William and Kate’s “Forever Home” Sparks Evictions—and Eyebrows

0:03 Calorougus Shark Media, Hello and welcome through Palace Injury again your host Mark Rancis. Hello Magazine is apparently okay with the future king and family seemingly almost always being on vacation, they write, William and Kate will joined the King at his abid and sheer retreat for the Whales who visited Europe earlier in the school holidays, the trip will enable them to relax in privacy and spend precious time with the King, who relishes being with his grandchildren. Grandpa Wales, as the youngsters named him when he was still the Prince of Wales, will almost certainly take the children on nature walks around the estate. All that time on the secret super yacht must have been exhausting. Meanwhile, William and Kate's moved to Forest Lodge comes with consequences for some two families previously living in nearby Crown Estate cottages have been asked to vacate, reportedly to maintain privacy around the royal couple's new residents. While the tenants were not formally evicted and have since been re housed within the estate, sources said they were surprised by the request to move when inside a remark. Those houses are very close to the lodge, so they're not going to want any Tom Dick or Harry living in those houses if they are going to be royals there. Let's take a second to imagine a headline in which Harry and Meghan are requesting people move so that they can have privacy. Our royal inside at deep Ground tells us her Late Majesty would

1:33 have raised an eyebrow that. I can tell you. The bit that's got my backup is these poor families being turfed out of their cottages so that whales can have their privacy. Surprised to be ordered to leave according to the reports, I mean really, this is exactly the sort of high handed nonsense that gets people's backs up about the monarchy. Elizabeth would have been mortified, absolutely mortified at the headlines this generates The Queen lived at the same desk, the same study for seventy years. She understood that stability, real stability comes from within, not from your postcode. The eight bedrooms Verses four is interesting too. They're clearly settling in for the long haul, planning to stay even when William becomes king. Smart planning or give them that, but the symbolism of needing more space, more privacy, more distance.

2:20 It rather goes against everything the late Queen stood for about being accessible and present even when circumstances were beastly In the Royalist Thom Sykes writes for a couple who seem keen on staying relatable, the spinning of this house moves lands somewhere between baffling and plains stupid. William has spent the past year casting himself as a reformer who wants to make the monarchy fit for purpose. But it's hard to imagine anything less modern or relatable than announcing, during the worst cost of living crisis in decades that your moving house to emotionally reset and your new house happens to be a manner on crown landworth north of sixteen million pounds. The late Queen well Of approved the move itself. Kings and queens do live in palaces not cottages after all, but would never have had the goal to pitch such a move as a therapeutic necessity. You guys want a bigger house, just own it. Lest you think Kate is some sort of always vacationing princess who have vexed people from their homes. The media wants you to know about the sacrifices she makes. A cast member of the Real Housewives of London. Panthea Parker, whose children attend Lambrook School alongside Prince George, Princess Arlotte and Prince Lewis, told her own magazine that Catherine never misses her children's matches.

3:33 Parker explained, I see her quite a few times because my son's school plays against her son's school, so they play rugby and football against each other, so we're always at her school and my school. I do see her a lot, but not to talk to. Just from afar. Though not personally close to the princess, Parker said the royal has left a lasting impression, describing her as classy and so lovely. She added, the sacrifice of never missing any of her children's matches is really amazing. Parker did not comment, and all the horrible mum who never attend any matches because they are working in the afternoon more palace In just a moment, King Charles began his summer retreat at Bowmorral Castle, continuing a long standing royal tradition with the formal arrival ceremony at the Gates of the historic Scottish estate. Dressed in a traditional tweet jacket and kilt, the King inspected a guard of honor from Balaklav Company, fifth Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Scotland. He was also greeted by one of the monarchy's most endearing ceremonial figures, Corporal Creatian the Fourth, the Shetland Pony, mascot of the regiment, known for his cheeky antics, including once nibbling Prince Harry's fingers and taking a bite out of the late Queen's bouquet.

4:42 The pony behaved impeccably this time for the King. Prince Andrew has quietly arrived at bow Moral. According to a source who told the Male's Richard Eden, Andrew arrived at bow Moral on Friday. He was on his own, with none of the security he used to have. He is believed to be staying at a lodge on the estate. It is not yet knowing whether he and the Duke of York will spend any time with Charles. The King is being stalked by a panther. There are fresh reports of a large panther like creature near High Grove House. A local dog walker said she witnessed the animal cornering of fox at dusk before her three dogs startled it and sent it running. The fox she appeared to stick close by afterwards, seemingly seeking protection. Big cat expert recommend Her, who investigates such sightings and runs a podcast on the subject, confirmed he is looking into the case. He noted that another resident recently described seeing a black panther stalking deer near Stroud, with the animals fur reflecting an orange hue that suggested a leopard in its black form. The reports coincidentally come as mister Minta curates an exhibition titled depicting Britain's Beasts the Art of British Big Cats at the Nature in Art Gallery in Gloucester, which runs until Friday.

5:54 What should be a joyful milestone choosing a godparent for his newborn daughter, has become a diplomatic type rope for the Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grovenor, as the chasm between Prince William and Prince Harry continues to complicate matters behind Pallace Gates. The Duke and his wife Olivia welcomed their first child, a daughter named Cosima, last month, and while William has reportedly already been asked to be a godfather. The couple is said to still be considering whether to extend the same honor to Harry. Grovenor is one of the very few individuals who has maintained close personal ties with both brothers since childhood. In fact, he has already godfather to both Prince George and Prince Archie, making him the only mutual friend trusted with such a role by both households. Grovenor's own wedding to Olivia Hanson last year in Chester was a subtle but telling moment in the feud.

6:40 That the Sussexes were initially invited, the couple ultimately did not attend, reportedly to avoid any drama or media frenzy that might detract from the occasion. William meanwhile served as an usher. It's incredibly sad it has come to this, one friend of the brothers told The Times. Hugh is one of very close friends of William and Harry's who has maintained strong bonds and a line of communication with both. But he realizes it's unlikely to patch up before the wedding.
