Reading through the comments I’m irritated to know she will be on. She’s unprofessional and insufferable, will definitely fast forward, don’t need her toxicity.
She’s bright and interesting when calm, and her analysis is well worth hearing. But when she gets agitated and snarly, it’s hard to listen to because it goes beyond energetic and compelling.
My third grade teacher brought a radio into our classroom So that we could witness history ! It was Queen Elizabeth 11 Coronation! I became fascinated with her and remained so for 70 years I always think back on that day and think kindly of my teacher! I am an American but love the royal family !
Well now, just look at Tessa Dunlop behaving like a normal person and not losing her mind. Who knew she could hold it together??? I still can't stand watching her or hearing her gravelly voice. Loved how Piers shut Tessa down, leaving her hanging and pouting on his show. That was SWEET...lol Richard is such a well mannered and interesting gentleman, as always.
Can you do us all a favour and find a less aggro oppositional commentator than Tessa Dunlop - her every utterance is grating...I'm not against having critiques but seriously she's boring in her self-importance.
No worries. Kate answered Meghan with class when she did the awesome curtsy. The women answered in style with the coordinated outfits. Let H&M keep talking. The real royals will keep being really royal. :)
Princess Catherine is completely awesome. The Duplicitous Duo have used a lot of words to say nothing. All they have are non-accusation accusations. They have to be following legal advice on how to smear others without saying anything that can leave them open to a lawsuit.
Yes, the coordinated outfits,; will add another observation. Camilla wore WHITE, showing that the Queen Consort chose the bland color, contrary to what Meghan said, and all the other women chose the BRIGHT COLOR, wine/red.. OPPOSITE to what Meghan said about the "head" wearing the bright colors. YES, they were making a statement. GOOD FOR THEM. Meghan's betrayal of Harry's family is unforgivable. BONDS of a family need acceptance and patient work, not blatant attacks from a usurping outsider like Meghan Markle, hell bent on self promotion to the exclusion of the bonds between a spouse's family.
Oh my hope too. But it’s a vain hope. Those two are big money, ratings and viewings. The press won’t let this go. It’s not in their best interest, moneywise
They've done the whole Netflix series, and with the hype of more drama, it was just more of the same. Still not a single specific accusation, still not a shred of proof for their malicious charges. Now the hype is for the book - more drama, this time for real! Lol
I’m Canadian and I agree… you’re meeting your potential future in-laws… who happen to be second in line for the throne, and you meet them in ripped jeans and barefoot? It’s rude. It would be rude if you were ‘commoners’ like the rest of us. That was a power play by Meghan, to show that she wasn’t threatened or impressed with William and Kate, and was à deliberate snub. From the jump Harry should have realized she wasn’t even trying to be civil to his family. She already had alienated her own family and she was determined to do it to his as well. I’m surprised Meghan admitted to doing that… it exposes her more than the Wales’
Quite right! It was very rude from Meghan to welcome her sister and brother in law - whom she was meeting for the first time - with ripped jeans and bare foot. She was hosting the party in central London, not at the beach. Did she gave them forks and knives or were they supposed to eat with their hands? She has no good manners and does not even seem to be aware of that
It could have been as simple as MM not realising trendy clothes are not appropriate for the RF. My niece is the same age as MM. She has a pair of jeans that are ripped near the knees and wears them alot. They are all the rage. And if she came to my house for dinner she would probably wear them, and I would have no shoes on. I hate wearing shoes in the house. The noise on the floor annoys me. But we aren't royalty. Her hugging them nope. Over the years my son has bought home a few girlfriends. I never hugged any of them except for his now wife. The others came and went. Always polite but I wouldn't want someone jumping on me either.
I think if she had extended the invitation to William and Catherine to " come'on over in ripped jeans and barefoot and we'll all 'hang out' for a while" that would have been okay!
