Callaroga Shark Media, Hello and welcome through Palace Entry gameing host Mark Francis. Prince Harry has kicked off his solo trip to New York, rubbing elbows with royalty and celebrities, while wife Megan Michael remained notably absent. The Duke of Sussex in town for a series of high profile events coinciding with the United Nations General Assembly, was spotted at a dinner hosted by the World Health Organization, where he mingled with Queen Matilda of Belgium and actor Forrest Whittket.
The event honors survivors of childhood violence. This solo appearance follows another one just days earlier, at a charity event hosted by Kevin Costner to honor first responders. Last year, Harry attended the same event with Meghan by his side, so her absence this year raised some eyebrows. A source at the event remarked, we were all hoping Megan would attend like she did last year, but the word is
that she is sick and could not make it. At the Santa Barbara one eight h five Live event, Harry, looking sharp but notably sand's socks, took the stage to present an award to local helicopter pilots. Lauren Courtney. We both feel more at home behind the controls of a helicopter than on stage, Harry quipped to the crowd. The event also featured performances by Pink, Richard Markson, of course, Kevin Costner himself. Harry's New York agenda is packed with
major appearances. The plan was for Harry to attend a summit by Concordia speaking about the Diana Award, the charity in honor of his late mother, Princess Diana, which recognizes young leaders. Then Harry is scheduled to appear at the Clinton Global Initiative Annual meeting. The theme for this year's gathering is What's Working, and it brings together political, business
and philanthropic leaders. Harry's focus will be the launch of the Archwell Foundation's Parents Network and Initiative, supporting parents whose children have suffered or died due to online harm. He will also discuss his foundation's collaboration with the World Health Organization to combat violence against Children, the cause that he and Meghan recently addressed during their trip to Columbia. While we were all sad that Meghan wasn't able to join
Harry at the Costner event. Buddy expert Judy James suggests we saw glimpses of what has come to be known as the old Harry James told the Mirror. Harry's body language here suggests that he is totally in his element and delighted to be soaking up or even surfing the on stage adulation from the A list audience like the
star of the show. His open jacket, his gleefully beaming smile at the audience, and that cheeky, knowing thumbs up gesture will suggests he is in full show boating mode here, like some of his rock star style appearances on stage when he first arrived in the US. While the two award recipients stand together looking tentative, Harry is in full display mode, stretching an arm out to grab one man on the shoulder in a very informal display of recognition.
His hand mike, that signal of who is in charge, is held high to his face, which is turned upward and away with his head tilted and his chest puffed out to suggest a moment of complete confidence. During this solo outing in twenty twenty three, Harry and Meghan was seen at this event in a series of awkward looking poses from Harry in a tricky microphone moment from Megan. But this year his status and level of involvement looks
clearer and his mic management far more adept. Royal expert Phil Dampier said it is significant that he is doing so much on his own now they are living more separate lives, as it looks like Harry is trying to carve out exactly what his future is. I suspect Harry has been feeling very much like a spare part. He wants more fulfilling roles for himself, so we may well be seeing more of him here anyway. Please join us
in hoping that Megan feels better real soon. The Male quoted a source who said that Harry and Meghan seemed to be reaping the kind of Shardenfreuder with extra venom at which the entertainment business excels. They added it was only a matter of time before the industry press started taking shots. It's hard to find anyone with a good word to say for their film and television credibility. A
source tells The Male. Netflix were handing out fantasy deals like candy at the time, and so everybody just shrugged their shoulders and assumed their company wouldn't get much done despite the generous backing. But even Harry and Meghan Nacys would have been shocked at how little they've actually achieved.
And in the more austere climate of the industry in twenty twenty four, when thousands of people have lost jobs and the entertainment industry economy is struggling, there's now a genuine dislike and distrust towards them by some more palace. In just a moment, Kate joined William, Charles and Camilla for a Sunday church service at Balmoral. Remains me seen
how often will see the princess as she recovers. Prince William is a new partner in crime at work, Squadron leader Mike Reynolds, who recently took on the role of his equery, replacing Lieutenant Commander Robert Dixon. The two share more than just a professional relationship. They've got matching backgrounds as helicopter pilots in the Royal Air Force, and there both sporting beards. According to Tatler, the equery position is a senior aide role drawn from his British Armed Forces
that helps for the fisher royal duties. Reynolds takes over from Dixon, who's returning to the Royal Navy after four years of service with William, William, usually a clean shaven prince, has set off some royal buzz by debuting stubble at a recent Sovereign's parade at RAF Cranwell and in a video with Kate Middleton congratulating TEMGB on their twenty twenty
four Paris Olympics success. This marks the first time since two thousand and eight that William has shown off facial hair, back when he rocked a beard during the Royal family's Christmas wark at Sandringham. The military has loosened up its beard restrictions since then, with the ARIA relaxing its stance in twenty nineteen and the British Army lifting its ban
earlier this year. The beard debate even made waves in the Royal family, with Harry mentioning in Spare that William had some tension over Harry being allowed to sport a beard at his twenty eighteen wedding, something William wasn't granted during his military time. While William temporarily shaved off his
beard in August for a trip to church. It looks like the beard is backed for his September engagements, including an event for his Homewards campaign in Aberdeen, so it seems like we might see more of the bearded Prince of Wales in the future. Tom Parker Bowls is offering a rare peak into the dining habits of his mother, Queen Camilla and stepfather King Charles, ahead of the release of his book Cooking and the Crown Royal Recipes from
Queen Victoria to King Charles Third. In a recent piece for The Daily Mail, Tom, who was the son of Camilla and her former husband Andrew Parker Bowls, describes the royal couple's preference for simple, healthy and seasonal food, all under the watchful eye of Royal Chef Mark Flanagan, who accompanies them on their various estates. King Charles is a staunch advocate of food sustainability, and Tom praised him as
a true food hero who lives by his principles. The King's banndry is often stocked with produce from the royal estates, including game, beef, lamb and fresh fruits and vegetables such as pea, strawberries and charred Tom added the Charles's adamant
about minimizing food waste at his table. While Charles skips lunch entirely, opting instead for a more traditional afternoon tea at five, his tea spread is far from simple, includes macaroons, SCons, biscuits, crumpets, and sandwiches, where fillings like smoked salmon or ham and must Camilla, on the other hand, prefers a light lunch, usually consisting of something as simple as chicken soup or
smoked salmon. When it comes to dinner, the King and Queen enjoy a laid back, private meal away from the formalities of royal life. However, official banquets are an entirely different affair. These events, often held at Windsor's, Saint George's Hall or Buckingham Palace, involve extravagant three course meals, and
the menus are still traditionally written in French. Tom also dives into the culinary preferences of past monarchs like Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip, revealing how the chefs at Buckingham Palace, Sandringham and Balmoral prepare meals.
