Calorogu Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas Intrigue. I'm your host, Mark Francis. Reports of a falling out between the Duke of Sussex and his cousin, Princess Eugenie have been firmly denied following claims made by broadcaster to Piers Morgan on a recent episode of his program Uncensored. Mister Morgan suggested Prince Harry had gone completely ballistic after Eugenie
was seen socializing with him at a London pub. According to mister Morgan, the Duke took issue with the princess being photographed embracing the journalist, who had been a relentless critic of both Harry and Megan Michael. Mister Morgan told viewers she was outing lunch with me and a group of people in a pub in London that was seen hugging them goodbye, and Harry saw this and went completely ballistic. I can confirm that this is entirely true because he
couldn't bear it. However, a source close to the Sussexes told People magazine that such claims are categorically untrue. The Duke remains close to Princess Eugenie. They always have and always will be. The insider stated. While Prince Harry's ties with some members of his family have grown strained in recent years, his connection with Princess Eugenie and Beatrice is understood to have remained intact. Rumors of a rift, it seems,
are more bluster than truth. One of those strained relationships is with Prince William, that once tight fraternal bond began to quietly frey, not with mexit, but much earlier, according to royal author Tina Brown in the Palace Papers Inside the House of windsor The Truth and the Turmoil, Brown quotes a former aide who claims the brother's relationship hadn't
been the same since William married Kate. While the two princes continued to live side by side at Kensington Palace and shared both an office and regular social time, Brown writes that Harry privately mourned his us against the world bond with William. William settled into his married life where the now Princess of Wales. Brown suggests Harry felt edged
out of the equation. Harry felt displaced by their bougie family unit and couldn't understand his brother's obsession with his Middleton in laws, she writes, adding that the Middleton's lifestyle bored harritage tears. The author paints a portrait of Prince William fully embracing country life, often found tramping the grounds of Anmer Hall, the Norfolk home gifted to him by the late Queen Elizabeth, in a flat cap and tweed
jacket like his turnip top Norfolk farmer friends. As William grew into his role as future King, Brown asserts he became less tolerant of his younger brother's wild child ways. He was less amused than the British public by either the strip Billiard's tobaccle in Las Vegas or Harry's ceaseless boozy nightclub forays with his rowdy friends. His younger brother's recklessness exasperated him. Prince William plans to get some work in between vacations, no exactly, Princess ann when it comes
to the royal docket. Will is set to resume public engagements next week following the Easter break, where a visit to a youth focused charity in South London. However, the Princess of Wales will not be accompanying him as she continues her private recovery. On April twenty fourth, Prince William will visit Mentivity, an organization dedicated to empowering young people
through mentorship, educational support and safe spaces. During his visit, the Principal participate in a roundtable discussion on youth employment and apprenticeships, listening to young people share both their aspirations and the challenges they face entering the workforce, and, perhaps more importantly, feed the media with some new photos of Wills being cool and looking cool so nobody asks questions about his vacation schedule. Between photo ops, Harry take notes
on how to do this. As Prince Harry continues his legal battle over UK security protections, those close to the Duke of Sussex believed King Charles is keeping his distance into intentionally. The legal battle puts Harry in direct contact with the people who are carrying out the king's orders. Royal biographer Sally Biddell Smith told people if his father was to say something even seemingly innocuous, it could end
up landing in the middle of the court case. Others with close ties to the palace suggest the estrangement could be navigated more carefully, with a source saying a distinction between personal life and official duties could be made, but things have been februal for a while. In the Daily Mail, Liz Jones says not to blame Harry for the frosty
relationship with the King. Jones rights part of the reason for charles coldness towards Harry is Harry's current unedifying fight in the courts for his UK security to be upgraded. His own privately funded bodyguards are not allowed to be armed when here Why with this angered Charles? Yes, his state visit to Italy was pushed off the front pages last week by images of his sons striding warriorlike and
painfully lonely into court. But it seems odd for the King to object to his son's claim because if he wins, Harry has indicated he and his family would visit Britain more often than his father would welcome that the King has been trained to be a diplomat since birth to set an example, Yet it seems he cannot extend a hand of friendship to his son. Is he worried that a note or a kind word will make it into
the public sphere via his liquacious second born. Perhaps, but surely a photo opportunity showing a hug a handshake would speak volumes. There is no hand of friendship being extended by William either. If he can forgive his father's historic indiscretions. In nineteen ninety four, he confessed to infidelity in a televised interview with Jonathan Dimbleby, surely he can forgive his
brother for that Oprah interview. In writing a memoir, however candid, does he fear his and Kate's life will be made a living hell, that the Wayales's family will be overshadowed by the Sussexes. I think the latter. He must realize that high profile visits from Harry and Meghan Archie and lullabit in tow would enliven our interest and affection for
the royal family. It would certainly be more fascinating, glamorous and fun than being drip fed badly shot photos of Kate in a baker boy cap talking to scouts on a wind swept hillside. Brand expert Nick E tells the son Meghan hasn't really earned her stripes yet. She's not the fashionista yet, she's not the cook yet, She's not the makeup expert yet. Nothing feels particularly rounded in actual knowledge,
so people begin to turn off. We've been on this journey with Harry and Meghan, but when we get to the crux of it, it never goes anywhere. Everything feels like a scatter gun approach. Nothing seems thought out or strategized. She and Harry seem to think, yes, I'll take the money and work out what to do afterwards. More palace in just a moment. The Princess Royal was reportedly left surprised upon learning that a leading female athlete had to can pain for the right to wear shorts while playing
her sport. Wednesday's investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, Princess Anne, the possible former Royal sex bomb, presented England hockey player Tess Howard with an MB. Miss Howard, part of the Commonwealth Games gold medal winning squad in twenty twenty two, was honored not only for her achievements on the pitch, but her advocacy around inclusive sportswear for women and girls.
Speaking after the ceremony, Miss Howard said, if I had an organization like inclusive Sportswear, I wouldn't have had to campaign for years to wear shorts in hockey, which is bizarre. She added, The Princess Royal was surprised that I had to campaign to wear shorts. It's silly when you say
it out loud. The twenty four year old athlete, who plays for East Grinstead Hockey Club, founded the group Inclusive Sportswear in twenty twenty three to challenge barriers in sport and promote more flexible, comfortable kit options for all athletes, regardless of gender. Reflecting on the recognition, she remarked, it's quite ridiculous that I've been given an award essentially for
campaigning to wear shorts. In twenty twenty three, the International Hockey Federation updated its rules to allow female players the option to wear shorts, skirts or sports provided the match in color and design, but Miss Howard says that the change is only the beginning and that her organization will continue pushing for greater inclusivity across all levels of sport.
Princess Anne, a longtime supporter of British athletics and a former Olympian herself, has not commented publicly, but is understood to have taken a keen interest in the matter.
