00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Calorouga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I

2
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:17.039
<v Speaker 1>am your host, Mark Francis Keate is back. Buckingham Palace

3
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>announced the Princess of Wales is set to join the

4
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Royal family in honoring remembrance events this weekend. Cap will

5
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.679
<v Speaker 1>attend the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in Whitehall

6
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>alongside other senior royals, and will also participate in the

7
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday.

8
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:38.359
<v Speaker 1>This news comes after Kate recently completed chemotherapy following her

9
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.359
<v Speaker 1>cancer diagnosis, demonstrating her commitment to supporting the armed forces

10
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.759
<v Speaker 1>and those who have served. Meanwhile, Queen Camilla's attendance at

11
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:48.880
<v Speaker 1>these events remains uncertain that she recovers from a chest infection.

12
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:53.079
<v Speaker 1>The Palace confirmed that Camilla's participation will depend on medical

13
00:00:53.119 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>guidance in the days ahead, after she had to withdraw

14
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>from engagements earlier this week due to her illness. Perhaps

15
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 1>Kate was motivated to come back after hearing William Is

16
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>hanging out with supermodels. Don't get your gossip column printing

17
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:07.920
<v Speaker 1>just yet. It was all in an effort to save

18
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>the planet. William joined supermodels Heidi Klum and Winnie Harlow,

19
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>along with other Earthshot Prize presenters for a traditional South

20
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>African event in Cape Town's Cork Bay, a day after

21
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>his Earthshot Prize awards. Reflecting on the event's success, William shared,

22
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I woke up this morning feeling quite emotional and excited,

23
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:29.359
<v Speaker 1>to which Winnie responded it was an honor. Arriving by

24
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.439
<v Speaker 1>a boat at the picturesque Fishing Village, William met Abolobe

25
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 1>co founder Surge Raymakers, and local fishermen and fisher women

26
00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>involved in Abelobi monitoring program. Holding a yellowtail fish, William

27
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>praise their efforts. You're the trailblazers, You're the leaders. He

28
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>then joined the team as they barbecued fish with a

29
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>guitarist playing nearby, and exchanged greetings with local swimmers calling

30
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>out to him. While William was welcomed by Churing fans,

31
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.040
<v Speaker 1>a small group of protesters voiced their objections. One protester

32
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>held a banner reading William, you have no sovereignty here,

33
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>while the others shouted you are welcome, we love you.

34
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Independent fishermen Dwayne Bals, kept behind a barrier expressed frustration

35
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>of being excluded from the events, saying we are here

36
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>in the rain that storms. They have excluded us. William

37
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>has not come to look at our fish. As William

38
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>sat to enjoy the fish, Heidiklom reflected on his warm demeanor,

39
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>saying he has been so amazing, so welcoming of all

40
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.439
<v Speaker 1>of us, and quite normal in a way. Winnie Harlowe

41
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>was reminded of Princess Diana, saying being with him really

42
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>felt like an extension of her. It really was a

43
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>beautiful moment to see him following in her footsteps. Meanwhile,

44
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:37.159
<v Speaker 1>Harry and Meghan have made their first public appearance together

45
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>in months. The couple appeared side by side in a

46
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>video message they recorded for a United Nations conference in

47
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.719
<v Speaker 1>Columbia focused on ending violence against children. In the clip,

48
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.439
<v Speaker 1>believed to be filmed in Montecito, Megan is seen with

49
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.280
<v Speaker 1>her hair draped over her shoulders dressed in a navy jacket,

50
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.759
<v Speaker 1>while Harry appears in a shirt and jacket. Both are

51
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>wearing poppies on their jackets and nod to remembrance Sunday.

52
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 1>This marks the couple's first public apearance together since they're

53
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>widely publicized tour of Columbia in August, Meghan said, my

54
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 1>husband and I recognize today's reality is marked by greater

55
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 1>connectivity in advanced technology, which of course has many positives,

56
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Speaker 1>but which also compels us to better understand how digital

57
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>violence against children is manifesting itself in this age, As

58
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:22.680
<v Speaker 1>you think to yourself, that's nice that Harry and Meghan

59
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.080
<v Speaker 1>remembered those who died in the line of duty. Remember

60
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>this is Harry and Meghan we're talking about, So of

61
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 1>course there was a controversy of sorts, but only if

62
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>you're trying to stir things up. Royal fans noticed Megan's

63
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.159
<v Speaker 1>poppy looked different from Harry's. Meghan's poppy, with a black

64
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>center and no leaf, stood out from Harry's more traditional

65
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>UK version. One viewer on X noted Harry is wearing

66
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>a British poppy, but I don't think Megan is, while

67
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>another pointed out there is no leaf on Meghan's poppy.

