Was Princess Anne a Sex Bomb?

0:03 Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I'm host Mark Francis. Princess Anne, famously known for her unflappable demeanor, reportedly reached her limit after a recent article labeled her a secret sex bomb of the nineteen seventies. According to Women's Day, this piece, which compared her to Jane Fonda's iconic sci fi look in Barbarella, was a step too far. While Anne is typically unfazed by gossip, the suggestion that she harbored sex bomb aspirations seemed to test even her patients.

Mike Tindall's new book, The Good, the Bad and the Rugby Unleashed, written alongside his podcast's co hosts James Haskell and Alex Payne, is making waves with readers eager for behind the scenes royal insights. Haskell describes how Mike handles criticism over his royal ties, saying, to be fair to tins, he gives zero fs about stuff like that. In one chapter, Haskell recalls when Mike's comments about Prince Harry drew some heat At a live event, Mike shared a story from the two thousand and three Rugby World Cup where he joked about pretending to fill in Harry before equipping that the Royal family wanted to fill him in for real. Though this remark resurfaced in the media, Haskell noted that all contact sarcasm and humor were lost, especially when Prince Harry and Megan's biographer Omud Scoby brought the incident up online.

1:42 Royal fans can be mental, Haskell added. Meanwhile, Alex Pain has revealed a cheeky side of Princess Anne that almost made it to air. During a special episode of The Good, the Bad and the Rugby at Windsor Castle, Alex recalled and off the cuff remark from Anne that he felt could have boosted the Royal families down with the kid's reputation. The moment unfolded when Prince William joked with Haskell about his role on the World Cup cruise ship, to which Haskell quipped, well, it sounds a bit like anchor with an implied twist and demonstrating impeccable comic timing piped in, Yes, I see that The remark, which wasn't aired, left Alex wishing it had stayed in, imagining it would have done wonders for royal relatability, while Prince William's passion for aston Villa gave the group lively material and was and was deemed the episode's star of the show, with her sharp went fully on display. In today's edition of If Harry and Meghan Did This. Pipper Middleton and James Matthews are facing backlash from villages near their West Berkshire state after putting up a no trespassing sign on a footpath that locals have used for years. The path, which runs alongside their driveway, had been accessible to the public during the tenure of the estate's former owner, designer Sir Terence Conran, who reportedly welcomed locals to use it. After moving into the one hundred and forty five acre property in Kinbury two years ago, Middleton and Matthews decided to close off the path, submitting a highway declaration notice to West Berkshire

3:14 Council in March of this year to market as private. This action came in response to a definitive map modification order from Eugene Fotcher, chairman of the West Berkshire Ramblers, who sought to have the route recognized as a public right of way. Futcher explained there is evidence through witness statements of the public having had access to this lane going back to the nineteen sixties. If it is blocked, it would not only restrict access to the network, but would also force walkers to go down a dangerous and busy road without pavements. According to the nineteen eighty one Agriculture Act, if a path has been used by the public for over twenty years, it may be claimed as a public right of way until a decision is reached.

3:56 Middleton and Matthews have control over the path. Slow News Day the tabloids couldn't make up their minds about which version of the Harry and Megan saga to go with. On the one hand, Thenews dot COM's insider said, the former suit star is aware of the fact that she's nothing without Prince Harry. Meanwhile, Royal expert Hugo Vickers is out there saying, I think inevitably probably Prince Harry, and there'll come a time when she'll think that she doesn't need him. How slow is the news today, well slow enough that we can tell you about Queen Elizabeth's psycho Corgies. Her corgies, while beloved, had an unpredictable nature. There was nothing short of legendary. According to Craig Brown's book, A Voyage Around the Queen, the late monarch's first dog, Susan, was gifted to her in nineteen forty four, igniting a tradition that would see her with an incredible eighty three Corkis and doggies over the years. Unfortunately, this lineage wasn't all tail wags and cuddles. They had a fierce streak doling out bites to royals and even dignitaries who got a bit too close. Among their more memorable antics, these colli owns of the dog well were prone to gnawing on visitors, furniture, and even the odd postman. Princess Anne was once drafted to discipline her mother's cheeky doggy Honey, but her softer touch proved no match. Even the Queen herself got caught in the crossfire, earning three stitches after a corgy scuffle in nineteen ninety one. The Palace even hired an animal psychologist in nineteen eighty nine to try to team the pack's biting habit, a gesture that was

In his upcoming ITV documentary Prince William We Can End Homelessness, the Prince of Wales directly addresses criticism regarding his lifestyle and commitment to ending homelessness while highlighting his ambitious homewards program. In response to questions on his multiple residences and the one hundred and thirty five thousand acre duchy of Cornwaller State, William notes, I think if I answered every critic, I'd be here all day.

6:28 But you know, the criticism drives you forward. It's right to question, but ultimately we are pushing forward to deliver change and hope and optimism into a world that, frankly has had very little of it for a long time. The two part documentary, airing Wednesday and Thursday, captures William's first year after launching Homewards, his five year program aimed at demonstrating practical solutions to prevent homelessness. William aims to shift perceptions, saying I'm not sitting here saying I'm going to solve the entire world's homelessness problems, but I am going to show people how to prevent homelessness. A particularly poignant moment occurs when William discusses homelessness with his three young children, George, Charlotte, Leois during their school runs. Recalling their initial reaction, William shares, the first few times I thought do I bring this up? Or should I wait and see if any of them noticed? And sure enough they did, and they were just sort of in silence.

7:19 After I had said what was going on, He adds, I do think it's really important that you start those conversations when the children are small, so that they understand the world around them, and they're not just living in their own little worlds. In a newly released clip, William reflects on how his late mother, Princess Diana, first introduced him to the issue of homelessness. My mother took me to the passage. She took Harry and I both there. I must have been eleven at the time, maybe ten. I had never been to anything like that before, and I was a bit anxious about what to expect. My mother went about her usual, making everyone feel relaxed, having a laugh and joking with everyone. He says. I remember at the time kind of thinking, well, if everyone doesn't have a home, they're all going to be really sad.

8:01 But it was incredible how happy an environment it was. I remember having some good conversations, playing chess, chatting, and that's what it dawned on me, that there were other people out there who don't have the same life as you do. You know, when you're quite small, you just think life is what you see in front of you, and you don't really have concept to look elsewhere. It's when you meet people, as I did, who put a different perspective in your head and say, well, I was living on the street last night and you're like, ohh, I remember that happening. It is believed by royal watchers that this is the first time William has mentioned Harry in six years. Some are considering it an olive branch, while others are completely dismissive of that notion and they have it. I'd like to email us my addresses The Palace Entry at gmail dot com.
