Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Calorouga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas Intriegame your host,
Mark Francis Taylor. Swift has revealed an amusing behind the
scenes moment from her meeting with Prince William and his
children during her Era's tour stop at Wembley Stadium in

(00:26):
June twenty twenty four. The pop superstar met the Prince
of Wales along with Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Backstage
ahead of the show. She was joined by her boyfriend
Travis Kelsey and his brother Jason. The group even posed
for a selfie, which Taylor later shared on social media
with the caption happy Birthday, Mate, London shows are off

(00:47):
to a splendid start, tagging Prince William on his birthday.
Now more than a year later, Swift has shared more
about that night as a surprise guest on the Kelsey
Brothers New Heights podcast while discussing the London view It
tailor record an awkward but funny moment involving Jason and
a beer. Wasn't this the week I got to watch
Jason meet the royal family? She said. I watched him

(01:10):
have this moment with his beer where he was like
but I want to take it, but I didn't know
that I probably should not take it. I watched this
happen and it was kind of the most amazing thing.
Jason responded, I like that you picked up on it,
because that was exactly what was going through my head.
Is it disrespectful to have a beer when you meet royalty?
Swift added, yeah? Or is it authentic by having the beer?

(01:32):
I would normally have the beer, wouldn't they want me
to be myself? As it turns out, the Royals nearly
missed the entire moment. According to a source who spoke
to Hello at the time, William and the children were
running late and almost missed their meat and greet entirely.
They had a nightmare getting in The sources said they
only had twenty five minutes to spare there was a

(01:52):
bit of stress and panic. Fortunately, things came together just
in time for the quick backstage visit. The family made
their way to the box seats and left about ten
minutes before the show ended, avoiding the crowd of departing fans.
After the concert, even Travis Kelsey's mother Donna, spoke about
how surreal it all felt when you meet people like that.

(02:13):
The Royals, or Paul McCartney or Hugh Grant. You're just
like who in this picture doesn't fit, she said of
his son's reaction. Why am I here and why am
I even allowed to talk to these individuals? It just
doesn't seem right. You can do all sorts of terrible things,
but the one thing you cannot do is say bad
things about Princess Catherine, who is utterly perfect. Biographer Andrew

(02:35):
Lowney claims that Prince Andrew's alleged unkind remarks about the
Princess of Wales may have stemmed from jealousy and that
they have contributed to a deep rift with his nephew,
Prince William. Speaking to Okay magazine about his new book
entitled The Rise and Fall of the House of York,
Lowney said he was surprised to hear such comments, adding
I can't see how anyone could make unkind comments about

(02:58):
Kate when she's been the fan's saving grace. It surprised me,
but people do get jealous. I'd have thought Prince Andrew
would respect William's future king, though, according to Lowney, the
remarks marked a turning point in William's relationship with his uncle.
William has a very strong sense of public duty and
is doing his best to keep the show on the road.
Everyone is pulling together Charles, Ann Edward, William and others,

(03:21):
but the whole side has been let down by Prince Andrew.
The book also alleges that when William becomes king, he
will seek to evict Andrew and Sarah Ferguson from the
Royal Lodge of King Charles has not already done so,
One source told Lowney he also loathes Sarah, Andrew's ex wife,
and can't wait for the day when his father throws
them both out. If Charles doesn't, I guarantee you the

(03:43):
first thing William does when he eventually becomes king is
to get them evicted. Kate, she had a knew Summer
message in her own voice. In a video posted to
her official social media accounts. The princess provided a reflective
narration accompanied by images of nature, garden and children at play.
The video was part of her ongoing Mother Nature series.

(04:05):
Catherine tells us summer is the season for abundance. Just
as the flowers bloom and the fruits ripen, we two
are reminded of our own potential for growth. It is
the time to ignite our inner fire and explore our
own creativity, passions, and dreams. As we bask in the
sunlit hours, friends and families come together, playing, connecting, being present,

(04:25):
embracing the joy to be found in even the most
fleeting moments and shared experiences. Our lives flourish when we
cherish the bonds of love and friendship. So open your hearts, sing, dance, play.
The days are still long, so simply love and be loved.
In a caption to the post, signed C. Four Catherine,
she wrote, our lives flourish when we cherish the bonds

