Callarogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I'm
2
00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:17.440
your host, Mark Francis. Meghan explained the deep secret code
3
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.559
that led to the nicknames M and H during last
4
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:25.039
week's podcast Adventures. The cooking show host explained, probably at
5
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.679
the beginning of us dating, when everything was in code,
6
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:31.039
as she said, referring to their dating stage in twenty sixteen,
7
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:34.799
when they had to keep things under wraps. People didn't
8
00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:37.479
know we were dating so long ago. I mean it
9
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:40.039
will be our seven year wedding anniversary soon. I couldn't
10
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.840
tell anyone who I was dating and who was keeping
11
00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:44.840
the secret, so I think we were just on a
12
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:48.679
letter basis. I like it. I love nicknames, Michael said,
13
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.119
adding that she and Harry now use the nicknames even
14
00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:55.520
when they're around their friends. Harry will honor the legacy
15
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:57.960
of his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales by taking
16
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.880
part in a special conversation at the Knowledge twenty twenty
17
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.040
five conference on May sixth. The event, hosted by the
18
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:09.120
CEO of the Diana Award, doctor Tessi Ojo, will see
19
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.599
h spotlight the change makers of Tomorrow as the organization
20
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:17.439
launches its new pledge to invest initiative. The Diana Award
21
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:19.680
remains the only charity that bears the name of Princess
22
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.400
Diana and is supported by both Prince Harry and his brother,
23
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.079
Prince William, a rare point of ongoing cooperation between the two.
24
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.000
Some media seemed concerned that Harry would miss Archie's birthday,
25
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.799
which is that same day. But we're betting Harry we'll
26
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:35.439
find a way to get from Montecito to Las Vegas
27
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:39.400
before the welcome reception at five pm. Google tells us
28
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.040
a private jet flight from L eight to Vegas typically
29
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.159
costs between fifty five hundred and sixty four hundred dollars
30
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.000
for a very light jet. That flight time is usually
31
00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:50.359
around forty five minutes to an hour. As for the
32
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:54.159
environmental impact, take that up with Harry. The Daily Mail
33
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.280
picked up on Megan discussing juggling parenting and work, but
34
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.719
also having a nanny as one does. Dagan had told
35
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:04.079
Jamie kern Alema, this morning was different because Archie has
36
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.680
a cold, so he's home from school. But I get
37
00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:08.719
up at six point thirty. Gives me a minute to
38
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:11.080
I wish I could say I woke up and meditated.
39
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:13.280
I don't do that. I have the monitors on SID
40
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.120
I could hear both the kids. They get up at seven,
41
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:17.919
so I give myself a little bit of time to
42
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.800
either put on workout clothes, brush my teeth, get both
43
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.840
of them up, I get them dressed, get them downstairs,
44
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.080
make breakfast, and then if I haven't done their lunch
45
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:30.240
boxes the night before, then do that. I love doing lunchboxes.
46
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.319
It makes me very happy and writing a little note
47
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.879
in their lunchboxes. If I don't have meetings in the morning,
48
00:02:34.960 --> 00:02:38.080
then I try to do school drop off. There are
49
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.439
two different schools, so that's a big circuit. So from
50
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:42.560
six thirty in the morning on drop off mornings for me,
51
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:45.120
I'm not home till nine, and then after that I'll
52
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.439
just jump into meetings. And then on other days I'll
53
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.000
wake up and get them all step and then our
54
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.520
amazing nanny who's been with us for five years, she'll
55
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:56.840
take them to school for us. The very relatable in
56
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.759
Touch Megan continues to be active on Instagram, offering followers
57
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.919
up he can have flourishing garden. The first clip shows
58
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:05.879
the Duchess descending a set of garden steps carrying a
59
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.400
large wicker basket brimming with freshly cut white roses. End
60
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.599
of day harvest, read the caption accompanying the serene footage.
61
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:17.719
The next segment captured a more lighthearted moment. Megan, juggling
62
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.560
two overflowing baskets, one with blossoms, the other with oranges,
63
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.599
was visibly struggling under the weight, while Prince Harry, chuckling
64
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.400
behind the camera, filmed the scene. After placing the baskets
65
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:31.960
down on the grass, Meghan shared two more snippets, and
66
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:34.280
one a close up of the roses had set against
67
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.159
the charming backdrop of her black labrador Pula follicking nearby.
68
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.919
In the final clip, her beagle Mamma Mere seen sniffing
69
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.759
inquisitively around baskets filled with oranges and strawberries. A beautiful
70
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.000
end to the day, she wrote. The family's recent posts
71
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:52.240
mark a noticeable increase in personal content from the touches.
72
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.400
Longtime royal observers may remember that Harry left the UK
73
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:57.919
to get away from paparazzi and seemed to have made
74
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.560
it his life's mission to take on the press. You
75
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.960
can follow Meghan at Meghan. Carol Malone writes in The Express,
76
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.159
Once upon a time there was a pretend princess called
77
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:13.719
Meghan who lives in an enchanted land. It's a beautiful, wretch,
78
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.560
glittering land where Meghan rolls supreme and everything is perfect
79
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.759
her most of all. In Meghanland, the sun always shines,
80
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.199
the flowers are always in full bloom, and she is
81
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.680
the Cinderella like wife and mother who is adored, admired,
82
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:31.399
and fawned over by everyone who visits her Montecito palace.
