00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:16.359
Ah Callaroga Shark Media, Hello and
welcome through Palace Intrigue. I am your

2
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:21.920
host, Mark Francis. Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle have earned the nickname the

3
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:27.679
Uninvitables among their friends after being snubbed
from various key social events in recent years.

4
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:33.159
A source close to the couple's London
social circle mentioned that high society is

5
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:39.159
deliberately excluding the Sussexs from guest lists
out of fear of social repercussions. Harry

6
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.679
and Meghan are being left off guest
lists for friends' weddings and other events due

7
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:47.439
to their estrangement from the royal family. The source explained there is genuine fear

8
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:51.159
that if the Sussexses are invited to
a wedding or a christening, it could

9
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:54.399
leave that family excluded from the social
circuit, which would be one of the

10
00:00:54.439 --> 00:01:00.320
biggest faux pas imaginable. They have
been called the Uninvitables by friends. Earlier

11
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:02.960
this year, it was reported that
Prince Harry and Meghan were excluded from the

12
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.359
guest list for his lifelong friend Hugh
Grovener's wedding to Olivia Henson. Prince Harry

13
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.879
declined his save the date invitation after
learning that his brother, Prince William was

14
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.640
set to take a leading role.
William ended up being an usher at the

15
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:21.439
wedding held at Chester Cathedral on June
seventh, which reportedly left Harry fuming.

16
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:26.239
There was very much a sense of
confusion over whether Harry was uninvited or turned

17
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.319
it down because William had been asked
to be an usher, said the source.

18
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:33.799
Either way, Harry was fuming.
He had also been a close friend

19
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:38.000
of Hughes for many years and they
even went traveling to Africa together. Additionally,

20
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.760
the Sussexes are supposedly not invited to
join the rest of the royal family

21
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.840
at Balmoral this summer. According to
a well placed source, they were left

22
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.840
off the official guest list for the
firm's August summit to allow King Charles and

23
00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:56.719
Princess Kate to enjoy family time after
a challenging year. GB News as Patrick

24
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:01.280
Christie's suggested to royal expert Kinsey Schofield
that h and m surely use the grandkids

25
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:07.239
as a way back into the picture
with Charles. Chofield said if Harry did

26
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:09.400
want a way back, he could
use the excuse that despite his personal beef

27
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.719
with King Charles, he wants his
children to have a relationship with their grandfather.

28
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.520
It would be the perfect way back, wouldn't it. Royal expert Hannah

29
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:22.120
Furness told a Right Royal podcast there
is quite a heavy narrative that Megan and

30
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.560
the children won't be coming back until
they can resolve this security issue to their

31
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:31.400
liking, but Harry will certainly be
coming and going. King Charles or Toba

32
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:37.479
trek to Australia and Samoa has been
significantly shortened to just ten days, down

33
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.280
from the originally planned three weeks.
According to The Daily Beast. While the

34
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:46.039
trip indicates Charles's managing his cancer treatment
well, it also highlights that the reigning

35
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.159
monarch has limitations despite his efforts.
There has been a lot of debate in

36
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.439
the Palace about how much Charles should
be doing. There are plenty of people

37
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.199
who think a long haul foreign tour
is unwise when you have cancer, and

38
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.080
insider told the Outlet, But ultimately
the deseass are coming from the top and

39
00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:04.199
the problem is he knows that if
he doesn't do a trip to Australia as

40
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:07.840
King now, it would probably never
happen. Charles travel plans were confirmed in

41
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:13.919
a statement by Buckingham Palace, where
a spokesperson revealed that the trip would no

42
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.000
longer extend to New Zealand due to
his doctor's orders. The fact that Charles

43
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:23.000
is still attending, albeit for a
shorter duration, suggests his health is stable

44
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:28.319
enough for the visit. Australia is
a very important country to him. It's

45
00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:31.800
no secret that there are Republican rumblings
down under and he wants to do everything

46
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:35.719
he can to keep the Aussies on
board. A friend of Charles told The

47
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.439
Daily Beast, but it's clear he
wouldn't be going unless he was on the

48
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:44.000
mend and his doctors thought he could
handle it. It's a hugely encouraging sign.

49
00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:47.080
When asked if the removal of New
Zealand from charles itinerary hinted at deeper

50
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:52.719
health issues, the friend responded,
I think that would be a churlish interpretation.

