00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.919
Calorougus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas in Triggam.
2
00:00:13.919 --> 00:00:17.480
Your host Mark Francis. Prince William is aiming to shape
3
00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:20.039
his royal role to fit a new era, one that
4
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.960
connects more directly with younger generations. Wrapping up his recent
5
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:27.199
trip to South Africa for the earth Shot Environmental Prize,
6
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:30.000
he told reporters he sees himself approaching the role with
7
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.920
maybe a smaller r in the Royal indicating he wants
8
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:38.560
a less formal, more impactful path. For William, the traditional
9
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:41.640
pomp and ceremony of royalty can feel misaligned with his
10
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:47.679
goals and style. Instead, he's championing impact, philanthropy, collaboration, convening
11
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:51.079
and helping people with a strong dose of empathy. I
12
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:53.960
think we could do with some more empathetic leadership around
13
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:56.280
the world, he said, hinting at this hope for a
14
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.920
fresh approach both for himself and for global leadership. Throughout
15
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.560
the trip, William was more candid than usual, sharing moments
16
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:06.280
about his life and family. He joked about trying to
17
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:10.319
stick to a sustainable wardrobe, handling beard complaints from his
18
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:13.359
daughter and the Papa bracelet she made for him after
19
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.280
they saw the Taylor Swift Concert together. The theme of
20
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.799
not enough Royals to go around popped up again on Monday,
21
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.040
as it was the Duchess of Edinburgh Sophie earning high
22
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.799
praise for her role leading the Armistice Day Service at
23
00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:33.079
the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. Today, Sophie took center
24
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.640
stage at the service of Remembrance, where she recited lines
25
00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:38.560
from the Poem for the Fallen by Lawrence Binyon before
26
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.040
observing a two minute silence at eleven am. Her dignified
27
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.400
presence and touching reading of the poem resonated with the public,
28
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.840
with many taking to social media to commend her. One
29
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.319
fan called her a credit to our nation, while others
30
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.640
noted her serene and calm manner, describing her as a
31
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.079
valuable asset to the royal family. Sophie's presence at this
32
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:02.400
event marks her second recent appearance in remembrance ceremonies. On Sunday,
33
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:05.560
she joined King Charles and the Princess of Wales Cenotaph,
34
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.680
where she wore a vintage Valentino ensemble and shared a
35
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:12.280
moment of comroaderie with Princess Catherine, placing a supportive hand
36
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:14.960
on her back, a gesture noted for its warmth and
37
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.639
symbolic support for the future. Queen Prince Harry released a
38
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.159
statement which reads, my fellow veterans, as we mark both
39
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:25.759
Veterans Day and Remembrance Day, I reaffirm my lifelong admiration
40
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.639
and appreciation for the service and sacrifice you and your
41
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:31.319
families have made both in times of conflict and peace.
42
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.280
You have played a vital role in defending the values
43
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:37.800
of liberty, freedom and security. These values bind us together
44
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.680
and have shaped you as leaders and role models at
45
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:44.240
a time of global uncertainty. Remember the unity and purpose
46
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.039
that defined your service, and do not hesitate to put
47
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.719
that into action into your communities. That same spirit should
48
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:53.919
guide all of us in facing today's challenges. Your example
49
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.360
and morality demonstrate that true power lies in our ability
50
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:02.319
to unite and confront the obstacles before us. Hello Magazine
51
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:05.599
noticed that possible former sex bomb Princess Anne changed her
52
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.840
hair and made an, of course stylish appearance at the
53
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:12.199
Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at London's Royal Albert Hall.
