William Reportedly Furious (Yet Again) With Camilla as Harry Faces New Criticism and Andrew Comes Under Fresh Pressure

0:00 Ah Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark Francis William is furious yet again, at least according to Rada Online. The Prince, often photographed having a nice time with his wife and children, or perhaps having a pint with locals, is supposedly unhappy the Queen Camilla took part in the reconciliation meeting, believing she overstepped by involving herself in discussions with the Sussexes. According to Rada Online's unnamed source, William was particularly upset that Camilla attended the king's meeting with Harry. This was claimed Camilla's argument is that she was there to watch over things and keep an eye on Megan because she doesn't trust her. She insists she only agreed to go because Charles needed her there to support him and protect him.

0:48 But William isn't buying that. As far as he's concerned, it was a classic case of her trying to divide and conquer, and he's furious she inserted herself in such a sensitive meeting without his backing. He has never trusted her, and the only thing they've agreed on in recent years is how poisonous Megan and Harry are. So the fact that she's gone behind his back and made this show of welcoming them, this set all his alarms and ringing. He's convinced this was her way of trying to undermine his authority and send the message that she's still got more power than he does, and he's livid. Royal commentator Emily Andrews believes Prince Harry's latest visit to Britain illustrates how difficult has become for him to balance family relationships with his post royal life. Writing in Women and Home magazine, Andrews argues the drama with Prince Harry shows no sign of the baiting or calming down. His hoped for family reunion unraveled into an unseemly row over who said, what, when and where people could stay and why exactly he feels unsafe in the UK. He genuinely believes his wife and children aren't safe in the UK without guards armed with guns. Even the offer of accommodation at Buckingham Palace and safe passage in and out wasn't good enough. I am no security expert and surely writing about his kill account of Time twenty five. Teleban in his autobiography did not discourage any potential threats or terrorist plots against them, but this seems like an overreaction. She concluded with the reminder of the constitutional reality of Harry's position. He is no longer a working royal and so can't act like one.

2:17 Princess Diana's former royal protection officer, Ken Wharfe is challenging one of Prince Harry's central arguments for leaving royal life, saying the Duke has misunderstood the role the media played in both his own experience and his mother's. Warf, who protected Diana during some of the most turbulent years of her life, tell us The Daily Express. He says, Harry clearly has a deep dislike of the media and the paparazzi. Much of his public life in recent years has centered around legal action against media organizations, together with his disputes with the government and the Metropolitan Police over security. In my view, though that has very little to do with Diana. I do not believe his relocation was a direct consequence of his mother's death. It was a much more complex situation.

3:00 According to Warf, Diana understood that intense media attention came with being a senior royal. He said she accepted media intrusion because she recognized it was part of public life, adding that today's environment is very different from the one Diana faced. Members of the royal family still encounter paparazzi from time to time, but the level of intrusion to day is nothing like it was during the eighties and nineties. That reflected in the sheer volume of coverage. Back then, it was relentless. Harry, in my view, was wrong to blame the media and the way he has I think he has made a rather mg and production out of the media in so far as his wife and family were concerned, and he's failed to find a way to acknowledge and deal with this. I think he failed, in my view, to understand the role of the media. Yes, the media could be intrusive, as his mother experienced throughout her life, but the media did not kill Diana more Pallas in just a moment. Pressure continues to grow on Andrew mount Batton Windsor as members of the US House Oversight Committee continue examining the Jeffrey Epstein case. US attorney Spencer Couven argued that Andrew should cooperate with American authorities, saying it's now time for them to use their power and influence to put real pressure on Andrew by urging him as strongly as possible to cooperate with US authorities and tell the world what he saw and heard. The comments prompted discussion on the Daily Expresso podcast, where broadcaster Mark Dolan said, there are a couple of problems with it.

4:29 Andrew's not very intelligent. He's an arrogant man that was completely exposed. He is so deluded and in my humble opinion, so immeasurably thick that he actually thought it went well. The idea of him going to Washington, DC and facing US politicians and lawmakers. It'll be newsnight times a hundred. Dolan also expressed concern that Andrew could become the sole focus of the wirer Epstein investigation. That's fine, you're going to drag this guy over the colls, but what about all those other very powerful figures from business in the MI who haven't had the scrutiny that Andrew has. And let's not forget that he hasn't been found guilty of any crimes, So the worry I've got is he'll be horribly out of his depth and says some very unwise things, and I'm not even sure whether he'll get a fear hearing.

5:15 I think the US establishment has quite enjoyed having Andrew was the fall guy. Can we have some other fall guys as well? Dolan said that if Andrew did appear before lawmakers to answer questions, a lot of people would respect him for it, although he added that he did not believe the former Duke of York would agree to testify. Princess Eugenie's new baby has caused another small reshuffle in the royal line of succession. King Charles remains on the throne, with Prince William first in line, followed by Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Prince Harry is fifth, with Prince Archie sixth and Princess Lilibet seventh. Andrew mount Batten Windsor remains eighth in line, despite losing his royal titles and honors. Removing him from the succession would require an act of Parliament. Princess Beatrice is ninth, followed by her daughters Sienna and Athena. Princess Eugenie is twelfth, Her sons August and Ernest are thirteenth and fourteenth, while her newborn daughter is now fifteenth in lane. That pushes Prince Edward, the Duke of Edinburgh, down to sixteenth. New baby's arrival does not affect anyone near the top of the succession, but it is another reminder that the order changes every time a royal descendant is born. One of the most important modern changes came with the Succession to the Crown Act of twenty thirteen. That law ended the old rule that allowed younger sons to move ahead of older daughters.

6:32 That is why Princess Charlotte remains ahead of Prince Louis. Princess Anne, however, is still behind her younger brothers and their descendants because the change was not applied retroactively. She is now nineteenth in Lane. There are currently sixty five people listed in the succession after King Charles, although realistically only the first few are ever likely to come close to the throne. Zenouska Mowatt is sixty fifth in Lane to the throne. She is the daughter of Marina Ogilvy and granddaughter of Princess Alexandra, Queen Elizabeth the second's cousin. Despite the sixty five listed, in reality, the line of succession includes hundreds of people. It extends to every living person who is a legitimate descendant of Sophia of Hanover not Roman Catholic, though marrying a Catholic no longer disqualifies you otherwise eligible under the succession laws. The UK government maintains the legal line even though it isn't published as one official numbered list. If somehow everyone ahead of zenouskum Mowatt were unable to inherit, the crown would simply pass to the next eligible descendant of Sophia of Hanover, then the next, and so on. There is no point at which Britain would say we're out of heirs. In the extraordinarily unlikely event that every eligible descendant died out or became ineligible, Parliament would stamp in. Because the monarchy exists under statute as well as heredity, Parliament could pass legislation naming a new Royal House or otherwise determining the succession, much as it has done several times in British history,

8:02 including the Act of Settlement seventeen oh one that established the current line through Sophia of Hanover and they have it.
