Prince Harry fuels talk of a UK comeback after calling America his “current” home, just as Hollywood insiders say the Sussex act has gone stale. Netflix is backing away, Meghan’s $42 jam is being roasted as “overpriced,” and even palace aides hint William could one day strip Harry’s title. But amid the chaos, Oprah Winfrey comes to the rescue, featuring Meghan’s marmalade on her Favorite Things list and reminding Montecito she still picks her neighbors carefully.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ah Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallace Intrigue.
I'm your host, Mark Francis. Prince Harry has reignited speculation
about a possible return to Britain after referring to the
United States as a place where he currently lives. The
(00:22):
Duke of Sussex made the remark in a written piece
released to Mark Veterans Day titled The Bond, the Banter,
the Bravery, what it means to be British. In it,
he wrote, though currently I may live in the United States,
Britain is and always will be the country I proudly
served and fought for. The banter of the mess, the clubhouse,
the pub, the stands. Ridiculous as it sounds, these are
(00:45):
the things that make us British. I make no apology
for it. I love it. The phrasing has prompted fresh
discussion of a weather Harry, who moved to California with
Megan five years ago, might one day return to the UK.
Earlier this year, he told an interviewer he had no
plans to seek American citizenship, a statement that many Royal
watchers took us a sign he wanted to keep his
options open. Harry's military record has occasionally drawn scrutiny, though
(01:09):
he did complete two tours of duty in Afghanistan and
through combat missions as a co pilot gunner in Apache helicopters.
In his memoir, he revealed that he killed twenty five
people in that role. According to page six, a well
placed industry source said that when it comes to Prince
Harran Megan Markel, there is not only no appetite left
(01:29):
for them in LA, but they've also worn through any
goodwill they had. Another insider added bluntly, people are sick
of them. The actor's gotten stale. Netflix, which once signed
the couple to a reported one hundred million dollar deal,
has quietly reduced their arrangement to a first look partnership.
A source told the outlet, they're just hopeless in professional settings,
(01:51):
alleging that Harry even turned up late to a Netflix
meeting and then asked an executive for a cup of
hot chocolate, said to be his favorite drink. The same request,
another insider acclaimed one sense Spotify employees scrambling when the
beverage wasn't on hand. Some in Hollywood have reportedly found
working with the duchess difficult. One source described her as
(02:11):
convinced she's smarter than everyone and dismissive, while another said
she belittles people, she doesn't take advice. That both poor
decision makers. They change their minds frequently. Harry is very charming,
no airs at all, but he's an enabler and she's
just terrible. Writing for The Daily Beasts, royalist Tom Sykes
noted that Megan Markle appeared to come close to acknowledging
(02:32):
that her Netflix series may not return. In a recent interview.
She hinted at shifting her focus toward shorter, more viral content,
saying she hoped to recast her recipes as two minute clips.
Sykes wonders how that would sweare with Harry's latest comments
about evil men running social media. Is anyone's guess. The Duke,
after all, has also made clear that he doesn't want
(02:54):
their children's images shared online, a rule that Megan continues
to bend by posting family moments herself. The problem, Sykes
observed is that while the Sussex's names still attract attention,
their audience now seems interested only when there's a whiff
of royal scandal. As one Hollywood executive put it, if
Harry wanted to do something on Diana or the Hewett
stuff that would work. Oprah may have thrown Meghan a lifeline.
(03:19):
Oprah's twenty twenty five Favorite Things list is out, and
once again Meghan Michael's getting the royal treatment. The medium
Mogul featured Meghan's as ever signature fruit spread set, a
forty two dollars trio of orange marmalade, strawberry and raspberry jams,
calling at the perfect hostess gift. Oprah even added before
my neighbor Meghan started her business, she shared her homemade
(03:40):
recipes with us. The endorsement was a major win for
Meghan's lifestyle brand, which blasted out an email hours later
bragging about the inclusion and offering fans a ten percent discount.
