Show Notes
Transcript

Meghan Markle’s recent appearance at the LA Children’s Hospital Gala has stirred some gossip, with claims that she attended “for the photographs,” according to her former friend Lizzie Cundy. The British socialite, who was at the event on Saturday, commented on the Duchess of Sussex’s presence, noting that she seemed to lack warmth and stayed for only a short time.

Cundy, who had a brief friendship with Meghan before the royal engagement, claimed to have been “ghosted” by her after Meghan’s relationship with Prince Harry blossomed. She also noted that Meghan’s reception in LA hasn’t been as warm since she and Harry distanced themselves from the Royal Family, commenting that “LA people feel they’ve been played by her.”

Callaroga Shark Media, Hello and welcome through Palace intrigue Postmark Frances.

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:20.559
Meghan Markle's recent appearance at the LA Children's Hospital gala

3
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:24.679
has stirred some gossip, with claims that she attended for

4
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:29.079
the photographs, according to her former friend Lizzie Cundy. The

5
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.679
British socialite who was at the event on Saturday, commented

6
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:36.039
on the Duchess of Sussex's presence, noting that she seemed

7
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:40.479
to lack warmth and stayed for only a short time. Cundy,

8
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:43.560
who had a brief friendship with Meghan before the royal engagement,

9
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:47.079
claimed to have been ghosted by her after Meghan's relationship

10
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:50.280
with Prince Harry blossomed. She also noted that Meghan's reception

11
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:53.159
in LA hasn't been as warm since she and Harry

12
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:56.880
distanced themselves from the Royal family, commenting that LA people

13
00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:01.439
feel they've been played by her. Megan's solo outing has

14
00:01:01.479 --> 00:01:04.599
sparked a new round of rumors. Angel Eleven, in an

15
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.159
opinion piece for Sky and Newsed Australia, writes two years ago,

16
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.719
Meghan Michael said she and Prince Harry were like Sultan

17
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.319
Pepper because they always move together, but that has changed. Suddenly.

18
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:18.319
Harry has gone on a trip alone to New York,

19
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.840
UK and Africa to catch up with various charities he

20
00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.959
cares about. It's a shock, as he has lately been

21
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.680
her subordinate. Is Megan fed up with him or vice versa?

22
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:33.159
Could it be the beginning of the end of their relationship.

23
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:36.400
Megan has been accused of dropping many people once they

24
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.799
are no longer any use to her. Perhaps she feels

25
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:44.719
she's reached global recognition and doesn't need him anymore. In

26
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.760
a surprising revelation, Malania Trump has disclosed that she's been

27
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:51.760
exchanging letters with King Charles for nearly two decades. According

28
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.640
to her new memoir, the former First Lady first met

29
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:56.760
the King in New York in two thousand and five

30
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.040
and has maintained an ongoing correspondence with him ever since.

31
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:03.959
The New York Times reviewed the memoir, noting that the

32
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:07.400
pair have remained in touch for years, with Millennia describing

33
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:12.360
their relationship as an absolute pleasure. Their most recent encounter

34
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:14.960
was during the Trump's twenty nineteen state visit to the UK,

35
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.360
where Missus Trump said they discussed King charles dedication to

36
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:22.439
environmental conservation. She wrote, this time we engaged in an

37
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.199
interesting conversation about his deep rooted commitment to environmental conservation.

38
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.080
Reports also suggest that King Charles has exchanged letters with

39
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:34.960
Donald Trump, including a private message of concern after an

40
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.360
incident at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania where shots were fired. However,

41
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.680
Buckingham Palace has kept the contents of these messages private.

42
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.520
The relationship between King Charles and the Trumps seems amicable

43
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.919
in contrast to some of the more mixed reports surrounding

44
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.680
Queen Elizabeth's interactions with Donald Trump. A former aid claimed

45
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.199
that the Queen found the Trump's gracious and wonderful during

46
00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.599
the state's visit, while other accounts, like those in Craig

47
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.680
brown A Voyage around the Queen, suggests she found the

48
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.919
former president very rude. An interesting note from Marca dot

49
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.039
com and will point out that we are not seeing

50
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.639
this story anywhere else at all. Marka reported that journalist

51
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:19.000
Concha Kaleiha told Fiesta, a program on Spanish television, that

52
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.759
Kate needs to undergo some tests. If the cancer has

53
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:25.439
gone into remission, she will have to undergo a minor

54
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:30.120
procedure later on. Everything is fine for now, however, If

55
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:33.360
the tests show that the treatments were not sufficient, a

56
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:37.879
new chemotherapy session will be scheduled for some perspective. Kalaiyha

57
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.000
previously claimed that Kate was placed into a coma during

58
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:44.080
a postop period. A source told The Times of London

59
00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:47.280
that rumor no attempt was made by that journalist to

60
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:51.039
fact check anything that she said with anyone in the household.

61
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:55.039
It's fundamentally totally made up and I'll use polite English here.

62
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.759
It's absolutely not the case. Tell us intriguam right back.

