00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.960
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace in Tree.

2
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.679
I'm your host. Lord Frances, King Charles and Queen Camilla

3
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.920
arrived in Australia on Friday evening for their six day

4
00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:24.480
royal tour. Undeterred by torrential downpours. The King led the

5
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.679
way down the planes steps and rainy conditions, holding an

6
00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:30.160
umbrella and checking to make sure Camilla was safe as

7
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:33.280
she followed behind. They were greeted at the airport by

8
00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:37.759
Governor General Sam Mostyn and her husband Simeon Beckett, as

9
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.560
well as other key officials, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese

10
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.479
and his fiancee Jody Hayden. Just before their arrival, heavy

11
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:47.880
rain had drenched the runway, but it cleared in time

12
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:51.320
for the couple's landing at eight thirty pm local time.

13
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.679
Camilla wore a striking royal blue dress by Fiona Claire,

14
00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:00.280
paired with the Australian wattle broche sentimental Peace to the

15
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.120
Late Queen Elizabeth by the people of Australia. During their visit,

16
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.000
Camilla made a young boy's dream come true. Twelve year

17
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:10.920
old Kai, who suffers from severe aplastic anemia, presented a

18
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.719
posy to the Queen, fulfilling his wish granted by the

19
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:18.400
Make a Wish Foundation. After their arrival, the royal couple

20
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:21.480
traveled to Admiralty House for tea with the Prime Minister

21
00:01:21.560 --> 00:01:24.439
and his partner. However, the lighting of the Sydney Opera

22
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.920
House planned to mark their visit, was delayed due to

23
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:32.000
heavy rain and a cruise ship ironically named the Queen

24
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.799
Elizabeth blocking the projector. Despite the delay, the event went ahead,

25
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.359
with New South Wales Premier Chris Mins stating it was

26
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:45.159
important to ensure the King was warmly welcomed. Ahead of

27
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:47.680
their historic visit to Australia, King Charles and Queen Camilla

28
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:51.640
shared a heartfelt message on social media expressing their excitement

29
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.599
about the trip. The post read, ahead of our first

30
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.159
visit to Australia as King and Queen, we are really

31
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.640
looking forward to returning to this beautiful country to celebrate

32
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.439
the extraordinarily rich cultures and communities that make it so special.

33
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.039
See you there. The message was signed Charles R and

34
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:11.879
Camilla Are and included a nostalgic three minute video featuring

35
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.879
a younger Charles, along with clips of the late Queen

36
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:19.680
Elizabeth and Prince Philip. One fan described the video as nostalgic,

37
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.840
while others expressed their enthusiasm for the royal visit, with

38
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.039
one commenting, lovely video. I'm sure you will get a

39
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:31.400
warm welcome from the wonderful Australian people. Royal expert Hugo

40
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.960
Vickers has claimed that King Charles is unlikely to be

41
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.960
concerned with Prince Harry's reported purchase of a new home

42
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.800
in Portugal. According to reports, Harry and Meghan have bought

43
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:43.439
the property just over a year after being evicted from

44
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:47.439
Frogmore Cottage and Windsor. Vickers told the son the King's

45
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:49.360
got a lot of things to get on with. Apart

46
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.280
from getting well, He's got his big tour in Australia.

47
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.800
He added, Harry just needs to sort himself out, suggesting

48
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:57.759
the King has left the door open for Harry to

49
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:02.120
return to the Royal fold if he chooses. The purchase

50
00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:04.680
has sparked a speculation, with some suggesting it could signal

51
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.759
a gradual return for the couple to Europe. Others believe

52
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.520
Harry's decision to buy in Portugal is tying to his

53
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.680
close relationship with cousin Princess Eugenie, who also owns a

54
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:18.000
home there. Vickers hinted that Harry may also be seeking

55
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:22.039
an alternative residence in case Donald Trump, whom Megan has

56
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:26.639
criticized in the past, wins the next US presidential election.

57
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:31.039
On Princess Diana's first foreign tour to Australia and New

58
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:34.280
Zealand in nineteen eighty three, she was just twenty one

59
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.840
and traveling with a ten month old Prince William. At

60
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:41.199
the time, the couple faced significant anti royal sentiment, including

61
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.800
from then Australia Prime Minister Bob Hawk, who famously did

62
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.879
not bow to the couple when they arrived. Historian Robert

63
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:51.400
Lacey recounted in his book Battle of Brothers that Hawk

64
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:56.120
initially dismissed the royal visit as unimportant, but later praised Diana,

65
00:03:56.400 --> 00:04:01.039
whose charm won over the Australian public. Dianae popularity during

66
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.280
the tour was undeniable, with large crowds gathering to see

67
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:07.280
her at every stop. One photographer described how the streets

68
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.840
of Sydney were filled with people eager to catch a

69
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.280
glimpse of the princess. However, not everyone was charmed by

70
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:17.000
the royals. One protester even mooned Charles and Diana in

71
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.920
New Zealand, an act described in a confidential report by

72
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:25.000
then New Zealand High Commissioner Sir Richard Stratton. Despite the challenges,

73
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.279
the tour brought Diana and Charles closer, with the couple

74
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.680
frequently seen holding hands. Prince William meanwhile stayed with his

75
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.720
nanny at a sheep station in New South Wales, where

76
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.639
he crawled for the first time during the tour, a

77
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:42.560
special moment both parents were able to witness more palace

78
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:48.879
in just a moment. Mike Tyndall, who celebrated his forty

79
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:52.199
six birthday yesterday, has become a trusted member of the

80
00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.759
royal families in a circle, but his early antics raised

81
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.959
a few eyebrows. One memorable moment was his wild stat

82
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.879
do in Florida in twenty eleven, just weeks before marrying

83
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.319
Zara Phillips. The former England rugby player made headlines for

84
00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:11.120
racking up a staggering twenty thousand dollars bar tab during

85
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.519
a night out at Miami's Live nightclub. Reflecting on the event,

86
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.160
Mike said, I got ripped. They got stuck into me

87
00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:19.879
after I got back from my stag too. When it

88
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:23.120
was the Duke's ninetieth because it was in the papers.

