Hey everyone, Christina Yarbaldi here with Christine Ross and welcome to another big week of royal news. Christine, a lot's going on this week. Good stuff. All right, before we get into it, let's see what you guys had to say about last week's show. Geraldine says Prince William and Kate and the kids and the royal family are amazing and I think the royal family won the war with Harry and Meghan long ago and Harry and Meghan have been singing ever since. That's no surprise, we kind of get these comments all the time, but yes, Kate and William seem to be thriving at the moment. And another user says, we love seeing Prince William and Princess Catherine. They both are winners in my book. Yes, lots going on with William and Catherine this week and so let's get right into our news. And actually kicking it off with the royal family, King Charles, Prince William and Princess Catherine are voicing support for Israel after the surprise attacks by Hamas militants killed killed thousands of civilians last weekend. So the Prince and Princess of Wales released a statement on social media and it is the first time the couple have spoken out about the October 7th attack. And so a spokesperson for the Prince and Princess of Wales said, the Prince and Princess of Wales are profoundly distressed by the devastating events that have unfolded in the past days. The horrors afflicted by Hamas terrorist attack upon Israel are appalling. They utterly condemn them. So they spoke out, King Charles also spoke out as well as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex condemning these attacks. It's absolutely horrific what is going on over there. And we know that Prince William was in Israel not too long ago. Yeah, this is a really interesting story from the royal family because it wasn't necessarily a given that they would release a statement. We haven't seen a lot of statements from other royal households, but I think because the British royal family has relationships with key characters, key players in this horrific incident, you know, and as it unfolds, it's so, so difficult to watch. And I think the Prince and Princess of Wales, their statement was really the most strongly worded. So I think they were the ones to say, we have to say something. We have to make it clear that we support these people and this is how we feel. Yeah, definitely. All right. Well, our hearts and prayers go out to everybody affected. It's really just like I said, horrific. And it's nice that they are speaking out and lending their support. All right, well, let's switch gears a little bit and lighten the mood a little bit because Prince William and Princess Catherine were asked to share their most used emojis. And one of them gave a surprising, not safe for work answer. So Prince William said it would have been the Abergine emoji that he uses quite often. And he says, it's where the eyes go up and down and the mouth's out. What's that one? The slightly crazy one. So Abergine for those readers unfamiliar is in fact, the British English, British word for saying eggplant. So Kate, meanwhile, had a, had no difficulty coming up with a family friendly answer saying, mine's probably going to be the heart. And then the crying emoji and the hysterical laughing emoji. But I love that, you know, Prince William's always sending the eggplant emoji. After he asks who's pinching his bum during a photo. I mean, he's letting loose. Someone has said, go on William. This is all happened during his, their BBC one interview last week. And he also talked about Kate's cooking and the Kate asked William if he'll be cooking her dinner while answering fans questions. He said, no, I think probably a curry. Won't it? He asked his wife jokingly, assuming that she would be the one to prepare the meal instead. She laughed with William and she confirmed that the family would most likely be eating curry or teriyaki salmon. Also explained that while she has a tolerance for spice, William does not. He admitted, I can't do too much spice. I start sweating. It's not attractive. Kate has to bring it in because otherwise I get too sweaty. It's not a nice sight. I love, and then she also added that she likes to give him extra spice on his dish after, after giving him his, I just love that we're getting these little tidbits into their personal life. I know, like a match in the kitchen or like the dinner table back at Adelaide cottage must be, it must be, it's so surreal to think about. Kate does say she loves lots of cilantro and lots of spice and William's like, no, none of that for me. So it's so funny. It's so normal, isn't it? Like we all have disagreements with our partner over what tastes good or what seasonings to use. And it's these little down to earth moments that are just so charming. We'd love to see it. Love to see it. Well, we talked about Megan and Harry's big Archwell conversation around mental health day last week, but we have a little bit more insight on what exactly they talked about. And Prince Harry said that he has a lot of worries about raising their two children in a social media driven world. Megan explained that the couple's Archwell foundation has been working to better highlight the negative effects that come with social media for children. She said, I feel fortunate that our children are at an age, again, quite young. So this isn't in our immediate future. She added that she's also been given a lot of hope based on the progress the Archwell foundation has made in the last year at giving a voice to the families hurt by social media toxicity. Harry agreed with, with Megan telling attendees, I think for us or myself and my wife with kids growing up in the digital age for us, it's a priority here. It is to turn pain into purpose. I mean, you and I both with young kids, I know that this is something that keeps me up at night is growing up in this digital media age and having to deal with, you know, what goes on behind the scenes when you're not, when you can't monitor everything that's going on. And it really is becomes a toxic environment. Yeah. Harry's really, you know, he's really done a lot of work, social media reforms, bullying on social media, goodness knows, Megan and Harry are familiar with, with that concept. And I think putting it under the scope of, you know, we maybe can survive it as adults, although a lot of