Speaker 1: while the ear rings belonging to the late Queen Elizabeth,
Speaker 1: added an especially poignant touch. As the service concluded, Sophie
Speaker 1: placed a gentle, supportive hand on Kate's back as they
Speaker 1: returned indoors, a quiet moment of reassurance between two. Queen
Speaker 1: Camilla unfortunately missed the service due to illness. She had
Speaker 1: hoped to attend a despite battling a chest infection which
Speaker 1: developed following her recent travels. The service deeply personal for Camilla,
Speaker 1: given her late father a military service remains a pivotal
Speaker 1: moment in the Royal calendar. Following the ceremony, the Royal
Speaker 1: British Legion's Veterans Parade marched through Whitehall, marking key anniversaries
Speaker 1: including the eightieth of d Day in the seventy fifth
Speaker 1: of NATO. With ten thousand veterans marching to honor service
Speaker 1: and sacrifice, this year's Rememberance Sunday resonated deeply across the UK.
Speaker 1: Kate and William updated their social media profiles ahead of

Speaker 1: fallen soldiers. Both their Instagram and ex accounts featured images
Speaker 1: honoring Remembrance Day. The Prince and Princess of Wales have

Speaker 1: at Royal albert Hall, where they wore dark outfits and
Speaker 1: red poppy pins, symbols of remembrance for military personnel who
Speaker 1: died in war. Their cover photo shows a field of
Speaker 1: ceramic red poppies, potentially from the Tower of London's twenty

Speaker 1: Queen Camilla also updated their social media profiles for the occasion.
Speaker 1: Their new cover photo shows them attending a Remembrance They
Speaker 1: service in Ottawa in two thousand and nine with the
Speaker 1: message lest we forget over a field of wild poppies.
Speaker 1: This image has been used for several past Remembrance Days,
Speaker 1: including last year. More pallace in just a Moment. One
Speaker 1: of the new soap opera Lions Here in season eighteen
Speaker 1: of The Crown is whether or not President Trump will
Speaker 1: kick Harry out of the United States. Should Trump appoint
Speaker 1: Rick Grennell, former US Ambassador to Germany and a critic
Speaker 1: of Meghan Markeler's Secretary of State, Harry's case might be
Speaker 1: examined more closely. Grennell, known for his remarks following Harry
Speaker 1: and Meghan's twenty twenty one Oprah interview, described Meghan as
Speaker 1: the classic American woke progressive. A source tells The Mirror
Speaker 1: this has turned into an an horribilis for Harry. There
Speaker 1: was a huge backlash to his autobiography Spare, which they
Speaker 1: were not expecting, as Harry said he thought they would
Speaker 1: get an apology from the royal family. Instead, they were
Speaker 1: mocked and the satirical cartoon show South Park and had
Speaker 1: to duck for cover. Since the summer, they have had
Speaker 1: months of terrible press attacks from the Hollywood Reporter and
Speaker 1: from former Vanity Fair editor and Royal author Tina Brown
Speaker 1: over the marriage, the charity, and what Meghan is like
Speaker 1: as a boss. Nobody can understand why they haven't done
Speaker 1: anything together while this has taken hold, Prince William might
Speaker 1: have thrown some shade Meghan Markel's way when he posed
Speaker 1: with a jar of sour jam. According to sources, The
Speaker 1: Daily Beast reports that William's photo with the jam, a
Speaker 1: gift from a South African fisherwoman during his Earth Shop
Speaker 1: Prize trip, could be a nod to Meghan's recent struggles
Speaker 1: with her own jam centric business venture, American Riviera Orchard,
Speaker 1: which so far hasn't released any products despite some promotional buzz.
Speaker 1: The jam was given to William by fisherwoman Sarah Niemont,
Speaker 1: who mentioned a previous jar had been taken to Buckingham
Speaker 1: Palace years ago. While Kensington Palace officials declined to comment,
Speaker 1: a source downplayed the trolling rumors, insisting the jam was
Speaker 1: simply a gift William received at the Cork Bay event.
Speaker 1: Others point out that in royal circles, photo ops don't
Speaker 1: happen by accident. Possible former sex bomb Princess Anne is
Speaker 1: in the news thanks to throw back video from nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty five, which recently resurfaced on social media. Anne was
Speaker 1: questioned by the late TV presenter Terry Wogan about what
Speaker 1: she would do if the UK abolished the monarchy. Ann,
Speaker 1: with a laugh, simply replied, I'd have to work even
Speaker 1: harder on the farm, referring to her life at Gatcombe Park,
Speaker 1: the estate she's called home since nineteen seventy six, which
Speaker 1: also includes a working farm. Wogan pressed further, asking if
Speaker 1: there were any other careers Anne might have pursued, to
Speaker 1: which she equipped that she had qualified as a heavy
Speaker 1: goods driver out of necessity. She went on to explain,
Speaker 1: if the royal family was abolished and I didn't have
Speaker 1: a farm to work on, my husband and I both
Speaker 1: have heavy goods vehicle licenses, so it seemed like a
Speaker 1: very logical way of earning one's living. The interview also
Speaker 1: delved into Anne's thoughts on Ronald Duties how she felt
Speaker 1: misrepresented by the press, calling it pretty irritating and rumours
Speaker 1: about her relationship with her assistant in law, the late
Speaker 1: Princess Diana, which Anne dismissed as a fairy tale. In
Speaker 1: her final days, Queen Elizabeth II reportedly shared a playful
Speaker 1: jab about us Johnson just days before her passing. According
Speaker 1: to out by Tim Shipman, she was chatting with family
Speaker 1: and staff when the former Prime minister's name came up
Speaker 1: shortly after the PM's resignation. With a glint of mischief
Speaker 1: in her eye, the Queen remarked, well, at least I
Speaker 1: won't have that idiot organizing my funeral now. And there
