00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:13.000
Ah Calarogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome through palace intrigue,

2
00:00:13.039 --> 00:00:17.120
am your host, Frances Prince. Harry was afraid to show

3
00:00:17.199 --> 00:00:20.879
Meghan Markle how small it is. We are, of course

4
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:24.480
talking about Nottingham Cottage. The Express took advantage of a

5
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:27.359
slow news cycle to remind us that. Harry wrote in Spare,

6
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.199
I was excited to welcome Meg to my home, but

7
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:34.439
it was embarrassed. Not Coott was no palace, Not Kott

8
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:37.079
was Pallas adjacent. That was the best you could say

9
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.560
for it. In the new biography of Kate, Robert Jobson writes,

10
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.000
it is understood that when Meghan and Harry had gone

11
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.920
round to have drinks at William and Catherine's apartment while

12
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.920
they were still living at Nottingham Cottage opposite, Meghan had

13
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:53.159
been taken aback at the disparity between the brothers. I'm

14
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.439
not saying Meghan was jealous, but she was really surprised

15
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:58.759
how lavish Harry's brother was living compared to where they

16
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.920
were living, said it close source. It was perhaps the

17
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.879
beginning of all the tensions between the two couples. Megan

18
00:01:04.959 --> 00:01:07.200
understood that William was above her husband and the royal

19
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.120
pecking order is heir to the throne, but she thought

20
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.760
Harry was also a royal prince, so he deserved more

21
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:18.000
materially royal. Commentator Camilla Tommeny has compared Megan Mikale to

22
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:21.239
Kamala Harris, and the piece titled Kamala Harris is the

23
00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:24.840
Megan Mirkle of American politics. One wonders if that's a

24
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.239
good thing. Perhaps we should skin the article. Tomminy wrote,

25
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:31.599
there had always been something strangely familiar about Kamala Harris,

26
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.239
but they couldn't quite put my finger on it until

27
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:37.439
she emerged from Joe Biden's shadow. After the US President

28
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:41.959
announced his resignation, the pensiont for spouting words salad, the

29
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:45.879
slightly awkward misplaced laughter, the courting of chat show hosts,

30
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.159
the celebrity iPhone moments, the loathing of Donald Trump, the

31
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:54.120
unfortunate bullying allegations, and then the penny dropped Megan. Kamala

32
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.439
Harris reminds me of the Duchess of Sussex. Both Megan

33
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.920
and Kamala spout this sort of pseudo spiritual psychobabble that

34
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:04.040
sounds perfectly progressive but doesn't always make that much sense.

35
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.239
The Duchess once declared, reflecting on where it came from

36
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.240
helps me appreciate and balance what I have now. But

37
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.759
on reflection, might she have preferred to have come up

38
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:16.599
with Harris's now infamous catchphrase what can be unburdened by

39
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:19.680
what has been? I mean, if you heard Mergan uttering

40
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.599
those words at some point during the Sussexes twenty nineteen

41
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.479
tour of South Africa, you really wouldn't have batted an

42
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.199
eyelid so accustomed had you become to her sociology degree

43
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:34.080
speaking style. Meghan has not yet publicly endorsed Harris for president,

44
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.479
but it can surely only be a matter of time.

45
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:39.759
Heat World took a look at what a second Harry

46
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.400
book might contain. Their source says, it's got to be

47
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.840
a tough spot for Harry to be in because this

48
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.400
publisher is putting a ton of pressure on him to

49
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.479
deliver some more salacious details on the Royals. It's not

50
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.159
exactly like his family have been very forgiving, so no

51
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:56.840
doubt there's some feeling on Harry's part that he's got

52
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:58.919
nothing left to lose. But if he wants any chance

53
00:02:58.919 --> 00:03:02.439
of a relationship, he'd be a fool to cave. The

54
00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:04.800
Royals still can't believe some of the things Harry said

55
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.520
in his book, and it will go down in history

56
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.159
as one of the biggest betrayals of the monarchy in

57
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.960
modern memory. For him to rub salt in the wounds

58
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.120
again for his own personal gain would send him so

59
00:03:15.159 --> 00:03:17.840
far into the doghouse that there'd be no way back.