people don't thinking about children, having to grow up in that environment really pushes you to push for that reform. It seems like after their trip to New York city, they are now enjoying some downtime in the Caribbean. They were spotted on a very exclusive Island in the Caribbean, just kind of soaking in the sun and having a little mom, dad time. Yeah, it was really sort of photos popping up online of them having sort of a leisurely romantic stroll. Um, and, and again, it's, you know, they try and lead such a private life, but we still see them from time to time, which is kind of nice. Kind of nice. All right, well, let's spill some Royalty and Carson Daly was worried about Royal protocol when he was talking to Harry and Megan, and he didn't know whether or not like how to greet them. So of course he moderated a discussion discussion with the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry during their arch will foundation summit. And he raved about it during his time on the today show, he recalled the Sussex is being so great. And he said, he didn't know whether to curtsy or hug, like what's the Royal rules and whatnot. And Megan said, bring it in with a big hug. So, I mean, they're not working Royal, so you don't really have to, I guess, treat them exactly like you would if you came across the Prince and Princess of Wales. But I like that Megan kind of, um, eased everybody's maybe fear and just kind of brought it in for a hug. Yeah. But I think Megan has always been like this, even when she was a member of the working member of the Royal family, we saw her at these events where she would go in and hug people. You know, she really is. I think that's her personality. She's, she's a hugger. She's very down to earth, very friendly. I think she's, you know, just wants to put people at ease and make them comfortable. Definitely. Well, we've been talking about suits, like I feel like every single week. Um, so everybody get excited about this because it may be coming back on television, but in a whole new way, no, Megan is not coming back. Um, deadline reported that creator of the show is developing a suits offshoot with NBC universal. The project is not being billed as a revival reboot or a spinoff, but rather an entirely new series that exists in the suits universe. That's it will feature new characters and new cast and be set in a different location than the original series. So, um, so just, uh, probably a show about lawyers doing well since it's hit Netflix. Cause all we hear about is suits every week. We have a new story. This will be really interesting. I'm sure people really love it because people really love watching suits. Uh, but yeah, no, Megan, I don't think she's going to make any guest appearances. I don't think so. And I don't think so, but I'm sure in, you know, in a couple of weeks, everybody would be binging the crown because that's coming back on Netflix. And I know that there were some new photos that were released from the show as well. So very exciting. Um, it's definitely going to be a good season, you know, final season too. So, um, another week, another story about King Charles, not mending fences with Prince Harry, but so he seemingly tried to extend an olive branch to his younger son and attempt to make peace. But, um, another Royal expert is saying that it was snapped in half by not reconciling with his father and brother, Prince William. So Duncan Larkom said this, um, he told the sun recently that the monarch is also allegedly punishing Harry for the things he wrote in his memoir, spare. Harry has said some deeply hurtful things about Queen Camilla and yet the King will still correspond with his son. I'll be at not directly. This is what Duncan claimed. He also said that it's remarkable really because when Charles became King, he said he loved Harry and Megan, which was a huge olive branch, which Harry then took snapped in half and then hit him with it. Um, who knows? I mean, we talk about this on a daily basis. A lot of people did say when King Charles did make his initial speech, when he became King, that he did extend that olive branch to Prince Harry. But I mean, that was, um, well over a year ago now and not much has changed. Yeah, I think this is a little bit of the, not this, a little bit of the same, you know, that would be a natural reaction to that, to the, what was revealed in spare. The natural reaction would be to be a bit upset and be quite angry about it. So this is just kind of a little bit of what we already know and what we can already expect from this really terrible family drama that keeps unfolding. Keeps on going. All right, moving on to a story, which I really love this week. So princess Diana's iconic hairstyles were held in place by a specifically made hairspray. So the Royals, um, cosmetic chemist revealed this all in an exclusive interview with page six. So Sheree Ladov, who was, um, you know, in her early twenties when she got a call from princess Diana to help her create or help her avoid this helicopter hair throughout her travels across the globe. So she set out to make what she and Diana and Dalton called helicopter hairspray, which was perfected after a series of trials and tribulations. She went on to explain that, um, she explored lush forests and exotic terrains to source rare ingredients fit for a princess approved product. She said, we found this gum resin, uh, from a tree and that's how we were able to create this formula for Diana. I was literally in the lab formulating myself, figuring out what's the melting point of this and how do we get it so that it's not so sticky and tacky. So they created this, um, helicopter hairspray. So every time you saw her come out of a, um, a helicopter, her hair was tightly in place. They said there was loads of tests and trials. I wondered, did Diana have to like stand in front of a helicopter to test it out? I mean, you know, was there lots of, you know, what were, what were we using exactly for this test method? I think it's so fantastic. I love these inside stories about how things, you know, how a Royal look really does come together. And speaking of Royal looks, let's break down the Royal rules. And this week we are joined by fashion stylist, Miranda Holder, who is going to weigh in on the latest Royal fashion trends and give us some tips and tricks, how