Speaker 2 (00:16):
Hello and welcome to Balas Intrigue. I am your host,
Mark Francis. More controversy has engulfed the Duke of York
following allegations contained in a new book about his life
entitled The Rise and Fall of the House of York
by Andrew Lowney, claims Prince Andrew was involved in what
witnesses described as a Thai orgy, with more than forty
women said to have attended. According to one account, often

(00:39):
as soon as one left, another would arrive. Thai staff
were reportedly shocked at what they call the industrial scale
of the encounters. Another source told Lowney this was not
some casual affair or isolated lamps. It was an organized
stream of women brought in while he was overseas on
official business funded by the taxpayer. It underlines both the

(01:00):
depth of his entitlement and how far he exploited his position.
In his book, the author writes the Thai orgy story,
combined with the renewed pressure of the Epstein scandal, means
there is no conceivable way back for Andrew as a
working royal. These details make clear just how reckless he
was with his position. And the institution cannot risk further

(01:21):
damage by reinstating him elsewhere. A further source suggested that
the Duke sees no end to the fallout from his
connections to Jeffrey Epstein, saying Andrew feels the Epstein scandal
is just endless for him, and it is it will
haunt him until he draws his last breath. Meanwhile, in
The New York Post, Kirston Fleming asks if an exalted
girl boss who is best friends with Megan Markel and

(01:44):
Laurence Sanchez, admits dropping racial and gay slurs in years past,
does it make a sound It would seem not, Fleming explains.
On Friday Night, an investigation into the behavior of billionaire
Bumble founder Whitney wolf Herd, who began her career at
Tinder before suing the dating app and its parent company
in twenty fourteen for sexual harassment, was published by The

(02:07):
Daily Mail. The parties settled out of court, and in
the piece, she admitted to using the N word and
other slurs, but forgive her Lord, she blamed it on
her colleagues, saying she was simply keeping up with the
Fellers in the male centric tech company. Surely her friend's
admission would spur Markle, who built her entire identity on
fighting against racism, to speak out against such dangerous language.

(02:29):
The Robert F. Kennedy Foundation even gave her and her
husband Prince Harry, the Ripple of Hope Award for championing
racial justice. After all, Michael ran to Oprah in twenty
twenty one to cry about the racism she allegedly endured
at the hands of the royal family. She accused an
unnamed member of having concerns and conversations about how dark
Archie's skin might be. She and Prince Harry said racism

(02:51):
was a large part of their reason for fleeing the UK,
and he blathered on about unconscious bias, but why the
crickets from Markel Back in Abe, she only had effusive
praise for her Powell, who was the inaugural guest on
her podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder. The two fawned
over each other, and Michael described her as kind of
a friend who just always seemed to know the exact

(03:12):
right thing to say when I need perspective. On that episode,
wolf Heard said she was initially driven to create a
female forward platform, which would eventually become bumble to encourage
kindness among women. Fleming reminds us that Meghan has transitioned
from fighting racism to more important callings spreading joy, making
jam and being a support beam of the female empowerment

(03:35):
complex while making lots of cash. Meanwhile, in The Telegraph,
Mariyanka Swain warns Meghan should be scared of her former
best friend, with speculation that Jessica mulroney is writing a
tell old book. Swain points out as Meghan's closest friend
and confidante through the most dramatic years of her life,
Mulroney would certainly have revealing details to share, perhaps about

(03:56):
the early days of Megan and Prince Harry's courtship and
whether it's really true as Meghan has insisted that she
never looked up Harry online before their first date. She
would also have been prairie to the couple's thinking ahead
of their shock departure from the royal family, and could
reveal whether Meghan guided that decision not to mention private
details about Meghan's fraught relationship with her father. Maroney might

(04:17):
even villa inly tantalizing gaps left by the Sussex's famous
Oprah interview, including which member of the royal family allegedly
asked how dark Archie's skin color would be When I
asked about the royal wedding in twenty nineteen by Harper's
Bizarre she said, Listen, every person has to have a
bit of privacy in their life. There are certain things
I hold very dear in secret. There are things I'll
never talk about. For sure. My life is an open book,