@@mireille4751 How is it rude to meet someone while you are wearing ripped jeans? That is not rude. That is someone who is in a casual simple way of thinking. She probably thought that she wanted a chilled out evening. It would be rude if she wore her pyjamas. It would also be rude if she wore short shorts and a belly top. Then I could understand people's shock. I'm sure she had no malice in her to try offend the hoity-toity top class royals. Who Megan probably thought this is my boyfriend / husband's brother. It's not a snub.
@@sandracrosbie8468 it depends on the context but she herself framed it as the very first time she was meeting her in-laws at her dinner invitation. So much more than hanging out. I’d have worn a simple dress or skirt, even if casual. Jeans, ripped or not, are a tad too casual, but ultimately it’s fine if they all got on well. I think the trouble is whether it’s even a true story at all or told strategically to show her “authenticity” and to play to her gullible followers. Painting the Wales as uptight or snobs is unfair of her, and she does it over and over to benefit her own image and purposes.
I don't see Meghan as a huggy person at all and if she did try to hug someone it would not be sincere. To try to hug someone on a first meeting is very rude.
And to meet your future in-laws in ripped jeans and barefoot is the height of rudeness. I sincerely doubt she would have met the then PoW or Her Majesty and Prince Philip dressed that way. But then again, who knows?
She hasn’t been exonerated at all! She is been sued by another woman working for Epstein to procure that woman for him, and now we know that a person was also accused stood up to her and she backed down. Hindsight is great isn’t it, I think he’s shown himself to be an arrogant buffoon who put himself in a vulnerable position by his actions, I think he took the settlement to make it go away in his Mother’s Jubilee year and now we know Her Majesty was more ill than they were letting on, normally he’s very self centred but he did love his Mother.
I think William is astute enough to read Megan and see her for what she is. He would avoid her like the Plague. Only young ‘Jack the Lad’ types (male scrubbers) of which the Etonian boys are prime examples, would play or involve themselves with such as Megan. William was concerned about Harry not having known her long enough to make such a decision. Harry really does think he’s in love with her.. Megan??
I'm from Chile live in California since 1983 and I have never met someone for the first time barefooted purposely Meghan Markle is plain tacky and full of herself
Happy New Year to all at Palace Confidential! It's a pleasure to watch Jo interview the guests, and Richard is always lovely to watch, very measured. If someone I didn't know greeted me in ripped jeans and bare feet for the first time, I wouldn't be impressed!
Maybe Meghan thought she was Cali Cool but my 20 year old granddaughter knows how to read a room better than Megs...appropriate attire and no.hugs when meeting future family.
I'm from the US, 67 years old. I can remember the fuss and bother about Charles relationship with Camilla, and the PR garbage that they wanted Diana as a 'pure and untouched' girl. I rolled my eyes then, fully believing her innocence was likely not a good fit for Charles. I don't think anybody treated Diana well, including Charles. I don't think she was a saint, I've read things that suggest she was a bit of a mental hot mess. BUT.... I want Charles to be happy. Happy people are better people, and being on the throne now, he needs to be his best person, and I definitely think Camilla helps Charles be his best person.
@@denisecaringer4726 It goes back generations. Princess Margaret wasn't allowed to marry the man she wanted. Being too rigid did nobody any favors, and spread trauma and misery out like ripples.
Tessa screams like a toddler throwing a tantrum when people don't agree with her. Quite funny actually. Someone should do a parody showing her screaming and dubbing her voice to say wonderful things about the Royal Family instead of the crap about whinge and that thing that holds on to him for dear life lest he try to break free. 😂😂 Please someone make us a video 😂😂😂
Richard is a pleasure to listen to. Tessa is that loud friend that you're excited to see, but always needs an early Uber home due to lack of control with spirits.
They couldn’t have reached agreement because **Meghan’s behavior had been the issue** from the start: sneaking photos of the children, bullying Charlotte, the staff, etc!
Why was it only Prince Andrew who was being charged and not Bill Clinton and all the other celebs who have been on the island. They knew that Andrew would settle because of the Queen’s Jubilee. The timing was worked out perfectly.
