00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome through Pallas Intury Game.

2
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Your host Mark Francis completely overshadowed by the Kate video.

3
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Netflix announced the release date for Harry's so called by

4
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:30.440
<v Speaker 1>the press release highly anticipated documentary series Polo, premiering in December.

5
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:32.679
<v Speaker 1>The series will give viewers an exclusive behind the scenes

6
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.479
<v Speaker 1>look at the world of elite polo players, pulling back

7
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 1>the curtain on the intense skill and dedication required to

8
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>compete at the top level. The series also promises to

9
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>give podcasters something to make fun of before rehashing the usual.

10
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 1>The King will have the family to Sandringham Stories Thanks Harry.

11
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.439
<v Speaker 1>Produced by Harry's Archwell Productions and collaboration with Boardwalk Pictures,

12
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>the series with film primarily at the super relatable us

13
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>IT Open Polo Championship in Florida. It's set to showcase

14
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>not only the social and glamorous aspects of polo, but

15
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.879
<v Speaker 1>also the grit and passion that drive the sport. The project,

16
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.439
<v Speaker 1>which has been in the works since April, is close

17
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>to Harry's heart, and he has played polo for decades,

18
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 1>often participating in charity matches. His longtime friend and polo

19
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:24.599
<v Speaker 1>pro Nacho Figeris expressed excitement about the project, noting it

20
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.799
<v Speaker 1>as a golden opportunity to introduce the sport to a

21
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 1>wider audience. Both Prince Harry and Megan Michle are serving

22
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 1>as executive producers on the series, further expanding their creative

23
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.079
<v Speaker 1>ventures with Netflix, for which no doubt Netflix is super

24
00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 1>happy about. Meanwhile, the Wales promo machine is up and

25
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 1>running in full force. The Daily Beast even spoke with

26
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.319
<v Speaker 1>a friend of the couple who said the video is

27
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.079
<v Speaker 1>the reset to end all resets. This is Kate and

28
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>William as they mean to go on. It's family first

29
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>and f the haters, f the press, and f Harry

30
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>and Megan. It helps that they actually are like this.

31
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 1>If you go to a kid's birthday party at their house,

32
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.239
<v Speaker 1>they will be the ones organizing games for all the kids,

33
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.799
<v Speaker 1>whereas the rest of us would happily get an entertainer

34
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.919
<v Speaker 1>in and be drinking wine in the kitchen. The Beast writes,

35
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 1>the reign of King William and Queen Kate we were

36
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 1>put on notice. Monday will be shiny, professional and digital first,

37
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>with a heavy focus on artfully configured corn fields, butterflies, positivity,

38
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 1>flattering light, sunsets, picnics in the forest, card games, and

39
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>snogging prints William on the beach. The great lesson that

40
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Kate learned from the late Queen Elizabeth, and has applied

41
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>much more diligently than any of her children or grandchildren

42
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.439
<v Speaker 1>ever have, is the importance of mystique. Kate has never

43
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.159
<v Speaker 1>given a personal interview. We don't know her favorite foods

44
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.919
<v Speaker 1>or what her preferred colors are. Like the Queen, she

45
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:47.879
<v Speaker 1>has guarded her privacy by simply never talking about herself,

46
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.360
<v Speaker 1>her feelings, her opinions, or her emotions. In the deeply

47
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:54.319
<v Speaker 1>personal video released Monday, Kate broke with the habit of

48
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>a lifetime and let us in. She told us about

49
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 1>the deep stuff of her life, her hopes and fears

50
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>for her soulf and her family for the first time ever.

51
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>This video was a declaration of war on the stiff

52
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 1>upper lip. The rejection of the strictures of royalty also

53
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>meant there was no room in the video for an

54
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 1>embrace with King Charles or Queen Camilla. Despite the relentless

55
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.680
<v Speaker 1>messaging from the King's office over the past nine months

56
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 1>about how close he and Kate have become in their

57
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>shared cancer journeys. Instead, we were treated to family time

58
00:03:21.840 --> 00:03:25.919
<v Speaker 1>at Middleton Household, with the ostoonormal Waleses hanging with Kate's parents,

59
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>Michael and Carroll among the billions of people watching what

60
00:03:28.960 --> 00:03:30.879
<v Speaker 1>could in another world be a two minute add for

61
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.639
<v Speaker 1>a dating site. There can be little doubt that among

62
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.719
<v Speaker 1>them was one particular resident of Montecito, and Megan. Michael

63
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.319
<v Speaker 1>might be forgiven for wondering what the world, and specifically

64
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>the British media, would have said if it was she

65
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 1>and Harry who had released a video vignette of such

66
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>toothaching sacarinity, our royal inside a deep crown took it

67
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>a step further, telling us by featuring her own parents

68
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 1>instead of her royal in laws, Kate is subtly undermining

69
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:59.759
<v Speaker 1>the traditional power structure of the monarchy. She's painting a

70
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.439
<v Speaker 1>pure of a normal family it just happens to be royal,

71
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>rather than a royal family trying to appear normal. This

72
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>calculated omission of Charles suggests a growing rift between the

