00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Caloroga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I

2
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:15.439
<v Speaker 1>am your host Mark for Answers. Well, it's been a

3
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:17.839
<v Speaker 1>couple of days since we've talked about Megan, so let's

4
00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>jump in and see if anything is happening in the

5
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:23.359
<v Speaker 1>world of our favorite Duchess. The release of the trailer

6
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>for With Love Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex's upcoming Netflix series,

7
00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>has generated a striking contrast in public responses across different

8
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:35.679
<v Speaker 1>social media platforms. While the Duchess chose to disable comments

9
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:40.520
<v Speaker 1>on her personal Instagram account, Netflix's YouTube posting of the

10
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:44.399
<v Speaker 1>trailer has attracted over thirty three thousand comments, revealing a

11
00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:48.840
<v Speaker 1>notably divided reaction to the eight episode cooking series. The

12
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 1>YouTube comments section has become particularly notable for its critical tone.

13
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Among the responses, viewers have taken a satirical approach to

14
00:00:55.880 --> 00:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>the show's premise. Made oatmeal buns this morning and elevated

15
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.039
<v Speaker 1>them with herbs. I also put extra ginger into my

16
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:08.959
<v Speaker 1>husband's tea. Netflix, here I come, wrote one commenter. Another quipped, Hey, Netflix,

17
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.719
<v Speaker 1>can I have a contract? I made toast today whilst

18
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>pursuing joy and elevated it with butter just being my

19
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>authentic self. The volume of responses prompted one viewer to

20
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>observe they should make a show on this comment section,

21
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 1>while another sarcastically noted that scene with the ice scoop,

22
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 1>so talented, so brave. However, the response on Netflix's Instagram

23
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>platform presents a markedly different tone, with supporters offering enthusiastic

24
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.359
<v Speaker 1>anticipation for the series. This looks fabulous. Can't wait to watch,

25
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.439
<v Speaker 1>wrote one fan. Another commented, I think Megan is such

26
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.079
<v Speaker 1>a blessing to Harry's life. Diana would have loved her.

27
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:47.799
<v Speaker 1>I cannot wait to watch this. The supportive messages included

28
00:01:47.799 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 1>simple expressions of approval, such as love this for her.

29
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.439
<v Speaker 1>The eight episode series, which features the Dutchess cooking alongside

30
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:58.040
<v Speaker 1>celebrity friends, as scheduled two, premiere on Netflix January fifteenth.

31
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Amid this backdrop of contrast public sentiment, British philosopher Kathleen Stark,

32
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 1>writing for The Times As questioned the authenticity of the production,

33
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>describing it as ruthless control freakery about every aspect of

34
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>self presentation while purporting to be natural, candid and real.

35
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>Stock's critique extends to the show's foxy food content, and

36
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>even Prince Harry's appearance, which she characterized as a well practiced,

37
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 1>spontaneous looking curdle. However, cast member Mindy Kayling has offered

38
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>a markedly different perspective, revealing that the Golden Globes how

39
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.719
<v Speaker 1>the project came about through a thoughtful gesture from the Duchess.

40
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 1>I was just in my maternity leave and Meghan texted

41
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:37.240
<v Speaker 1>me and said, Hey, do you want to be in

42
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>my show and come to Montecito and have me cook

43
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>for you, Kaling recalled, adding that Megan, unsurprisingly kind of

44
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:45.759
<v Speaker 1>blew me out of the water. She has a garden

45
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 1>and a garden from scratch, which I could never do,

46
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:52.159
<v Speaker 1>and chickens. Kaling also noted Prince Harry's presence during the filming,

47
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.919
<v Speaker 1>though he remained off camera. Harry was there, but he

48
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.199
<v Speaker 1>didn't cook for me. I heard he's a pretty good cook.

49
00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>He knows his way around the kitchen. Supporters also come

50
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>from Meghan's former Suits co star Abigail Spencer, who shared

51
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>her enthusiasm on Instagram. She's magic, love you so at Megan.

52
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>The show was filmed in a rented Montecito mansion near

53
00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.319
<v Speaker 1>the Sussex's home, a detail that Stock included in her

54
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>broader critique of what she views as carefully managed authenticity.

55
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Referencing Meghan's beach video posted just before the trailer release,

56
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Stock observed Prussian military maneuvers have looked less planned, but

57
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.599
<v Speaker 1>don't feel too bad for Meghan, as the Duke and

58
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Duchess of Sussex's Montecito estate has seen a remarkable increase

59
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:36.159
<v Speaker 1>in value since their twenty twenty purchase. The nine bedroom

60
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 1>property acquired for eleven point six million pounds is now

61
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 1>estimated by Zillo to be worth twenty three million pounds

62
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.159
<v Speaker 1>or about twenty nine million dollars, representing a one hundred

63
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>and ten percent appreciation. This value increase significantly outpaces the

64
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.639
<v Speaker 1>broader Montecito market, where medium home prices have risen by

65
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:56.319
<v Speaker 1>forty seven percent during the same period. The eighteen thousand

66
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.120
<v Speaker 1>square foot of states exceptional appreciation has caught the attention

67
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>of real estate experts. Hannah Jones, senior economic research analyst

68
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.560
<v Speaker 1>for realta dot Com, notes the unusual nature of this growth.

