Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hello and welcome to pallast Intrigue. I am your host. Mark.
France's King Charles enjoyed a lighthearted encounter with an unexpected
guest at Clarence House on Tuesday when a heritage cow
named Poppy caused mild chaos during a reception for the
King Charles the Third Charitable Fund. The Monarch was seen

(00:36):
laughing as Poppy, a prize winning cow from a Duchy
farm in Sussex, knocked over a small table and stepped
into a hedge. Moments later, she was spotted relieving herself
on the garden pathway, much to the amusement of those present.
Her handler apologized with sorry about your garden, to which
the King good naturedly replied, don't push her back into
my boxed hedge. The morning concluded with Charles cutting into

(01:00):
a Waitrose fruit cake before raising the knife in the
air and telling guests I hope you enjoy the cake.
Megan Michael's father, Thomas Mikel, has said to be trapped
inside his apartment in the Philippines following a powerful earthquake.
The eighty year old, who relocated to the country earlier
this year, for what was described as a fresh start,

(01:21):
now finds himself unable to leave his high rise flat
after Tuesday's tremor. His daughter, Samantha Mirkle, confirmed the situation
in a post on AX, writing, my father is stuck
on the nineteenth floor of a building in the Philippines
after a massive earthquake, and he can't walk and he
is trapped. The United States Geological Survey reported the quake
at a magnitude of six point seven, striking near the

(01:44):
eastern Visayois region. Residents in affected areas were urged to
move inland amid concerns of aftershocks and secondary hazards. Mister Markle,
who moved with his son, Thomas Michael Junior, has reportedly
found life in Southeast Asia a difficult adjustment due to
the climate and cultural changes, a source told The New

(02:04):
York Post earlier this year, Thomas and his son took
the plunge and moved to Southeast Asia. It's been hard,
but they have each other. No word yet on if
Megan and Harry have offered to help mister Michael. It's possible,
Meghan is busy with other projects. The Duchess shared a
new post on the Instagram page for her lifestyle brand.
As Ever, the photograph, apparently of her Montecito garden, was

(02:26):
overlaid with the handwritten message let me tell you about
the birds and the bees, and the flowers and the
trees and the moon above. In the caption, she continued
the lyrics from Jewel Aikins nineteen sixty five Songwriting and
a Little Thing Called Love. The handwriting, featuring Michael's trademarks
swells and Flourishes, drew mixed reactions from fans. While some

(02:48):
praise to the personal touch, many admitted they struggled to
make out the words. So hard to read, one user wrote,
while another added, can't either ridiculous writing. Others were more
blunt in the criticism, with one commenter remarking, Rachel's calligraphy
isn't calligraphy. It's cursive on a caffeine rush. But sure,
if you squint hard enough, every doodle is a designer font.

(03:11):
A new report claims Megan may be weighing a return
to acting after disappointing figures for her latest TV venture.
A source tod Radar online, Megan put her heart into
this show, but the ratings are not what she hoped for.
That leaves her at a crossroads. People in the industry
still see her as an actress first and foremost, not
a lifestyle guru, and she's being urged to go back

(03:32):
to her roots. But going back to acting is going
to be a humiliating journey. The truth is she was
a terrible actress and no one in Hollywood is going
to want to cast her in big projects as she
is also seen as toxic. She is doomed to chase
something that will not succeed, like everything else she touches.
Another industry source pointed to financial pressure as a factor,

(03:54):
explaining everyone knows money is a real factor here. Megan
has been determined to carve her own identity beyond the
but if the lifestyle projects stall, acting remains a strong
option more palasin just a moment. Hey, it's October and
that means Halloween is coming, And we have a couple

(04:16):

from your friends here at Caloroda Sharkmedian. We told you
how the hard working Princess of Wales may have missed
out on her rugby duties but did find time for
Harry Potter. We are now learning she narrowly avoided an
awkward overlap with Prince Andrew. According to The Daily Mail,

