Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media, Hello and welcome through Pallace Intrigue and
Speaker 1: host Francis. The Daily Beast shared that Prince William reportedly
Speaker 1: has no interest in restoring contact with his brother, despite
Speaker 1: a recent social media birthday message. According to friends of
Speaker 1: William and Kate, William remains focused on his family, especially
Speaker 1: given Kate's cancer diagnosis and fills. There is no room
Speaker 1: for reconciliation with Harry at the moment, a source told
Speaker 1: The Daily Beast. He regards what Harry said in his
Speaker 1: book as unforgivable. There isn't space for a complicated reconciliation
Speaker 1: process with Harry. It's not a priority. The messages, according
Speaker 1: to another source, were sent to align with King Charles,
Speaker 1: who also wished Harry a happy birthday. Is a routine gesture.
Speaker 1: The friend of the royal couple added, it makes sense
Speaker 1: for Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace to align themselves on
Speaker 1: a little bit of essentially routine messaging around Harry. It
Speaker 1: shows William is willing to respect his father's seniority and
Speaker 1: do what is asked of him. Although the birthday wishes
Speaker 1: briefly ignited hopes of a potential reconciliation. The response from
Speaker 1: royal sources suggests otherwise, as one insider remarked, it was
Speaker 1: just a company thing. Happy birthday, blah blah blah. A
Speaker 1: friend of the King summed up the situation by saying,
Speaker 1: the King has made it very clear that he loves
Speaker 1: Harry and wants to be part of his and his
Speaker 1: family's life. Publicly wishing him a happy fortieth birthday is
Speaker 1: completely of a peace with that ambition. On the Daily
Speaker 1: Mail's Palace Confidential Show, Royal editor Rebecca English says Charles
Speaker 1: is angry and he is hurt, but he is still
Speaker 1: his son at the end of the day, which is
Speaker 1: why it's always been said, as much as he is
Speaker 1: keeping distance at the moment, he will never entirely shut
Speaker 1: that door to him. One thing I did find out
Speaker 1: is how really disappointed the King was back in November
Speaker 1: when Harry did call him to Wisham not just a
Speaker 1: happy seventy fifth birthday, but also his children did a
Speaker 1: little video singing happy birthday to the grandpa they've barely
Speaker 1: even seen. And within hours of that happening, that was
Speaker 1: leaked from the Sussex side to favored media, and that
Speaker 1: really crossed the line in the sand for the royal
Speaker 1: family because so very little of their lives is genuinely private,
Speaker 1: so much as lived in public or even surrounded by
Speaker 1: staff watching everything they do, so private conversations, particularly private
Speaker 1: phone calls, are really considered just that. The idea that
Speaker 1: Prince Harry and Prince William were always close is a myth,
Speaker 1: according to royal expert and biographer Ingrid Seward. Seward explained
Speaker 1: that while many believe the brothers had a strong bond
Speaker 1: from a young age, they actually grew closer after the
Speaker 1: death of their mother, Princess Diana in nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 1: I remember after William went on his gap year way
Speaker 1: back on Operation Rally, Harry said he's much nicer now.
Speaker 1: So this myth that Harry and William were very close
Speaker 1: is a myth. Seward told the Son's Royal Exclusive. They
Speaker 1: were only really close after their mother died. Of course,
Speaker 1: they unified and they were the only two people that
Speaker 1: knew what it felt like, But they weren't very close
Speaker 1: as youngsters. Suard also recalled that Diana expressed concerns for Harry,
Speaker 1: revealing we talked about it quite a lot. She said,
Speaker 1: I worry for Harry, and I'm really really careful that
Speaker 1: he's not treated differently than William. The expert recounted how
Speaker 1: Diana noticed differences in the way Harry and William were treated,
Speaker 1: saying when they used to go and see the Queen Mother,
Speaker 1: she would pat the chair and say come and sit here,
Speaker 1: William and completely ignore Harry, and that really upset Diana.
Speaker 1: Sue had added that Diana was particularly worried about Harry's future, stating,
Speaker 1: I think she worried much more for Harry because she
Speaker 1: just wasn't sure which way he was going to go.