Code Critics, however, weren't as sweet, branding the spread overpriced
and lacking originality. Harry is said to be less than
pleased with Meghan mikel decision to tie her latest as
(04:01):
ever product line to their royal wedding. According to reports,
Meghan's new signature candle number five one nine, named for
their wedding date May nineteenth, twenty eighteen, is described by
the brand as Love at First Light and forms part
of her new holiday collection. A few weeks earlier, Meghan
had posted a video from Washington, d C. In which
a blue and white touch bag embroidered with her Duchess
(04:23):
of Sussex title was prominently displayed. A source told The
Son that Harry is aware such branding choices are not
a great look in fergie Esque palace. Sources have told
Page six they would not be surprised if Prince Harry
eventually faces the same fate as his uncle Andrew. The
warning comes as Labour MP Rachel Maskell has revived her
proposal for a Removal of Titles Bill, which would grant
(04:46):
the monarch and crucially the heir to the throne, the
power to strip individuals of their royal titles if they
passed these bills. I would not be surprised if Harry
is the next one to go, a senior palace inside
had told The outlet, I would not be surprised if
William does that. He's not a vindictive person, but he
feels very let down and it's always much more difficult
when you are let down by somebody close to you.
(05:07):
Royal historian Hugo Vickers has suggested the riffront so deep
that William might not even invite Harry to his coron
nation should the day come. Harry must be quite scared.
Another Palace insider added a Mascal's revived bill, the Sussexes
don't appear to be great and timing. Just days after
he and Megan were spotted in front row of seats
at the World Series wearing Dodgers camps while the Dodgers
(05:29):
beat the Blue Jays, Harry announced he was heading to
Toronto for veteran related events q national outrage. Social media
lit up with fury, with one comment to snapping will
he be wearing his La Dodger's hat and another fuming
he's a Dodger fan. Stay away another acute terrier being spoiled,
narcissistic and disloyal to his father. The King of Canada.
(05:51):
Television host Paddy McGinnis has shared a hilarious story about
the Knight Prince Harry surprised him with a kiss and
a dance off Speak on The Good, The Bad and
the Football podcast Beginness recall the wild evening during Soccer
A twenty sixteen, where he was joined by Paul Shoals
Nikki Butt and Niall Horan. I'll never forget. We all
had a few drinks, he said. They got a tap
(06:12):
on the shoulder, turned around Prince Ary, he goes, I
want to go to Fernando's, referring to the fictional island
from McGinnis's dating show Take Me Out. The comedian said
things quickly escalated. He got hold of me, puts the lips
on me, and then starts having a dance off. I'm
now having a dance off with the eighth in line
to the throne. He takes my t shirt off and
just disappears. That was that just a random night more Palasin,
(06:34):
just a moment. With November well underway, royal preparations for
Christmas are already in full swing, though according to a
former Palasin sider, King Charles has been planning since August.
Former royal butler around Harold, who worked for the King
at High Grove House from two thousand and four to
twenty eleven, told Hart Bingo that as the season changed,
(06:57):
everything for the royals sort of changed too. After returning
from Scio Stland and the autumn, Harold said there are
always bonfire night parties at Highgrove as well as Halloween parties,
but by then Charles is already deep into Christmas mode.
The King would be in full swing of doing Christmas cards,
doing them at every given opportunity. This would have started
in August time, he revealed. Given that the King and
(07:18):
Queen send thousands of signed photo cards each year to family, friends,
world leaders and government figures, the early start makes sense.
Harold said that by late autumn, the Royals begin finalizing
their winter plans, gearing up for Christmas, and the planning
of where they are going to have it Sandringham or Windsor.
The King's holiday schedule also includes his annual Christmas broadcast,
which airs in the UK at three pm on Christmas Day.
(07:41):
Last year, Charles broke with tradition by recording the message
at Fitzerrovia Chapel in London instead of Buckingham Palace or
Windsor Castle, leaving Royal watchers wondering whether he'll change the
setting again this year. And there it like to email

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