54
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.400
But notably, Princess Anne's iconic updo seemed darker than her
55
00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:19.680
usual shade. The princess has been loyal to her signature
56
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:23.280
ruptue since her teenage years, even styling it herself shortly
57
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.400
after the births of her children, Peter and Zara. Wild
58
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:29.159
hairstyles among the Royals have evolved over the decades, AND's
59
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:31.800
dedication to her beehive style has made it one of
60
00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.840
the royal family's most enduring looks, even if it is
61
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:43.199
no Ah shade, Darker Palace intrigue, b radback. Daniella also
62
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.159
took a look at the US elections in the Peaceport
63
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.240
News dot co dot au. She noted that Kamala Harris
64
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:52.599
appeared to lack one notable celebrity endorsement. Also writes, the
65
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.520
most famous biracial woman in the world failed to come
66
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.800
out and endorse the second most famous biracial woman in
67
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:02.280
the world, a sce that defies rational explanation and is
68
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:07.120
guaranteed to result in some unflattering consternationy frown lines. You're
69
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.280
going to ask me why, and I have no idea
70
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.879
as I type. Hundreds of millions of American citizens have
71
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.800
just made their voices heard on the very simple question
72
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:17.120
of whether they support basic things like a woman's right
73
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:19.480
to choose, or whether they would prefer to deport anyone
74
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:23.319
who can correctly pronounce where was from Cerros. We have
75
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:25.639
to assume that there is only one candidate that the
76
00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:29.519
Sussex household backs, and yet Montecito has been nearly totally
77
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.600
silent in the lead up to election day. Go back
78
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:34.959
even further to twenty sixteen, when the Duchess was newly
79
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.240
dating man who can't vote, Harry, and she threw her
80
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.240
suits at stardom such as it was behind Hillary Clinton,
81
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:46.360
calling now convicted felon Donald Trump misogynistic and divisive. Yet
82
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.560
here we are, in twenty twenty four years on from
83
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:51.240
them having been officially cut loose by the Palace with
84
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.079
more freedom and independence and communication staffers than they could
85
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:57.680
poken artisanal, locally sourced stick at. So you would have
86
00:04:57.680 --> 00:04:59.879
thought it would be a given that the Sussexes would
87
00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:02.920
pla and even more vocal and visible presence this time around.
88
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:06.439
The sum total of the Monte Seaton contribution to this
89
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.079
year's election cycle on this front came in September on
90
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.839
National Voter Registration Day, when the Artible Foundation team came
91
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.240
together for a meaningful volunteer activity to support and empower
92
00:05:16.319 --> 00:05:20.360
our communities, with Harry and Meghan very conspicuously missing in action.
93
00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.839
A few photos of staffers doing paperwork, no matter how
94
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.079
well intentioned, is a bit of a limp sausage to
95
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.240
an effort. Not only has Meghan failed to explicitly and
96
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.279
proudly endorse Carmela, but the couple has also in no
97
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:35.800
way inserted themselves into the election story this time, and
98
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:38.920
it is simply too strange for words. Could we put
99
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.079
this bizarre silence down to Harry and Meghan after a bruising,
100
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:46.079
battering few years in the eyeover never blowing out media storm,
101
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:49.040
wanting to keep their heads down. That might make sense,
102
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:52.319
But also these are people whose brands and public identities,
103
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.199
not to mention personal passions are all about doing what
104
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.199
is right and not what is easy. Or could the
105
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:01.720
motivation be commercial? Maybe they don't want to risk becoming
106
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:05.399
to polarizing, or risk becoming culture walk cannon fodder and
107
00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:08.079
putting off potential viewers, to which I'd say, while that
108
00:06:08.199 --> 00:06:11.079
horse bolted so long ago, it's crossed several sets of
109
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.720
state lines. The Mail on Sundays, Charlotte Griffith had her
110
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.600
own take, saying Harry will definitely be keeping his head
111
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:20.040
down and definitely burying it in the sand, and possibly
112
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.399
even running away to Portugal when he's got a new house.
113
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.319
I think that house in Portugal is going to come
114
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.399
in very handy over the coming months, not least because
115
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.639
Trump said if I get made president, he will have
116
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:33.319
nowhere to hide. Harry and Megan are the king and
117
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:35.879
Queen of woke and America is not a very woke
118
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.279
place when Trump is in charge, so Megan will be distraught.
119
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.079
I'm amazed she didn't come out in support of Kamala Harris.
120
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:44.079
She didn't say anything, but I think she will be
121
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:48.240
feeling pretty miserable this week. And there you have it.
