The Rest Is Entertainment takes jab at Meghan Markle

0:03 Calorouga Shark Media. Hello and welcome through Palace Intrigue. I'm your host, Mark Francis. The launch of Megan Minkl's new lifestyle brand, as Ever, has inadvertently stirred some confusion, as the name has long been associated with a vintage inspired New York business founded over a decade ago by Mark Kolski. Despite the situation, Kolski tells The New York Times he has no immediate plans for legal action, though he consulted his brother, an attorney, on the matter. He's not an intellectual property lawyer, but he did say, you know you have some rights based on your established business. While Kolski acknowledged that trademark protection could potentially be an avenue, he emphasized that he is not interested in mounting a legal challenge unless a direct conflict impacts his business. Right now, underting back to work, and I'm trying to keep the awareness on my brand. If any conflict eventually arises that affects my business, I'll evaluate that then. Moreover, he was quick to dispel any notion of animosity towards Meghan, countering media speculation of a brewing dispute. What it feels like is out there. People are making comments in the media.

1:12 They want to create a rift between us, but there isn't. He clarified. I haven't talked to them, they haven't talked to me. There's no battle going on. According to Bella magazine, the Prince and Princess of Wales's friends have reportedly found Megan Markle's new business name rather amusing, so much so they've privately dubbed it as if as in as if it will take off. One supposed friend of the couple claimed the announcement that sparked considerable laughter within their social circle. It's caused quite a bit of laughter within the group. WhatsApp messages have been going back and forth, they revealed. The source went on to describe the rebranding effort as very budget and rushed, adding embarrassing. Really. Meanwhile, author Richard Osman and journalist Marina Hired have voiced their skepticism over Meghan's latest business announcement, offering a rather pointed critique on the Rest Is Entertainment podcast. Hid took aim at Meghan's Instagram reveal, remarking she cleaned in that little Instagram video in that little I'm so excited to share this with you way. I always feel that if someone says I'm so excited to share this with you, that whatever comes next will be appalling. Osmond followed up with his own riot take, adding, if you have to say I am excited and you know you are not, because you should show that you're excited. I mean, just talking, you could say, oh my god, she looks really excited. But if you have to say me, I'm excited, well you think tell your face love. The Daily Mail, Amanda Patel wrote about the ticking time bomb that could blow up under Meghan Markele and derail her new rebrand. Amanda writes, is it a coincidence that, almost a week before the delayed Netflix launch of the Duchess of Sussex's new Make or Break

2:45 with Love Meghan lifestyle series, the couple's former Royal aid Jason Knolf, has spoken out in an interview for the first time. Whatever the case, that he has talked in public, it all suggests he might be a ticking time bomb that could one day detonate under Megan's self appointed dulousness. The question is why did the Palace never publish the bullying investigation, particularly when Prince Philip nicknamed Megan the Duchess of Windsor in a barbed remark with a wealth of subtext. According to royal biographer Ingrid Seward, almost certainly because at the time the future King Charles and his ailing mother, the late Queen, were desperate to keep the fragile peace between the Sussexes and the Royals. It's surely why the dossier was buried. Trouble is that, as we have learned from the royals previous attempts to keep their messy personal lives secret, Charles at fair with Camilla, Diana's affair with James Hewitt ticking time bombs that have a habit of exploding in their faces when least expected. Inside his belief, it is inconceivable that Nouf, who worked happily with William and Kate, would have spoken on TV without the very least William's tacit agreement, especially as in his interview, Nolf is full of praise for Prince William, saying the terrible breakdown of his relationship with Harry that William was both hard and sad, adding rather scorchingly that he had chosen to be private about it as proof of Jason Nelf's integrity and closeness to Prince William. After mekes it, he went on to become a special adviser to him and Kate, and then the Chief executive of the Royal Foundation, the charitable arm of their official operations. He was also made a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order by the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle in twenty twenty three, telling

4:17 Lee saying that it was the honor of his lifetime to work for the Prince and Princess of Wales. Yet, for all his closeness to Prince William, Jason now remains the keeper of perhaps the most devastating secrets of modern Royal history. He knows about Meghan's alleged bullying of two women at a time when she was parading herself as a feminist. He could turn out to be a ticking time bomb for a self appointed Saint Megan. The bomb hasn't exploded yet, but it might one day, and not a moment too soon. Palace Intriguer it right back, her Majesty, Queen Camilla has welcomed a new addition to the Royal household, an eight week old rescue puppy named Molly. While visiting Canterbury for an engagement celebrating the city's literary and artistic heritage.

5:00 The Queen revealed the news while stroking a guide dog named Ferriggie. I've just got a new puppy. He's eight weeks old, she told guide dog owner Susan Mason, before laughing when asked about his breed. You may well ask a bit of everything. It's a rescue dog. It's called Moley. It looks just like a mole. Mowley comes to the Queen from Battersea Dog and Cat's Home, continuing her long standing support for rescue animals. Camilla's deep affection for dogs has been well documented, particularly through her beloved Jack Russell's Beth and Bluebell. Beth, who was adopted from Battersea in twenty eleven, sadly passed away last November after developing an untreatable tumor. The loss was deeply felt, with Camilla shearing at the time how Beth had been moved from pillar to post and dumped before finding a home with her.

5:43 Blue Bell, also a rescue was found wandering the woods in a severely malnourished state, but was nursed back to health and became Beth's loyal companion. The two dogs made history in twenty twenty as the first rescue dogs to take up residence in Buckingham Palace. They also featured in a memorable photograph celebrating Charles and Camilla's fie fifteenth whenning anniversary at Burkehall, and even had their likenesses and embroidered into Camilla's coronation gown. The Queen's visit to Canterbury was marked by another historic moment, as she unveiled a life sized bronze statue of Afra Ben, the trail blazing seventeenth century writer often credited as England's first professional female author. She also visited the Beanie House of Art and Knowledge, where she engaged with a partially sighted museum group and in true form, made a bee line for yet another guide dog, Ralph. He looks very happy, she observed, before adding he can probably smell my dogs. Molly now joins the ranks of Royal keen Ane companions past and present, continuing a long tradition of dog loving monarchs. King Charles too has a fondness for Jack Russell's, having owned several throughout his life, including his cherished Tigt, who lived to the grand age of eighteen. A willow and bronze wire sculpture of Tigger still stands in the gardens of Highgrove in tribute. Interestingly, Tigger's daughter Pooh ran off into the trees in nineteen ninety four and was never found. Though Mollie may be of indeterminate breed, he has already secured a place in the royal family's rich history of four legged friends, joining a lineage of devoted and much loved Royal dogs.
