00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Calorogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas Intrigue. I'm

2
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:17.000
<v Speaker 1>your host, Mark Francis. Reports of a falling out between

3
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:20.399
<v Speaker 1>the Duke of Sussex and his cousin, Princess Eugenie have

4
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:24.280
<v Speaker 1>been firmly denied following claims made by broadcaster to Piers

5
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Morgan on a recent episode of his program Uncensored. Mister

6
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Morgan suggested Prince Harry had gone completely ballistic after Eugenie

7
00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:37.439
<v Speaker 1>was seen socializing with him at a London pub. According

8
00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>to mister Morgan, the Duke took issue with the princess

9
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.759
<v Speaker 1>being photographed embracing the journalist, who had been a relentless

10
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.439
<v Speaker 1>critic of both Harry and Megan Michael. Mister Morgan told

11
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>viewers she was outing lunch with me and a group

12
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>of people in a pub in London that was seen

13
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>hugging them goodbye, and Harry saw this and went completely ballistic.

14
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.359
<v Speaker 1>I can confirm that this is entirely true because he

15
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>couldn't bear it. However, a source close to the Sussexes

16
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>told People magazine that such claims are categorically untrue. The

17
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Duke remains close to Princess Eugenie. They always have and

18
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 1>always will be. The insider stated. While Prince Harry's ties

19
00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 1>with some members of his family have grown strained in

20
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 1>recent years, his connection with Princess Eugenie and Beatrice is

21
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.879
<v Speaker 1>understood to have remained intact. Rumors of a rift, it seems,

22
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:27.480
<v Speaker 1>are more bluster than truth. One of those strained relationships

23
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>is with Prince William, that once tight fraternal bond began

24
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.359
<v Speaker 1>to quietly frey, not with mexit, but much earlier, according

25
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>to royal author Tina Brown in the Palace Papers Inside

26
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.439
<v Speaker 1>the House of windsor The Truth and the Turmoil, Brown

27
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 1>quotes a former aide who claims the brother's relationship hadn't

28
00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.879
<v Speaker 1>been the same since William married Kate. While the two

29
00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 1>princes continued to live side by side at Kensington Palace

30
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 1>and shared both an office and regular social time, Brown

31
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 1>writes that Harry privately mourned his us against the world

32
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 1>bond with William. William settled into his married life where

33
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the now Princess of Wales. Brown suggests Harry felt edged

34
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 1>out of the equation. Harry felt displaced by their bougie

35
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>family unit and couldn't understand his brother's obsession with his

36
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.039
<v Speaker 1>Middleton in laws, she writes, adding that the Middleton's lifestyle

37
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>bored harritage tears. The author paints a portrait of Prince

38
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>William fully embracing country life, often found tramping the grounds

39
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.319
<v Speaker 1>of Anmer Hall, the Norfolk home gifted to him by

40
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:30.159
<v Speaker 1>the late Queen Elizabeth, in a flat cap and tweed

41
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>jacket like his turnip top Norfolk farmer friends. As William

42
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>grew into his role as future King, Brown asserts he

43
00:02:37.560 --> 00:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>became less tolerant of his younger brother's wild child ways.

44
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.439
<v Speaker 1>He was less amused than the British public by either

45
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>the strip Billiard's tobaccle in Las Vegas or Harry's ceaseless

46
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:52.520
<v Speaker 1>boozy nightclub forays with his rowdy friends. His younger brother's

47
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 1>recklessness exasperated him. Prince William plans to get some work

48
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 1>in between vacations, no exactly, Princess ann when it comes

49
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to the royal docket. Will is set to resume public

50
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.080
<v Speaker 1>engagements next week following the Easter break, where a visit

51
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to a youth focused charity in South London. However, the

52
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Princess of Wales will not be accompanying him as she

53
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>continues her private recovery. On April twenty fourth, Prince William

54
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>will visit Mentivity, an organization dedicated to empowering young people

55
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>through mentorship, educational support and safe spaces. During his visit,

56
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:32.159
<v Speaker 1>the Principal participate in a roundtable discussion on youth employment

57
00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>and apprenticeships, listening to young people share both their aspirations

58
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.759
<v Speaker 1>and the challenges they face entering the workforce, and, perhaps

59
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>more importantly, feed the media with some new photos of

60
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.680
<v Speaker 1>Wills being cool and looking cool so nobody asks questions

61
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.599
<v Speaker 1>about his vacation schedule. Between photo ops, Harry take notes

62
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 1>on how to do this. As Prince Harry continues his

63
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 1>legal battle over UK security protections, those close to the

64
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Duke of Sussex believed King Charles is keeping his distance

65
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.879
<v Speaker 1>into intentionally. The legal battle puts Harry in direct contact

66
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>with the people who are carrying out the king's orders.

67
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.599
<v Speaker 1>Royal biographer Sally Biddell Smith told people if his father

68
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>was to say something even seemingly innocuous, it could end

69
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.319
<v Speaker 1>up landing in the middle of the court case. Others

70
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.959
<v Speaker 1>with close ties to the palace suggest the estrangement could

71
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.560
<v Speaker 1>be navigated more carefully, with a source saying a distinction

72
00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>between personal life and official duties could be made, but

73
00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>things have been februal for a while. In the Daily Mail,

74
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Liz Jones says not to blame Harry for the frosty

75
00:04:35.079 --> 00:04:38.439
<v Speaker 1>relationship with the King. Jones rights part of the reason

76
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:43.279
<v Speaker 1>for charles coldness towards Harry is Harry's current unedifying fight

77
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.439
<v Speaker 1>in the courts for his UK security to be upgraded.

