00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.440
Hello and welcome through Palace Intrigue. I am your host

6
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.039
Mark Classes. Is Harry planning on visiting the family this

7
00:00:29.239 --> 00:00:32.600
summer and inside a told Closer magazine Harry is very

8
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:34.679
anxious to go home and see his dad, catch up

9
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.119
with his friends for his birthday in September, and also

10
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.399
pay a visit to his aunt, Princess Anne, But that

11
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:43.280
situation hasn't changed for Megan. She's respectful that Harry has

12
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.960
to go back to his home for practical and emotional reasons,

13
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:48.200
but that doesn't mean she's going to go with him.

14
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.719
The source added, she's got way too much on her

15
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:52.799
plate with the brand and her new cooking show, as

16
00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.439
well as looking after the kids. The last thing she

17
00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:57.280
needs is the stress of going back to the UK,

18
00:00:57.719 --> 00:01:00.399
where she fears she'd be heckled again in public, which

19
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.799
she finds incredibly painful. Pr expert Lynn Carrott suggests Megan

20
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.799
could increase her popularity by not constantly playing in her

21
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:12.040
royal connections, like on her and Harry's relaunched website. To

22
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.000
become more relatable to the British public, Megan can consider

23
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.040
toning down her use of designer labels and opting for

24
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.200
frugal options like Kate. Showing herself as a normal working

25
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:23.840
mum who was facing the same challenges as others would

26
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.239
also help the public often dislikes the hypocrisy of her

27
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.959
showing off her privileged life while trying to resonate and

28
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.439
relate to those less fortunate than her. In The Daily Mail,

29
00:01:33.519 --> 00:01:37.319
Richard Eden writes under the headline insincere Megan were sending

30
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.040
out warning signs from the start. Only now do royal

31
00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:44.000
sources admit they missed them. BBC News presenter Micheal Hussain

32
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:46.920
recently broke her silence in response to the Duchess of

33
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:51.439
Sussex's critique of a twenty seventeen television interview marking Meghan

34
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.959
and Harry's engagement. This unexpected reaction from Hussein, known for

35
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.239
her restraint, has created a stir Michele is not easily rile,

36
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:02.079
to put it moreldly, so this is a notable intervention.

37
00:02:02.359 --> 00:02:06.000
A BBC source confided she clearly felt strong about it.

38
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.960
The controversy originated from the twenty twenty two Netflix docu

39
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.479
series Harry and Meghan, where Meghan suggested Hassain's interview was

40
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:16.479
akin to an orchestrated reality show. It was, you know, rehearsed,

41
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:18.879
Meghan remarked, So we did the thing out with the

42
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.280
press and then we went right inside, took the kotoff,

43
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.360
sat down and did the interview. So it was all

44
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.680
in that same moment. A senior royal source revealed that

45
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:29.639
Meghan had complained about Assain's lack of empathy and warmth

46
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:33.280
during the interview. Meghan reportedly would have preferred Oprah Winfrey,

47
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:37.599
fellow American, to conduct the interview. In the August edition

48
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:41.560
of Saga magazine, Hassein expressed her astonishment at Meghan's remarks

49
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.919
when the Duchess of Sussex said that my engagement interview

50
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.080
with her and Harry was an orchestrated reality show. I

51
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.439
didn't know what to make of it. The same rights,

52
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.240
they seemed to have thought through what their new lives

53
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:55.360
would be like and what marriage would mean for her life.

54
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:58.520
In particular, there was nothing that pointed to what would happen.

55
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.400
It was to people were full of joying each other

56
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.479
and life, Eden tells us this week. Sources from the

57
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:08.360
royal household who were present during the twenty seventeen interview

58
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:12.240
suggested Meghan's performance should have raised more concerns. A source

59
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.680
said at the time, there was so much excitement about

60
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.879
the engagement that no one really questioned some of Meghan's comments.

61
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:19.639
But if you watch it again now, some of her

62
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:24.039
responses seeman sincere and her body language is telling. In

63
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:27.520
twenty seventeen, Meghan claimed ignorance about Harry and the Royal family, saying,

64
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:29.759
because I'm from the States, you don't grow up with

65
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.479
the same understanding of the Royal family. I didn't know

66
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:35.080
much about him yet. It later emerged that Meghan had

67
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:37.680
a long standing interest in the Royal family, including a

68
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.039
visit to Buckingham Palace at age fifteen with her friend Nanaki.

