Tim Dillon Roasts Meghan Markle as Australia Trip Sparks Fresh Backlash

0:00 Ah Calorogus Shark Media, Allow and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis. Comedian Tim Dillon has taken aim at Meghan Markel's post royal career, suggesting her attempt to build a lifestyle brand has not landed as intended. Speaking on the podcast hosted by Dana Carvey and David Spade, Dylan said, I think Megan will eventually find her way into some type of talk show because she's failed at the Martha Stuart route, which she wanted. She was slinging Jam in target. She wanted to have a lifestyle brand. Spade added Jam was an interesting choice. It's probably an uncrowded market. Other than Welch's, I can't think of too many.

0:43 Dylan went on to suggest a change in direction maybe needed, saying she definitely needs to adjust her strategy. I could also see her going back to the UK and saying let's give it another go. He was also critical of her on screen persona, arguing that audiences did not connect with it. Dylan said, I think we're a little tired of her stick here. I don't think it worked as well as she thought it would. I think people got a little turned off by that, describing her approach as coming across to some viewers as a little condescending. Dylan has previously explained why he frequently references Meghan in his comedy, saying I think it's just that she came to prominence at the time when there was a real cultural cachet to being a victim, and she found a way to be a victim while living in a castle. He also briefly commented on Prince Harry, saying Harry seems like he's kind of been led around and he kind of doesn't know what's going on. It's probably all an adventure for him, right.

1:34 The Duchess of Sussex has been the subject of online reaction after a video from her recent visit to Australia circulated on social media. The clip shows Megan and Harry walking along Bondai Beach during an engagement with volunteer first responders, while a woman dubbed the Unbothered Queen of Bondai nearby appeared to remain sunbathing as the group passed and walked around her. The video prompted a range of responses online. One commenter wrote, Australians are not obsessed with anyone. Another said why would you just walk over the top of someone like that? Others be acted more lightheartedly, with one writing she was not bothered, not moved, while another added she is just brilliant. A report in The Daily Beast claims that former staff members of Megan Markle have made critical remarks about their experiences working with her. Footage circulating widely on social media appears to show Meghan reacting to an interaction involving a member of Prince Harry's team. The clip prompted commentary from journalist Tom Sykes, who said former employees told him it revived memories of their time working for the Duchess. One former staff member was quoted as saying it gives me PTSD, while another described the moment as classic Megan, smiling to the public on one side of her face and glowering at you on the secret side where she thinks she is unobserved. Meghan is facing criticism over reported plans to launch a fashion line inspired by the style of Diana, Princess of Wales. A fashion industry source tells Radar Online Megan has been consciously leaning into visual cues associated with Diana for some time now, and that classic white shirt and Denham combination has become

3:05 almost shorthand for that connection. It's a deceptively simple look, but it carries the same mix of confidence and accessibility that made Diana so widely admired. However, the reported plans have drawn criticism from some quarters. One inside has said there is a growing perception in some quarters that this approach feels highly strategic to say the least. Diana's image is not only iconic but deeply emotional for many people, and translating that into commercial product inevitably raises eyebrows. Speaking on Talk TV broadcast to Kevin O'Sullivan and Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield were highly critical of the Duchess and Prince Harry. O'Sullivan criticized the structure of the Australia trip, describing it as weird and suggesting it consisted of what he called the usual pr pictures. Referring to a separate ticketed event, he said people paid seventeen hundred British pounds to attend this event. She turned up, spent two hours there and then left. That's how ages, isn't it. Chofield added, Meghan doesn't want to do the hard stuff. She wants to get hundreds of thousands of dollars for a post on Instagram, Chofield alleged that Meghan's appearances alongside vulnerable individuals, including children at Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital and victims of the Bondai Beach attack, coincided with promotion of her involvement in a fashion platform. She said, she's using these victims and ill children to sell her clothing for a commission. It's the most vile thing I've ever seen in my life. You can't guarantee that some of those children will be here in a few years, and there's Megan using their presence to sell her wardrobe. The listing, which included links to purchase individual items, has been taken down and replaced with

4:38 a different image of the Duchess from earlier in the day. Royal commentator Richard Palmer said this is perhaps the starkest example yet of Harry and Meghan's efforts to commercialize their Royal brand. I think this will have alarm bells ringing at the Palace more in just a moment. A report claims Meghan has been attempting to rebuild tires with Netflix executives. However, an unnamed source tells Radar Online to summit comes off as too much and honestly, it's not working. If anything, it's becoming annoying, but Meghan believes it's necessary. In her mind, this is how you repair and secure a relationship. Another source added its constant cards gifts deeply personal messages. She's making sure they feel valued, remembered and appreciated. Another report from Radar Online claims that Megan was not included on the guest list for this year as Matt Gala. Unnamed sources suggest the Duchess will still convince to invite his coming, despite indications she and Prince Harry had not been invited to the event, which is scheduled for May fourth and is overseen by Anna win Tour, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, denied that Megan was upset by any perceived snub. Prince Harry may be preparing for a very different next chapter, one that moves beyond memoir and into the world of self help. According to rob Shooters, Naughty but Nice sources claim the Duke of Sussex has developed a serious interest in psychology, with insiders suggesting it could shape his next project. Harry isn't dabbling, he's all in.

6:04 One insider says he's studying how the mind works, and of course, how his works. Those close to him suggest a new book could be on the horizon, with one source saying, don't be shocked off its self help. I think he's cracked a few life lessons and wants to share them. He's turned his struggles into a brand. Another insider adds now he wants to turn it into a guide. While critics may question the move, those around him and says the Duke is sincere in his approach. He genuinely believes he's onto something. The source says, whether everyone else does another story. He's moving from telling his story to teaching lessons, ready or not. In the Daily Mail, Jan Moyer called Harry a haunted prince with no purpose. An ex serviceman, he obviously means well, his heart is in the right place. Harry is a military veteran who served his country for ten years. Captain Wyales of the Blues and Royals did two tours in Afghanistan. And that is not nothing. That is indeed a very big something. Despite the good intense. There is something so sad and lost about it all. I imagine unknown hands packing his medals into his suitcase for this zippity doodar on an Australian tour which the Prince has insisted is private and not public.

7:11 Yet here he is behaving like some ghostly royal and exile the Prince without a purpose for the benefit of the cameras. Instead of looking like a man being tribute, he just looks utterly lost, haunting. In the Express, Lauren Welch has some advice for the sussexes. In my opinion, Megan could try to distance herself from the constant comparisons by leaning into Instagram more. In doing this, she would become more distinctive online than her husband, a choice she alone can make, because Harry has no social media at all. Typically, when the Prince and Princess of Wales visit abroad, their social media feeds are flooded with pictures taken by professional outlets. Megan, on the other hand, could share more personal shots and videos from the trip and really step into her influencer mindset.
