1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:15.000
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome through Pallas Intury Game.
2
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:19.920
Your host Mark Francis completely overshadowed by the Kate video.
3
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.640
Netflix announced the release date for Harry's so called by
4
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:30.440
the press release highly anticipated documentary series Polo, premiering in December.
5
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.679
The series will give viewers an exclusive behind the scenes
6
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.479
look at the world of elite polo players, pulling back
7
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.320
the curtain on the intense skill and dedication required to
8
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.280
compete at the top level. The series also promises to
9
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.479
give podcasters something to make fun of before rehashing the usual.
10
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.200
The King will have the family to Sandringham Stories Thanks Harry.
11
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.439
Produced by Harry's Archwell Productions and collaboration with Boardwalk Pictures,
12
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.960
the series with film primarily at the super relatable us
13
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.640
IT Open Polo Championship in Florida. It's set to showcase
14
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.840
not only the social and glamorous aspects of polo, but
15
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.879
also the grit and passion that drive the sport. The project,
16
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.439
which has been in the works since April, is close
17
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:16.000
to Harry's heart, and he has played polo for decades,
18
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:20.079
often participating in charity matches. His longtime friend and polo
19
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:24.599
pro Nacho Figeris expressed excitement about the project, noting it
20
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.799
as a golden opportunity to introduce the sport to a
21
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:31.519
wider audience. Both Prince Harry and Megan Michle are serving
22
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.599
as executive producers on the series, further expanding their creative
23
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.079
ventures with Netflix, for which no doubt Netflix is super
24
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.719
happy about. Meanwhile, the Wales promo machine is up and
25
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.439
running in full force. The Daily Beast even spoke with
26
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.319
a friend of the couple who said the video is
27
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.079
the reset to end all resets. This is Kate and
28
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.560
William as they mean to go on. It's family first
29
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.560
and f the haters, f the press, and f Harry
30
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.760
and Megan. It helps that they actually are like this.
31
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:01.959
If you go to a kid's birthday party at their house,
32
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.239
they will be the ones organizing games for all the kids,
33
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.799
whereas the rest of us would happily get an entertainer
34
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.919
in and be drinking wine in the kitchen. The Beast writes,
35
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.199
the reign of King William and Queen Kate we were
36
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.919
put on notice. Monday will be shiny, professional and digital first,
37
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:22.120
with a heavy focus on artfully configured corn fields, butterflies, positivity,
38
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:26.400
flattering light, sunsets, picnics in the forest, card games, and
39
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.560
snogging prints William on the beach. The great lesson that
40
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.759
Kate learned from the late Queen Elizabeth, and has applied
41
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.000
much more diligently than any of her children or grandchildren
42
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.439
ever have, is the importance of mystique. Kate has never
43
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.159
given a personal interview. We don't know her favorite foods
44
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.919
or what her preferred colors are. Like the Queen, she
45
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.879
has guarded her privacy by simply never talking about herself,
46
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.360
her feelings, her opinions, or her emotions. In the deeply
47
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.319
personal video released Monday, Kate broke with the habit of
48
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.120
a lifetime and let us in. She told us about
49
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.599
the deep stuff of her life, her hopes and fears
50
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.080
for her soulf and her family for the first time ever.
51
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.240
This video was a declaration of war on the stiff
52
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.879
upper lip. The rejection of the strictures of royalty also
53
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:10.360
meant there was no room in the video for an
54
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.360
embrace with King Charles or Queen Camilla. Despite the relentless
55
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.680
messaging from the King's office over the past nine months
56
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.759
about how close he and Kate have become in their
57
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.800
shared cancer journeys. Instead, we were treated to family time
58
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.919
at Middleton Household, with the ostoonormal Waleses hanging with Kate's parents,
59
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.919
Michael and Carroll among the billions of people watching what
60
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:30.879
could in another world be a two minute add for
61
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.639
a dating site. There can be little doubt that among
62
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.719
them was one particular resident of Montecito, and Megan. Michael
63
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.319
might be forgiven for wondering what the world, and specifically
64
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.560
the British media, would have said if it was she
65
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.039
and Harry who had released a video vignette of such
66
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:49.680
toothaching sacarinity, our royal inside a deep crown took it
67
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:53.080
a step further, telling us by featuring her own parents
68
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.199
instead of her royal in laws, Kate is subtly undermining
69
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.759
the traditional power structure of the monarchy. She's painting a
70
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.439
pure of a normal family it just happens to be royal,
71
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.360
rather than a royal family trying to appear normal. This
72
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.240
calculated omission of Charles suggests a growing rift between the
73
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:14.240
King's vision of monarchy and the Wales modernization agenda. It's
74
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.800
a bold move that positions William and Catherine as the
75
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.120
true power center of the Royal family, relegating Charles to
76
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.959
a figurehead role even before he's had a chance to
77
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:27.600
leave his mark on the throne. Piers Morgan really liked
78
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.720
Kate's video and the Sun. Piers writes, in forty years
79
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.040
of covering the Royal family, I have never seen anything
80
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.800
like Catherine's video. First, it represents a seismic departure from
81
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.120
anything that Royals have ever done before. As a former
82
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.639
newspaper editor, and I'm used to very brief, terse unemotional
83
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.680
statements about anything to do with the private lives or
84
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.040
health of the Royal family if they deigned to comment
85
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.560
at all. But Kat and William that we live in
86
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.000
a very different time now and that young people today
87
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.639
expect a more touchy feely Instagram friendly sharing approach if
88
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.920
the magic of the monarchy is to be be maintained.