(04:40):
but there's always a few secret pages. In the fact
that nobody will be able to read. Meghan, Meghan is
no doubt hoping those words still apply. A spokesperson for
Harry and Meghan has dismissed speculation that Prince Archie might
be following family tradition by enrolling at Eton College. Reports
suggesting the six year old could attend the prestigious boarding

(05:02):
school where both Prince William and Prince Harry were educated,
surfaced shortly after it was claimed Prince George is likely
to take up a place there, but a representative for
Harry and Meghan told E I can confirm that Prince
Harry has not put Archie's name down for Eton, and
that the Duke has no plans to send his son
to Eton Moral Pallace in just a moment. Queen Mary

(05:28):
of Denmark has been pictured at a lavish birthday celebration
for her longtime friend Caroline Fleming, despite past warnings to
distance herself from the social light. Photographs from the fiftieth
birthday party, which carried an Out of Africa theme, showed
the Queen in the background of images shared on Instagram
by Danish businessman Christian Stadele. The event was private and

(05:48):
did not appear on official Palace schedules. Caroline Fleming, the
ex wife of Rory Fleming, nephew of James Bond creator
Ian Fleming, hosted a guest list filled with Danish high
society figures, celebrities and business leaders. Mary's friendship with Caroline
dates back to the early two thousands, when she first
moved to Denmark after meeting Crown Prince Frederick. The Queen

(06:10):
is godmother to Caroline's daughter, Joseph Fine. However, as Crown Princess,
Mary was previously advised to be cautious about the association
due to Caroline's party lifestyle and provocative social media presence.
Pallas insiders had suggested that such friendships could undermine her
image as a future queen. King Charles and Queen Cammella
will travel to Vatican City in October for a two

(06:31):
day state visit to meet the new Pope, Leo the fourteenth.
The triple mark Charles' first meeting with the pontiff, formerly
Cardinal Robert Prevous, who became Pope in May following the
death of France's at age eighty eight. The visit had
originally been planned for April, but was scaled back due
to Pope Francis's declining health. At that time. Charles and
Camilla spent only a few days in Italy and received

(06:52):
a short private audience with Francis, which happened to coincide
with their twentieth wedding anniversary, just days before his death.
Now the King and Queen's itinerary will be focused on
the Vatican, though it will be a relatively brief stop
compared to the longer foreign tours traditionally scheduled in the
spring or autumn. We'll have courage both here and on
our sister podcast, White Smoke, which covers the paper sy

(07:16):
Charles Me the Heartfelt stop in Surrey to meet Ethel
cater Hamm, the world's oldest living person at one hundred
and sixteen and the last surviving subject of Edward the Seventh,
living at Hallmark Lakeview Care Home in Light Water. Missus
Caterham delighted the monarch with memories of his youth, recalling
his nineteen sixty nine investiture at Canifern Castle and telling
him all the girls were in love with you and

(07:37):
wanted to marry you. Charles Laughing responded with good humor
and a playful Grimace. Born in nineteen o nine to
three years before the Titanic sank, Missus Cattahammer's lived through
the Russian Revolution, the Great Depression, two World Wars, and
the COVID nineteen pandemic. She spent time working as an
o pair in India as a young woman, later marrying
her husband Norman in nineteen thirty one and raising two

(07:58):
daughters while living in Gibraltar and Hong Kong during his
army service for decades. She is called Surrey home, only
giving up driving at the age of ninety seven. During
the visit, cater Ham also reminisced about attending a Buckingham
Palace garden party in the nineteen sixties while her granddaughter's
tease that she had often described Charles's so handsome in
his youth. The King warmly held her hand and chuckled

(08:20):
at the praise, remarking, yes, well, all that's left of
him anyway. Surrounded by her three granddaughters and five great grandchildren,
cater Ham's meeting with the monarch was another extraordinary moment
in a life that has already spanned more than a
century of history. And they have it like to email us.
