Episode description

Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright & Emily Vernem on our subscriber-only episode.  You can listen to the full conversation: “Emotional Blackmail” An Update On Harry’s Visit Home

The royal reunion we've all been following might not happen after all.

Prince Harry and Meghan were reportedly planning to bring the kids to the UK for the first time in four years, but now the trip is in doubt after Harry's request for police protection was denied. Is this the latest chapter in the royal rift, or a completely reasonable decision from parents trying to protect their children?

Plus, Alex Cooper has finally responded to the allegations surrounding her media company, Unwell. It raises a familiar question: when the controversy centres on a man, why does the woman so often end up carrying the public fallout?

And Mia Freedman has some hard-earned advice for Alex about surviving life as a woman running a media company.

You're listening to another mere podcast without the protection. Is it kind of a given that he's definitely not going to know he will go, but he probably he might not bring Meghan and kids, although now he's saying he probably will, so it's still in the air. But this is the point, and so a more generous take on why the chaos. It's just that they've got bad advice and they can't decide what they want. So Tina Brown

makes this really good point about Harry. What is genuinely sad is Harry's belated discovery that the one thing he does really well is what he was born to do and rejected. So he's actually very very good at being a prince, she writes, Unlike Meghan, he doesn't really want to be a Hollywood hot shot or an amorphous influencer in designer clothes, as one of his ex employees told me. He just wants to do public service and be paid for it, which in essence is the definition of a

member of the monarchy. That's what royals do. They get money and comfort and pay and get to live in a nice house in return for public service. Go open the hospital, Go champion this cause, Go represent Britain at this event. That is what royals do. And it's like her point, and I think it's true, is that Harry is very good at that. When they were here. Another thing that was Mide and chaos around Megan's event in Kuji at the Hotel Mide and KOs will it, won't

it happen? Did it sell? Didn't it sell? Will media get in? Won't they get in? Chaos? Chaos, chaos again when they're here and they're actually out and doing the things, they're so good at it, but it's almost like if you can't settle on what you want and what the parameters of it are and then get the right people in the right advice and the rights, then you're just throwing shit at the walls and seeing that I really want them to go because I just think it's going to be excellent