89
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.160
The film might have felt a bit smoltzy to older
90
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:07.399
people from the stiff upper lip generations, but I loved it.
91
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.639
It felt real, authentic and very human, and it made
92
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.560
me feel quite emotional watching it, probably because, like so
93
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.120
many other people, I currently have first and experience of
94
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.519
someone very close to me going through cancer. Hell At
95
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.600
its core was the message that the dreaded big Sea
96
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.800
can strike anyone at any time, and it doesn't matter
97
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.079
how much money and privilege you have, or how many
98
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.319
tr as you wear. We hear a lot about the
99
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.079
need to always remember what's really important in life, but
100
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.879
how much do we truly think about it until something
101
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:37.560
terrible happens to force us too. Katy's a woman who,
102
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:41.079
on the face of it, has everything many women would love. Palaces, servants,
103
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:45.639
virtually unlimited budgets for clothes and jewelry, global superstardom. Yet
104
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.800
cancer has transformed her into a woman who would gladly
105
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.199
give up all those material and ephemeral things for good
106
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.360
health and the ability to continue being with a family
107
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.000
of simply loving and being loved. It's great to hear
108
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:58.839
she's cancer free at the moment, but I was also
109
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.040
glad she made a point of saying she knows she's
110
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.279
not out of the woods yet. It will be at
111
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.560
least five years before doctors will be able to say
112
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.199
with any confidence that she's cured. And as Kate said,
113
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.759
my path to healing and full recovery is long, and
114
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.800
I must continue to take each day as it comes.
115
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.079
We don't know exactly what cancer she's had or how
116
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.480
rough her treatment has been on her, But we do
117
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.480
know it's been serious and rough enough for her to
118
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.199
make barely any public appearances this year, and she's not
119
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.240
yet made any firm commitment to do more any time soon,
120
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:27.720
to which I say, I am sure, I speak for
121
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.000
minions of others. Take all the time you need, your
122
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.439
Royal Highness. Kate's illness and lengthy enforced absence from the
123
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.600
public stage has been enforced just how beloved and important
124
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.279
she is to this country, as is her immediate family,
125
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.000
who all came across so wonderfully well in the film.
126
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.759
Nothing defines the character of a human being more than
127
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.439
how they need to respond to adversity, and Kat has
128
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.079
responded with such magnificent courage, dignity, and grace to her
129
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.160
biggest challenge. Our future Queen is a national treasure whom
130
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.639
we will now feel very protective and unlike the bitter
131
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.399
California duo spewing their bile and filling their boots across
132
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.759
the Atlantic, she is the epitome of what it really
133
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.839
means to be a royal Palacentric can be right back
134
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.040
as this back and forth pr war between the Whales
135
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.120
and the Sussex continue. Another notion was floated in Hello.
136
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:20.800
Meghan and Harry are said to be planning their third
137
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.639
foreign tour in a year. A friend of Prince Harry
138
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:27.040
told Hello, that's his world, that's what he's used to.
139
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.319
Lesotho or Botswana have been floated as potential next destinations
140
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:36.000
because of ties to Harry's charity center Balle Hello also
141
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.399
reports that Harry's birthday party may actually be small and
142
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.000
not a Megan driven celebrity bash. A small party would
143
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.160
be followed by a relaxing weekend in the mountains. We'll
144
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.120
see and they have it. If you'd like to email
