00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I

2
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:16.719
<v Speaker 1>am your host, Mark Francis. Megan, Duchess of Sussex did

3
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>what any semi royal podcaster does and has opened an

9
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>She's disclosed. Megan will earn commission up to thirty percent

10
00:00:41.359 --> 00:00:44.719
<v Speaker 1>on certain purchases made through the links she's shared. At

11
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:46.679
<v Speaker 1>this point, the cooking show host is one step away

12
00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>from selling things on eBay. Described by Meghan as a

13
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>handpicked and curated collection of the things I love. The

14
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:58.240
<v Speaker 1>edit reflects her enduring West Coast style, relaxed tailoring, neutral tones,

15
00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>and upscale high street brands that sound you hear is

16
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth rolling over in her grave. The Standard did as

17
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.079
<v Speaker 1>a favor and took a look at the items you

18
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 1>can buy at Meghan's online store for those hoping to

19
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:11.879
<v Speaker 1>dress like Meghan without the budget of a duchess. Here

41
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 1>the rest of us channel a bit of that Sussex

42
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:41.680
<v Speaker 1>style one chambre shirt time. In a move that underscores

43
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>the sharp contrast between royal households when it comes to

44
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>mixing public duty and private enterprise. Sweden's Princess Madeline has

45
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 1>announced a launch of a new skincare brand without her

46
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.639
<v Speaker 1>royal title. The youngest child of King Carl the sixteenth

47
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Gustaf and Queen Sylvia shared the news on Instagram, revealing

48
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 1>that the line of Sloped, in partnership with Swiss Skincare

49
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 1>Company will later will launch at the end of summer.

50
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 1>As this is a private initiative, she wrote, I will

51
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.520
<v Speaker 1>use my name Madeleine Bernadotte in my work with min Len.

52
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>The Swedish Royal Court swiftly followed with a formal statement

53
00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>clarifying the arrangement. The decision to start the company has

54
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>been made in dialogue with the Royal Court. The Office

55
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 1>of the Marshal of the Realm has assessed that this

56
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>private business activity can be combined with Princess Madeleine's position

57
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>as Royal Highness. However, the Court also emphasized that the

58
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 1>venture is not connected to the Princess's position in the

59
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Royal House, hence the use of her non royal name

60
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 1>in business dealings. There is no word of Meghan Sussex

61
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>has any opinion about the court's decision. US Weekly wondered

62
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>about the question ken Meghan ever win Isabelle Mohan writes,

63
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.439
<v Speaker 1>in a sense, she's got what she wanted, a picture

64
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>perfect life with an actual prince, So why can't she

65
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>just relax and enjoy it instead of trying so hard? Yet,

66
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>we're okay with stars like Kim kar Dashian and Jennifer

67
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Lopez being global brands, taking all our money and dominating

68
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>the cultural consciousness, often by monetizing their relationships. So often

69
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>by monetizing their relationships, So why not? Megan Meredith Mainz,

70
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>this week's CEO for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex

71
00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>tells us Megan is embarking on a number of business

72
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.879
<v Speaker 1>ventures as an entrepreneur and working mum. The constant scrutiny

73
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>is motivated by clickbait and systems that make sport out

74
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 1>of attacking women. I hope that readers pause and ask

75
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:28.879
<v Speaker 1>why publications are so interested in clicks at the expense

76
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:31.639
<v Speaker 1>of a founder, a woman, a mom who is creating

77
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and building. As Megan deploys her brand show and podcast,

78
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:37.560
<v Speaker 1>We're looking forward to partnering with outlets that want to

79
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.519
<v Speaker 1>understand the business story and the power of brand building

80
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.720
<v Speaker 1>by a founder, Mohann reminds us. Right in the midst

81
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>of researching this story, yet another press release dropped. Megan

82
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.319
<v Speaker 1>is launching a new podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder. Yep,

83
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:54.519
<v Speaker 1>while everyone's still busy dissecting her bee keeping skills, she's

