00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.519
Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I'm

2
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:19.839
host Mark Francis. Princess Anne, famously known for her unflappable demeanor,

3
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.960
reportedly reached her limit after a recent article labeled her

4
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.280
a secret sex bomb of the nineteen seventies. According to

5
00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:31.079
Women's Day, this piece, which compared her to Jane Fonda's

6
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.880
iconic sci fi look in Barbarella, was a step too far.

7
00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.679
While Anne is typically unfazed by gossip, the suggestion that

8
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:43.679
she harbored sex bomb aspirations seemed to test even her patients.

9
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.920
Are Source noted, especially since her nephew Mike Tindall and

10
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:52.439
his wife Zara apparently couldn't resist some lighthearted teasing. Mike

11
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.600
Tindall's new book, The Good, the Bad and the Rugby Unleashed,

12
00:00:55.920 --> 00:00:59.960
written alongside his podcast's co hosts James Haskell and Alex Payne,

13
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:03.399
is making waves with readers eager for behind the scenes

14
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:08.079
royal insights. Haskell describes how Mike handles criticism over his

15
00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.560
royal ties, saying, to be fair to tins, he gives

16
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.519
zero fs about stuff like that. In one chapter, Haskell

17
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.959
recalls when Mike's comments about Prince Harry drew some heat

18
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:21.439
At a live event, Mike shared a story from the

19
00:01:21.480 --> 00:01:24.519
two thousand and three Rugby World Cup where he joked

20
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:27.760
about pretending to fill in Harry before equipping that the

21
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:31.400
Royal family wanted to fill him in for real. Though

22
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.719
this remark resurfaced in the media, Haskell noted that all

23
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.359
contact sarcasm and humor were lost, especially when Prince Harry

24
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.400
and Megan's biographer Omud Scoby brought the incident up online.

25
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.879
Royal fans can be mental, Haskell added. Meanwhile, Alex Pain

26
00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:50.120
has revealed a cheeky side of Princess Anne that almost

27
00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:52.920
made it to air. During a special episode of The Good,

28
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:56.560
the Bad and the Rugby at Windsor Castle, Alex recalled

29
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.040
and off the cuff remark from Anne that he felt

30
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.359
could have boosted the Royal families down with the kid's reputation.

31
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:05.920
The moment unfolded when Prince William joked with Haskell about

32
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:08.879
his role on the World Cup cruise ship, to which

33
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:11.919
Haskell quipped, well, it sounds a bit like anchor with

34
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:17.240
an implied twist and demonstrating impeccable comic timing piped in, Yes,

35
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.520
I see that The remark, which wasn't aired, left Alex

36
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:23.080
wishing it had stayed in, imagining it would have done

37
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:27.560
wonders for royal relatability, while Prince William's passion for aston

38
00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:31.400
Villa gave the group lively material and was and was

39
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.199
deemed the episode's star of the show, with her sharp

40
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.599
went fully on display. In today's edition of If Harry

41
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.199
and Meghan Did This. Pipper Middleton and James Matthews are

42
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.280
facing backlash from villages near their West Berkshire state after

43
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:49.639
putting up a no trespassing sign on a footpath that

44
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.960
locals have used for years. The path, which runs alongside

45
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.919
their driveway, had been accessible to the public during the

46
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:59.919
tenure of the estate's former owner, designer Sir Terence Conran,

47
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.879
who reportedly welcomed locals to use it. After moving into

48
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:06.240
the one hundred and forty five acre property in Kinbury

49
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.960
two years ago, Middleton and Matthews decided to close off

50
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.240
the path, submitting a highway declaration notice to West Berkshire

51
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:17.439
Council in March of this year to market as private.

52
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:21.919
This action came in response to a definitive map modification

53
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.680
order from Eugene Fotcher, chairman of the West Berkshire Ramblers,

54
00:03:25.879 --> 00:03:28.120
who sought to have the route recognized as a public

55
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:32.159
right of way. Futcher explained there is evidence through witness

56
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.560
statements of the public having had access to this lane

57
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.280
going back to the nineteen sixties. If it is blocked,

58
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:40.680
it would not only restrict access to the network, but

59
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:43.360
would also force walkers to go down a dangerous and

60
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.159
busy road without pavements. According to the nineteen eighty one

61
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:50.080
Agriculture Act, if a path has been used by the

62
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.719
public for over twenty years, it may be claimed as

63
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:56.159
a public right of way until a decision is reached.

64
00:03:56.319 --> 00:04:00.639
Middleton and Matthews have control over the path. Slow News

65
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.520
Day the tabloids couldn't make up their minds about which

66
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.879
version of the Harry and Megan saga to go with.

67
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:09.439
On the one hand, Thenews dot COM's insider said, the

68
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.280
former suit star is aware of the fact that she's

69
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:16.199
nothing without Prince Harry. Meanwhile, Royal expert Hugo Vickers is

70
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.959
out there saying, I think inevitably probably Prince Harry, and

71
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:22.600
there'll come a time when she'll think that she doesn't

72
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:25.839
need him. How slow is the news today, well slow

73
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.879
enough that we can tell you about Queen Elizabeth's psycho Corgies.

