CalaRoga Shark Media Hello
0:41
and welcome to Palace Intrigue. I am your host, Mark
0:43
Francis. King Charles may extend an
0:45
olive branch and invite Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
0:48
to Balmoral Castle this summer in a bid to
0:50
be reunited with his grandchildren. Sources tell Page Six.
0:54
A well-placed society source said, I can see
0:56
Charles desperately wanting to see the children and
0:59
extending this olive branch to Meghan and Harry,
1:01
he may decide that life is just too
1:03
short. Balmoral is truly
1:05
the perfect, restful place for a reunion.
1:07
If he does issue an invite, then
1:10
Harry and Meghan should surely agree to
1:12
the visit. Royal Insider Deep
1:14
Crown doesn't think of Balmoral's stay as likely,
1:16
saying, I could perhaps see a scenario
1:18
where Meghan and Harry make a brief visit more
1:21
as a gesture of goodwill than anything else. A
1:23
quick trip to clear the air to show that they are willing to make
1:26
an effort despite the challenges they face, but
1:29
an extended stay that seems highly unlikely given
1:31
the current state of affairs. The
1:33
wounds from the past few years are still raw,
1:35
and the trust between the Sussexes and the rest
1:38
of the Royal Family has been deeply eroded. It
1:40
would take more than a few days in the
1:42
Scottish countryside to rebuild those bonds. Meghan
1:45
in particular might find the prospect of
1:47
a lengthy Balmoral visit daunting. She's
1:49
always been a woman who values her independence and her
1:51
ability to control her own narrative. The
1:53
idea of being sequestered away in a
1:55
remote castle with limited access to the
1:57
outside world could feel suffocating and resisting.
2:00
That's not to say
2:02
an invitation wouldn't be significant. It would be
2:04
a clear sign that King Charles, despite everything
2:06
that's happened, still holds out hope for a
2:08
reconciliation with his son and daughter-in-law, and for
2:10
Harry, the chance to spend time with his
2:12
father and to introduce his children to the
2:14
place that holds so many memories for him
2:16
could be deeply meaningful. But realistically,
2:18
any visit is likely to be short and
2:20
carefully choreographed, a chance to break
2:23
the ice, to take a tentative step
2:25
toward healing, but not a full-scale family
2:27
vacation. The road to reconciliation is a
2:29
long one, and it will take more than a few days
2:31
in the Highlands to get there. PR
2:34
guru Jane Owen thinks Harry is a good role
2:37
model for his children, saying, I think that it's
2:39
great to see Harry putting his best foot forward
2:41
in doing his job. He's always
2:43
struck me as a hard-working guy with a good
2:45
heart, much like his mother, which is why it
2:47
was frustrating to see him pretty much hiding away
2:49
for that time in Montecito. It's
2:52
also, in my opinion, a good example for his
2:54
children who won't likely grow up with the same
2:56
royal obligations he had, but will have to forge
2:59
their own careers. He's showing them that
3:01
you have to fulfill your obligations when you take on
3:03
a job. Business
3:06
experts have picked up on science. Megan's new
3:08
brand was rushed. Leader Rebelo, head of design
3:10
at Own Your Own Space, told The Mirror,
3:12
they had got creative with Alogo's crest by
3:14
hiding the initials in there, but it's so
3:17
messy that it's almost impossible to notice. It's
3:20
like they were aiming for clever, but it ended up
3:22
being a bit of a puzzle that's hard to solve.
3:25
Rebelo added, the whole design of the logo
3:27
feels like it was rushed, with too much
3:29
going on at once. It's like
3:31
someone didn't know when to stop drawing. Because of this,
3:33
it's tough to make out any clear shape or idea
3:35
in the mess. They picked a fancy
3:37
handwriting file for the text, but once
3:40
you scale it down to normal science, good
3:42
luck trying to read it. The thin lines
3:44
of the script just blend together, making it
3:46
a strain on your eyes. PR
3:48
guru Lynn Carrot told The Mirror, if Megan
3:50
and Harry are set on building their popularity
3:52
up, there needs to be some consistency and
3:55
authenticity running across their brand as a couple,
3:57
another successful Invictus Games, will have a good
3:59
time. help Harry's popularity. Kerat
4:02
noted that the couple will always face criticism
4:05
for whatever they do, but they also need
4:07
to help themselves in fostering the right PR
4:09
strategy. She suggested that Meghan
4:11
could consider toning down her use of
4:13
designer labels and opting for more affordable
4:15
options, like Kate, to become more relatable
4:17
to the British public. Showing
4:20
herself as a normal working mum who is facing the
4:22
same challenges as others would also help. She
4:25
also pointed out that the public often dislikes
4:27
the hypocrisy of the couple showing off their
4:30
privileged life while trying to resonate and relate
4:32
to those less fortunate than themselves. Also,
4:34
their use of private jets while campaigning
4:36
for climate change is often commented on.
4:39
Fair or unfair, the public likes to call
4:41
Meghan and Harry out on these things, so
4:43
I believe toning these things down would help
4:46
increase their popularity. Rupert
4:48
Bell, a royal expert, recently appeared on talk
4:50
TV's Ayres and Spares and said, they say
4:52
we don't want to be part of the
4:54
royal family, you just need to look at
4:56
their website. And it indicates that they are
4:58
hanging on to the royal coattails. And
5:01
Prince Harry says, we don't want that, but without
5:03
it they have nothing to sell because suddenly if
5:05
they don't have that royal connection, then what are
5:07
they? They're just another celebrity couple. Celebrities
5:10
have to look as if they know what they're doing
5:12
and they have to work hard at it more often
5:14
than not to achieve what they want to achieve, whether
5:16
it be acting or promoting something.
5:19
We can all see what's going on, but are
5:21
people buying it or is this the royal family
5:23
not being strong enough with them and saying, stop
5:25