Actually.... the litigation was delayed for years and only came to light because he refused to cooperate with the FBI... The only way to enforce Andrews coperation was to make it public... The RF are the ones who chose the timing to shut Andy down, to clear the way for HMTQ jubilee....
I heard via a knowledgeable YT’er that the political Lefts pressured the FBI to gun for Andrew to avoid Clinton and others in that camp being targeted. That reasoning carries a ring of truth, IMO.
Also why was PA the only man who was targeted. There were many more men involved with those young women. What I don’t understand is these women could have left their debauched life styles- they weren’t chained up.
@@geraldinesmith4307 Yes they were... by threats to life and family... Epstein had his own goon squad... Ask the Florida Police Chief and the lawyers what epsteins threats were about! You think these kids could walk away? Totally wrong love...
Hello from Oz ! Sorry..sorry.. I know you all have to have a break but I do hang out for my early Friday morning session with you guys, and so disappointed that it is just a rehash this morning. To add more disappointment, the dread Dr Dunlop! Had to fast forward at that stage. Anyway dear Jo and Richard, hurry back to your usual fabulous interviews in 2023. Happy New Year to you all ❤
I adore the program! I only take issue with Tessa Dunlop. As a historian she should have a more even take on issues but does not! To me she goes out of her way to try to hold up points that really don’t reflect proven fact.
I honestly wish Andrew would not continue to be vilified over the I-AM-AN-ADMITTED-LIAR claims of Virginia (irony in names, no?). She earned money as a young woman to buy things she wanted and could not have otherwise afforded. Her own greed put her in situations beyond her years. Having successfully gone to the money well with her accusations once, she now figured to line her pockets again. Her credibility as victim has long since been lost.
It's so strange that Meghan thinks she can position herself as the easy going, friendly person compared to Catherine. We've seen Catherine laugh, dance, cheer, run, play tennis, coo over babies, hug and smile - we've seen few signs of life from Meghan.
Happy New Year - what a year 2022 was!! I sure hope we don't have as much of Tessa in the new year. Honestly I wish people would knock it off about Charles and Camilla. We can't look into the past and demand that they should have acted as though it was now or they are attacked. The expectations of the 70's were what they were at that time. How many people do any of us older than 30 know who didn't marry the love of their life, due to whatever circumstances -- and chose someone they felt was a good match, hoping it would all work out. And it didn't. I can think of several in my own circle of friends. Charles and Diana were completely incompatible, at a time when he was getting constant criticism for promoting issues like the environment - she was focused on attention and fashion. Even without Camilla there is a very low chance that the marriage would have lasted any longer than it did. Good for him that he eventually was able to marry the woman who truly loved and supported him. Diana was lovely in many ways and may well have found her feet and the right partner eventually - so its not to put her down, but......
The Charles and Diana story is a tragedy, but not of their making. The Charles and Camilla story is a great love story. That's the royal love story, not H &M.
I would not invite anyone to my home for dinner and answer the door without shoes and ripped jeans! I am American, and this is ridiculous! It shows a lack of respect and panache!
@@francishunt562 In her deluded mind - she thought she looked hip and cool. She wasn't reading the situation. She was trying to impose her version of California cool to English Royalty! I live on the East Coast of the United States, and I do not know ANYONE who would invite me to dinner and then answer the door with ripped jeans and shoeless! The racist card is her "get out of jail free" card. Just like Monopoly - she's playing a game.
these two people talking about Andrew are just ridiculous. Andrew fell on his sword because he found out his mother was dying. And they didn't want to have this hanging over her last months of her life. Plus if he even went to court he was never going to get a fair trial because the judge was in the Clintons back pocket. And does it really matter who paid the settlement and it wasn't as much as these two people are saying it was. At least this Charlotte person said something must have happened behind the scenes to have him turn around in a week to settle out of court.
