Tina Brown on Harry’s Lost Vision, Polo in Aspen, Kardashian Connections, and the Battle of the Watches Description

0:00 Ah Calorogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue Game, your host Mark Francis. Speaking on Katie Kirk's YouTube program, Tina Brown said she had lunch with primatologist Jane Goodall shortly before Goodall's death. Brown told Kurk that Goodall mentioned visiting Harry and Meghan after Archie's birth, describing herself as one of the only people outside the family that went to see Archie when he was born, and said that Harry introduced the baby saying this is my little African child. Brown went on to describe what she understood to be Harry's original vision for fatherhood and family life, adding it's going to be my child who essentially, you know, wild child.

0:49 Essentially they were going to have this time together, living a life off the grid as it were. She said she was absolutely stunned when he chose the life that he did. In the same appearance, Brown argued that Royal officials had long considered it possible Harry might step away from life inside the institution. In the same appearance, Brown argued that royal officials had long considered it possible Harry might step away from life inside the institution, but expected a very different outcome. Brown said, I'm told that the Queen always thought Harry would go off and want to be out of the royal family. Nobody expected him to go to Montecito and live the opposite of the off the grid life, which is the kind of celebrity life.

1:29 And I don't think that Harry thought he was going to do that either. Harry has made a surprise appearance in Colorado, traveling with friends for a polo getaway, while Meghan has offered her reaction from home. Harry was spotted competing at the World snow Polo Championships in Aspen, where he was seen riding alongside close friend Nato Figeris. Harry appeared and eat blue pullover, black helmet, white trousers and dark sunglasses as he took part in the snowy match. The trip appears to be a boy's only affair, with meg and remaining in Montecito with children despite staying behind, The Duchess appeared amused by images from the event, sharing a photograph of Harry on horseback with the caption oh hello there. Some observers thought Harry looked happy, as he often does of his solo adventures Prince Harry could see.

2:17 The Invictors Games returned to California in twenty twenty nine, with San Diego named as one of the three shortlisted host cities. The city has been selected alongside Alborg in Denmark and Dejon in South Korea as contenders to stage the International Adaptive Sports competition for Wounded, Sick and Injured service personnel and veterans. The next edition of the Invictors Games will take place in twenty twenty seven in Birmingham, England. Sources tell us Prince William is likely busy that week doing royal stuff. Megan Marco and Prince Hary's appearance at Chris Jenna's seventieth birthday celebration may have been more than a social engagement, according to a source speaking to Radar Online.

3:00 The source claim the couple viewed the star studded event as an opportunity to reconnect with influential figures in Hollywood. According to the account, Megan appeared particularly energized by the setting and eager to engage, spending time introducing herself, exchanging contact details, and circulating among guests. The insider described her as being like a kid in a candy store, suggesting the evening was seen as an important networking moment. Part of the enthusiasm, the source said, stemmed from Meghan's growing rapport with the Kardashian Jenna family. The insider claimed she has the utmost respect for Chris Jenna's business acumen and is pretty awestruck to be on a first name basis with Kim and Chloe Kardashian, as well as other members of their extended circle. From Meghan, the source suggested, being integrated into the Kardashian's world and their media empire is viewed as a potentially significant step. The source also alleged that discussions have begun around possible professional collaborations. According to the claims, Meghan and Harry's team has explored ideas ranging from appearances on The Kardashians two potential brand partnerships. Megan Michael has been accused of making demands for more prestigious accommodation during the time she and Prince Harry were living in the UK. Speaking to gb News, Kinsey Schofield said Meghan Michael, after she married Prince Harry, approached the family and asked if they could have suites within Windsor Castle.

4:25 She wanted to share the same space with the Queen, and she was denied that space for multiple reasons. Schofield said concerns included privacy issues, particularly because parts of Windsor Castle are open to tourists, which could have resulted in regular walkthroughs near private living areas. She also suggested the request stemmed from a desire to have accommodation comparable in status to that of then Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, now the Prince and Princess of Wales. At the time, William and Kate were living in an apartment one A at Kensington Palace, a large, four story residence given to them by Queen Elizabeth Second as a wedding gift in twenty eleven. The apartment underwent extensive renovations before the couple moved in.

