William Skips Christmas (Again) As Kate Preps For Carols & Charles Plans A Manure Lagoon

0:03 Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallace Intrigue. I gave your host Mark Francis. In The Royalist, Tom Sykes reports Prince William's planning on skipping Christmas Lunch with Charles once again, making it three years in a row. A source told The Royalist William and the family will do their duty and go to church with big smiles pasted on, but they are not expected for Christmas Lunch at the Big House. It has been an extremely difficult year for William and Catherine Royalist source as a friend of the King who shut down the notion of a controversy. Of course William is invited. Of course he's free to do his own thing without anyone being remotely upset. Kate stopped by Marina Mills in September as part of a round of engagements with local artisans. The family run workshop in Cuxton has a long history of providing hand printed furnishings for royal residences including Buckingham Palace and Clarence House, making it entirely plausible that she may have selected ideas or samples during her visit. According to Mayol Online, Forest Lodge, the new home the Wales family recently moved into is expected to feature an expansive antique dining table large enough to seat twenty four guests. As William and Kate planned to remain at the property even when William eventually becomes king, the piece is expected to serve as a central gathering point for family dinners and celebrations For many years. Kate's interest in interiors has been shaped over the course of several moves through royal homes, supported by her background in

1:34 art history from the University of Saint Andrews. Her eye for design even earned praise from Prince Harry in Spare. Reflecting on the decor, Harry wrote, the wallpaper a ceiling trim, the walnut bookshelves filled with volumes of peaceful colors, priceless works of art, magnificent like a museum. Another royal controversy is brewing. Why does the King want to place manure next to one of the homes of William and According to the Express, His Majesty's proposal would see a pull sized lagoon designed to hold more than two million gallons of liquid manure, placed less than a mile from Amner Hall, the Georgian property given to the couple by Queen Elizabeth.

2:15 The project is said to form part of wider agricultural plans for the estate. Fortunately, this is just the royals holiday place and not their main residence. The suggestion has caused considerable concern among local residents. One neighbor told The Daily Mail, We're all used to farmyard smells around here, but this lagoon will be enormous. Everyone is worried it will create a massive stink. Goodness knows what William and Kate think about it. It is a bit ironic that the landowner responsible for the plans is William's father, the King. It's a busy week for William, who spent Monday visiting a leading technology company and highlighting the role innovative industries play in Britain's future. The war for retention heats up this week, with both Megan's holiday special tomorrow and William and Kate help helping the King host the German President and his wife during their state visit. Then on Friday, it's Kate's fifth annual Christmas Carol service at Westminster Abbey.

3:10 While Prince William is expected to take part in the concert presentation, Kensington Powerace has not confirmed which other royals will attend. In previous years, the Prince and Princess of Wales have brought their three children, and members of the Princess's own family have joined them as well. Westminster Abbey's choir will lead the congregation in many of the traditional carols, and guests will be welcomed by eight young musicians from the charity Future Talent, founded by the late Catherine, Duchess of Kent and Nicholas Robinson. Organizers say the theme for this year is Love in all its forms. In a statement, Kensington Palace said the service will bring people together to celebrate love in all its forms, whether it's love within families, through friendships across communities, or even through powerful moments of connection with strangers. In a world that can often feel fragmented and disconnected, love is the four that reconnects us all spanning generations, communities, cultures and faiths. The Palace added, as we approach the Christmas season, we are reminded of the power of togetherness. The evening will highlight the transformative power of investing in one another with compassion, presence and joy.

4:18 William praised the support he receives from Catherine the Princess at Wales during a visit to North Wales, remarking them, behind every average man there is an even better wife. Prince William made the comment during an engagement at Youth Shards, where he met young people involved in the community project and heard how the initiative helps them cope with challenges at school and feelings of isolation. Scott Jenkinson fifty two, the founder of Youth Shareds, guided the Prints through the center's weekly activities, which included cooking, gaming, podcasting and three D printing. William then spoke with mister Jenkinson and his wife Sean about the role of a supportive partner. Were you there with Scott when he turned his life around?

4:59 He asked Sean, after hearing of Scott's earlier struggles with homelessness and addiction. He has done well to turn his life around. Sean replied he has, he really has. Scott added, with my wife behind me, you know that. William nodded and said, this is it. Behind every average man, there is an even better wife. Later in the day, William took part in the comedy workshop led by Welsh comedian Kerrie Prichard McLean. The Prince of Wales made an unannounced stop at a country pub in wilt Chair, setting in for a working lunch and leaving behind a twenty five pound tip. William popped into the Walnut Tree Inn, where his three security officers took seats at one table, while the Prince joined five colleagues at another. Two regulars Gary and Nick eventually approached the Prince to request a photograph.

5:45 He agreed, posing with Lisa James, the member of staff who had looked after his table. The pub's owner, William Friend James said the party's bill reached two hundred and fifty pounds, with the Prince adding a ten percent gratuity. He explained, we took a booking about a week ago for no people on two separate tables, but didn't know who it was, so everyone was a bit shocked when the Prince of Wales walked in. According to mister friend James, the Prince chose a homemade burger with fries and a lemonade, while others ordered dishes, including the pubs pie and sea bass. He added that although security initially declined a photo request, the Prince later agreed when approached privately, saying it was a great pleasure to host him. The group remained for around ninety minutes, with the security team settling the bill before leaving more palacy just a moment. Andrew Mount Batton Windsor has now been formally stripped of his final remaining royal honors, as the King confirmed the cancelation of his last titles amid continuing delays to Andrews's departure from Royal Lodge.

6:49 The announcement published in the London Gazette confirms that the King has ordered Andrew's appointments to the Order of the Garter, long regarded as Britain's most prestigious order of chivalry, to be canceled. His membership of the Royal Victorian Order has also been revoked. The entry reads, the King has directed that the appointment of Andrew Albert Christian Edward Mount Patten Windsor to be a Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, dated twenty third April two thousand and six, shall be canceled and annulled, and that his name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order. A second entry reads, the King has directed that the appointment of Andrew Albert Christian Edward Mount Patten Windsor to be a Night Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order dated nineteen February twenty eleven, shall be canceled and annulled, and that his name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order. Andrew had previously agreed to relinquish his Garter membership. His coat of arms had already been removed from Saint George's Chapel at Windsor. With these honors now withdrawn, the disgraced former royal retains just one formal distinction, his rank of Vice Admiral in the Royal Navy. Although the government has pledged to remove that honor at the King's request, it has not yet been acted upon. Royal biographer Tina Brown has shed new light on the king's private worries about his younger brother, writing, Charles, I am told is not looking to punish his pampered brother to the point he says that he can't cope. If Charles were not to pay his brother's bills and ensure a certain level of comfort, then he may only have one thing left to do. Andrew would have only his secrets

8:23 to sell. William is demanding Andrew be given a limit in line with the living expenses of a commoner, since that is what he is now. Andrew scoffs at the idea of that, and they have it. Fact.