Thanks Jo, My favourite photos were of the Queen two days before she died - "that my whole life". Of the Princess of Wales at the State dinner. She has stepped up for Charles III in a way Prince Philip knew she would. And George, Charlotte and Louis being schooled together, confident of their place in their adored great grandmother's plan.
Why can’t we just leave Andrew alone now. I’m sick to death of the constant mud slinging. You can be as amazed as you like but Andrew wanted to go to court. He stepped aside to protect his mother. Drop it now
I love all of your guests but cannot understand how you can have civilized, polite, and interesting people, then you throw that shrill, bossy, overbearing and rude shrew, Tessa, into the mix and people start turning you off. Even though we want to hear your discussion, we can't bear Tessa's pontificating. Are the listeners not important? Don't we make your ratings grow? I would think having polite guests matter-not guests that all agree-but ones that can share their views with a little grace and manners.
Mo.more Tessa, please, she is rude, biased, and manipulative. Her double standards to patronise the odious couple and to blame everyone else except them is absolutely unacceptable. No more Tessa, she must be cancelled by the same principles she applies to others. Tessa always gives a totally mediocre testimonial. She is ridiculous.
@ brigidine. Youth and beauty are temporary and will fade with time. Charles and Diana had nothing in common. He was more intellectual, concerned about the environment, involved with organic farming sustainability, the young people in his Prince’s Trust etc etc., she was interested in fashion, looking glamorous, being social with celebrity friends and being admired and loved by the public. I can’t see any common interests or compatibility. Even if Camilla didn’t exist they would have led separate lives she in London with her fashionable friends and he in Highgrove with his gardens, farming and other country pursuits which he loved. Not much of a marriage in any event.
Always a great show. Happy New Year to all, it is difficult to go forward into 2023 without the Queen. Feels like we are sadly leaving someone behind.🙁
Prince Andrew settled because he was told his mother was dying and they wanted HM to enjoy her Jubilee. Lady C says he did it for love of his mother. HM The Queen saw how supportive Camilla had been to her as well as her son Charles and Camilla had earned the right to be known as Queen. The word Consort will soon be dropped. H asked who decided his seating and was told "your Grandmother". The seamstress present at the fitting said it was That Woman who made Catherine cry. H tells his wife everything that was said and done so no one would want to have That Woman twist everything.
Lovely photos at the end, thank you. Love your show every week; Jo is a brilliant interviewer. It won't matter much to William if Camilla is Queen or not. By the time he ascends the throne, she will be very elderly (or perhaps will have already passed away), so Queen Camilla will not affect his reign, and her children are not related to him so her family will not really be a concern. MM has never understood that she will never be equal in status to Catherine.
As an American citizen of Norwegian descent I didn't realize Norwegians had a monarchy until I went to visit my home country. My point being We Norwegians are stoic STOIC... That means I never hugged my father or he never hugged me by entire years of growing up when he got to be really old and I was back home to visit he looked at me and said vilda I've never hugged you so I'm gonna give you a hug no we Norwegians show our love in different ways we do not show our love by hugging people a lot we are stoic it's true and I think there's some stoicism within the English monarchy as well. I have friends who are Italian and they're always yelling and hugging each other all the time and even I watched them and I kind of chuckle because we Norwegians aren't like that at all. However now that I'm aware of my upbringing I try to hug someone when I think they need a hug because there's nothing wrong with hugging it's a cultural thing is how we are brought up.
I love seeing King Charles wearing a kilt. He wears them so well. I adore William and feel confidant he will make a good king when the time comes. I only wish he would embrace the kilt for formal dress or... hiking the highlands. Does anyone wonder why women swoon over Major Johnny Thompson? Yes, he is a handsome man but it's when he stamps his foot giving his kilt a wee swirl that makes us feel faint.
