1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.480
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intury a

2
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.679
game your host Mark Francis, Thanks to Deep Crown for

3
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.280
filling in for me. Yesterday, William and Kate congratulated Team

4
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.559
Great Britain on their impressive performance at the Paris Olympics

5
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.000
in a star studded video featuring Snoop Dogg, David Beckham

6
00:00:28.039 --> 00:00:32.240
and Prince William's new seasonal beard. Kate making a rare

7
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:35.359
appearance as she undergoes treatment for cancer, opened the message

8
00:00:35.399 --> 00:00:38.280
by saying, from all of us watching at home, congratulations

9
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.759
to Team g B. Wills added, well done on all

10
00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:45.560
you've achieved. You've been an inspiration to us all. The

11
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:47.479
video appears to have been filmed in the garden of

12
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:51.479
their home Adelaide cottage at the Windsor Castle Grounds. Cynical

13
00:00:51.520 --> 00:00:53.560
podcasts might think the beard is a good way to

14
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.920
stop people from talking about Harry and Meghan's upcoming faux

15
00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:01.679
royal trip. Judy James analyzed appearance and body language telling

16
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:05.400
the Sun William's more rugged marcho look here isn't just

17
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:08.719
signaled by the stubby facial hair. There's a nice portion

18
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.280
of chest hair fighting to escape from his v neck

19
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.040
plus the lip clamped pucket smile as he listens to

20
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.120
his wife speak. She highlighted how his more relaxed appearance

21
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.280
suggests he has been fully immersing himself in family time,

22
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.200
even ditching the razor like so many dads do when

23
00:01:24.319 --> 00:01:27.719
taking a break from work. Maybe Harry should try a

24
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:32.319
scruffy beard. Oh wait, never, never mind. A source tells

25
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:34.480
The Daily Mail that Catherine, the Princess of Wales is

26
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.599
recovering well and looking forward to some much needed downtime

27
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.000
in Norfolk. The source added that the trip will give

28
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:42.200
her a chance to take it easy while the children

29
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.359
enjoy them outdoor fun with Prince William. The family has

30
00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:49.319
retreated to Ambner Hall, a secluded Georgian mansion on the

31
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.120
vast Sandringham estate. This red brick residence, a wedding gift

32
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:54.920
from the late Queen, has been the families go to

33
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.799
escape for some privacy and relaxation. The ten bedroom property,

34
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.680
just a short drive from Sandringham House, underwent a one

35
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:05.120
point five million pound renovation and features amenities like a

36
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:08.039
swimming pool in tennis court, making it an ideal spot

37
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.719
for the families to unwind away from the public eye.

38
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:14.960
Some believe there will be a royal summit this week.

39
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.240
Royal commentator Jenny Bonder tells Okay it would be slightly

40
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.199
odd if the family were all together for once and

41
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.960
didn't mull over what has happened and how they proceed

42
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:25.599
in the future. Back in the nineties, there was a

43
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:29.800
more formal setup when senior royals discussed strategy in a

44
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.080
forum known as the Way Ahead Group. Its aim was

45
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.400
to ensure that the monarchy stayed irrelevant to the modern age.

46
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.680
There may be some similar discussions in bow Moral. William

47
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.120
is certainly preoccupied with keeping the monarchy relevant. But essentially,

48
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.199
this is a holiday for the royals, time to stop

49
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.039
worrying about everything and, like other families on holiday, just

50
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.159
breathe in the fresh air, relax and enjoy one another's company.

51
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.639
A source tells Okay that from Meghan, this week's faux

52
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.240
royal tour is to show how much the Royal family

53
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.639
misses her. Meghan sees this Columbia tour chance to prove

54
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:02.280
to the world what a big star she is and

55
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.800
how much the Royal family misses her. She knows how

56
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.039
much she can turn it on, and doing events like

57
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.240
this was the one thing about royal life that appealed

58
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.319
to her. She was furious when that was taken away

59
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.280
because she knows she's such an asset. According to a

60
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:17.680
well placed inside her there has been a gentle reminder

61
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:21.840
to avoid posting social media photos from family events. The

62
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:25.400
source explained to The Express it's a private family holiday.

63
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.919
Due to extended members of the family joining this year,

64
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.199
they are trying to keep everything as private as possible.