69
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.639
Pretty Pretty commented, I'm not shocked at all. It's like

70
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:47.039
she has been planning this all her life. Meghan gets

71
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.560
exactly what she wants, and Harry has fallen for her play.

72
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.319
She was always fascinated by the Royal family. She wants

73
00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.080
to be Princess Diana two point zero. She will play

74
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.319
her role ably, but my advice to him is to

75
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:03.240
tread cautiously speculations about a potential alliance between Meghan Markele

76
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.680
and Kamala Harris, especially as Vice President Harris prepares for

77
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.719
the upcoming presidential race against Donald Trump. Megan, known for

78
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.280
her support of the Democratic Party, might endorse Harris. Megan

79
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.519
expressed her excitement about Harris's candidacy in a twenty twenty

80
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.399
conversation with Gloria Steinham, saying I'm so excited to see

81
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.480
that kind of representation for me being biracial growing up,

82
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.639
whether it was a doll or a person in office,

83
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:27.399
you need to see someone who looks like you in

84
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:32.000
some capacity. Kimsey Schofield, a royal commentator, highlighted the potential

85
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.519
impact of an endorsement from Megan and Prince Harry, noting

86
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:37.000
Newsweek took a poll asking how many people would be

87
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:39.439
influenced by a potential endorsement from the Duke and Duchess

88
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.399
of Sussex, and forty percent said they would be influenced.

89
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.759
Chofield added, Megan wants to be included. This is a

90
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:51.079
potentially very historic election. Sheffield also reflected on Meghan's political involvement,

91
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.480
mentioning we saw her in twenty twenty work with Stacy Abrams,

92
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.000
Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, and Michelle Obama to do campaigns

93
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.040
for women voting, getting women to the polls. Rumors have

94
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.639
circulated about Meghan's aspirations for political office since she stepped

95
00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.639
down from royal duties in twenty twenty and returned to California. Schofield, however,

96
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.680
expressed some doubts. I don't feel like she has tough

97
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.000
enough skin, but I do believe that this is important

98
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.439
to her. During the twenty twenty presidential election, Megan and

99
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:21.319
Prince Harry appeared to support President Joe Biden subtlely. Megan

100
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:23.920
had called Donald Trump divisive, and during the Times one

101
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.279
hundred event on ABC, both suggested that Americans deserved change,

102
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:31.120
which was a very subtle endorsement of Joe Biden at

103
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:38.120
the time. Palacintric could be right back. On Jeremy Vayne's

104
00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.920
Channel five show, a lively discussion erupted among the panelists

105
00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.480
regarding Harry and Meghan Mirkle's treatment by the royal family

106
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:47.360
in the British press. The debate intensified when a caller

107
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.399
named Angela voiced her opinions on the matter. Angela accused

108
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.560
the British public and media of building people up only

109
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.000
to tear them down, drawing a parallel between Prince Harry

110
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:58.879
and his mother, Princess Diana. That's precisely what they've done

111
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.279
with Harry, she asserted, Expressing her frustration. She claimed that

112
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:04.639
the media gained up on Harry like they did with Diana,

113
00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:08.920
and supported Harry's criticisms of the press. Broadcaster Mike Parry

114
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.879
disagreed with Angela's perspective. He defended the media's role, explaining

115
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.240
that the Royal family is a long standing public institution

116
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.360
has always had a symbiotic relationship with the press. It's

117
00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:20.959
an arrangement which both sides have worked heavily with since

118
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:24.120
the Second World War, he said. Parry suggested that Harry

119
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.439
and Meghan's desire to be treated as superstars within the

120
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:30.199
family led to their difficulties. Angela counted by claiming that

121
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.680
the Royal family and the press were conspiring to destroy

122
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.800
Harry and Meghan. Perry refutured this, stating they're not trying

123
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:37.560
to destroy them. What do you mean nobody's trying to

124
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:41.879
destroy Harry and Meghan. Vocal coach Carrie Grant sided with Angela,

125
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.639
arguing that there is a double standard in how Meghan

126
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.560
and Kate Middleton are treated by the medium. If you

127
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.879
look at everything that Princess Kate does, she can do

128
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:52.879
no wrong. Meghan can do no right, even if she

129
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:56.720
does exactly the same thing. And then you have it
