Prince Harry & Meghan Markle avoid paparazzi by sitting Front-Row at the World Series

Harry and Meghan, who left the UK for privacy, turned up in the front row at Dodger Stadium for Game Four — cue caps, cameras, and a 6–1 loss for L.A.

Meghan’s pumpkin-patch reel vanished amid privacy concerns after viewers spotted the children in the background, reigniting chatter about longtime confidant Markus Anderson.

 OK! reports Meghan is prepared to “go it alone” with As Ever, while a flurry of briefings says Prince William plans to formally strip Prince Andrew of the Duke of York title when he becomes king, with claims he’s pushing a broader slim-down of royal titles and even leaning on Beatrice and Eugenie to help move their father from Royal Lodge.

One cheeky new review advises us to “Be Kind” (one star), and Windsor watchers note Andrew’s Garter banner has now been removed from St George’s Chapel.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I
am your lost Mark Francis, Harry and Meghan avoided the
paparazzi by sitting in the front row of the World Series.
The fruit Jam saleswoman and her husband made a surprise
appearance at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night, joining the crowd

(00:23):
for Game four between the La Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex was spotted sitting front
row just ahead of Dodger's legend Sandy Kofax, cheering on
Meghan's hometown team. Megan showed her support in an oversized
white button down, dark trousers and her signature blue Dodgers cap,
once she's been seen in many times before. Harry coordinated

(00:46):
in a black blaze and white T shirt and dark trousers,
eventually donning his own Dodgers had as the game got
under weigh. Although some fans booed when the Sussexes we
was shown on the big screen, the couple appeared relaxed
as they watched the matchup, which ended in disappointment for
local fans as the Dodgers fell to Toronto six to one
time series. Other familiar faces in the crowd included James Marsden,

(01:07):
Austin Butler, and Sidney Sweeney. While this marked Harry's first
World Series appearance, it wasn't his first taste of Major
League Baseball. The couple previously attended the twenty nineteen London
Series between the Red Sox and Yankees, the league's first
ever regular season game played in Europe. We've discussed how.
On Sunday, Megan posted a short series of videos from

(01:29):
a local pumpkin patch, showing Archie and Lilibit enjoying the
outing alongside their grandmother Doria Ragland and family friend Marcus Anderson.
The clips also included a time lapse of Prince Harry
carving a pumpkin at home in Montecito, but within hours
the video disappeared from Meghan's Instagram feed. The reason for
the quick deletion appears to be privacy. In the background

(01:52):
of Harry's carving session, the couple's children could be seen
running around, blurry and distant, but visible enough of followers
to recognize their faces. For a family that has closely
guarded its children's privacy since stepping back from Royal Life,
the moment was unusual. By the time the post was
taken down, screenshots had already spread on x and TikTok,
prompting commentary from Royal watchers and tabloids alike. The Royalist

(02:16):
sub Stack reported that the Sussex communications team moved at
lightning speed to remove the footage, calling it an extraordinary
lapse for a couple so protective of their children's images.
An unnamed publicist told The Royalist, it's all a bit
too convenient. The clip gets attention, the Internet explodes, and
suddenly Meghan's brand rolled out has on everyone's radar. Cynical

(02:40):
marketing aside, the clip does have people asking about Marcus
Anderson the way he always seems to be around. In June,
Hello magazine reported on the Sussex's visit to Disneyland. They wrote,
Meghan's longtime confidant, Marcus Anderson is believed to be the
man seen with the couple as they toured the Californian
theme park. He appeared in VERYUS photos wearing a light

(03:01):
blue shirt, jeans, in a cap, and in the images,
Meghan used a heart emogi to obscure his face. In
March twenty twenty four, the US son published a column
under The Royal Fox which reads it. Has also said
he introduced Meghan to some of her best friends, including
Amal and George Clooney and her reported stylists Jessica mulroney.

(03:23):
The Powers both had a reasonably normal upbringing in comparison
to their A list friends. It's not clear how the
duo met, but they are frequently seen traveling together. In
twenty eighteen, they jetted off to Madrid together for a
getaway with friend and fashion designer Mischa Nonu. They've also
traveled to New York together and been pictured all over
town in Toronto in arm la dot COM's October fourth

(03:47):
recap of Meghan's appearance at the Paris Fashions show mentions.
Also present at the show was her close friend Marcus Anderson,
the businessman who once played a key role in Meghan
and Harry's romance, as he was the one who introduced
to them. A source tells Okay magazine, Megan would love
for Harry to be involved in whatever she's doing, but
that's not how it played out, so this is something

(04:09):
she'll have to do by herself. She's prepared to go
at it alone and will stop at nothing to make
a success of as ever moving on, Prince William is
reportedly deeply unhappy that Prince Andrew has technically retained his
title of Duke of York despite no longer using it publicly,
and is expected to formally strip him of it once
he ascends the throne. According to The Daily Mail, William