74
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:33.040
Her corgies, while beloved, had an unpredictable nature. There was

75
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.839
nothing short of legendary. According to Craig Brown's book, A

76
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.879
Voyage Around the Queen, the late monarch's first dog, Susan,

77
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.680
was gifted to her in nineteen forty four, igniting a

78
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.199
tradition that would see her with an incredible eighty three

79
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:50.240
Corkis and doggies over the years. Unfortunately, this lineage wasn't

80
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.079
all tail wags and cuddles. They had a fierce streak

81
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.079
doling out bites to royals and even dignitaries who got

82
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.920
a bit too close. Among their more memorable antics, these

83
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.879
colli owns of the dog well were prone to gnawing

84
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.560
on visitors, furniture, and even the odd postman. Princess Anne

85
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:10.439
was once drafted to discipline her mother's cheeky doggy Honey,

86
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:13.920
but her softer touch proved no match. Even the Queen

87
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:17.199
herself got caught in the crossfire, earning three stitches after

88
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:20.560
a corgy scuffle in nineteen ninety one. The Palace even

89
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:24.079
hired an animal psychologist in nineteen eighty nine to try

90
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.720
to team the pack's biting habit, a gesture that was

91
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.519
as much about damage control as it was about keeping

92
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:35.120
the Royal household bite free more palace In just a moment,

102
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:10.160
William We Can End Homelessness, the Prince of Wales directly

103
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:14.839
addresses criticism regarding his lifestyle and commitment to ending homelessness

104
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:19.079
while highlighting his ambitious homewards program. In response to questions

105
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.720
on his multiple residences and the one hundred and thirty

106
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:26.040
five thousand acre duchy of Cornwaller State, William notes, I

107
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.680
think if I answered every critic, I'd be here all day.

108
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.680
But you know, the criticism drives you forward. It's right

109
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:34.959
to question, but ultimately we are pushing forward to deliver

110
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.199
change and hope and optimism into a world that, frankly

111
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:40.079
has had very little of it for a long time.

112
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.839
The two part documentary, airing Wednesday and Thursday, captures William's

113
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:48.720
first year after launching Homewards, his five year program aimed

114
00:06:48.720 --> 00:06:52.920
at demonstrating practical solutions to prevent homelessness. William aims to

115
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.879
shift perceptions, saying I'm not sitting here saying I'm going

116
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.920
to solve the entire world's homelessness problems, but I am

117
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:03.000
going to show people how to prevent homelessness. A particularly

118
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.360
poignant moment occurs when William discusses homelessness with his three

119
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:10.600
young children, George, Charlotte, Leois during their school runs. Recalling

120
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.439
their initial reaction, William shares, the first few times I

121
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:15.360
thought do I bring this up? Or should I wait

122
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:17.800
and see if any of them noticed? And sure enough

123
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:19.759
they did, and they were just sort of in silence.

124
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.279
After I had said what was going on, He adds,

125
00:07:22.680 --> 00:07:25.279
I do think it's really important that you start those

126
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:28.439
conversations when the children are small, so that they understand

127
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.319
the world around them, and they're not just living in

128
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.120
their own little worlds. In a newly released clip, William

129
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.959
reflects on how his late mother, Princess Diana, first introduced

130
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:39.759
him to the issue of homelessness. My mother took me

131
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.959
to the passage. She took Harry and I both there.

132
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:44.120
I must have been eleven at the time, maybe ten.

133
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:47.160
I had never been to anything like that before, and

134
00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:49.720
I was a bit anxious about what to expect. My

135
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:53.279
mother went about her usual, making everyone feel relaxed, having

136
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.040
a laugh and joking with everyone. He says. I remember

137
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.800
at the time kind of thinking, well, if everyone doesn't

138
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:01.079
have a home, they're all going to be really sad.

139
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:04.160
But it was incredible how happy an environment it was.

140
00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:08.199
I remember having some good conversations, playing chess, chatting, and

141
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:10.079
that's what it dawned on me, that there were other

142
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.600
people out there who don't have the same life as

143
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.279
you do. You know, when you're quite small, you just

144
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:16.879
think life is what you see in front of you,

145
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:19.879
and you don't really have concept to look elsewhere. It's

146
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:21.839
when you meet people, as I did, who put a

147
00:08:21.839 --> 00:08:24.240
different perspective in your head and say, well, I was

148
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.680
living on the street last night and you're like, ohh,

149
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.879
I remember that happening. It is believed by royal watchers

150
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:32.720
that this is the first time William has mentioned Harry

151
00:08:32.799 --> 00:08:36.000
in six years. Some are considering it an olive branch,

152
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.960
while others are completely dismissive of that notion and they

153
00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:41.840
have it. I'd like to email us my addresses The