65
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:32.800
There are a lot of teenagers in attendance and there

66
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:34.639
would be nothing worse than seeing a photo of King

67
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:37.000
Charles trying to force a potato into his mouth on

68
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:41.479
social media. Official social media accounts, however, will still be active,

69
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.680
with all the posts being preapproved by the communications team.

70
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:48.080
Queen Camilla's children and grandchildren are set to join the

71
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:50.759
royal family at Balmoral, where they will stay in the

72
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.520
main castle, typically used for entertaining guests. Camilla is a

73
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.599
proud grandmother of five, with her son Tom Parker Bowls

74
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.319
having two children, Lola sixteen and Fred fourteen, and her

75
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.439
daughter Laura Lopes having three children Eliza sixteen fourteen year

76
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:09.719
old twins Louis and Guss. The younger royals attending include

77
00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.879
Prince George eleven, Princess Charlotte named Prince Louis six, along

78
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.680
with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh's children, Lady Louise

79
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:20.000
Windsor nineteen and James Earl of Wessex sixteen. Mike and

80
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:23.360
Zara Tendall's three children, Mia tan Lena six and Lucas

81
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.839
three are also expected that they might leave early as

82
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.279
Zarah has entered the Wellington International Horse Trials at the

83
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.199
end of August. Peter Phillips and his next wife, Autumn Kelly,

84
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.839
are also expected with their daughters Savannah thirteen and Isla twelve.

85
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:38.759
While extended family members and guests will stay in the

86
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.199
main castle, senior royals like King Charles and Queen Camilla

87
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.079
will reside at Birkhall, and Prince William, Princess Kate and

88
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:47.240
their children will stay at Tamnika, a cottage gifted to

89
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:50.199
William by his late great grandmother, the Queen Mother. The

90
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.879
source noted the King and Queen will remain at Birkhall

91
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.040
and will attend to dinners and events at the main Castle,

92
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.040
but it's not somewhere they stay themselves. The same goes

93
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.920
for William and Kate. King Charles be on the Baumoral

94
00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.759
estate until early September, and is expected to host Prime

95
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:07.040
Minister Keir Starmer, his wife Lady Victoria, and their children

96
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:10.639
as part of the summer tradition. Palace intrigued me right back.

97
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:18.079
Jeremy Clarkson didn't mince words when he slammed Megan Markle

98
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.079
for her twenty nineteen baby shower, calling the event stupid

99
00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:23.560
and unroyal. It is column for the Sunday Times, and

100
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.759
no we're not doing a five year old story. Clarkson

101
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:29.519
reflected on how public sentiment toward private jets has shifted. Clarkson,

102
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.000
who drove high powered sports cars on TV for a living,

103
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.240
wrote today, however, things are changing. The Duchess of Sussex

104
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.480
was criticized for taking a private jet to attend her

105
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:39.639
baby shower in New York, and not just because a

106
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.959
baby shower is a stupid, unroyal thing to do. The

107
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.399
Queen's former press secretary, Dickie Arbiter also weighed in, telling

108
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.560
US Weekly that baby showers up very much an American thing.

109
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.399
We don't do it here in the UK. The private

110
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.800
jet Megan used for the trip was reportedly provided by

111
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.519
George and Aml Clooney Adding to the criticism, Arbitas suggested

112
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.879
that this choice wasn't wise for some of royal status,

113
00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:03.120
noting it was a bit over the top in terms

114
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:05.160
of expense and the way she got there. Megan is

115
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.480
American and she does things the American way. Royal commentator

116
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:11.600
IRMERT Scoby shared, I remember speaking to a palisade at

117
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:13.959
the time who rolled their eyes. They were horrified that

118
00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:16.600
something so common was happening within the House of Windsor.

119
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.399
In some uplifting flying news, London's Air Ambulance Charity has

120
00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:24.920
successfully reached its fundraising goal, surpassing an impressive fifteen million

121
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.920
pound target. Prince William, who has been a passionate supporter

122
00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.120
of the charity, expressed his delight, saying I am absolutely

123
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.680
thrilled that London's Air Ambulance Charity has reached its fundraising goal.

124
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:37.399
This vital service is one that we simply cannot afford

125
00:06:37.439 --> 00:06:40.639
to lose and the generosity shown by everyone who contributed

126
00:06:40.879 --> 00:06:44.279
is truly inspiring. This is an achievement that will undoubtedly

127
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:48.240
save countless lives and the future, and they have it.
