Speaker 1 (00:03):
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue Game,
your host, Mark Francis. It seems Prince Harry and Meghan
Markel may be finding a new royal court, this time
in Palm Beach. According to Radar Online, the Duke and
(00:25):
Duchess of Sussex are growing increasingly close to Brooklyn Beckham
and Nicola Peltz, who have reportedly extended an open invitation
for Harry and Meghan to spend their summers at the
couple's lavish Florida compound. The friendship appears to be more
than just beachside cocktails and casual catchups. Insiders claim Megan
(00:46):
is eyeing Palm Beach as a potential hub for her
lifestyle brand, seeking support from the area's affluent social scene.
There are tons of networking opportunities. When tipster said the
fact that Nicola and her family have a mess compound
on the beaches just icing on the cake, a source added,
these four are thick as thieves and have been talking
(01:07):
about all sorts of collaborations. Brooklyn and Nicola are said
to be singing their praises, suggesting that budding alliance could
go well beyond dinner parties. The Florida move comes as
Harry and Meghan reportedly consider securing property in the Sunshine State,
a shift that would position Meghan nicely to become what
inside is chicily called the Queen of Palm Beach. Of course,
(01:30):
the new friendship emerges against a backdrop of fractured ties
with David and Victoria Beckham What's close with the Sussexes.
The Beckhams purportedly fell out with Harry and Meghan after
the Duchess allegedly accused Victoria of leaking stories to the
press last year, and now the older Beckhams are hanging
around with the senior royals back home. Brooklyn and Nicola
(01:52):
are currently on icy terms with David and Victoria, which
may explain why the younger Beckhams and the Sussexes are
now leaning into each other. New claims about Meghan Mikau's
relationship with Prince Harry and her role in their dramatic
royal exit are reigniting debate, with multiple reports alleging that
the Duchess of Sussex may have carefully engineered her royal
(02:14):
love story from the very start. According to an article
cited in Mint, Lady Elizabeth Anson, a cousin to the
late Queen, reportedly shared that Queen Elizabeth had reservations about Meghan,
Harry has bestarted and weak about women. The Queen is
said to have remarked, we hope, but don't quite think
(02:34):
she is in love. We think she engineered it all.
The Queen also reportedly found Megan's give on she wedding
dress too white for a divorcee remarrying in church, a
quiet critique noted in The Daily Mail at the time.
Further insight from royal commentators paints a picture of skepticism
toward Megan from within the royal household. Lady Elizabeth Is
(02:57):
said to her believe Megan didn't get along with Prince
William and Princess Kate, and that many people doubted if
Meghan was right for Harry. She added pointedly, Harry is
neither bright nor strong, and she is both. British. Author A. N.
Wilson suggested the contrast between the royal couples has only
become more evident over time. He argued that Kate has
(03:18):
served as Prince William's strength, while Meghan has reopened Harry's
emotional wounds instead of encourage him to shape his own
identity within the Royal family. Wilson said she has helped
him turn his back on it. Wilson's commentary comes alongside
claims from biographer Tom Bauer, who has long asserted that
Megan played a central role in shaping Harry's controversial memoir.
(03:42):
Spare Bower said the book was essentially Megan's, describing her
as the one who dictated this agenda. The criticisms don't
stop there. In a particularly scathing take, First Post labeled
Meghan an agent of destruction, accusing her of using Harry
to pursue hollow would level fame and likening her aspirations
(04:03):
to becoming the next Angeline Jolie. Her wedding guest list,
reportedly heavy on celebrities and light on family, were cited
as further evidence of that strategy. While Harry has always
credited Megan as his logical, physical, emotional, and spiritual inspiration,
critics argue she was also the driving force behind the
couple's most explosive public revelations, from the Netflix docuseries to
(04:26):
the memoir to ongoing tensions with the Royal family, it
remains a deep, polarizing narrative. For supporters, Meghan helped Harry
break free and speak his truth. For critics, she steered
him toward division and publicity at the cost of family size.
