0:03 Callaroga Shark Media, Hello and welcome to Palace intrigue and host mark finances. A fresh security scare has rocked Windsor Castle after a man allegedly under the influence of drugs broke into the castle grounds in broad daylight, sparking immediate concern among police and Royal security teams. A police spokesperson confirmed a man in his thirties has been arrested on suspicion of trespass on a protected site and possession of Class A drugs after entering restricted grounds at Windsor Castle. Officers in the grounds spotted the man just after thirteen hundred hours Sunday June first quickly arrested him. He was then passed into the custody of Thames Valley Police. The man was later released on bail pending further investigation. A source familiar with the matter said the intruder is believed to have been under the influence of drugs at the time of the break in. He broke into the castle and near town Gate and was quickly detained by police. It was a crazy thing to do and caused quite a stir but at the stage appears there was no intent to cause any serious harm. It is understood that the family were in residence at Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor Estate that day, though it remains unclear whether they were present at the exact time of the intrusion. Adelaide Cottage lies some distance from the location of the breach, which was closer to the public facing town gate. Despite the high profile nature of the breach, police confirmed the man never reached the
1:33 inner grounds of Windsor Castle, where key locations such as the state apartments, Saint George's Chapel and the Inner Hall are located. Royal Aids and close Protection officers informed of the security incident as part of standard protocol. Thames Valley Police, who took custody of the suspect following the arrest, added he was quickly challenged by matt police officers and arrested. He did not enter the inner grounds of Windsor Castle. He was arrested on suspicion of true pass on a secure site and possession of Class eight drugs. He has been bailed and an investigation is ongoing. The Serious Organized Crime and Police Act of two thousand and five makes it an offense to trespass on protected sites, which includes royal estates and nuclear installations. The latest intrusion adds to a history of high profile breaches at Windsor Castle. In two thousand and three, so called comedy terrorist Aaron Barshek managed to infiltrate Prince William's twenty first birthday party. In two thousand and five, the son drove a hired van through the Henry the Eighth Gate as part of a security test, with a box marked bomb in the back.
2:38 In twenty twelve, a drunk man climbed a gate and reached within sixty five meetings of the Queen's private departments before being tackled by armed officers. But perhaps the most serious incident occurred on Christmas Day twenty twenty one, when twenty one year old Jaswant Singh Charlie was arrested in the castle grounds armed with a crossbow. He later told police he was on a mission to assassinate the Queen. In twenty twenty three, Charles was sentenced to nine years in prison and placed under a mental health order, with the Old Bailey hearing that he had been egged on by artificial intelligence chatbot girlfriend and inspired by the Star Wars franchise Despite the removal of armed officers from some public entrances last year, security inside Windsor Castle remains robust, with armed patrols and rising ballards at strategic points such as Henry the Eighth Gate to deter any serious threat.
3:30 The royal family has not issued a statement regarding Sunday's incident, but sources close to the household in sint protocol was followed and no family member was ever in immediate danger.

A seemingly innocuous pineapple video has become the latest flashpoint in Megan's ongoing campaign to connect with the public, sparking fury among some royal fans who clean the Duchess of Sussex is treating viewers as though they're, in the words of one critic, stupid. The controversy began when Meghan posted a short video on Instagram demonstrating what she described as a clever pineapple cutting hack. Standing alongside Randy Karen, the Duchess explained a trick that people do with pineapple still just cutting it to make the perfect little bite.
4:52 You follow the wedge when nature has given you all the cues on how to have a perfect taste of something. For some viewers, the tone was more condescend England clever. One social media user posted, she acts like she discovered this method of cutting a pineapple, probably lifted it from Pinterest. Interestingly, the clipper did not appear in the first season with Love Megan, her Netflix style series. Meghan later claimed the segment was left out simply because there just wasn't enough time, as if Netflix was about to run out of hard drive space or something. A new development in Meghan's media endeavors has sparked curiosity and a few raised eyebrows among Royal watches, as Meghan Michael's release of the Bonus Podcast episode is being interpreted by some as part of a broader strategic pivot. Royal commentator Kinsey Schowfield described the move as odd, but added that it could also be a sign of calculated rebrand. The Unexpected episode featured Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles, and veered from the show's original concept, prompting speculation that Megan is adjusting her messaging and public persona.
5:51 Chofield said, some of us are interpreting it as a calculated rebrand. It's definitely different from what we were led to expect at the beginning of the series. The shift has prompted theories about what might lay I had for the Duchess. Schofield even float of the idea that Megan could be preparing for a more behind the scenes role in the years to come, particularly with her daughter Princess Lilibert in mind. She might be preparing to become a manager type figure to Lillibert. Schofield suggested, echoing the idea that Meghan's future ambitions may now involved building not just her own brand, but her daughters as well, which will no doubt thrill Harry. In The Express, Hanisha Sethi writes, Meghan has failed to learn the basics of interviewing techniques and skills needed to draw the best out of her guests and to give them all the attention that they deserve.
6:37 As Beyonce's mum told a story, Meghan interrupts, I was in suits for seven years, and I remember so many other actresses, especially if you're in that grind, they said you're going to fry your hair, and everyone was recommending that they start wearing wigs. I never ended up doing it, by the way, I was in that industry longer understand where you need to protect your hair in that way. Sethi continues, listening to every episode of Confessions of a Female Founder, I would describe Meghan as an oversharer. We've heard plenty of the same stories of Megan Markles and she left the Royal family in twenty twenty. From her Netflix documentaries to the Bombshell interview with Oprah Sussex fans want new information and not the same stories regurgitated a touch of Hollywood candor now Is. Actress Brooke Shields offered a rather unfiltered assessment of her time on stage with the Duchess of Sussex during a panel at twenty twenty four south By Southwest Festival in Austin. Appearing on the podcast of India Hicks, Shulds recounted how she shared a stage with Meghan, journalist Katie Couric and others for the keynote event titled Breaking Barriers Shaving Narratives How Women Lead on and off the Screen. It was during that panel that Meghan Markel began speaking earnestly about her longstanding advocacy for gender equality, beginning as ever, with her off repeated story of writing to a dish soap manufacturer at age eleven.
7:57 Seules recalled, Meghan starts telling a story, but how much she was a eleven and she keeps saying, Well, when I was eleven, I saw this commercial and they were talking about washing dishes, and only soap for washing dishes was for women. And she said, I don't think only women washed dishes. It wasn't fair. So I wrote to the company and when I was eleven, I wrote my first letter. And when I was eleven and then shept, saying she was eleven. According to Shulds, the mood in the room turned quite serious, perhaps overly so. Feeling the atmosphere growing a little too solemn, the actress decided to lighten things up. I go, excuse me. I'm sorry, I've got to interrupt you there for one minute, she said, noting she was trying not to be rude but simply injects some humor. I just want to give everybody here a context as to how we're different. I said, Well, when I was eleven, I was playing a prostitute in the nineteen seventy eight film Pretty Baby. The crowd, by Shuld's account, went insane with laughter in the panel discussion finally began to relax. It was just too precious, Shulds remarked bluntly of Megan's tone, adding, and I was like, they're not going to want to sit here for forty five minutes and listen to anybody be precious or serious.
9:00 And then afterwards she was kind of like, oh okay, and I was like, let's just have some fun with it.
