Here he is talking to 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: Jason Lauren on Nov. One hundred. I was quite good 19 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 2: friends with Harry back in the day when he was 20 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: a terrible right, yeah, Vegas or anything. He added that 21 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 2: they'd had a few nights out together and said that 22 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 2: Harry was quite fun prior to settling down with Meghan 23 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: and going on to get engaged. The following year, moving 24 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 2: on an explosive new bookers shared fresh claims about what 25 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: went on behind palace walls while Harry, Meghan, William, and 26 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 2: Kate were all living in close proximity. In yes Man, 27 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 2: The Secret Life of Royal Servants, Royal Staff told of 28 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 2: how unfounded rumors were sparked that Meghan was quote flirting 29 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: with William due to the fact that she would hug 30 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: him all the time. Now, while it clearly wasn't true, 31 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: author Tom Quinn claims that the gossip caused tension and 32 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 2: added to the rift between William and Harry. Meghan herself 33 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: has previously opened up about the awkwardness of her touchy 34 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: feely approach compared with members of her husband's family, revealing 35 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,639 Speaker 2: in the twenty twenty two Netflix docuseries Harry and Meghan 36 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: that the shek been stunned to realize they kept the 37 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: formalities up behind closed doors. 38 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: Because now I know so much, and I'm so glad 39 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: I didn't then, because I could just authentically be myself 40 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: without so much preparedness. There was a hugger, always been 41 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: a hugger. I didn't realize that that is really a 42 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: jarring for a lot of breads. There is a forward 43 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: feacing way of being and then you close it on 44 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: your Oh okay, we can relax now. But that formality 45 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: carries over on both sides, and that was surprising to me. 46 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: The actress thing was the biggest problem. 47 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 2: Funny enough, Yeah, that makes for a pretty awkward setup, 48 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 2: I imagine. Finishing up with a bit of a major 49 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 2: update about the Princess of Wales. So, as we all know, 50 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 2: since she first stepped into the spotlight as William's then 51 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: girlfriend twenty years ago, Kate's appearance has been scrutinized and 52 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 2: most of what she wears sells out immediately. But after 53 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 2: battling through cancer and with insiders hinting in recent months 54 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 2: that her approach to public life will be forever changed 55 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: as a result, she's now made a significant decision regarding 56 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 2: her wardrobe, so Kensington Palace routinely releases details to the 57 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: media of the clothing she wears, on public engagements, but 58 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,519 Speaker 2: that's now said to end, as a Palace source said 59 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 2: to The Times this week, and I quote, there is 60 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: an absolute feeling that it the public work is not 61 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 2: about what the princess is wearing. She wants the focus 62 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: to be on the really important issues, the people and 63 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 2: the causes she's spotlighting. There will always be an appreciation 64 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 2: of what the princess is wearing from some of the 65 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: public and she gets that. But do we need to 66 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 2: be officially always saying what she's wearing. No, the style 67 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 2: is there, but it's about the substance end quote. And 68 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 2: there you have it. Some big changes are afoot. Anyway, 69 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,119 Speaker 2: that's your Royal fix for now. Thanks for listening.