73
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 1>King's vision of monarchy and the Wales modernization agenda. It's

74
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>a bold move that positions William and Catherine as the

75
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>true power center of the Royal family, relegating Charles to

76
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 1>a figurehead role even before he's had a chance to

77
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:27.600
<v Speaker 1>leave his mark on the throne. Piers Morgan really liked

78
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 1>Kate's video and the Sun. Piers writes, in forty years

79
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>of covering the Royal family, I have never seen anything

80
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>like Catherine's video. First, it represents a seismic departure from

81
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>anything that Royals have ever done before. As a former

82
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:43.639
<v Speaker 1>newspaper editor, and I'm used to very brief, terse unemotional

83
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.680
<v Speaker 1>statements about anything to do with the private lives or

84
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:50.040
<v Speaker 1>health of the Royal family if they deigned to comment

85
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.560
<v Speaker 1>at all. But Kat and William that we live in

86
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.000
<v Speaker 1>a very different time now and that young people today

87
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.639
<v Speaker 1>expect a more touchy feely Instagram friendly sharing approach if

88
00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.920
<v Speaker 1>the magic of the monarchy is to be be maintained.

89
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.160
<v Speaker 1>The film might have felt a bit smoltzy to older

90
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:07.399
<v Speaker 1>people from the stiff upper lip generations, but I loved it.

91
00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 1>It felt real, authentic and very human, and it made

92
00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>me feel quite emotional watching it, probably because, like so

93
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>many other people, I currently have first and experience of

94
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 1>someone very close to me going through cancer. Hell At

95
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:21.600
<v Speaker 1>its core was the message that the dreaded big Sea

96
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.800
<v Speaker 1>can strike anyone at any time, and it doesn't matter

97
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 1>how much money and privilege you have, or how many

98
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.319
<v Speaker 1>tr as you wear. We hear a lot about the

99
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.079
<v Speaker 1>need to always remember what's really important in life, but

100
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.879
<v Speaker 1>how much do we truly think about it until something

101
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:37.560
<v Speaker 1>terrible happens to force us too. Katy's a woman who,

102
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:41.079
<v Speaker 1>on the face of it, has everything many women would love. Palaces, servants,

103
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 1>virtually unlimited budgets for clothes and jewelry, global superstardom. Yet

104
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.800
<v Speaker 1>cancer has transformed her into a woman who would gladly

105
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 1>give up all those material and ephemeral things for good

106
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.360
<v Speaker 1>health and the ability to continue being with a family

107
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>of simply loving and being loved. It's great to hear

108
00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:58.839
<v Speaker 1>she's cancer free at the moment, but I was also

109
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 1>glad she made a point of saying she knows she's

110
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 1>not out of the woods yet. It will be at

111
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>least five years before doctors will be able to say

112
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 1>with any confidence that she's cured. And as Kate said,

113
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:10.759
<v Speaker 1>my path to healing and full recovery is long, and

114
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I must continue to take each day as it comes.

115
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.079
<v Speaker 1>We don't know exactly what cancer she's had or how

116
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.480
<v Speaker 1>rough her treatment has been on her, But we do

117
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>know it's been serious and rough enough for her to

118
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.199
<v Speaker 1>make barely any public appearances this year, and she's not

119
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:25.240
<v Speaker 1>yet made any firm commitment to do more any time soon,

120
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:27.720
<v Speaker 1>to which I say, I am sure, I speak for

121
00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>minions of others. Take all the time you need, your

122
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.439
<v Speaker 1>Royal Highness. Kate's illness and lengthy enforced absence from the

123
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.600
<v Speaker 1>public stage has been enforced just how beloved and important

124
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>she is to this country, as is her immediate family,

125
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>who all came across so wonderfully well in the film.

126
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.759
<v Speaker 1>Nothing defines the character of a human being more than

127
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.439
<v Speaker 1>how they need to respond to adversity, and Kat has

128
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.079
<v Speaker 1>responded with such magnificent courage, dignity, and grace to her

129
00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>biggest challenge. Our future Queen is a national treasure whom

130
00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.639
<v Speaker 1>we will now feel very protective and unlike the bitter

131
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 1>California duo spewing their bile and filling their boots across

132
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.759
<v Speaker 1>the Atlantic, she is the epitome of what it really

133
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 1>means to be a royal Palacentric can be right back

134
00:07:11.319 --> 00:07:14.040
<v Speaker 1>as this back and forth pr war between the Whales

135
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:18.120
<v Speaker 1>and the Sussex continue. Another notion was floated in Hello.

136
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Meghan and Harry are said to be planning their third

137
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 1>foreign tour in a year. A friend of Prince Harry

138
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:27.040
<v Speaker 1>told Hello, that's his world, that's what he's used to.

139
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:31.319
<v Speaker 1>Lesotho or Botswana have been floated as potential next destinations

140
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>because of ties to Harry's charity center Balle Hello also

141
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.399
<v Speaker 1>reports that Harry's birthday party may actually be small and

142
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>not a Megan driven celebrity bash. A small party would

143
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>be followed by a relaxing weekend in the mountains. We'll

144
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.120
<v Speaker 1>see and they have it. If you'd like to email
