Hello and welcome to Pallas Intrigue. I am your host,
Mark Francis. Prince Harry has released a rare and pointed
statement denying claims about the tone of his recent meeting
with King Charles and suggesting that unnamed sources are actively
trying to sabotage any reconciliation between father and son. In response,
royal sources say the Palace is both saddened and perplexed
(00:39):
by the accusation. The Duke of Sussex's spokesperson hit back
at reporting from The Son which described Harry's meeting with
the King as formal, claiming Harry had felt more like
an official visitor than a son. The paper also reported
that Harry had presented his father with a framed photograph.
The spokesperson said recent of the Duke's view of the
(01:01):
tone of the meeting is categorically false. The quotes attributed
to him are pure invention fed one only can assume
by sources intent on sabotaging any reconciliation between father and son.
Presumably those same sources have also chosen to disclose that
gifts were exchanged. The spokesperson confirmed that photograph was indeed given,
(01:25):
but clarified that the image did not contain the Duke
and Duchess. According to The Sunday Times, pallace aides have
been working behind these scenes to carefully mend the strained relationship,
and a source close to the situation said that public
interventions such as this make the task harder. Such public
pronouncements only serve to make that endeavor more difficult, set
(01:46):
a source to The Daily Mail, speaking to Rob Shooter's
Shooter Scoop, a courtier expressed deeper frustration. Every time there's progress,
he runs to the press and ruins it. He demands
private but never shuts up. He needs attention like air.
Another palace insider added, Charles is a forgiving man, but
(02:08):
not endlessly so. Tom Sykes writes for the Royalists, it's
fair to assume this is a totally accurate reflection of
the view of a significant cable within the Palace, but
who well. Prince William has made it clear through his
actions that he is opposed to reconciling with his brother
in stark contrast to the king having just won the
(02:30):
Battle of Prince Andrew and seen him purged from royal life.
Today after years of lobbying, some cynics might be wondering
whether Prince William thinks he is on a roll. A
friend of Williams recently told The Royalist that Charles was weak,
and added William was right about Andrew and he is
right about Harry. A source told The Telegraph. It's very sad,
(02:52):
especially because everyone has been working hard behind the scenes
to make the private relationship work. The Princess of Wales
is facing criticism from Royal supporters after she did not
attend the Women's Rugby World Cup final over the weekend,
a landmark moment in English sport. On Saturday, the Red
Roses clinched the world title with a commanding thirty three
(03:15):
to thirteen victory over Canada. The momentous win marked the
combination of the tournament hosted on home soil, but the
absence of Princess Kate, patron of the Rugby Football Union
and a well known rugby enthusiast, did not go unnoticed.
While the Prince and Princess of Wales posted a congratulatory
message on social media, fans quickly took to the comments
(03:38):
to voice disappointment. One user wrote, HRH Catherine should have
been there today at the final earlier appearances, don't negate
not being there to support the team at the final.
The frustration was echoed by others who noted the wider
absence of senior figures at the match. Where's the royal
family and the government today? Shouldn't they have been at
(03:58):
twicken and cheering on our remarkable women in the World Cup. Fortunately,
Zara Tindall was all smiles as she joined her husband,
former England of Rugby star Mike Tindall to celebrate the
Red Roses victory. The couple posed happily for a photo
outside the venue. Zara, wearing a relaxed smile and holding
a cup of what appeared to be a celebratory drink,
(04:19):
looked every bit the proud fan. Kate, who were told
has had to keep a modified schedule of events for
health reasons, did somehow find the time and energy to
conjure up a magical day for her children with a
visit to the set of the upcoming Harry Potter television series.
Kate and the kids stepped into the Wizening Well for
an exclusive behind the scenes look at the new HBO production.
(04:43):
It was so special, a set insider told the Daily Mail.
Kate and the children met the young actors and the
director on the set. There was only one night of
filming there, so it really was a magical ticket. The
standout moment belonged to Prince Louis, who reportedly got to
ride the Hogwarts Express. He seemed to absolutely love it.
It's the dream for most children to step aboard the
(05:04):
Outwards Express. The source added. The event was, of course
wonderful and not selfish, the way it would have been
had Meghan visited the set of a Hollywood production. And
of course Meghan would have blown off Rugby because she
thinks one can be half in half out. Could Australia
be welcoming the Prince and Princess of Wales in the
near future. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese seems to think so.
(05:28):
Following a weekend meeting with King Charles in Scotland, the
Australian leader expressed hope that a royal tour down Under
might soon be on the cards. I'm certainly hoping there
will be one, he told reporters. There's a standing invitation.
The Royal family are always welcome in Australia. Albany's praised
the King and Queen's twenty twenty four visit as a success,
and added I hope that Prince and Princess of Wales
(05:50):
were able to visit as well, as we are hopeful
that might occur in the coming period. The last time
William and Kate toured Australia was in twenty fourteen, when
they famously brought a then infant Prince George along for
his debut royal tour. Now aged twelve, George may return
to the country, this time, likely joined by his siblings
Princess Charlotte ten and Princely seven. During a Saint Patrick's
(06:14):
Day engagement earlier this year, Kate hinted at her desire
to return to the Southern Hemisphere with her children. George
finds it fascinating that he has been to Australia and
New Zealand, she said, I would like to go back
there with them now. It's finding time to do that.
She added as if she flies coach and has a
middle seat, I love to travel. Yes, it's a long flight,
(06:35):
more palace just a moment. Former model Kelly McZee is
Zafchen was asked on Instagram how she knows Megan Kelly
and explained I've actually known her for almost twenty years.
She even came to my wedding fifteen years ago, and
she's been the most amazing, nurturing, fun loving human. Kelly's
(06:55):
nine year old son, George, passed away of COVID and
viral meningitis. Kelly added, She's been by my side especially
since George died, and I cherish our friendship very much.
Meghan gave Royal Watches a rare glimpse into her California
lifestyle over the weekend, but not everyone was charmed. In
a new behind the scenes video shared on social media,
(07:16):
the duchess offered a quiet look inside her Montecito mansion,
showcasing a cozy living room set up and teasing what
might be the next chapter for her lifestyle brand as Ever.
The video featured a teddy fleece lined armchair, a matching
stool occupied by a dozing rescue beagle named Mia, plush throws,
including a luxury hermere's blanket, and a simple wooden side table.
(07:39):
The top of the table was a flower arrangement and
a vase stamped with the as Ever logo Delphinian Nigella
Veronica Meet as Ever with Garden roses and Queen Anne's
lace and a very sleepy Mia looking lovely ladies. Megan
captioned the clip nodding to the floral display. Although the
Duchess didn't confirm a product launch, many fans interpreted the
(08:01):
vas and curated setting as a preview of as Ever's
rumored expansion into homewere. The brand, first unveiled as a
digital platform and potential fashion venture, has hinted at branching
out into lifestyle and design. Reactions, however, we're mixed. While
some followers praise the muted tones and elegant simplicity, others
were far less impressed, with some calling it all cheap
