0:03 Calorogus Shark Media, Hello and welcome through Pallace intrigue game host Bark Francis. Should the whole being King thing not work out, Prince William may already have his dream backup job lined up. Football pundit Wills was with George and Paris last week to watch Aston Villa face off against Paris Saint Germain in a Champions League clash. Speaking with T and T Sports Rip Ferdinand and Alan McCoist, Williams showed himself to be every inch the armchair tactician. Referring to Aston Villa manager Uni Emery, he analyzed the team's prospects against PSG, saying we all saw the Liverpool game.
0:47 PSG's intensity in the first leg. They were unbelievable. They gave a lot of pressure. They pressed very high. So for Uni tonight and team, it's about managing that press. The commentary drew admiration from Real Ferdinand, who laughed, do not go for a pundit's job, please, because they could be out of the game. He added, the way he just dissected that down, I'm going to nick that for later on. William who predicted a two to one win for Villa may have been overly optimistic. PSG won three to one, but the Royal remains undeterred in his support for the club. Speculation is mounting over just how influential Prince William may have been in Marcus Rashford's surprise January move to Aston Villa, after the two shared a warm embrace at the Park day Princess ahead of Villa's Champions League clash with PSG. A club inside had told Mail Online his passion for Villa goes way beyond that of a normal fan. He is obsessed with football and his team.
1:42 It is the same with England. The deep rooted devotion, coupled with the Prince of Wales's long standing rapport with Rashford, has ignited online chatter that William may have played a quiet role in encouraging the Manchester United Stars to join his beloved club. The pair's closeness is no recent development. William awarded Rashford an MB in twenty twenty one for his campaign to ensure vulnerable children received meals during school holidays in the pandemic. He also spoke out publicly in defense of the striker after he endured racist abuse. Further cementing their relationship. So when the Prince greeted Rashford in the tunnel in Paris with the words I missed you, it came as no surprise to fans who followed their history.
2:24 But that moment, caught on camera before kickoff, has only fueled rumors that William may have reached out to Rashford ahead of his loan switch. One source claimed it was hard to believe that William wouldn't have contacted Rashford if it had helped get the deal over the line. While there is no official suggestion that the Air the Throne medaled in club business, his regular appearances at training, close rapport with Villa players and hands on support of manager woulda emory have made it clear that this is not your average football fan. From the Supporters Club to the Sussex Survivors Club, a monica reportedly adopted by former staff who claimed to have been left emotionally scarred by their time in Harry and Meghan's service. According to Daily may Royal editor Rebecca English, this unofficial fraternity consists of aides who, in her words, lived to tell the tale. Some, she reports, were left in tears, others allegedly exhibited symptoms akin to post dramatic stress disorder. One person, she wrote, sobbed down the phone to me after a particularly harrowing day, emotionally broken and no longer able to cope. At the heart of these claims's a pattern of high staff turnover and allegations of bullying, all of which have been consistently and vehemently denied by the Sussexes. Melissa to Barty, a highly regarded personal assistant who had previously worked for Robbie Williams and Aida Field, reportedly resigned after just six months, with Royal biographer Robert Lacey recounting an episode involving custom red blankets that were disastrously the wrong shade. To Barti, he wrote,
3:54 was traumatized by her boss's behavior. Others who departed included Amy Pickerel, Meghanan's private secretary, who left shortly after the birth of Prince Archie in twenty nineteen, Heather Wong, who had once worked in the Obama administration, Edward Lane Fox, Prince Harry's longtime aide, and Jason Nouf, who went on to join Prince William's household and was later honored with a Royal Victorian Order Now, it should be noted, was the author of a formal HR complaint in twenty eighteen alleging that the Duchess had bullied two pas out of the household. In a televised interview earlier this year, Neelf declared that he wouldn't change anything about the decision to raise those concerns. The fallout prompted Buckingham Palace to open an internal review, the findings of which have never been made public. For her part, Meghan has consistently rejected the allegations.