78
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.639
<v Speaker 1>His own privately funded bodyguards are not allowed to be

79
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:53.079
<v Speaker 1>armed when here Why with this angered Charles? Yes, his

80
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:56.000
<v Speaker 1>state visit to Italy was pushed off the front pages

81
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 1>last week by images of his sons striding warriorlike and

82
00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>painfully lonely into court. But it seems odd for the

83
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.040
<v Speaker 1>King to object to his son's claim because if he wins,

84
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.959
<v Speaker 1>Harry has indicated he and his family would visit Britain

85
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:12.399
<v Speaker 1>more often than his father would welcome that the King

86
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 1>has been trained to be a diplomat since birth to

87
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>set an example, Yet it seems he cannot extend a

88
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 1>hand of friendship to his son. Is he worried that

89
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.360
<v Speaker 1>a note or a kind word will make it into

90
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:27.279
<v Speaker 1>the public sphere via his liquacious second born. Perhaps, but

91
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>surely a photo opportunity showing a hug a handshake would

92
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 1>speak volumes. There is no hand of friendship being extended

93
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.199
<v Speaker 1>by William either. If he can forgive his father's historic indiscretions.

94
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>In nineteen ninety four, he confessed to infidelity in a

95
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.199
<v Speaker 1>televised interview with Jonathan Dimbleby, surely he can forgive his

96
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.759
<v Speaker 1>brother for that Oprah interview. In writing a memoir, however candid,

97
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:51.639
<v Speaker 1>does he fear his and Kate's life will be made

98
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a living hell, that the Wayales's family will be overshadowed

99
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:57.959
<v Speaker 1>by the Sussexes. I think the latter. He must realize

100
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.600
<v Speaker 1>that high profile visits from Harry and Meghan Archie and

101
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>lullabit in tow would enliven our interest and affection for

102
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:07.360
<v Speaker 1>the royal family. It would certainly be more fascinating, glamorous

103
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 1>and fun than being drip fed badly shot photos of

104
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Kate in a baker boy cap talking to scouts on

105
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:17.319
<v Speaker 1>a wind swept hillside. Brand expert Nick E tells the

106
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:20.439
<v Speaker 1>son Meghan hasn't really earned her stripes yet. She's not

107
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.079
<v Speaker 1>the fashionista yet, she's not the cook yet, She's not

108
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:27.759
<v Speaker 1>the makeup expert yet. Nothing feels particularly rounded in actual knowledge,

109
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>so people begin to turn off. We've been on this

110
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:32.759
<v Speaker 1>journey with Harry and Meghan, but when we get to

111
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.079
<v Speaker 1>the crux of it, it never goes anywhere. Everything feels

112
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:40.600
<v Speaker 1>like a scatter gun approach. Nothing seems thought out or strategized.

113
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>She and Harry seem to think, yes, I'll take the

114
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>money and work out what to do afterwards. More palace

115
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>in just a moment. The Princess Royal was reportedly left

116
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 1>surprised upon learning that a leading female athlete had to

117
00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:58.920
<v Speaker 1>can pain for the right to wear shorts while playing

118
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:04.160
<v Speaker 1>her sport. Wednesday's investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, Princess Anne,

119
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the possible former Royal sex bomb, presented England hockey player

120
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>Tess Howard with an MB. Miss Howard, part of the

121
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Commonwealth Games gold medal winning squad in twenty twenty two,

122
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.839
<v Speaker 1>was honored not only for her achievements on the pitch,

123
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:22.319
<v Speaker 1>but her advocacy around inclusive sportswear for women and girls.

124
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Speaking after the ceremony, Miss Howard said, if I had

125
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.839
<v Speaker 1>an organization like inclusive Sportswear, I wouldn't have had to

126
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.279
<v Speaker 1>campaign for years to wear shorts in hockey, which is bizarre.

127
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:35.000
<v Speaker 1>She added, The Princess Royal was surprised that I had

128
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:37.879
<v Speaker 1>to campaign to wear shorts. It's silly when you say

129
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.759
<v Speaker 1>it out loud. The twenty four year old athlete, who

130
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>plays for East Grinstead Hockey Club, founded the group Inclusive

131
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Sportswear in twenty twenty three to challenge barriers in sport

132
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:51.639
<v Speaker 1>and promote more flexible, comfortable kit options for all athletes,

133
00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>regardless of gender. Reflecting on the recognition, she remarked, it's

134
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:58.600
<v Speaker 1>quite ridiculous that I've been given an award essentially for

135
00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:02.720
<v Speaker 1>campaigning to wear shorts. In twenty twenty three, the International

136
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.439
<v Speaker 1>Hockey Federation updated its rules to allow female players the

137
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:10.800
<v Speaker 1>option to wear shorts, skirts or sports provided the match

138
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.879
<v Speaker 1>in color and design, but Miss Howard says that the

139
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>change is only the beginning and that her organization will

140
00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:21.079
<v Speaker 1>continue pushing for greater inclusivity across all levels of sport.

141
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Princess Anne, a longtime supporter of British athletics and a

142
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.839
<v Speaker 1>former Olympian herself, has not commented publicly, but is understood

143
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.879
<v Speaker 1>to have taken a keen interest in the matter. During