89
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:27.519
Tyndall's extravagant night included champagne, vodka ticular and bottles of

90
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.680
high end liquor, all delivered by scantily clad waitresses. Onlookers

91
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.480
described the group's night as wild, with the boys dancing

92
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.439
on tables and receiving attention from attractive women throughout the evening.

93
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:41.199
The festivities continued over the weekend, with an eight hour

94
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:45.199
pool Sayde drinking session and a lively competitive drinking game

95
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.319
that even included his brother in law, Peter Phillips. Despite

96
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.279
the boisterous weekend, Mike returned to London with a smile

97
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.759
and went on to marry Zara in a more low

98
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:58.560
key private ceremony than William and Kate's lavish wedding earlier

99
00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.920
that years. An interview promoting his upcoming book, The Good,

100
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.000
the Bad and the Rugby Unleashed, Tindall reflected on his

101
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.959
royal marriage, saying, believe it or not, marrying into the

102
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.160
royal family was pretty easy for me. They were always

103
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:16.519
nice to me and I was always nice to them. Simple, really, Megan,

104
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.560
are you listening? Mike Tindall has become a down to

105
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.560
earth and lighthearted member with the royal family, building a

106
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.680
close relationship with Prince William. Since Prince Harry and Meghan

107
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.000
moved to the US, Tindall and William's bond has grown stronger,

108
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.439
often displayed through their in jokes and Tyndall's presence at

109
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:35.560
key royal events. Earlier this year, Mike and his wife

110
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:39.079
Sarah joined William at the King's Garden Party at Buckingham Palace,

111
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:43.879
charming guests and keeping the atmosphere. Late known for his humor,

112
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.319
Tindall even joked with guests about never being arrested despite

113
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.920
having received a driving band for drink driving in two

114
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.360
thousand and eight after a day at Cheltenham. His easy

115
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.839
going nature has made him a hit with the future King,

116
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.879
who appreciates Tyndall's ability to cut through the roll stuffiness.

117
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.959
One of Tyndall's cheeky moments includes revealing his nickname for

118
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.120
William one Pint Willie, on his podcast The Good the

119
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.399
Bad of the Rugby, because he's not the best of drinkers.

120
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:14.680
William took it in stride, later joking Mike, when you

121
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.319
say you're not going to mention anyone's nicknames, that doesn't

122
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:21.839
mean you can then mention mine, that's not fair. Although

123
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:24.879
it's only October, Queen Mary of Denmark is already embracing

124
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:29.040
the holiday spirit by unveiling the twenty twenty four Christmas

125
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:33.279
stamp at Copenhagen City Hall. This cherished tradition, now in

126
00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.000
its one hundred and seventeenth year, features a fresh design

127
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.439
each season, and this year's stamp honors Denmark's new king

128
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.759
and Queen. The stamp plans the nation's history with a

129
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:47.560
modern touch, including Viking ships, the Danish constitution, and ruins

130
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.920
from the Jelling Stones. Notably, it also highlights Denmark in

131
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:55.439
twenty twenty four, featuring astronaut Andreas Mogensen and references to

132
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.480
the country's climate. A drawing of the royal family running

133
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.879
symbolizes King fredrick annual run, tying the royals into this

134
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:06.920
festive tribute. The Christmas stamp tradition begins with Aina Holbel,

135
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:10.560
who aimed to raise funds for sick children, with proceeds

136
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:13.800
and now supporting Ulla Mark and Fonden, a charity that

137
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.000
helps children and teens struggling with mental health and bullying.

138
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:21.120
The Danish royal family has long supported this initiative with

139
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:24.959
Queen Margreta even designing the stamp on three occasions during

140
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:30.439
her reign. I look forward to your pronunciation emails. Meanwhile,

141
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:32.879
King Harold the Fifth and Queen Sonja of Norway are

142
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:36.799
making plans for where they'll eventually rest together. The royal

143
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:39.000
couple is working on the design of their joint tomb,

144
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.240
though the project is still in the early stages. This

145
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:47.120
significant detail was revealed through Norway's government budget proposal, which

146
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:50.559
set aside twenty million Norwegian kroner roughly one point eighty

147
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.159
six million US dollars for the royal tombs. The final

148
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:57.240
resting place will be at acker House Fortress, where King

149
00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:01.039
Harold's parents, King Olave the fifth and Crown Martha, as

150
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.000
well as his grandparents, King Hearken the seventh and Queen

151
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:06.799
mort are also buried. The joint tomb will continue a

152
00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:09.879
tradition of royal couples being laid to rest together, although

153
00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.080
the specific design of the sarcophagus is yet to be finalized.

154
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:16.440
King Harold, now eighty seven, is nearly the thirty fourth

155
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:21.039
anniversary of his reign, and these preparations reflect the inevitability

156
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:26.759
of royal duties extending even to planning for eternity and

157
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.600