51
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.639
He has been very open about having
cancer. It is absolutely plain to

52
00:03:55.639 --> 00:04:01.039
see that he is doing really well. Quotes come amid previous reports that Charles

53
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:05.599
has been in denial over his packed
schedule. Sources indicated that Fiji was also

54
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.560
supposed to be part of the tour, though it was not mentioned. Upon

55
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.800
confirming his Australian visit and his absence
from New Zealand. Following the announcement,

56
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:16.240
the Palace noted that Charles and Camilla
sent their warmest thanks and good wishes to

57
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:23.079
all parties for their continued support and
understanding, and Insider added, it's very

58
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:26.000
sad about New Zealand, but I
think it's just the reality of trying to

59
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:30.879
work while being treated for cancer.
You can't do everything Palace and trigger it

60
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:39.120
right back. We have a two
star review that came in on Apple Podcasts.

61
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:45.120
Retitle this podcast. This podcast should
be called I Hate Harry and Megan

62
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:49.040
with the Intensity of Three Red Hot
Burning Sons. Well, Anonymous, I

63
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:57.360
really love that title too. Maybe
there's a spinoff there somewhere. Brian Made,

64
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.800
the guitarist from Queen, whose hits
include Bohemian Rhapsodeato and Stopped Me Now

65
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:05.040
and Three Red Hot Burning Sons,
celebrated his birthday recently, which gave the

66
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:10.240
tabloids the chance to dust off this
story on a very slow newsday. May

67
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:14.720
had previously criticized Prince Harry and Prince
William, expressing his disapproval of their actions.

68
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.839
The guitarists once stated that he felt
sickond by their behavior, comparing it

69
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:24.040
to nineteenth century supporters of slavery.
May's comments came after reports surfaced of the

70
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:31.040
princes participating in hunting trips just weeks
before pledging to protect Africa's critically endangered wildlife.

71
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:34.240
In twenty fourteen, the royal brothers
returned from a trip where they reportedly

72
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:39.040
shot wild boar and stags on the
state of William's godfather, the Duke of

73
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:43.160
Westminster, in Cordoba, Spain.
Photos of Harry standing over the body of

74
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:46.639
water buffalo, smiling and holding a
gun further few of the controversy at the

75
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.680
time, May remarked, it made
me feel sick. This is right at

76
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:54.240
the heart of the problem we are
looking at in this government. It's the

77
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:58.759
whole attitude of the privileged classes.
You can rescue rhinos and elephants in Africa,

78
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:00.959
but kill at will a thing you
want if you're rich. It's not

79
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:05.279
logical, justifiable or humane, and
is the same as people in the nineteenth

80
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:11.160
century trained to justify slavery. May's
remarks came shortly after William pledged to destroy

81
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:16.279
all twelve thousand ivory artifacts in Buckingham
Palace to send a message to illegal elephant

82
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:21.360
poaches. This collection included valuable items
such as a throne from India that belonged

83
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:26.519
to Queen Victoria. In twenty twenty, it was reported that Prince Harry gave

84
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.839
up hunting after marrying Megan Markel,
selling his handmade rifles worth fifty thousand pounds

85
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:36.079
before moving to North America. However, Prince William continued the family's hunting tradition

86
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.319
and faced criticism for taking his son
Prince George, to shoot grouse at Balmoral

87
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:46.399
when he was just seven years old. The Paley Center for Media will honor

88
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.759
Taylor Perry at its Peally Honours Gala
on December fourth in Beverly Hills. The

89
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.639
event, held at the Beverly Willshare
Hotel, will celebrate Perry's extensive career as

90
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.160
an actor, writer, director,
producer, studio owner, and philanthropists.

91
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.560
The Paley Center has enlisted some of
Perry's closest friends and colleagues for its Paily

92
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.720
Honors Tribute host Committee. This includes
Harry and Meghan. Perry is the godfather

93
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.920
to their daughter, Lillabert, and
offered his house to the couple after their

94
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.759
exit from the royal family. We're
aware that we've been talking an awful lot

95
00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:17.720
about Harry and Megan lately, but
with Kate making just two appearances since Christmas,

96
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.680
there hasn't been much else to stir
the Royal watchers. As an example,

97
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.480
the paper's got all the way down
the Royalist to writing a fluff piece

98
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:30.279
about Zara Tindall US Weekly Sourced and
Insider, revealing that Zara is also very

99
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:32.800
close to Charles and there has been
a huge help to both him and William

100
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:36.480
during his awful year. Zara has
been a breath of fresh air. She's

101
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:42.399
loved by the public. She's fun
and unpretentious. Zara's husband, Rugby aicon,

102
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.000
Mike Tindall, also shares a close
bond with Prince William, fostered by

103
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.360
their mutual love of sports. Last
month, Zara and Mike, along with

104
00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:54.000
their children, joined Prince William,
George and Princess Charlotte at the Taylor Swift

105
00:07:54.040 --> 00:07:59.560
Eira's concert in London. Isn't that
all exciting? You can see where Harry

106
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:05.839
and Meghan are. The uninvitables might
be a little better for downloads and they
