00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Calorogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome through Pallace intrigue game.

2
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:16.879
<v Speaker 1>Your host, Francis Kate Middleton returned to her royal duties

3
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:21.199
<v Speaker 1>for the deeply meaningful Remembrance Sunday Service, marking a rare

4
00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>back to back public appearance since her challenging health journey

5
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:28.199
<v Speaker 1>this year. Standing alongside Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, she looked

6
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>visibly moved. She watched King Charles and Prince William lay

7
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.560
<v Speaker 1>wreaths in honor of fallen soldiers at the Cenotaph. Dressed

8
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>in a black coat adorned with three puppies in a

9
00:00:37.079 --> 00:00:40.679
<v Speaker 1>dragoon guard's brooch and nodded to her role as the

10
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>regiment's Colonel in chief, Kate wore earrings that once belonged

11
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>to Queen Elizabeth, adding a personal tribute to the day.

12
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>A somber and visibly emotional King Charles led the royal

13
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 1>family and the nation in honoringly fallen at the Remembrance

14
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.039
<v Speaker 1>Sunday service. The King, turning seventy six this week and

15
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>currently undergoing cancer treatment, observed the traditional two minute silence

16
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.520
<v Speaker 1>before laying a wreath at the Senataph, Wearing the Royal

17
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.040
<v Speaker 1>Navy uniform of the Admiral of the Fleet. He paid

18
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:07.760
<v Speaker 1>his respects with the custom wreath resembling one used by

19
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>King George the sixth. His heartfelt message on read in

20
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>grateful remembrance of your service and sacrifice. Charles R, Prince William,

21
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Princess Anne, and Prince Edward followed suit, each laying wreaths

22
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:22.319
<v Speaker 1>in tribute. Kate and Sophie watched from the Foreign Office balcony.

23
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Kate paid quiet tribute with her attire, wearing a black

24
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>fascinator style hat and a somber black coat adorned with

25
00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>three poppies in the silver dragoon guard's brooch. The brooch

26
00:01:32.480 --> 00:01:34.879
<v Speaker 1>highlighted her role as Colonel in chief of the regiment,

27
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.480
<v Speaker 1>while the ear rings belonging to the late Queen Elizabeth,

28
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:41.599
<v Speaker 1>added an especially poignant touch. As the service concluded, Sophie

29
00:01:41.599 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>placed a gentle, supportive hand on Kate's back as they

30
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:49.079
<v Speaker 1>returned indoors, a quiet moment of reassurance between two. Queen

31
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Camilla unfortunately missed the service due to illness. She had

32
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:55.159
<v Speaker 1>hoped to attend a despite battling a chest infection which

33
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>developed following her recent travels. The service deeply personal for Camilla,

34
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>given her late father a military service remains a pivotal

35
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.519
<v Speaker 1>moment in the Royal calendar. Following the ceremony, the Royal

36
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:10.319
<v Speaker 1>British Legion's Veterans Parade marched through Whitehall, marking key anniversaries

37
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 1>including the eightieth of d Day in the seventy fifth

38
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.639
<v Speaker 1>of NATO. With ten thousand veterans marching to honor service

39
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>and sacrifice, this year's Rememberance Sunday resonated deeply across the UK.

40
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 1>Kate and William updated their social media profiles ahead of

41
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Remembrance Sunday, continuing the Royal tradition of paying tribute to

42
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:32.360
<v Speaker 1>fallen soldiers. Both their Instagram and ex accounts featured images

43
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>honoring Remembrance Day. The Prince and Princess of Wales have

44
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>opted for a photo from last year's Festival of Remembrance

45
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 1>at Royal albert Hall, where they wore dark outfits and

46
00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 1>red poppy pins, symbols of remembrance for military personnel who

47
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>died in war. Their cover photo shows a field of

48
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 1>ceramic red poppies, potentially from the Tower of London's twenty

49
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.039
<v Speaker 1>fourteen tribute to World War One soldiers. King Charles and

50
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Queen Camilla also updated their social media profiles for the occasion.

51
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:00.199
<v Speaker 1>Their new cover photo shows them attending a Remembrance They

52
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:02.840
<v Speaker 1>service in Ottawa in two thousand and nine with the

53
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>message lest we forget over a field of wild poppies.