69
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Even in demand Montecito, a home doubling in value since

70
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.879
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty is not typical Charlie Langston, executive editor at Realta,

71
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 1>suggests the area's growing celebrity presence, including residents like Oprah

72
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Winfrey and Katie Perry, has enhanced its desirability. The release

73
00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:27.319
<v Speaker 1>of Meghan's new Netflix series will undoubtedly only increase interest

74
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 1>in the couple's home life, despite the fact that it

75
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 1>wasn't actually filmed inside the couple's marital mansion, Langston told Newsweek.

76
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>Montecito itself has cemented its place on the map as

77
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:41.319
<v Speaker 1>one of California's most sought after celebrity enclaves. The property,

78
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>home to Prince Harry, Meghan and their children, Archie five

79
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 1>and lilib three, features amenities including a pool, large garden,

80
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>spacious kitchen, home office in various living spaces. According to neighbours,

81
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>the family maintains a low profile, primarily visible during school

82
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>runs or dog walks. Pellacentrica be back in a Moment.

83
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 1>Mike Tindall has emerged as a significant figure in Prince

84
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>William's in a circle, with royal sources suggesting their relationship

85
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.800
<v Speaker 1>has evolved into a brotherly bond. The former rugby star,

86
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:15.920
<v Speaker 1>married to William's cousin Zara, has reportedly stepped into a

87
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 1>more prominent supportive role since Prince Harry's departure from royal duties.

88
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:23.120
<v Speaker 1>In twenty twenty, a royal insider speaking to Women's Day

89
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 1>magazine highlighted the depth of their connection. Mike's become a

90
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>key figure in Williams's inner world and someone he can

91
00:05:29.240 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 1>always rely on. The source emphasized William's appreciation, noting this

92
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.439
<v Speaker 1>no doubt Wills sees him as a brother he lost,

93
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.879
<v Speaker 1>He's proven how loyal he is, and Wills knows Mike

94
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:40.319
<v Speaker 1>has his back. He's so grateful to have him by

95
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>his side. The informal nature of their relationship was recently

96
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>illustrated during Mike's appearance on Rob Burrow's podcast, where he

97
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:49.759
<v Speaker 1>revealed his playful nickname for the Prince of Wales. The

98
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Prince of Wales has known to me as one point Willie,

99
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>because he's not the best of drinkers, Tindall disclosed, quickly adding,

100
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, it's out there now, sorry, sir. Beyond

101
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>his relationship with William, Tindall's also badly focused on developing

102
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.839
<v Speaker 1>a meaningful connection with Prince George, suggesting a broader integration

103
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>into the Wales family. Dynamic. A new analysis by Outdoor

104
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:12.319
<v Speaker 1>Toys reveals that the Whales children rank among the world's

105
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 1>wealthiest young people, with Princess Charlotte leading the global list

106
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.439
<v Speaker 1>at an estimated net worth of three point nine billion pounds.

107
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Her brothers, Prince George and Prince Lluid also feature prominently

108
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:27.519
<v Speaker 1>with substantial valuations. Charlotte's remarkable wealth estimate, which places her

109
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 1>above celebrity children like Blue Ivy Carter in Northwest, is

110
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:34.160
<v Speaker 1>attributed partially to the Kate Effect, her mother's influence on

111
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:37.480
<v Speaker 1>public interest and commercial impact. The nine year old princess

112
00:06:37.519 --> 00:06:40.879
<v Speaker 1>stands to inherit significant assets, including the historic Spencer tiara

113
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:43.920
<v Speaker 1>worn by her grandmother, Princess Diana at her nineteen eighty

114
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>one wedding, and potentially Diana's sapphire engagement ring currently worn

115
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:51.120
<v Speaker 1>by the Princess of Wales. Prince George, despite being second

116
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 1>in line to the throne, ranks second on the wealth

117
00:06:53.879 --> 00:06:57.120
<v Speaker 1>list with an estimated worth of two point eight billion pounds.

118
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 1>His future inheritance includes the Duchy of Cornwall, a vast

119
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 1>private estate valued over one billion pounds that generates annual

120
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:08.319
<v Speaker 1>income of twenty one million pounds. Upon William's assassion, George

121
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:11.399
<v Speaker 1>will become eligible for numerous titles, including Duke of Cornwall,

122
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Earl Chester, Duke of Rothsay, Earl of Carreck, Baron of Renfrew,

123
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Lord of the Isles, and Prince and Great Stewart of Scotland.

124
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Six year old Prince Louis ranks ninth globally with an

125
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>estimated ninety eight million pounds net worth. His potential future

126
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:27.839
<v Speaker 1>includes the possibility of inheriting the Duke of York title

127
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.639
<v Speaker 1>once his father becomes king, following the tradition of royal

128
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>dukedoms passing to male heirs. The global wealth rankings place

129
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:40.639
<v Speaker 1>the Whales children among diverse company. Others include Rizza Athereston

130
00:07:40.839 --> 00:07:43.720
<v Speaker 1>Meyers nine hundred and forty three million pounds, the son

131