Speaker 1: William has offered a heartfelt message to support of Lindsay Burrow,
Speaker 1: the widow of rugby league legend Rob Burrow, following his
Speaker 1: passing in June at the age of forty one, Rob,
Speaker 1: who courageously battled motor neuron disease, left behind a legacy
Speaker 1: of resilience and inspiration. In a tweet shared by the
Speaker 1: at Rob seven Burrow Atcount Lindsay announced the upcoming release
Speaker 1: of her memoir titled Take Care, A Memoir of Love,
Speaker 1: Family and Never Giving Up, schedule for February twenty seventh,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. The book, which tells their Famili's powerful
Speaker 1: story will also feature a forward written by Prince William,
Speaker 1: a tribute that highlights the Prince's deep connection to the
Speaker 1: family and their story. Following Rob's death earlier this year,
Speaker 1: Kensington Palace's Twitter account posted a legend of rugby league.
Speaker 1: Rob Burrow had a huge heart. He taught us. In
Speaker 1: a world full of adversity, we must dare to dream.
Speaker 1: King Charles has expressed a deep sorrow in response to
Speaker 1: the devastating flooding that has struck Central Europe. In a
Speaker 1: heartfelt statement shared on social media, His Majesty conveyed his
Speaker 1: shock and sadness, acknowledging the destruction caused by the catastrophic floods.
Speaker 1: My wife and I are profoundly shocked and sad and
Speaker 1: to see the destruction and devastation caused by the catastrophic
Speaker 1: flooding in Central Europe. Charles began noting these strong tires
Speaker 1: many in the UK share with the affected regions. He
Speaker 1: extended his deepest and most heartfelt condolences to those who
Speaker 1: have tragically lost loved ones, homes and livelihoods. The Monarch
Speaker 1: also praised the bravery of emergency services, commending their tireless
Speaker 1: efforts in providing relief and support to those whose lives
Speaker 1: have been disrupted by the disaster. Palacindric will be right back. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: in Norway, Crown Princess met Maried's son Marius borg Hoebi,
Speaker 1: is facing intense public scrutiny after a series of legal
Speaker 1: issues stemming from a night of alleged alcohol and drug abuse.
Speaker 1: Helby the oldest son of Norwegian Crown Princess. Was first
Speaker 1: arrested on August's fourth charge with violence, threats and vandalism.
Speaker 1: Since then, further allegations have surfaced, including death threats, harassment,
Speaker 1: and violating a restraining order. In a statement shared through
Speaker 1: his lawyer with Norwegian media outlet and Arca, Hoiby admitted
Speaker 1: to long standing struggles with mental health and substance abuse.
Speaker 1: He expressed remorse, acknowledging that he was responsible for what
Speaker 1: he had done and intended to cooperate with the police.
Speaker 1: He revealed that his actions occurred under the influence of
Speaker 1: alcohol and cocaine, resulting in bodily harm and property damage.
Speaker 1: The Oslo police are investigating multiple allegations from fort victims,
Speaker 1: including two ex girlfriends who have accused him of abuse
Speaker 1: in close relationships. Hoibi is also facing charges for reckless
Speaker 1: behavior and additional cases of bodily harm. He spent thirty
Speaker 1: hours in police custody after the initial incident, during which
Speaker 1: reports suggest a knife was found lodged in the wall
Speaker 1: of an apartment. Houeibi, no stranger to controversy, stepped away
Speaker 1: from royal duties at age twenty after several scandals. His mother,
Speaker 1: Crown Princess matt Marie, is reportedly staying close to her
Speaker 1: son during this time, foregoing public appearances. The Norwegian royal
Speaker 1: family has yet to delve into the details, with Crown
Speaker 1: Prince Harken acknowledging the seriousness of the situation but remaining reserved.
Speaker 1: Experts note that this level of scandal is highly unusual
Speaker 1: for any royal family, as the case in folds. Legal
Speaker 1: professionals have indicated that if the behavior continues, stricter measures
Speaker 1: such as remand could become necessary, and they have it.