to dress like a Royal for this fall. What do you think of Kate's tailored suit streak as of late? What do you make of this? Do you approve? This has really become her uniform of choice, certainly for appointments and sort of work, if you like, inverted commas for Kate. Um, and I think it's sending a message, you know, that the Royals understand like no other, apart from perhaps celebrity stylists like myself, the, um, the language and the power, the transformative power of clothes. You know, what you wear says a thousand words before you've even got anywhere near who you're approaching in terms of color, in terms of cut, how formal it is, how it hangs, et cetera. So Kate is saying, don't focus so much on my clothes. You know, I am here to do a role. I want to be taken seriously. I am treating this as, you know, a proper duty. Um, I am pledging my allegiance to these charities and causes I'm supporting, and I am your future queen and I'm, I'm doing the best I can. You said that you wanted to see Meghan have a full rebrand of her style. Do you feel like she has done that in the months since? No, I don't actually. I don't. I think she's gone back. She's gone back to who she is again, talking about her essence. I think naturally Meghan feels most comfortable in more relaxed, casual clothing. You know, it's almost, um, symptomatic of the countries they come from in here in the UK. We're a little bit more uptight and stuffy, let's face it, traditional. And in the U S it's more free, you know, it's the land of opportunity and you can get away with a lot more. So I think that's reflected with their clothing. But in answer to your question, no, Meghan's just gone back. I think really to her sort of California roots. She still looks glamorous. She's probably got some more expensive pieces in there. She's probably got a bit more money now. I think she's weaving in more designer heavyweights into her wardrobe, but her actual style signature has just gone back to who Meghan really is. If you know us at home want to experiment and, you know, maybe dress like a Royal, what are maybe three items that you must have in your closet for the fall? And maybe some do's and don'ts when you want to dress like a Royal. Okay. Number one, it has to be a really sharp coat. Um, generally I would say, but steer away from print and go for block color. They are easier to aware and team with other things, but they can usually look smarter and certainly more classic. If you really want to go for that Kate Middleton vibe, um, make sure you choose something that, that complements your body shape. I would definitely say a great suit. Um, this is not breaking any new ground, but we know all the Royals, uh, love them and wear them. Whether this is a skirt suit or a trouser suit, pants suit, as you would say, as Kate loves, that's very much up to you and down to your personal style, but they are just so versatile these days and you can dress them up. Obviously you can wear them to work if that's, um, if you're in an office situation, but you can really easily dress them up for the evening with a different silk blouse, say some fantastic statement earrings, some killer heels, if you, if you dare. Um, but they also look really cool styled down with sneakers or trainers, as we would say to make them more daytime appropriate and cool. So that would be a really, really great investment. And then finally, I would say, if I'm going to choose just three pieces, a little style trick that Kate doesn't do as much of anymore, actually, but she used to do it all the time was invest in a really elegant and comfortable. Now you would say pump, we would say court shoe, um, because they might look a little bit old fashioned or plain, but actually they're going to be your best friend because if you get a skin tone complimenting pair in a neutral sort of nudie color, go for a monochrome look. So another really key strong royal family look, and it makes fashion and dressing so much easier is to embrace the monochrome. So that means wearing basically the same color from head to toe down to the shoes in the bag, if you want to take it that far, but it's very slimming, it's elongating. It's also a very striking, um, way to dress. So if you want to be remembered and make a real impression, um, wearing monochrome is brilliant. And it also takes all the decision fatigue out of getting dressed in the morning because you're just picking a red top and some red trousers and you're good to go. I love, uh, I love Miranda. I think she's fantastic. And she gave some really good tips. You know, those three statement pieces is pretty much all you need. No, I mean, I feel like I need to go shopping now. This is really dangerous every time. All right, let's wrap it up with our pint-sized pallets and Prince William and Prince George traveled to France to support Wales in the Rugby World Cup on October 14th. The Prince of Wales and Prince George were twinning in their Navy suits with red ties to support the Welsh team. Um, and William opted for a white shirt while his son opted for a light blue button down. Unfortunately, their father's son outing didn't result in a victory, but we love seeing the two of them together. They visited the players in the locker room after the game to share the condolences after the loss, but I'm sure that definitely uplifted the player's spirits. I think this was really special. I love that Prince George was there. And if you watch footage from when they are meeting the players, Prince George, it's so cute. He's shaking hands. He's making eye contact. He's sort of, he's actually having a conversation with them. You know, it's really, really amazing, but they're raising a future King. You know, it has to be a little bit different. He must, you know, have different expectations. He can't sort of be shy and hiding behind his dad at these sorts of events. So it was really great to see them together and great to see George kind of stepping into this role. Yeah, you're right. And I mean, he's 10, he's slowly stepping into this role and calling along on more outings and things like that. So I'm sure we'll see more of George in the upcoming weeks. All right. Well, Christine, thank you so much as always. And that wraps up this week's episode of Royally Ask. Keep commenting, keep subscribing, and we'll see you guys next week.
