00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:12.800
Ah Caalaroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace intrigue

2
00:00:12.839 --> 00:00:17.960
and posting finances. Okay, Scottish Daily Express, you've got our attention.

3
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.839
The headline, King Charles glamorous god daughter strips down to

4
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:26.239
help bathe elephants and poses as pair have sex. It's

5
00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:28.559
been a slow news week, so sure, let's see what

6
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:31.039
the scandal is and how they even managed to drag

7
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:35.119
Harry into this. You see, Princess Maria Olympia of Greece

8
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.479
and Denmark, King Charles Goddaughter recently traded in the catwalk

9
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.000
for some conservation work. During a trip to Thailand. The

10
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.200
twenty eight year old model, known for her work with

11
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:49.719
Vanity Fair and Dulce and Gabbana, visited the Pattaya Elephant Sanctuary,

12
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:52.520
where she got up close with the sanctuaries heard of

13
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.920
rescued elephants. In a series of posts on social media,

14
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.240
Maria Olympia can be seen bathing and feeding the elephants

15
00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:02.799
and even poposing his two elephants showed affection behind her.

16
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:06.000
The model was even rumoured to be romantically linked to

17
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:10.079
Prince Harry in twenty sixteen, though those rumours were swiftly

18
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:15.280
denied by the Royal family. Meanwhile, Harry's true love, Megan Michael,

19
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.719
might be facing another legal hurdle with her American Riviera brand,

20
00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:23.799
specifically over her homemade jam. According to that same Scottish Express,

21
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.040
Meghan has encountered a trademark dispute after a company called

22
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.680
Royal Riviera, known for its Oregon grown premium pairs and

23
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:35.040
established in nineteen ten, argues that the name similarity could

24
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:39.840
lead to likelihood of confusion among consumers. Royal expert Richard

25
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.040
Eden speculates that this subjection could become a multi billion

26
00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.480
dollar problem for Megan, who has faced other trademark setbacks,

27
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.760
including delays with her blog The tig after she missed

28
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:54.280
required filings. After a well win tour of Australia and Samoa,

29
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:57.760
Charles and Camilla took a peaceful detour at the exclusive

30
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:03.000
Sucure Wellness Resort in Bengalore, India to recharge before returning

31
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.400
to the UK. The three day stay at the three

32
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.439
thousand pounds a week resort allowed them to enjoy yoga,

33
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:12.080
ioerveadic treatments and a vegetarian diet in a lush, tech

34
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:17.439
free setting designed to rejuvenate body, mind and soul possible

35
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.960
sex bomb. Princess Anne is making headlines for her fashion

36
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.159
forward choice at a recent investiture, where she opted for

37
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:27.719
sheer black tights under her military uniform. While sites are

38
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.560
at staple in royal wardrobes, often preferred by the late

39
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:34.199
Queen Elizabeth I for formal occasions, Princess Anne typically leans

40
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.240
towards nude options. However, her choice of shea tights aligns

41
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.319
with current fashion trends. As always, the Princess Royal balances

42
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:44.240
tradition with a modern flare, proving that she's not just

43
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.960
a royal but also a style icon in her own right.

44
00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:49.599
If you think we've been patting a slow news week

45
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.759
with the Princess Anne Betley, British tabloids are so desperate

46
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:56.159
they are writing about the great streaming war between Harry

47
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:58.400
and William. William is set to shine a light on

48
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:02.199
homelessness with his new document Prince William Weeken and Homelessness,

49
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:05.319
which will air on Disney Plus. The streaming war part

50
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:08.960
of it is pitting William's special against Harry's Polo series

51
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:13.120
on Netflix, and by Harry we mean Nacho. Titled simply Polo,

52
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.240
this five part series will provide an intimate look at

53
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.000
the sport, featuring Harry in a charity polo match in Florida.

54
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.840
Then out there somewhere is Megan's cooking show, which we've

55
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.919
heard nothing about recently. The cooking show is reportedly the

56
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.639
reason why she isn't working on her updated podcast for Lemonada.

57
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.319
As for why she might not be working on the

58
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.319
cooking show, maybe she's working on the dog Biscuits and

59
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.599
Jam project. Anyway, William is trying to help the homeless

60
00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:45.400
tell Us Intriguer a road back. Halloween twenty sixteen marked

61
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.800
a memorable moment in Harry and Meghan's relationship, with the

62
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:52.360
spare describing it as one final night of incognito fun

63
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.599
before their romance went to public. In his memoir, Harry

64
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.639
recalls that he and Meghan, joined by Princess Eugenie and

65
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.479
her now husband Jack brooks Bank, went out to a

66
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.479
post apocalyptic themed party in Toronto. Reflecting on the night,

67
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:09.080
Harry wrote, Toronto's Soho House was having a big party

68
00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:12.719
and the theme was apocalypse dress. Accordingly, I mumbled to

69
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.960
Meg that I'd not had great luck with themed fancy

70
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:19.360
dress parties, but I'd give it another go to get

71
00:04:19.399 --> 00:04:21.920
into the spirit. Harry left his infamous Nazi costume home

72
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.439
and borrowed a costume from his friend, actor Tom Hardy.