(04:45):
of love and friendship. It has never been more important
to appreciate the value of one another and of mother Nature.
He is the Summer Kate did not appear in the video.
The media gave her credit for interrupting her vacation to
do a few minutes of voiceover. Buckingham Palace quietly deleted
a birthday tribute to Princess Anne after it sparked confusion

(05:05):
and a fair bit of embarrassment online. The palace had
published a list of seventy five facts about the Princess
Royal to Marcus seventy fifth birthday, but Royal watchers quickly
spotted a glaring error in fact number fourteen. The post
claim that Princess Anne has two step children, Tom and
Amy Lawrence, from his second marriage to Vice Admiral Sir

(05:26):
Timothy Lawrence. The problem Sir tim has never been married
before and known children have ever been linked to him.
The incorrect detail led to a flurry of reactions on
social media, with one user writing either I've gone crazy
or Sir Tim Lawrence's secret children. Others wondered if it
was an AI error. Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie had

(05:48):
been defended by friends following renewed tabloid scrutiny linked to
Andrew Lowney's new book entitled The Rise and Fall of
the House of York. A contemporary of the sisters told
The Royalist all they have ever done is stand by
their parents in the most horrifically public circumstances. They're sweet
girls who understand that they are immensely privileged. They were
told to get jobs by the firm and they did that,

(06:10):
so it seems unfair to attack them from making money.
The source added that neither Princess is devastated or heartbroken
by the book, which they view as a rehash of
old material. A former royal photographer has claimed Queen Camilla
is privately urging King Charles to reign in Prince William.
Ian Pelham Turner told The Mirror he believes the Queen
is seeing William trying to create issues and she's told

(06:32):
Charles to stop it. It's been rumored for a while
that William has been trying to push whatever in the monarchy,
and he's a driving force behind the throne, and I
think Charles should be Royal Author Christopher Anderson previously told
US Weekly the Prince of Wales merely tolerates his stepmother
and that she has always been a little afraid of him,
even admitting she needs a Gin and tonic after their

(06:54):
first meeting. Sources say the Sussex tensions ultimately helped bring
William and Camilla close up, and credits the always wonderful
Princess of Wales for smoothing the path. Kate has never
been dismissive of Camilla and always treated her with kindness. Well,
Palasin just a moment, By the way. If you're a

(07:15):
true crime junkie, check out celebrity trials from your friends
who at callaoveri Shark Media. It's out every day covering
the most sensational trials, including classic ones as well celebrity
trials wherever you get your podcasts. In The Royalist, Tom
Sykes discussed the Netflix deal, writing, Harry and Megan won't
get paid big bucks unless they make stuff that attract eyeballs,

(07:36):
that seems fair and might even make them less of
a target. I'm not sure that anyone expects one announced project,
a short Ugandan documentary about HIV in Africa Masaka Kids
a Rhythm Within, to generate a casino payday. But I
do think, maybe naively, that the world is a better
place with films like that in it. If Harry can
bring some focus to the desperate needs of kids affected

(07:59):
by HIV in Africa after the implosion of his center
Bali Charity, then hats off to him. Well. Archwall's adaptation
of Carly Fortune's romance novel Meet Me at the Lake
Ever See the Light of Day? Who can guess? As
the old Hollywood adage has it, no one knows anything.
The trailer for the upcoming season of the Cooking Show was,

(08:20):
of course mocked in it Meganizine wearing white and green
belted floral print Carolina Herrera mini dress, valued at twenty
three hundred pounds by the Express. Social media users described
it as beautiful but not for cooking and in a
if Meghan did this story. High Grove House, King Charles's
Country Estate has added a new luxury item to its

(08:43):
online shop, a limited addition teddy bear, priced at two
hundred and sixty nine pounds. Handcrafted in England by Merry Thought.
The bear is made from the finest silver colored mohair
plush with soft cotton velvet detailing. It's left pores embroidered
in gold the King's Royal cipher, and it comes dressed
with a replica of the Order of the Garter Star

(09:05):
and an authentic Royal Victorian Order sash. The shop has
also expanded its range to include other high end items
such as a twenty four hundred and ninety pound berbery coat,
new homeware and gourmet food products. Just swap some words
out of that story and insert words like Montecito and

(09:25):

nine pound teddy bear is received. There You have it