(04:32):
is dissatisfied with the compromise reached by King Charles, which
allowed Andrew to keep the title in name though he
agreed not to use it. Royal author Tom Sykes told
the paper William is deeply unhappy with what he sees
as a bodged agreement on Andrew. He wants him out
and he is likely to do this as soon as
he can, Almost as soon as he becomes King. William

(04:52):
was planning to formally banish Andrew from the royal family.
As King, William would immediately strip Prince Andrew of his title,
but he might also consider removing the titles from a
number of others. He is looking at the whole family
and wondering if it should be streamlined, and if so, how,
But currently there are no decisions beyond one. Andrew was
almost certainly going. Royal expert Helena Chad told Fox News

(05:17):
Digital that William is looking into the future where a
solution focused lens he is far more ruthless than his father.
He always takes the heart of line. He can see
reputational damage escalating for the royal family and is reviewing
a decisive way forward to combat further scandals. He realizes
it's harder for the king to deal with his brother,
and it will be for him to deal with his

(05:38):
uncle in due course. However, he feels his father has
teated too long with the kid Glove's approach. Prince William
and the whole royal family are fully supportive of King
Charles taking a stronger stance against his brother. William would
prefer a swift, clean break with Prince Andrew before things
declined further. He also hopes to shield the king from
the damage. An insider tells Closer williams absolutely convinced that

(06:02):
the monarchy can only survive if it is streamlined and
scandaled free, and in his view, that means Megan and
Harry need to be cut loose completely. The insider says
he wants to keep up the momentum and hold his
father to his promise, which was to slim down the
monarchy together and cut tires with hangers on who profit
from their connections to the family even though they're not
serving royals. William is taking Charles Hard's stance on Andrew

(06:25):
as a huge victory. It's something he's been after for ages,
and in his views, paved the way for Harry to
get the same sort of treatment. William reportedly issued a
royal ultimatum, telling Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie their titles could
be at risk if they didn't convince their father to
finally move out of Royal Lodge. The claim comes from

(06:46):
broadcast to Emily Maetless, who famously interviewed Andrew for his
twenty nineteen News Night appearance on The news Agent's podcast.
Maeteless said there were reports that William met with his
cousins last week to apply pressure. Maetlss said there's a
question over whether there had been earlier in the day
a meeting between Prince William and the princesses Beatrice and Eugenie,
saying you guys have got to get your dad to

(07:07):
move out of Royal Lodge, otherwise we will start re
examining the state of your own titles. They are at
the moment allowed to be princesses. But there was a
bitter pressure, we understand, being put on the princesses to
say this is going to happen. Obviously, you can see
why Andrew is a father would want to keep their
daughters happy and keep their titles in place, come what may.

(07:28):
The discussion came after reports that Charles, returning from his
Vatican visit, had planned to personally confront Andrew at Royal
Lodge a symbolic reading of the Riot Act, but according
to Matlus, the Palace pulled the plug once the media
caught winned. She said, what happened I understand was that
the Palace then got very nervous, and when they saw
the choppers and the helicopters, they thought this has all
got too big, this has got out of control. They

(07:51):
canceled the whole thing, she said. The King just went
straight home and never came by more palace in just
a moment. A new review with no name of Palace
Intrigue has invited us to be kind. One star Prince

(08:12):
Andrew's personal banner displaying his coat of arms inside Windsor castles,
Saint george Chapel has been quietly removed in what royal
observers are calling a hugely symbolic act. The banner, which
hung beside Prince Williams, represented Andrews's place within the Order
of the Garter, the most senior order of British chivalry.
It was first raised in two thousand and six, when
the Duke was appointed a Knight of the Order. Its removal, however,

(08:34):
is rare, traditionally reserved for instances of high trees and
or rebellion against the Crown. A source told the Son
it was removed at the most convenient moment. The banner's
design included the three Lions of England, the Harp of
Ireland and Scotland's Lion rampant with an anchor symbolizing Andrew's
naval service, a design similar to the one born by

(08:55):
Kings George the fifth and sixth when they held the
same York title. Photographs taken of the weekend showed the
banner still in place, but by midweek only an empty
bracker remained above the choir stalls. Saint George's Chapel holds
deep significance for the Duke. It is where he attended
the funerals of his parents, Queen Elizabeth the Second and
Prince Philip, and where his Order of the gartera membership
has long caused quiet unease among courtiers following his twelve

(09:18):
million pound settlement with Virginia Geoffrey, who accused him of
sexual assault, allegations he is consistently denied. While the Duke
has refrained from joining the order's public ceremonies since twenty nineteen,
he has continued to attend his private luncheon each June. Historically,
forty knights have been expelled from the Order since its
founding in thirteen forty eight by Edward the third. In

(09:39):
past centuries, a disgraced knight's banner would be unceremoniously thrown
to the chapel floor and kicked into a ditch outside,
a powerful symbol of dishonour that, in Andrew's case, appears
to have found a quiet modern echo. And there you
have it. If you like to email us our addresses