Whether the public sees her as a modern woman challenging
an outdated institution or as a calculating outsider is as
(04:48):
ever in the eye of the beholder. As whispers of
the potential royal return for Prince Harry and possibly Megan
continued to swell. A new Sunday Times Paul reveals that
for much of the British public, the answer to the
question would we welcome them back? Is complicated. According to
the Yugov survey, twenty four percent of respondents said they
(05:08):
view Harry moving back to the UK as a good thing,
but just as many twenty two percent think it would
be a bad idea. The largest response indifference, forty one
percent said they simply don't care. Sentiment toward Megan Michael, however,
was markedly cooler. While twelve percent welcomed the idea of
her return, a full forty one percent said it would
(05:29):
be a bad thing, with older Britons feeling most strongly.
Sixty four percent of the over sixty fives opposed her return,
compared to just seventeen percent of the eighteen to twenty
four year olds. So what would it take for Harry
to be truly welcomed back? Royal commentator Sarah Huston believes
the answer lies within the family itself. It really depends
(05:51):
on how they come back and on what turns. It
would really take Charles as the King to pave the way,
much like Queen Elizabeth did for Camilla, argues, King Charles
could issue a statement or gesture that signals forgiveness and
the public might just follow. Forgiveness, in fact, appears to
be one thing the public supports. Forty four percent said
Harry should reconcile with his family, but the bigger hurdle
(06:15):
remains Prince William. According to sources cited by The Daily Beast,
William will never ever forgive Harry and absolutely hates what
he has seen as a betrayal. If that stance were
to change, it could dramatically alter the public mood. Former
Palace secretary Simon Lewis believes the goodwill isn't gone. There
(06:35):
is still a reservoir of sympathy for Harry, but a
lot needs to be resolved before a proper return can
be discussed. Historian Tessa Dunlop adds a cultural dimension, comparing
the saga to a romantic breakup. They dumped us and
it was painful, but we loved them. If we didn't care,
we'd stop talking about them. While Meghan remains a polarizing figure,
(06:56):
especially with older generations, support among younger Britain's suggests a
shift in tone may come in time. Queen Camilla, once
branded a royal outsider, herself, might even play a crucial
role in helping to brok he a truce if she
believes it would bring peace in her husband's later years. Still,
it's worth remembering the Sussex's were booed at Queen Elizabeth
(07:19):
the Second's Platinum jubilee. Repairing that divide won't happen overnight,
but with the Invictors Games returning to the UK in
twenty twenty seven, some see a golden opportunity the Invictus
Games as the best of Harry Howston said, if you're
going to have a big reunion, that is a pretty
safe space in which to do it. What Palace in
just a moment. By the way, if you are into
(07:44):
true crime, check out the new series from your friends
here at Keller Rogashark Media called Celebrity Trials, and it
covers not just celebrities, but the people that go in
and become celebrities after the fact. It's all the big
trials going on around the country and around the world,
and you can check that out daily. It's called Celebrity Trials.
(08:04):
Get it wherever you get your podcast for you true
crime fans. Prince William maybe the future king, but it
seems Princess Anne, which is he'd pull a bit more
royal weight in the meantime. In a new profile ahead
of her seventy fifth birthday, These Sunday Times reports that
Anne is quietly irritated that she's still handling the bulk
of investiture ceremonies, those formal occasions where honors are handed out,
(08:27):
especially since William lives just down the road from Windsor Castle,
where many of these events are held. She's still doing
most of the investitures at Windsor, even though William lives there.
It annoys her, a source close to the princess told
the paper. Several sources suggest Anne would like to see
William take on more of what they call the bread
and butter duties like those investitures, which she continues to
(08:49):
handle with remarkable stamina. Only three royals, King Charles, Ann
and William can lead such ceremonies, and while Charles is
juggling his own reduced schedule health issues and William is
either on vacation or managing a tightrope of royal responsibilities
in family life, it's Anne who keeps quietly shouldering the load.
True to form, Anne has reportedly opted to celebrate privately.
(09:13):
She and her husband, Sir Timothy Lawrence, are expected to
spend about ten days sailing around the Western Scottish Isles,
a tradition they've upheld for years. She told us she
would do things for birthdays that had zeros, but not
for the fives, said an aid. One friend added, they
go every May in August and have done it for years.
How many couples could go out to see that often,
(09:34):
just the two of them and still be speaking to
each other. She loves it and they have it. Trying