83
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.920
But make no mistake. In Meghan's land, a land that
84
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:38.920
exists only inside her head, only her truth matters, and
85
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:41.439
Meghan's truth is that she is and will always be
86
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:45.560
her Royal Highness. Never mind that she actually isn't any more.
87
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.120
Never mind the fact that she and her dopey prince
88
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.360
made a solemn promise to a real Queen, Elizabeth the Second,
89
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.160
to never use the HRH title before they flounced off
90
00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:58.759
to America to monetize their new found position. Does she
91
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:02.360
not understand how hill, desperate and insecure she looks in
92
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.360
the eyes of those people who know that using the
93
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:10.000
HRH title is just an ego centric affectation to make
94
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:13.000
her seem more relevant, more important than she actually is.
95
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:15.839
Or does she think her friends are also dumb that
96
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.319
they won't know the agreement she and Harry made with
97
00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.279
Queen Elizabeth back in twenty twenty never to use the
98
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.680
title the quote of the Week when to a former
99
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.319
courtier source by The Daily Beast and Cosmo was saying,
100
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.759
William loathes and despises Harry and Meghan with every bone
101
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.040
in his body. He believes they have betrayed everything the
102
00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:36.519
family stands for, and the idea that they are using
103
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.040
their royal status as a calling card will enrage him
104
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:46.399
more balance it just the moment. The Daily Mail reported
105
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.560
a Brazilian psychic known as the Living Nostrodamis has issued
106
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:53.600
a striking prediction regarding the British royal family. Athos Solome
107
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.120
claims a major event, likely linked to the health of
108
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:00.319
a senior royal, is set to unfold between late twenty
109
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:04.000
twenty five and early twenty twenty six. Notably, he foresees
110
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.399
a symbolic return to the United Kingdom by Prince Harry,
111
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.079
a move that could mark a tentative thawing of relations
112
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.560
with King Charles and Princess Eugenie. However, any reconciliation, according
113
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:17.519
to Salome, will stop short of full repair. Prince William
114
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:19.959
is said to remain a fracture point, with no genuine
115
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:23.160
mending of ties between the brothers. To the public eye,
116
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:25.879
the relationship between the Sussexes and the British royal family
117
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.600
seems like an endless cycle of tension. The psychic remarked
118
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:33.720
that karmic family thread will begin to unravel between late
119
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.839
twenty twenty five and early twenty six. Looking to the
120
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.319
longer term, Salame suggests the true healing will come not
121
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.160
through the current generation, but the next. He predicts the
122
00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:46.439
children of Prince and Princess of Wales will eventually bridge
123
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.040
the divide with Archie and Lilibet, but not four years
124
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:52.800
of distance and division. There's too much entangled calma, He said,
125
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.279
this is not the time. Salome also turned his attention
126
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.639
to the Duchess of Sussex, forecasting a turbulent year ahead
127
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.120
for Mega. He predicts a growing rift between Megan and Netflix,
128
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:07.199
culminating in an eventual split, alongside continued challenges for her
129
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:12.079
lifestyle brand as Ever, which recently drew criticism over order cancellations.
130
00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:16.240
By late twenty twenty five, he envisions an avalanche of criticism,
131
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:20.800
possibly triggered by revelations from former staff or associates, leading
132
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:24.879
Meghan to retreat from the public eye throughout twenty twenty six. Yet,
133
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.519
according to Salome, she will emerge with a renewed focus
134
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.240
on women's mental health and gold's education, moving away from
135
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:35.759
lifestyle branding towards advocacy. Intriguingly, he also sees a return
136
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:38.399
to acting in Meghan's future, but not as one might expect.
137
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.680
Instead of Hollywood red carpets, he predicts an independent film
138
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:47.240
helmed by a renowned female director, possibly European or Iranian,
139
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:50.199
featuring Meghan in a role that mirrors her own life.
140
00:07:50.839 --> 00:07:53.279
A woman who abandons a life of privilege to rediscover
141
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:58.480
her essence, he said, a metaphor absolutely a confession, quite possibly.
142
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.519
Salome claims that his performance could place the Duchess on
143
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.680
the radar of film festivals such as carn or Venice
144
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:07.560
in twenty twenty seven. In the meantime, we'll make our
145
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.959
own predictions. Megan's Netflix series will be quietly canceled after
146
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:17.079
the burn of the already filmed episodes. Megan's podcast will
147
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:21.399
quietly go inactive without any formal announcement. Harry will visit
148
00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:23.800
the UK and not see Charles who will be busy,
149
00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:27.360
nor William who will be on vacation. Megan will not
150
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.360
join him. And there you have it. Like to email

I'm Mark Francis my thanks to John McDermott. This is

00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:44.360
Palace and Drinking. Good terms,
