Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas Intrigue. I'm your host, Mark Francis. Prince Harry is reportedly preparing to spend some holiday cheer with a special virtual Christmas party for a charity close to his heart. According to reports, the Duke of Sussex will host a video call on December tenth with children supported by Scotty's Little Soldiers, a charity that aids kids who have lost a parent in
the armed forces. Royal observers noted that this was an invite that did not include Megan, the Duchess of Sussex. In an invitation email cited by The Express, the charity wrote, Prince Harry would like to jump on a call with as many of our members as possible to wish them all merry Christmas. He appreciates that the festive season can be hard for our members and wants them to know
he is thinking of them. Members were also encouraged to submit questions for Harry, with the email adding this is your chance to get to know that Duke loads better and find out what Christmas is like for a prince. King Charles is reportedly intensifying efforts to evict Prince Andrew from the thirty one room Royal Lodge in Windsor amidst
their increasingly strained relationship. Royal expert Hillary Forditch told Fox News Digital King Charles has finally lost patience with Prince Andrew, digging his hills in becoming a prisoner of his own pride. King Charles is beyond frustrated with Prince Andrew. The relationship is strained, described by friends as guarded and mainly Machiavelian. Better to keep one's friends close and one's enemies closer. Royal biographer Robert Hardman noted that Charles might start removing
valuable items from Royal Lodge due to security concerns. The Royal Collection, which owns quite a lot of the treasures inside there, may say, well, we can't be confident that this place is safe anymore, and they'll start taking the paintings and some of the furniture away. Royal expert Richard
Fitzwilliams pointed out the optics of the situation. There is the question of him no longer being a public servant, and is it right that he should still be allowed to live in a crown at state property From a pr stance. This is not a great look. Things have slightly backfired at a time when there is a focus on the Royal family's finances. Under the terms of the lease, Andrew can only leave Royal Lodge to his daughters or widow.
The mansion is far too large for the disgraced Royal. However, he may be able to raise funds to help him with the upkeep. The last thing King Charles needs is the Prince Andrew problem to amplify the mystery around the Royal finances. There is no love lost between the brothers. King Charles wants Prince Andrew to voluntarily sort out his
current situation to avoid any future upset. There will always be the worry that Prince Andrew could quickly fall on financial hard times and go down the same path as Prince Harran Megan Markle by writing a memoir or appearing in a damaging documentary. But I don't believe he would do this for the sake of his daughters. The Royal family are, however, aware that as a private individual, Prince Andrew could unknowingly pick up some unscrupulous wealthy clients. Chard claimed.
This can then dig up or lead to another can of worms. Fitz Williams noted, given the way he looks at the world, it is unsurprising that Prince Andrew is resisting pressure to leave, but under the terms of his seventy five year lease, he has the right to stay if essential maintenance is carried out. In The Daily Mail, Richard Eden reports that the King may be rethinking his diet, including his long standing love of red meat. Following treatment
for an unspecified cancer. Knowing for championing British meat, including efforts to revive mutton, the King may now reduce his Intaker's part of his recovery. Tom Parker Bowls, the King's step son, revealed that both Charles and Quein Camilla have been making changes to their diets. Yes, I eat meat, but I go easy on the red meat, as does my mother, Parker Bowls shared in an interview with Saga magazine, and the King, after what he's been through recently, is
looking again at what and when he eats. Parker Bowls, a food writer and Mail On Sunday columnist, added, I'm know nutritionist, but I know that food is part of the body's medicine. It knows when it's having the right stuff. Buckingham Palace has not disc close the exact type of cancer Charles was treated for, but stated earlier this year that he underwent a procedure for an enlarged prostating January,
during which a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent tests identified the illness for which he has been receiving treatment. While Charles previously advocated for reducing meat consumption as a weight to combat climate change, the dietary shift seems tied more closely to health concerns. Cancer Research UK notes that while processed meats are definitely linked to cancer, red meat is classified as a probable cause. Eating lots of processed
meat can increase the risk of bowel cancer. The organization's states red meat is classed is a probable cause of cancer. This means there is a lot of good evidence of a link, but we need a few more of the best quality studies to be certain. Parker Bowles also shared that his mother, the Queen, is a fan of Jeremy Clarkson's farming show and Prime Video, saying Mum's a big fan of Clarkson's Farm, which is bringing British farming back
into the spotlight. It's a tough, twenty four hour, thankless job that's often profitless, but how bizarre it's taken someone like Jeremy clarks And to point out things must change. Palace Intrigue be right back. Megan Markle's lesser known British thriller Anti Social has resurfaced and is now available to
watch for free on Prime Video's Free v service. The twenty fifteen film, a UK Hungary co production, tells a story of a talented street artist played by Runaway's star Greg Sulkin, who risks his promising future to help his criminal brother amd a gangland rivalry. Marcl stars as Kristen, the artist's girlfriend, in one of her presuit's acting roles. The film, written and directed by Reg Travis of Joy Division, initially garnered mixed to negative reviews upon its release, with
a meaga twenty five percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Mark Kmode of The Observer dismissed it as an uninspiring crime caper that awkwardly balanced its narrative with dreary discussions of the politics of street art. However, The Times offered a more favorable take, with Kate new appraising it remarkable energy and fun, though she noted the overuse of London gangster cliches. Megan is embracing the magic of the holiday season. Speaking
with Marie Clare, Meghan said, I love the holidays. Archie little Bit are now three and five, so every year it gets better. At first, I think as a mum with children, you're just enjoying having them there, but they're not understanding everything that's happening yet. But now we're at the age where I can just wait to see it through their lens. Every year. Megan knows the importance of family and cherishes being near her mother Doria, adding I was thinking about in the past few years of having
Thanksgiving here. Like many of us, I think you always make sure there's room at the table for your friends who don't have family, which is really key. Every single holiday is a new adventure, Megan reflected, emphasizing the importance of giving Archie and little Bit the magic of traditions like great recipes that end up connecting a formative memory and leaving out carrots for the reindeer at Christmas. Her husband, Prince Harry, is expected to not spend any time with
his family again this holiday season. Also word on if Megan will have her father Thomas over for Christmas dinner. As Christmas looms, questions remain about whether Andrew will be allowed to join the Royal family's traditional public walk to church. Last year, he made the journey with Charles Kamilla, his daughter's Beatrice and Eugenie, and his ex wife Sarah Ferguson. Whether he'll be welcome again this year, or if Charles would use the festive season to address the Royal Lodge
situation remains to be seen. At least for now, Andrew was still riding high. I'll be with a wobbly grip and they have it. I'd like to email us addresses The Palace Intrigue at gmail dot com.