54
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.639
<v Speaker 1>This image has been used for several past Remembrance Days,

55
00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:16.960
<v Speaker 1>including last year. More pallace in just a Moment. One

56
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>of the new soap opera Lions Here in season eighteen

57
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>of The Crown is whether or not President Trump will

58
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>kick Harry out of the United States. Should Trump appoint

59
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Rick Grennell, former US Ambassador to Germany and a critic

60
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 1>of Meghan Markeler's Secretary of State, Harry's case might be

61
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>examined more closely. Grennell, known for his remarks following Harry

62
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and Meghan's twenty twenty one Oprah interview, described Meghan as

63
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 1>the classic American woke progressive. A source tells The Mirror

64
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>this has turned into an an horribilis for Harry. There

65
00:03:46.719 --> 00:03:49.479
<v Speaker 1>was a huge backlash to his autobiography Spare, which they

66
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.479
<v Speaker 1>were not expecting, as Harry said he thought they would

67
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.039
<v Speaker 1>get an apology from the royal family. Instead, they were

68
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>mocked and the satirical cartoon show South Park and had

69
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>to duck for cover. Since the summer, they have had

70
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.639
<v Speaker 1>months of terrible press attacks from the Hollywood Reporter and

71
00:04:03.680 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 1>from former Vanity Fair editor and Royal author Tina Brown

72
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 1>over the marriage, the charity, and what Meghan is like

73
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.879
<v Speaker 1>as a boss. Nobody can understand why they haven't done

74
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>anything together while this has taken hold, Prince William might

75
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:18.399
<v Speaker 1>have thrown some shade Meghan Markel's way when he posed

76
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:21.600
<v Speaker 1>with a jar of sour jam. According to sources, The

77
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Daily Beast reports that William's photo with the jam, a

78
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>gift from a South African fisherwoman during his Earth Shop

79
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.199
<v Speaker 1>Prize trip, could be a nod to Meghan's recent struggles

80
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>with her own jam centric business venture, American Riviera Orchard,

81
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:37.399
<v Speaker 1>which so far hasn't released any products despite some promotional buzz.

82
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>The jam was given to William by fisherwoman Sarah Niemont,

83
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 1>who mentioned a previous jar had been taken to Buckingham

84
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:48.079
<v Speaker 1>Palace years ago. While Kensington Palace officials declined to comment,

85
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.720
<v Speaker 1>a source downplayed the trolling rumors, insisting the jam was

86
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 1>simply a gift William received at the Cork Bay event.

87
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Others point out that in royal circles, photo ops don't

88
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:02.240
<v Speaker 1>happen by accident. Possible former sex bomb Princess Anne is

89
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.399
<v Speaker 1>in the news thanks to throw back video from nineteen

90
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.759
<v Speaker 1>eighty five, which recently resurfaced on social media. Anne was

91
00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>questioned by the late TV presenter Terry Wogan about what

92
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>she would do if the UK abolished the monarchy. Ann,

93
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>with a laugh, simply replied, I'd have to work even

94
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.319
<v Speaker 1>harder on the farm, referring to her life at Gatcombe Park,

95
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 1>the estate she's called home since nineteen seventy six, which

96
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 1>also includes a working farm. Wogan pressed further, asking if

97
00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 1>there were any other careers Anne might have pursued, to

98
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>which she equipped that she had qualified as a heavy

99
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>goods driver out of necessity. She went on to explain,

100
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:35.959
<v Speaker 1>if the royal family was abolished and I didn't have

101
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>a farm to work on, my husband and I both

102
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>have heavy goods vehicle licenses, so it seemed like a

103
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.759
<v Speaker 1>very logical way of earning one's living. The interview also

104
00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.439
<v Speaker 1>delved into Anne's thoughts on Ronald Duties how she felt

105
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 1>misrepresented by the press, calling it pretty irritating and rumours

106
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>about her relationship with her assistant in law, the late

107
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Princess Diana, which Anne dismissed as a fairy tale. In

108
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.920
<v Speaker 1>her final days, Queen Elizabeth II reportedly shared a playful

109
00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>jab about us Johnson just days before her passing. According

110
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:06.120
<v Speaker 1>to out by Tim Shipman, she was chatting with family

111
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>and staff when the former Prime minister's name came up

112
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.759
<v Speaker 1>shortly after the PM's resignation. With a glint of mischief

113
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.199
<v Speaker 1>in her eye, the Queen remarked, well, at least I

114
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.800
<v Speaker 1>won't have that idiot organizing my funeral now. And there