(05:22):
the Wales children met the young actors playing Harry, Hermione
and Ron and even explored the replica Scottish Highlands built
for the production. Prince Louis reportedly enjoyed a highlight moment
a short ride on the Hogwarts Express built on a
half mile track just behind them Wales Famili's Adelaide cottage residence.
It was so special, Kat and the children met the
young actors and the director on the set. There was

(05:43):
only one night of filming there, so it really was
a magical ticket, a source said, adding as for Louis,
he got the chance to ride on the train with
the driver. He seemed to absolutely love it. Crew Members, however,
were said to be stunned when the Duke of York
arrived at the set on another day with his grandchildren.
Andrew lives nearby at Royal Lodge, which adjoins Windsor Great Park,

(06:06):
will have a Kate sighting today as the Princess is
her Royal Highness, a royal honorary air commodore will visit
a ref conningsby and inside, it tells Radar Online, Charles
depends on Catherine more than most realize. He values her composure,
her sense of discretion, and her steadiness. He has even
spoken of her as that daughter he'd never had. However,

(06:28):
the source revealed that such closeness isn't coming without consequences.
It stirs unease in other quarters. Even a senior aide
seconds at this statement, saying that Charles clearly draws strength
from Catherine. One of the main reasons for their bonding
is the way Middleton has handled the demands of royal duty.
Her demeanor has won the monarch's lasting admiration, but a

(06:50):
growing influence inside the palace is obvious and that makes
some people uneasy. Plane to the aid, the Princess of
Wales now sits at the heart of three key RelA
relationships with William, the King and with the Queen. But
alongside the respect Kate commands, there's also jealousy and unease,
a palace insider said, adding that when one figure becomes

(07:11):
so close to the king, it doesn't go unnoticed. Prince
William has offered a rare glimpse into his official duties
at Windsor Castle, sharing a behind the scenes video of
his meeting with the Crown Prince of Qwait posted on
the Prince and Princess of Wales's social media accounts. The
clip showed William arriving at the castle in a sertain
tie before greeting His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al Sabah. The

(07:34):
pair were seen shaking hands and speaking inside the residents,
with shots of Windsor Castle inter cut throughout. While royal
audiences are often private, King Charles typically has official photographs
taken with visiting dignitaries. William's decision to post a video
online continues the trend he and Princess Kate have embraced
of using social media to offer more personal insights into

(07:55):
their lives and work. That approach, sources suggest, extend to
William's future coronation. One close aide told The Sunday Times,
he is really thinking how do we make this coronation
feel more relevant in the future. He is mindful of
the fact that in twenty years time or whenever his
time comes, how can the coronation be modern but also
unifying to the nation and the Commonwealth. William has spoken

(08:20):
movingly about his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth I and a
new episode of Apple TV's The Reluctant Traveler. In a
preview clip, host Eugene Levy asks the Prince of Wales
if he misses his grandmother. William responds, I do, Actually, yeah,
I do miss my grandmother and my grandfather. It's been
quite a bit of change, so you do sort of

(08:40):
you think about them not being here anymore, and particularly
being in Windsor. For me, Windsor is her She loved
it here, She spent most of her time here. Showing
you around today is very much a case of trying
to make sure I'm doing it in the way she'd
want you to see it. He also highlighted one of
the Queen's greatest passions. She had her horses here as
well as you can imagine. It was a big deal
for her, so that's why she loved it here. Buckingham

(09:04):
Palace is confirmed that the Princess Royal made an unannounced
visit to Ukraine on Tuesday, where she drew attention to
what were described as the traumatic experiences of children living
on the front line of conflict. During her program, Princess
Anne laid a toy bear at a memorial dedicated to
children killed since the beginning of Russia's full scale invasion,

(09:24):
and spoke with young people said to have been taken
from their homes by Russian forces. She also met President
Vladimir Zelenski to discuss both the United Kingdom's support for
Ukraine and the country's continued resistance, and also met female
police and Armed forces officers working to protect women and children,
visited a rehabilitation center where she spoke with injured veterans,

(09:46):
and toured the historic Saint Sophia's Cathedral in Kiev, and
there you have it. If you would like to email us,