84
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 1>already onto the next venture, saying she's so proud of

85
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>what we're creating in the candid conversations that I'm able

86
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.600
<v Speaker 1>to have with other female founders as we unpack the

87
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:06.040
<v Speaker 1>twists and turns of building a business, and what a

88
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of twists and turns there have been. There was

89
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.279
<v Speaker 1>the charitable foundation, Archwell, It's audio offshoots, a children's book,

90
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and then the lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard, which was

91
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:19.439
<v Speaker 1>wisely renamed the more Palatable as Ever Cleaning. Megan sees

92
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>herself as a lifestyle guro, a little Winneth, a little

93
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Martha with a big Royal spin. Pr expert Evan Nieman

94
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:29.839
<v Speaker 1>chimes in, Megan has always been great at launching new ventures,

95
00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.439
<v Speaker 1>but a problem is sustaining them. When a project is

96
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>meant to be a reinvention but ends up reinforcing the

97
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:40.040
<v Speaker 1>same old criticisms, it's a major misstep. Publicist Jane Owen adds,

98
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>she made the mistake that has always gone down badly

99
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.240
<v Speaker 1>with the general public. She complained about her massive privilege, yes,

100
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>being Richard famous as a burden, but the people struggling

101
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.160
<v Speaker 1>that buy eggs don't want to hear about it. She

102
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>also needs to acknowledge that she now sits in a

103
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.319
<v Speaker 1>place of privilege and wealth that is far beyond the

104
00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:59.360
<v Speaker 1>target audience she's hoping to reach. We'll step in to

105
00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>observe the Cape and William seems to have figured the

106
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>media game out in a way Megan never has. While

107
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>they are the future King and Queen, and by no

108
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 1>means poor. Their media coverage has become one of Will's

109
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:12.959
<v Speaker 1>hanging out at a soccer gain or Kate taking in

110
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.759
<v Speaker 1>a pint of guinness at the pub. They feed the

111
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:20.160
<v Speaker 1>media and then go home to their castles. Palace Indrigue

112
00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:25.079
<v Speaker 1>will be right back. If you're a comedy fan, you

130
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.399
<v Speaker 1>Slash plus the tragic death of Diana in nineteen ninety

131
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 1>seven car crash continues to raise difficult questions more than

132
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>a quarter century on, chief among them why none of

133
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.279
<v Speaker 1>the occupants in the vehicle, including Diana herself, were wearing

134
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>seat belts at the time. Investigations later concluded that the

135
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>chances of survival for at least some of those in

136
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:38.759
<v Speaker 1>the car could have been as high as eighty percent

137
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:43.319
<v Speaker 1>had they been properly buckled. Now, a British security expert

138
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.199
<v Speaker 1>has offered insight into why seat belt uses not always

139
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.879
<v Speaker 1>observed by members of the royal family. Speaking to The

140
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:52.759
<v Speaker 1>Daily Mail, security consultant Michael Chandler explained that in some cases,

141
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>not wearing a seat belt as a matter of protocol

142
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:59.399
<v Speaker 1>and practicality. Channeler explains, as you might imagine, there's concerns

143
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.319
<v Speaker 1>about extrac a principle from a vehicle. As quickly as possible,

144
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:04.879
<v Speaker 1>there'll be a risk assessment, the outcome of which will

145
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:08.480
<v Speaker 1>determine whether or not there needs to be extra precautions.

146
00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:12.079
<v Speaker 1>Beyond security considerations, the issue of comfort and presentation also

147
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:15.439
<v Speaker 1>plays a part. Royals are frequently seen attending events in

148
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.959
<v Speaker 1>military uniforms or formal attire, and seat belts can cause

149
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:23.879
<v Speaker 1>wrinkling or dishevel clothing Before high profile appearances. If they're

150
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:25.720
<v Speaker 1>in and out of a vehicle, Royals will be less

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:32.080

<v Speaker 1>the Royals are not universally seat belt averse. They do

<v Speaker 1>actually wear seat belts, probably much more than people realize.