68
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Remain calm. This style is similar to poppies worn by

69
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.639
<v Speaker 1>Queen Camilla and Princess Kate in twenty twenty two, as

70
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.719
<v Speaker 1>well as the Canadian poppy, which typically features four petals

71
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>and no leaf. Historically, the Royal brigsih legions and original

72
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:04.159
<v Speaker 1>poppy design also lacked a leaf, which was added in

73
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 1>the sixties and became widely available in nineteen ninety five.

74
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 1>Another social media user was less understanding, posting Harry doesn't

75
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>get the First Amendment and thinks it's bonkers here they

76
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>are both wearing poppies, a symbol of remembrance for our

77
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>brave soldiers who gave They're all fighting for our freedom.

78
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.759
<v Speaker 1>Total hypocritical frauds. You couldn't make it up. Harry served

79
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:28.800
<v Speaker 1>two tours in Afghanistan, the first from two thousand and

80
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>seven to two thousand and eight and the second from

81
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty twelve to thirteen. He remains involved with the military

82
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:36.839
<v Speaker 1>as the founder of the Invictor Schemes, the Paralympic style

83
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:41.959
<v Speaker 1>competition for wounded service members, and wore a poppy were

84
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:49.240
<v Speaker 1>palacing just a moment. Royal biographer Robert Hartman appeared on

85
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Loose Women recently to discuss his new book, Charles, the

86
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Third New King, New Court, The Inside Story, and gave

87
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.279
<v Speaker 1>us an update on the monarchy's adjustments under King Charles

88
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 1>and explained that Charles has introduced subtle chiffs here and

89
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>there all sorts of little things change. One major shift

90
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.439
<v Speaker 1>he highlighted is the King's approach to hosting events at

91
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.959
<v Speaker 1>the palace. According to Hardman, if you go to a

92
00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>palace party now, it's quite interesting. In the old days

93
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.639
<v Speaker 1>that was sort of a formality to them. There was

94
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.079
<v Speaker 1>always a greeting line where people are expected to stand

95
00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>in particular groups, and the Queen would come to them,

96
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 1>and the King said fairly early on, well, look they've

97
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 1>come to see me, but they've also come to see

98
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.439
<v Speaker 1>each other, so let's make it sort of a party.

99
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Hardman noted that while Charles was sidelined earlier in the

100
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.759
<v Speaker 1>year by a cancer diagnosis, other senior royals stepped forward

101
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.240
<v Speaker 1>to take up the slack, ensuring royal duties continued. The

102
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.079
<v Speaker 1>Royal machine carries on as it does. It's a case

103
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of keep calm, carry on. Possible form at sex bomb.

104
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.639
<v Speaker 1>Princess Anne has been stepping out this autumn knee high boots,

105
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>alternating between Sheik black and a country inspired brown pair

106
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>with tassels, but recently she swapped her signature boots for

107
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:58.160
<v Speaker 1>a stylish pair of Royal blue velvet loafers. During a

108
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>visit to the Royal Regiment of Scotland at Edinburgh Castle.

109
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 1>The loafers, which have charming toe detail, perfectly complimented her

110
00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>vintage tailored skirt suit, last worn in nineteen eighty four

111
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.480
<v Speaker 1>with a jazzy silk scarf peeking out Princess and improved

112
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:16.199
<v Speaker 1>once again that she can rock both timeless and comfortable styles.

113
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:20.439
<v Speaker 1>Hello Magazine pointed out the former possible sex bomb isn't

114
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.879
<v Speaker 1>the only royal embracing velvet footwear. Prince William famously wore

115
00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 1>black velvet loafers embroidered with F eighteen aircrafts for the

116
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:31.240
<v Speaker 1>Top Gun Maverick premiere in twenty twenty two, adding a

117
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>matching velvet jacket to the mix, and he hangs out

118
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.720
<v Speaker 1>with supermodels. Princess Beatrice has also embraced the trend, wearing

119
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 1>block healed velvet shoes with a matching headband during a

120
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:44.040
<v Speaker 1>festive outing in twenty twenty one. Even Sarah Ferguson made

121
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:47.040
<v Speaker 1>a statement with her own cheeky velvet loafers, which bore

122
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:50.519
<v Speaker 1>the family's unofficial motto never complain on one foot and

123
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>never explain on the other. We are unaware of Megan

124
00:06:54.240 --> 00:06:56.800
<v Speaker 1>ever wearing velvet, which potentially could be part of a

125
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.720
<v Speaker 1>defiant act to distance herself from the monarchy. Something like that.

126
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Wait until a slow news day and they have it.

127
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.759
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to email us addresses the Palasintrigue at gmail

<v Speaker 1>good terms.
