Hello and welcome to Pallace Intrigue. I am your host. Mark Francis, the Hollywood Reporter, writes, looks like Harry and Meghan have done it again. They've chewed
up yet another American advisor. Josh Kettler, the Santa Barbara based consultant who had been serving as chief of staff to the Duke and Duchess, reportedly resigned in August after just three months on the job, becoming the latest member of the ever expanding Sussex Survivors Club, as some former employees have taken to calling themselves. A source close to the couple tells Thhr everybody's terrified of Megan. She belittles people, she doesn't take advice to them. Both poor decision makers.
They changed their minds frequently. Harry is a very very charming person, no heirs at all, but he's very much an enabler, and she's just terrible. She's absolutely relentless, says one source. She marches around like a dictator in high heels, fuming and barking orders. I've watched her reduce grown men to tears. Their unsparing portrait of her is in marked contrast with the kinder, gentler image Mirkael has been painting
of herself. In recent years, the former princess has become an ardent admirer of best selling Texas self help author Brene Brown, who urges readers to cultivate gratitude and joy in their lives. While touring Columbia with her husband last month, Mikael said of her new attitude of gratitude that had led her to a chapter of Joy. If you're going to be grateful for your life, you have to be
grateful for all aspects of it, she said. And in a recent episode of her Archetypes podcast, Megan spoke about the challenges she has faced asserting herself and overcoming natural reticence in professional situations. I find myself cowering and tiptoeing into a room. And the thing I find most embarrassing when you're saying a sentence and the intonation goes up like it's a question, and you're like, oh my god, stop like whispering and tiptoeing around it. Just say what
it is that you need. You're allowed to set a boundary. You're allowed to be clear. It doesn't make you demanding, it doesn't make you difficult. It makes you clear. The pr battle between the Sussexes and Wales's continues, with Town and Country getting a thorough account of what happened during Meghan's recent bookstore appearance. Town and Country tells us in
the puff piece. Meghan stood at the front of a new bookstore in the ocean side enclave of Summerland, California, over the weekend and recalled the last time she set foot in a similar spot. It was back in twenty nineteen during a covert trip to New York from the UK to watch her friend Serena Williams playing in the US Open. She stayed for a night in the West Village with another friend, designer Miche Nonu. Before anybody knew Meghan was in town, she went for a walk to
a bookstore. For me, sneaking to New York five years ago was a really big deal, the Dudges said, describing how she put on a cap and kept her head down. I was still so uncomfortable being out in the world, she continued, hinting at that fraught time in her tenure as a working royal. The safety of what I was craving I knew I could find in a bookstore. The DJ took the Evening's soundtrack from Carol King to Chapel Roan.
The party was in full swing when the Sussex's arrived, slipping out of a darkened range rover and into the evening sun splashed its store. Meghan, claddened an ivory Ralph Lauren tank and long trousers with a diamond necklace around her neck, greeted people with kisses to both cheeks, while Harry turned handshakes into backslapping hugs. At the end of the founder's brief remarks, as they thanked Winfrey for her support, Megan held her hand to her mouth and let out
a whoo. The Sussex's then spent an hour deep in several conversations, moving seamlessly from one group to the next. Meghan said, I'm looking at this time as my chapter of joy. The more you are able to look at your life and really truly recognize and be able to be grateful for your life, you have to be grateful for all aspects of it. My intentionality is to enjoy this chapter and be able to love through every piece
of this as best we can. Meghan also thanked the founders for not just creating the space, but for holding the space for so many people to fill seen through the pages, either in laughter and grief in feeling less alone. Prince Hary and Megan Minkel have reportedly been hit with a one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars tax bill for their Montecito mansion. According to recent claims, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex spent around thirteen point seven million
on their seven bedroom home four years ago. Santa Barbara County figures show Harry and Meghan were charged one hundred forty thousand dollars in property taxes for twenty twenty three, paid in two installments. The property tax bill has increased in recent years, leaving the couple with rising costs. Records indicate that in twenty twenty two they faced a one hundred and thirty seven thousand dollars tax bill, while in twenty twenty one the figure was one hundred thirty y
five thousand dollars. According to reports from the sun. As Harry struggles to make ends meet, Megan wore a diamond necklace to the bookstore. According to Royal Style blog Royal Fashioned Police, Megan wore the eighteen carrot for Tuna tennis necklace with diamonds in yellow gold from Logan Hollwell, a
piece that set its square about thirty thousand dollars. Fortunately for Harry, the Queen Mother reportedly set aside approximately twenty three million dollars into a trust fund for her great grandchildren in nineteen ninety four, then equivalent to around two thirds of fortune. It was suggested at the time that Prince William and Prince Harry would receive the inheritance and two installments, one at age twenty one and the other
at forty and tomorrow Harry turns forty. It is understood that the brothers received seven point five million dollars between them at twenty one, and were set to receive a further ten million dollars upon turning forty. Prince William, who turned forty in June twenty twenty two, went on to inherit twenty nine million dollars from the Duchy of Cornwall after becoming the Prince of way when Charles was sent
in the throne. In addition to the inheritance from the queen mother, Harry and William were left around eight million dollars each when their mother Diana passed away in nineteen ninety seven. The sum grew over time through investments, and Harry reportedly inherited around twelve and a half million dollars
when he turned thirty. Palacindri could be right back amusing to us is that something Harry and Meghan's polo video was designed to distract from Kate's video, whereas we feel Kate's video was to distract from a week of talking
about Harry. Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told gb News, I understand why a lot of people do feel that way about the polo video because we have seen Harry and Meghan's one up and ship in the past, like when the Princess's whale was announced, she'd attended trooping the Color and one of Meghan's friends uploaded her dog biscuits on social media. There are definite examples where it feels like
Harry and Meghan are trying to steal the spotlight. It's unfortunate, it's especially unfortunate when this is such a beautiful video. Royal fans were quick to notice a surprising detail in Kate's video, a sparkling new ring on Kate's hand, which many believe was a gift from Prince William. The accessory, a stunning Eternity band, appears early in the video as
Katy's seen driving. The thick gold ring, adorned with diamonds and sapphires, compliments her iconic engagement ring, which once belonged to Princess Diana. Kate is later shown gently running her fingers through tall grass, revealing both her wedding ring and the new piece of jewelry. This is at the first time fans have spotted the ring. It made a brief appearance earlier this summer in a video the couple shared
to congratulate teen GB after the Olympics. Fans are convinced that the ring is a special gift from Prince William, with one commenting the new ring again definitely with him present. Another speculator the Eternity ring could symbolize a fresh start for Katy's She celebrates the end of her treatment, marking the next phase of her life, and there you have it.