60
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:22.400
It would ruin any chance of reconciliation. Harry is still

61
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.360
extremely defiant about his book, and he insists that telling

62
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:28.439
his truth was something he needed to do, whatever the repercussions.

63
00:03:28.759 --> 00:03:30.759
Looking back, he could have gone easier on Kate and

64
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.199
dial back his obvious disdain towards Camilla, but all in all,

65
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.479
he's pleased with the way it turned out. He always

66
00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.120
assumed that the first edition of Spare would be something

67
00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:41.520
of a template for him to re release and add

68
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.400
to in the years that followed. The harsh reality is

69
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.719
that there's very little to include at this point besides

70
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.919
his experience being ostracized by the Royals. Sure, he and

71
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.800
Megan could describe their love story more, but it's not

72
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.280
as though they really could brag about how they've conquered

73
00:03:55.280 --> 00:03:58.639
Hollywood or won over the liberal US political elite, any

74
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.560
additional material would be construed as lame, and the fact

75
00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:03.479
publishers aren't lining up to write him a big Jack

76
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.280
tells its own story as far as the perceived marketability.

77
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.360
Royal expert Katie Nicholls suggests people are being pressured to

78
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:13.560
take science and the war between the brothers and the

79
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:17.959
crown is winning out over the suits. Nichols said, I

80
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.240
think if you look back at that recent society wedding

81
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.839
of the Duke of Westminster, it was William who got

82
00:04:22.839 --> 00:04:25.079
the invite to that, and Harry was invited because they've

83
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.759
been friends forever and a day. But he was basically

84
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.439
asked to stand down from that wedding because it would

85
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:32.360
have been very awkward to have the two brothers at

86
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:35.839
a society wedding like that together. I remember being told

87
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:37.560
by someone at the Palace and there was this sense

88
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:39.800
that you had to put your stake in one camp

89
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.639
or the other. I think the ties have been severed.

90
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:45.879
I think there is a sense that possibly friends, close friends,

91
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.000
society friends, celebrity friends have sort of had to make

92
00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:52.639
a little bit of a choice. A source told Okay,

93
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:54.839
Harry often feels guilty for Megan having to give up

94
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.279
on her dream life and he knows how much she

95
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.959
sacrificed to marry him and have a family with him,

96
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.279
so he will support her no matter what. She has

97
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.319
quite a few work commitments coming up, but this is

98
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.800
just the beginning of Meghan's big comeback and she'll be

99
00:05:07.800 --> 00:05:11.439
doing things on her own terms. That's great news for us.

100
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:15.959
Thanks Meghan. Keep the projects coming ballas intrigue me right back.

101
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.680
Charles may need to give his publicist a raise after

102
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.920
this glowing story in The Guardian focusing on his Majesty's greenness.

103
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.879
Tony Juniper, chair of Natural England and a former executive

104
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:33.839
director of Friends of the Earth, highlighted Charles's long standing

105
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:38.160
environmental advocacy, stating there is no doubt that our Monarch,

106
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:40.680
our head of State, is a very committed and very

107
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:46.000
effective environmentalist. Further changes include the installation of solar panels

108
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.879
at Windsor Castle and the modernization of gas Lantin's at

109
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:53.480
Buckingham Palace to improve energy efficiency. However, the Royal family's

110
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.680
use of helicopters remains, with two new models arriving soon

111
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.680
to replace the existing ones. These new helicopters will operate

112
00:05:59.720 --> 00:06:03.800
with up to fifty percent sustainable aviation fuel, reflecting the

113
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:08.399
Royal Household's commitment to balancing environmental concerns with operational needs.

114
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.879
Last year, Charles appointed a new head of Sustainability to

115
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:15.519
accelerate his net and zero ambitions. The Royal Household's report

116
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:20.639
emphasized the urgency of addressing climate change and biodiversity loss,

117
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:25.399
highlighting their role in taking action, demonstrating leadership and inspiring others.

118
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:29.720
Reflecting on Charles' environmental advocacy, Junipus said he's trying to

119
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.000
be consistent in his personal life with a far bigger

120
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.600
contribution that he's made, which is brokering agreements across chasms

121
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:39.160
of disagreement that have dogged progress over many decades. His

122
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.319
proud history of advocacy and change making leaves him in

123
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.800
a very strong position as monarch to embody those values.