4:43 Megan has made a surprising move into the six hundred billion dollar menopause market with a fresh investment in Midi Health, a virtual clinic focused on women's health after age thirty five. The California based startup raised sixty three million dollars in its latest funding round, and Megan joined the u high profile list of backers alongside Amy Schumer, Connie Britton, Tory Birch, and Cheryl Sandberg. According to Fortune and tech Crunch, Meghan's involvement aligns with her strategy of investing in female led companies. She's now backed over ten since moving to the US in twenty twenty. Her portfolio includes everything from coffee clever blends to clean beauty, eyebrow hippie, and she's now targeting health tech with Middy, which offers virtual visits priced at around one hundred and ninety two pounds for an initial appointment.
5:30 Fans are lighting up social media with accusations that Megan has been borrowing rather heavily from a few already established celebrities in shaping her latest ventures. Her new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, immediately raised eyebrows for sounding a touch too close to Stephen Bartlett's Diary of a CEO. One impressed ex user called it the same name plus a thesaurus, and added, we're supposed to believe you're a female founder. You can't even found an original name for a podcast. Meanwhile, compared Essen to Gwyneth Paltrow were heating up. Fans uploaded side by sides to prove it when us equipped she's totally copying one of Gwyneth's early Goop videos, the Roasted Chicken one. Another added simply, oh my god.
6:11 Lemons and all fans also say Megan's Netflix show with Love Megan feels awfully similar to Pamela Anderson's Pamela's Cooking with Love side by side trailer comparisons have made the rounds, with one fan saying Pamela's version feels more authentic while Megan's is trying too hard. This week, on the TV series Elsbeth, things took a delightfully cheeky turn when our favorite redhead sleuth found herself outside a very posh funeral home in the middle of a murder investigation. As Carrie Preston's Elsbeth chatted with a photographer lingering outside. She asked if he was there for photos of the senator's family. His reply, family, no friends, Yes, rumor has it, Harrion Meghan are going to be here. A good shot of them will make my whole year. Elsbeth, ever polite, gave him her breezy good luck and carried on with her case.
6:58 Later in the episode, she bumped into the same fotographer again, this time no royal sightings. Family decided to cremate instead, he told her, which put an end to that tabloid dream. This isn't Elsbeth's first brush with Meghan related Mantera. Back in January, the show poked fun at wellness culture with a subtle nod to Montecito life during an episode investigating a suspect who ran a suspiciously holistic center. Megan wasn't named, but the fans certainly caught the vibe or palace. In just a moment in the Telegraph, Alan Cochran suggests it might soon be time to welcome Harry back into the royal family. Cochran writes, by any measure, he has behaved badly, very badly, even all on his own, he has made himself an outcast. Nobody else is really to blame for the situation in which he finds himself separated from the loving father who would still welcome him back into the fold, even if his elder brother is highly unlikely to feel the same way. However, as the rift between Prince Harry and the family of King Charles yawns even wider, could there be even the slightest chance of cutting some slack, and who knows, we might see the beginning of the end of Harry's war. Read again what he said during the court hearing. The UK is my home. The UK is central to the heritage of my children and a place I want them to feel at home, as much as where they live. At the moment in the US that cannot happen if it's not possible to keep them safe when they are on UK soil. If he loses this case before the Appeal Court, and it will be some time before we hear the judgment, it's expected that he will have to foot a substantial bill, which might
8:29 suggest that the act of throwing himself on the mercy of the court in this way indicates that he's now bored with what looks to many like the aimless life he leads in Los Angeles in a battle for public opinion. Once upon a time, Harry reigned Supreme and was the rascal royal that everyone loved. It is pastime for a reproachment in the House of windsor for that to happen, Harry must show he wants to be part of it. In the Daily Mail, Russell Meyer's writes, it's barely believable how far Harry has fallen from consistently being the most popular member of the royal family, owered by everyone from the lads in the pub to the troops he's served with and your granny, far from denying anyone the right to fight for what they believe in, especially when it comes to the safety and security of their family. But surely Harry realizes by now that his path of resistance against his family, the government, or generally anyone who has irged him that week is a tiring practice. His own father and brother have become so exasperated with his various crusades and petulant attitude that they have found it far more cathartic to cut all tires on any level. This is a sad state of affairs. In a parallel universe, Harry would have been front and center flying the flag for the UK in the monarchy, but now finds himself on a path increasingly difficult to turn back from, and they have it fled to email us, who addresses at the Palace Intrigue at gmail dot com.