63
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.280
Sits star Patrick J. Adams recently opened up about his

64
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:09.680
relationship with former co star Megan Michael, revealing that they

65
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.240
are not really in touch since her departure from the

66
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.039
show in twenty eighteen. In response to a fan on

67
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:18.120
Reddit thread asking is it weird now that your co

68
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.959
star is Royalty? Are you still in touch? Adams explained

69
00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:24.920
she leads a very different life now for obvious and

70
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:30.759
important reasons. Adams shared that despite their differing paths, Markael

71
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.000
reached out after learning about the suits Rewatch podcast he

72
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.959
launched with co star Sarah Rafferty. Upon hearing about the podcast,

73
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:40.480
I got a lovely text saying how excited she was

74
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.040
for us and asking how she could help in any way,

75
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.079
he wrote, adding it was so lovely to still have

76
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:49.120
that kind of support and friendship after so many years apart.

77
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.759
In a podcast episode, Adams recalled how their connection began

78
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:56.279
even before Suits. The pair had filmed a terrible, terrible

79
00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:00.000
pilot together. Adams joked, there was setting up very romantic

80
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.360
relationship and the pilot of that particular pilot too, and

81
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.000
then we never saw each other again. The pilot failed,

82
00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:10.120
it was terrible and went away. However, during a chemistry

83
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.560
read for Suits, they reconnected. Adams recounted, she was right

84
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:16.319
there and she said hi, and I went, oh my god,

85
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.279
so good to see you. Their prayer work together helped

86
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:22.079
Marcael land the role of Rachel's Zane, with Adam's noting,

87
00:05:22.399 --> 00:05:24.160
it was just clear that we had an easy going

88
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:28.240
thing when we went into that room. Adams also praised

89
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.720
Mikael's performance during the casting process, calling her head and

90
00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.720
shoulders above the competition, stating that it was obvious she

91
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:37.399
would get the part. It was just so much easier

92
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.680
than it was with anybody else. He recalled. Raffordy mentioned

93
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.480
that Mirkael has been invited to join the podcast as

94
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:47.199
a guest. Everybody's invited and everybody has been so supportive.

95
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:50.800
We're confident that the Suits podcast wouldn't mind the bumper

96
00:05:50.839 --> 00:05:53.959
megan appearance would bring. Megan is also invited to guest

97
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:56.959
hosts Palace Intrigue for six months if she'd like, but

98
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:59.240
we understand how busy she is working on her own

99
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:03.839
podcast for Lemonade. King Charles has found himself at the

100
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.519
center of complaints regarding the town of Pounderbury in Dorset,

101
00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:12.480
a model community designed based on his vision for urban planning.

102
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.879
The picturesque town, intended to represent a harmonious blend of

103
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:21.279
traditional architecture and sustainable living, is now facing serious issues

104
00:06:21.279 --> 00:06:26.160
that have left residents frustrated. Overflowing ben's rat investations and

105
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.319
unpleasant odors have plagued the town, with locals complaining that

106
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.040
rubbish collection has been neglected. When resident remarked the King

107
00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:35.600
would be horrified as the situation has left parts of

108
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.079
the town looking like a third world country. The uncollected

109
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:43.120
waste outside multiple apartment blocks has sparked public health concerns

110
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.439
and tarnished the reputation of Poundbury, which was meant to

111
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:50.319
exemplify charles principles of architecture and community, outlined in his

112
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:55.040
nineteen eighty nine book A Vision of Britain. Charles may

113
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.680
not want anyone to know about this next story, but

114
00:06:58.199 --> 00:06:59.959
can I interest you in the tale of an age

115
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.000
monarch transferring power to a younger royal in his early forties.

116
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:08.800
The Luxembourg royal family is undergoing a significant transition, as

117
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.680
Grand Duke on Rie is preparing to pass some of

118
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.399
his governing duties to his oldest son, Prince Guilloum. This

119
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.040
change was marked by a lieutenantcy ceremony at the Grand

120
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:23.480
Ducal Palace, where Prince Guilloum was appointed as Lieutenant Representative,

121
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.079
a role similar to Prince regent. Although Grand Duke on

122
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:30.120
Rie sixty nine will remain the official head of state,

123
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.600
this chef allows Prince Guilloum forty two to take on

124
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:38.639
more responsibilities. Voluntary abdication has been a tradition in Luxembourg's monarchy,

125
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:41.000
and this ceremony is seen as the first step towards

126
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.199
Gillom's eventual reign, though no timeline for full abdication has

127
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.519
been set. The ceremony, which follows Grand Duke on rezone

128
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.639
path when he served as a Lieutenant Representative before succeeding

129
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.560
his father. Will include the signing of a Grand Ducal

130
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.439
Decree and a swearing in ceremony. Prince Gallum and his wife,

131
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:00.720
Princess Stephanie have two young sons, one of whom is

132
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:04.920
named Prince Charles. Don't forget. You can get Palace Intrigue
