Why King Charles sounds so boring

WEBVTT

00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:14.640
Ah Calorogu shark media, Hi,
and welcome to Palace intrigue A I'm your

2
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:18.120
host mark for answers. In the
Daily Mail, Richard Eden writes about eighty

3
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:22.239
year old Thomas Markle, pointing out
Thomas has never met Prince Archie or Princess

4
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.839
Lilibet, and perhaps even more stunningly, has somehow never met Prince Harry.

5
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:31.879
Eden writes late Queen had realized the
significance of Meghan's estrangement from her father.

6
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:36.679
Meghan's public disagreements with her father set
alarm bells ringing at the time, a

7
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:40.520
royal source tells me Her Majesty realized
the potential damage they could do to the

8
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.719
Royal family in general. Looking back, the Queen might have had an inkling

9
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.679
of what was to come, says
the Saucer. Since then, of course,

10
00:00:47.719 --> 00:00:50.799
Meghan has not only become a strange
from Mister Mirkle, his other children,

11
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.320
and her half brother and sister,
but from the wider royal family also,

12
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.240
as another birthday reminded us this week. In recent months, Harry and

13
00:00:58.280 --> 00:01:00.799
Meghan have given the impression they are
keen to men fences with the Royal family.

14
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:03.840
They appeared eager to let it be
known that they had enjoyed a friendly

15
00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:10.200
phone conversation with King Charles on his
birthday last autumn. Harry certainly rushed to

16
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.280
see his father, flying more than
five thousand miles across the Atlantic after the

17
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:19.040
King's cancer diagnosis was made public.
Yet still the Sussexes seemed determined to risk

18
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.400
conflict. Harry's decision to go ahead
and collect the Pat Tilman Award last week,

19
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.920
just my protests from thousands of people, including the late American hero's own

20
00:01:26.959 --> 00:01:30.120
mother, Mary, was a sign
of the couple's stubborn refusal to heed criticism.

21
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.519
With their popularity seeming on the wayne
in the US, perhaps it's time

22
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.959
that meant a few fences back in
Britain. Author Robert Harman writes in his

23
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:42.680
book Charles the Third New King,
New Court. Of course, the King

24
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:46.280
is extremely sad about Harry and Meghan, but there is a sense of exasperation

25
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.239
that he has done what he can
and now he is king and there are

26
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.760
many more things to think about.
He has tried listening. Now he just

27
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.560
says, I don't want to know
what the problem is. I'm just getting

28
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.799
on with my life. In the
latest episode of their podcast, the Royals

29
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.879
with Royer and Kate. The hosts
delved into the recent setbacks faced by the

30
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:07.799
Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Harry
and Megan. Host Keith Mansey suggested that

31
00:02:07.840 --> 00:02:10.919
the couple's popularity might be waning in
the United States following a series of unsettling

32
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:14.879
events. Kate said, the tide
does seem to be turning. You know,

33
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.680
obviously we've had the former Spotify exec
come out and say they were grifters.

34
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.840
We've had that South Park episode in
which, you know, even worse

35
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.199
than being criticized, they were ridiculed. You know, there were Prince and

36
00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:28.680
Princess of Canada on their worldwide privacy
tour, and I think that you know

37
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:30.919
that there were reports that they were
going to sue South Park over that,

38
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.800
and they said the reports were baseless
and boring, which to me just spoke

39
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.240
of, you know, they were
so angry about the whole thing, they

40
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.439
would come out and say something which
then you know, reignited the whole issue

41
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:44.199
again. And you know, even
the Spectator, which previously had been pretty

42
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:47.120
neutral, said Alas. Harry has
become an unloved figure in the United States

43
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:52.560
as he is in Britain Talk TV
Sarah Houston said, we're told Meghan didn't

44
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:57.639
like playing second fiddle. Well,
they wouldn't have been playing second fiddle right

45
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.360
now, would they. They would
have been front and center and they could

46
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.240
have played such a key role.
And I think it's really really sad to

47
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:07.560
see just how things have changed.
Royal expert Michael Cole seems done with Harry

48
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:12.240
and Megan, telling gb News weren't
they well received in this country? Look

49
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.000
how welcome they were. In Oma
Scoby's book, The Duchess of Sussex says

50
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:19.080
she never wants to come to Britain
again. She never felt comfortable here.

51
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.080
She had a terribly rotten time.
When I'm sure that's a surprise to the

52
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.199
people who stood twenty deep and winds
a great park and cheered them on on

53
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:30.120
their wedding day. There was universal
welcome in the media to the Sussex's breath

54
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.080
of fresh air and a welcome addition
to the royal family. One wonders what

55
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.639
they've got to worry about there.
They are living in California in a hilltop

56
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.639
fortress with two healthy, beautiful children. They've got lots of friends, lots

57
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.479
of money, lots of praise,
lots of fame, and lots of interesting

58
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:52.439
things to do. Call us intrigue
right back, and now my favorite part

59
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:55.360
of the show the reviews. Let's
take a good one for a change.

60
00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:00.000
Milton gave us a five star,
saying my favorite podcast. I love this

61
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.560
podcast, and when I came out
of anesthetic from surgery yesterday, it was

62
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:08.199
the first thing I listened to.
It's the highlight of my day. Milton

63
00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:14.000
Mao via Apple podcasts us of A
June thirtieth, twenty twenty four. Thank

64
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:16.680
you, Milton. So next time
you're having surgery, remember the first thing

65
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:21.360
to do is turn us on and
we'll give you a smile. In the

66
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:25.959
Daily Mail from Hardcastle, wonders did
William and Kate give too much away?

67
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:30.160
When Princess Anne returned to work,
they tweeted super Trooper, so great to

68
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:34.120
see you back so soon, message
that Auntie Anne might appreciate a more.

69
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.879
Reports that medical advice was for the
Princess Royal to rest up over the summer,

70
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:42.920
the results of head injuries not always
being immediately obvious. Banann isn't noted

71
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.399
for doing what she's told. Hard
Castle adds William might have had another reason

72
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.240
to see Anne back so soon she
can share the burdens of investitures. So

73
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:55.279
far this year there have been twenty
five, with Anne presiding at seventeen.

74
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.439
You may be wondering how it's possible
that Charles isn't better at giving speeches.

75
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.399
Sky and Us as lead political correspondent
Sophie Ridge explained why Charles was monotone when

76
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:08.560
addressing parliament King Charles reading out of
the King's speech and the kind of dull

77
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:11.399
monotone you use when you're trying to
get your kids to go to sleep when

78
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:15.360
reading a bedtime story, which is
of course deliberate to show neutrality. Body

79
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.399
language expert Darren Stanton thought Charles seemed
to be a lot more serious and reserved

80
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.120
than Camilla was. He had his
arms by his side, with his head

81
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.519
above his shoulders, and walked with
high levels of importance. He didn't look

82
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:29.519
around, He simply looked straight ahead. This tells us he didn't want to

83
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.720
feel distracted by anything. Charles was
feeling the pressure. We know this as

84
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.639
he was very careful with his body
language and seemed to be feeling conscious of

85
00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:41.519
people watching him. Charles went on
to display a combination of nervousness and enthusiasm.

86
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.160
He generally appeared in control of his
emotions, which proves he was feeling

87
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.160
confident with Camilla by his side.
However, when we looked at his facial

88
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:54.399
expressions, they did display signals of
apprehension at some points. And there you

89
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.680