73
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:26.639
I'd phoned him to ask if I could borrow his

74
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.439
costume from Mad Max. Megan shared similar details on The

75
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:33.519
Ellen Degenerous Show in twenty twenty one, explaining they just

76
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.360
wanted one fun night out on the town before it

77
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.920
was out in the world, and that we were a couple.

78
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.600
The night out would prove to be their last in disguise,

79
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.360
as the next day news of their romance was revealed.

80
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.720
Fast forward to Halloween twenty twenty one, when Meghan shared

81
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.120
on Ellen's show how she and Harry tried to celebrate

82
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.920
the holiday with their children Archie and Lillibet. We wanted

83
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.000
to do something fun for the kids, but the kids

84
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.079
were just not into it at all, Meghan laughed, explaining

85
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.040
that Archie dressed as a dinosaur for maybe five minutes,

86
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:05.319
while Lillabert was a skunk reminiscent of Flower from Bambie.

87
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:07.279
As for William and Kate, it seems they do take

88
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:09.839
part in Halloween fun with their kids. According to a

89
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.959
post shared by Jay Rutland, Kate was spotted trick or

90
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.800
treating with her kids at his London door one Halloween,

91
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.240
which he noted was very friendly and down to earth.

92
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.519
Though Halloween traditions like trick or treating aunt is widespread

93
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.480
in the UK as they are in the US, the

94
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.519
family clearly enjoys getting into the spirit. Back in twenty nineteen,

95
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.959
local shopper Kathy Whittaker had an unexpected royal encounter when

96
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.839
she spotted Kate with George and Charlotte browsing the Halloween

97
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:38.279
isle at King's Lynn Store. Kathy called to the mirror

98
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:40.959
she was with Charlotte and George looking at Halloween outfits,

99
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.720
but her bodyguard was keeping an eye out making sure

100
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:47.160
people weren't taking photos. Kathy managed to snap a shot

101
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.720
discreetly as Kate moved through the South checkout. While Kathy

102
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:54.199
didn't catch these specifics of Kate's purchases, she noted the

103
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:57.199
lady who told me she was there mentioned that Kate

104
00:05:57.279 --> 00:06:00.959
was chatting with her children, asking them about their Halloween plans.

105
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.399
Fast forward to Halloween twenty twenty two and Princess Kate

106
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.279
was again spotted getting into the Halloween spirit, this time

107
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:10.920
going trick or treating the Kensington Palace. According to Hello.

108
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:13.279
A photo captured Kate standing by a neighbor's gate with

109
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.759
a children bag in hand, presumably to collect the kids treats.

110
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.639
The image, snapped from a distance, left it unclear what

111
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.560
costumes the young Royals had chosen, but Kate's Halloween friendly

112
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:27.600
enthusiasm was unmistakable, speaking of costumes. Following their two thousand

113
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:30.920
and seven break up, Kate and William unexpectedly reunited at

114
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.279
a friend's fancy dress party, where a nurse's costume and

115
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:37.800
maybe a bit of nostalgia helped spark to second chance.

116
00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.439
Kate Owryave dressed as a nurse in fishnet tights in

117
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:43.439
the short dress, while William sported hot pants and a

118
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:47.199
policeman's helmet. The event was hosted by Sam Whaley Cohen,

119
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:50.040
an amateur jockey and mutual friend, and throughout the night

120
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.560
the former couple was spotted chatting, dancing, and even sharing

121
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.560
a kiss. Whaley Cohen later dispelled any matchmaking rumors, saying

122
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.279
people love the idea that somebody put them back to together,

123
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.920
but they put themselves together far more. Not long after

124
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.560
the party, the two rekindled their relationship on a getaway

125
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:10.000
in the Seychells three years later they were engaged. Reflecting

126
00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.720
on their brief time apart, Kate acknowledged it made me

127
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.759
a stronger person. William added, we were both very young.

128
00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:17.480
It was just a bit of space and it worked

129
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.720
out for the better. As for Harry's infamous Nazi costumed choice,

130
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:24.639
it's probably for the best that we not revisit that

131
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.439
story today. And there you have it. If like email
