Were William and Kate on a Secret Superyacht? They don't seem to want us asking.
Did Prince William and Kate Middleton sneak off to a $340 million superyacht in Greece? We decode the conflicting rumours, royal PR spin, and that curiously timed museum headline about Charlotte. Plus: Are the Waleses planning to move into a “mini-castle” at Fort Belvedere? Meanwhile, King Charles is reportedly “fuming.” Also in this episode: William launches new homes for the homeless, skips the Lionesses’ victory parade, and reminds us — if there was a yacht, it was probably sustainable.

0:03 Calorouga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas Intry. I am your host Mark for answers. It appears as if Kate and William would like the story changed, as their teams fed the Median. Let's begin with the secret yacht vacation which the mainstream press has finally begun paying attention. To The Daily Mail dug In pointing out that for more than a week the Greek island of Kevlinia has been a buzz with one royal question. Were Prince William and Princess Kate really here on holiday? Locals are adamant, they claim the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their children George, Charlotte and Lewis, touched down via private jet on July sixteenth and were whisked to a super yacht, possibly the Opera, a three hundred and forty million pound megayacht owned by UAE Royalty. Some even say Carol and Michael Middleton came along for the ride. A taxi driver confidently showed a photo of a yacht and said, I know for sure this is the one. There on a taverna waiter in a gear for me claimed the royals arrived by tender boat and were driven to the Melisani Cave, which he said was closed for them, but when asked directly, he hadn't seen them, only his cousin had, and that cousin in turned city and he saw the cars. While the British media largely ignored the rumor, international headlines fanned the flames. In the end, gondoliers at Melisani Cave offered the most plausible explanation. It wasn't William and Kate at all, but members of the Emmarati royal family. It's fake news,
1:36 said one boatman plainly. Another version of the story says that it wasn't the yacht opera, but rather the prince and princesses were actually on the Almax, one of the world's first fuel cell super yachts, which is estimated to be worth forty million pounds and is described as a huge milestone in the future of sustainable boating. So there you have it. William and Kate may or not have been on a secret yacht, and if they were, it was definitely sustainable yacht and not one of those energy consuming yachts. Megan probably would have vacationed on, but stop asking questions as the media has been fed and boy, isn't that Kate Middleton really something special? Allow yourself to be distracted by this headline from people. Kate Middleton acted as a museum curator, and Princess Charlotte may have inspired one of her exhibit picks. Yes that Kate truly is wonderful and definitely not vacation on a sheik's forty million pound yacht, and even if she were, the yacht would be sustainable. The amazing Princess of Wales created her own selection of artifacts from one of her favorite places. Kate, who studied art history at the University of Saint Andrews, used some of her art expertise to pick out some objects following her visit to the VNA East Storehouse in June.
2:48 A mini display called Makers and Creators is on view as part of the center's extensive, free, self guided experience until early twenty twenty six. Kate made her selection in conjunct with the museum's curatorial teen, picking objects from across the VNA's collections. Her choices make up one of more than one hundred changing displays, an attempt to capture how unique objects can come together to create a collective whole that helps us to explore our social and cultural experiences and the role we play in the wider tapestry of life. The VNA says a standout piece in Kate's display is Oliver Messel's costume for the Fairy of the Woodland Glades, worn by Diana Vere in the Royal Ballet's nineteen sixty production of The Sleeping Beauty People adds It's possible that Princess Kate and Prince William's ten year old daughter, Princess Charlotte, inspired the choice, as the young royal has a known love of dance. Have you stopped thinking about the super yocht yet? Let's feed the media some more so you can stop asking questions about the yacht. How's this for a headline from Cosmo? Kate Middleton and Prince William considering moving out of Adelaide cottage to a mini castle. The Waales family is just like you and me, and it live in fanas castles. They live in mini castles. Prince William and Princess Kate maybe eyeing yet another move, this time to Fort Belvidere, a Grand Gothic revival mansion. Tucked deep within Windsor Great Park. The couple who currently reside at Adelaide Cottage with their three children, are said to feel they've outgrown a relatively modest home and are looking
4:20 for more space, especially with active young royals like Charlotte, reportedly a keen tennis player in the house. Fort Belvedere certainly offers more fifty nine acres of ground, a swimming pool, tennis court, rose garden, stables, private lakes, and even three staff cottages. The house itself is rich with royal history. It was once the home of Edward the eighth and the site where he signed his abdication papers in nineteen thirty six to marry Wallace Simpson. Built in the eighteen twenties and once used by Queen Victoria as a tea house, the estate has long been part of the royal family's story. While earlier rumors suggested the Whales family might move into Prince Andrew's Royal Lodge or take a wing at Windsor Castle, neither appears to be an option. Andrew won't budge, and the castle plan is reportedly off the table. That leaves Fort Belvedere currently leased by the Western family as a potential next chapter for William, Kate and the children if they can secure it. For now, it's all unconfirmed, but if true, it would mark the fourth move for the family since their royal life began at Kensington Palace, offering them a new private retreat steeped in both luxury and history.
5:24 Hopefully those fifty nine acres will give Charlotte plenty of room to play. Shutterscoop reports Charles may not like this, claiming the King is fuming as it will take millions to renovate, and Charles sees as an unnecessary extravagance. The report says William and Kate are now focused on privacy, one of Charles's sons and his wife focusing on privacy. Now, where have we heard that before? Palace intrigue? To be right back in this world full of horrible news and bad news stories, why not check out a podcast called five Good News Stories, Just good news, just feel good stuff. It's available from your friends here at calla roga Shark Media.
6:06 It's called five Good News Stories. Wherever you get your podcasts. You're not still thinking about that yacht. There is no yachta, and if there were, it would be sustainable. The Big Issue reminds you that Prince William is working with the homeless, while I didn't point out that approximately five hundred and ninety to one thousand, seven hundred and seventy homes could fit on fifty nine acres depending on the density of the development and the size of the individual plots. Prince William's campaign to tackle homelessness is taking a major step forward with the creation of sixteen new homes for young people in South London. Through his Homewards initiative, William is partnering with Youth Homelessness charity Center Point to convert and existing building on Duchy of Cornwall land in Lambeth into affordable flats, set for completion by the end of twenty twenty six. The project aims to support young people who are already working or on a pathway toward employed, element offering rent rates tied to their earnings to help them bridge the gap between supported accommodation and the private rental market.
7:08 With Lambeth facing some soaring housing costs and more than four thousand households currently in temporary accommodation, the initiative addresses an urgent need. Giton Nander, a national advisor to Homewards called the project a chance for those at risk of homelessness to thrive, adding that stable housing is critical to maintaining employment and long term security. Hello magazine wondered why the president of the Football Association was absent from the Lioness's victory parade. The answer is definitely not that Prince William Loves's vacation. Diamond was on a super yacht, and if he was on a super yacht, it would have been a sustainable super yacht. They have like the email us our addresses the Palace Intrigue at gmail dot com.