5:07 Nottingham Cottage, by contrast, is a two bedroom property with low ceilings. Harry and Meghan addressed this directly in their Netflix series. As far as people were concerned, we were living in a palace, Harry said, and we were in a cottage, Meghan added. Kensington Palace sounds very regal, of course it does. It says palace in the name, but Nottingham Cottage was so small. In Women at Home, Emily Andrews writs how different it could have been if Meghan had thrown her arms around both sides of her family, and not just the Syllabs like George and a Mile Clooney who hardly knew the Sussexes. A courtier told me if Meghan and Harry had brought over her Markel family a couple of weeks before the wedding, put them up in a nice hotel, and had them looked after by palace staff, none of this would have ever happened. Instead, puts on Markell, who paid to put her through private school and university, is learning how to walk with a prosthetic limb, knowing he will likely never see his daughter again.

The Daily Mail took a look at Meghan's watch collection, which tells a story of sentiment, symbolism and evolving style, from affordable pieces bought during her suit stays to priceless airlooms once worn by Princess Diana.

6:56 The Duchess showcase her most famous time piece, Diana's gold Cartier tank Franseaise in the new promo for her upcoming Netflix holiday special with Love Meghan. In the image, Meghan sets a Christmas table in an emerald green gown, her wrists stacked with her eighteen carrot Cartier Love bracelet and the late Princess's elegant watch. The tank, originally valued at around eighteen thousand pounds, was gifted to Meghan by Prince Harry after their twenty eighteen wedding and remains one of her most worn accessories. The piece once belonged to Diana, who wore it in the nineteen nineties at several public engagements, including a visit to London's Hindu Temple and an event for the British Lung Foundation. In recent months, however, Meghan has been seen wearing a new watch that appears strikingly similar to Diana's Panthea de Cartier, a design reportedly gifted to the princess by Dodi al Fayed. If confirmed, it would mean Megan now owns two Cartier watches linked to Diana, a collection estimated by experts to be worth millions. Meghan's affinity or Cartier began long before her royal life. In twenty thirteen, while filming Suits, she treated herself to a forty two hundred pound two tone Cartier take front Says, to celebrate the show's third season. She had it engraved to MM from MM and said she hoped to one day pass it down to her daughter, calling it a reminder of the connection you have to the pieces you love.

8:22 Her collection also includes a boem Et Mercy, a Hampton rap watch spotted on her Instagram in twenty fifteen, and a surprisingly affordable Timeax Originals Tonal watch, a thirty pound piece she wore during a twenty sixteen good Housekeeping suit just before meeting Prince Harry. William's watch tells a different kind of story. A visit by the Prince to North Wales drew attention not just to the coastal communities he was meeting, but also to a watch with deep personal significance. William was wearing an Omega Seamaster diver at three hundred m, a model closely associated with the sea. The watch features a save patterned blue dial, a matching blue bezel, three hundred meters of water resistance, luminous markers designed for underwater visibility, and a helium escape valve at the ten o'clock position used during deep sea decompression. What makes this particular watch especially meaningful is its origin. It was a gift from his late mother, Princess Diana, given to William during his school days at Eton. Among seamaster models, it is considered relatively modest. It runs on the courts movement rather than a mechanical one, uses an aluminum bezel instead of ceramic, and has a compact case size of just over thirty six millimeters. On today's resale market, It typically sells for under two thousand pounds. Despite its understated nature, the design carries considerable cultural weight. The Seamaster Diver three hundred m was the watch that launched Omega's long winning association with James Bond, first appearing on Pierce Brosnan's wrist in GoldenEye

9:54 for Prince William. The watch represents far more than a luxury accessory. It is a practical time piece tied to menor reason of his mother, worn quietly during public duties.
