt. She's also expressed admiration for fashion industry legend Grace Coddington, enlisted in Vogue among her favorites, a visually rich account of the history of Vogue magazine, its covers and the creative minds behind them. Megan's taste further extends to sartorial storytelling, as evidenced in her appreciation for fashion retrospectives featuring iconic garments, from Audrey Hepburn's elegant black Dress to Byork's infamous Swan ensemble.
6:50 These selections aligned with Megan's professional background in media and fashion, as well as her broader brand of modern empowerment. On a more reflective note, she has recommended When Breath Becomes Heir, a poignant memoir by neurosurgeon Paul Callan Neathy which explores life, mortality and meaning I must read while traveling began, once noted of the Politzer Prize finalist, whose lyrical prose and humanist message struck a chord with the Duchess. Kate's brother, James has opened up about the impact of his sister, Princess Catherine's cancer diagnosis, describing it as a challenging time for the entire family. In a new interview with the Times of London, the thirty eight year old author and entrepreneur reflected on the emotional journey his life has faced since the Princess of Wales announced in March twenty twenty four that she had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing treatment. James shared, what I think is that as a family you learn to see and process and understand things.
7:44 For her, her family, it was a challenging time and I know for us in our bigger family, it was a challenging time. But I think it's about communication and it's about offering support and help where you can, being there for someone in such an important part, and it doesn't necessarily have to be on your terms, and it shouldn't be on your terms. It should be on their terms, unconditional. I'm not doing it for something in return. I'm doing it because I love you. And that's the simplest way of really demonstrating love. You can do it in all these various fancy ways, but actually, you know, it's just generally being there. Palace will be right back. The newly unveiled official coronation portraits of their majesties, King Charles the Third and Queen Camella have stirred both admiration and amusement among royal watchers, with one cheeky detail in the King's image capturing rather unexpected attention online. Painted by Peter Kufield, the full length portrait of King Charles was revealed last week at the National Gallery, where it will be on public display for the next six weeks. The King, who sat for the piece over a series of sessions at Windsor Castle, and Saint James Pallas praised the wonderful composition. Meanwhile, Queen Camella, whose own portrait was painted by Paul Spenny, simply declared I just love it. But while the official intention of the work was to reflect the dignity and grummer of the moment. Some royal fans online have spotted what they consider a rather risky visual illusion in the King's portrait. Is that a brath thrown on his shoulder, mused one social media user, referring to a fold or strap like detail in the robe of state which the
9:16 King wears draped across his navel uniform. Another added, I thought he had a brand draped over his shoulder. The artist has not commented on the speculation, and the garment in question is, of course part of the King's coronation regalia, specifically the crimson robe of State, worn during the opening of the coronation service. The robe, along with the metals and naval attire, is a deliberate nod to tradition and continuity, and they have it Like to email usor addresses the palacintryet, Gmail and dot com.