Meg is #1 on the most annoying celebrity of 2022 list & Harry is listed at #2. He truly is always THE SPARE! Harry can't even get to the #1 slot on THAT list!!! 😀😃
WHO was that blonde woman next to Richard Eden? Couldn't have been Tess Dunlop, because she didn't elbow him in the ribs or club him over the head to keep him from finishing a sentence. 🤷🏽 Why the producers even bother with 'Tessa the O'Pressah' is beyond me. There must be more than just one Harkel defender in the entire UK. Get Scooby Doo the Harkle's lap dog. At least *he* is able to make a point without becoming hysterical, thrashing around in his chair, and waving his arms about like a football hooligan.
The U.S. does also operate under “innocent until proven guilty”. Of note, his accuser has subsequently backtracked on other another abuser, namely Alan Dershowitz.
As a New Zealander, and having heard how many millions Amber Heard paid just in legal fees, never mind the amount awarded, I wasn't surprised that Prince Andrew settled. But I think if Ms Giuffre had dropped action about Mr Dershowitz earlier, Andrew may have persisted to Court...
Surely Andrew had some guilt. BUT I think he was told to settle by the Firm. Who knows who pressured the Firm to settle ? There were bigger names than Andrew who flew on the Lolita Express , Bill Clinton comes to mind first and he definitely has form.
@@beverlyjohnson3025 Nothing would surprise me. Clearly there was a lot of pressure to make the whole thing go away. From whom is the question. I wonder how much it will take to make MM go away
Well I liked the ending of the pics of the royals throughout the year but to be fair the most hardest working royal is the Princess Royal which is Anne and you had none of her that's not nice
I know showing Harry and Meghan who left and not 1 pic of Princess Anne I actually find it shocking. She works the hardest without fuss over 300 engagements she has done this year and this lot couldn't put 1 pic of her up just for recognition yet they can put pics up of the 2 who left who lies who has slated our British monarchy so to who's job it was to post those pics from palace confidential my question is why????
Come on guys, how many times do we tell you in the comments to not have Dunlop on ? her croaking whinny voice makes me want to pull my ears off, please respect the wishes of your viewers and stick with current Royal reporters who are balanced and professional.
You call yourselves journalists? Really? It was stated that the Queen was made aware that the Harkles were taping to have something to present to Netflix. So everyone was trying to do whatever should be done to prevent the Harkle show. We also were told that Johnny was assigned to sit behind the Harkles so he could hear their conversations.
@@WeLiveByTheSea I think Lena refers to the picture of the extended royal family on the balcony from some event years ago that appears always at the beginning of Palace Confidential.
@@dorisschneider-coutandin9965 I understand that but I'm just not sure what she thinks it should be updated to. That was one of the last times the extended family were together on the balcony
I have lived in the U.S. for 20 years and from the onset realized this cultural trait of hugging upon meeting was something I would encounter repeatedly. Initially I disliked such an overly familiar advance, but eventually became accustomed to it. However someone in Meghan's position should have been made aware in advance and taught to observe the customs and accepted norms of the culture into which she had married, particularly as it related to the Royal Family!
Catherine I am an American. I do not like hugging people I am unfamiliar with. Friends, yes. Family, yes. Even long term acquaintances, sometime. Some I meet for the first time, nope. People I may never see again, hell no.
Catherine I am American and from a large city, no one hugs the first time they meet, maybe as time goes on if you become friends. It’s called boundaries and it is well known narcissists like Markle have none.
When one woman has heard a lot of great things about another woman, especially one that's a girlfriend of a close friend or family member, then it's customary in many countries for the 2 women to hug upon meeting. If, on the other hand, the new woman has already shown signs of being a troublemaker then the other woman (Kate in this case) should rightly be cautious. As for Americans being huggers, I think that's somewhat true. It's too bad we're so politically divided, since we're mostly a friendly lot.
Meghan also has a degree from Northwestern University (an excellent school in Illinois) in International Studies from their School of Communications. So she would have become very familiar with intercultural differences long before she met Harry. If she wasn't aware, she makes a poor ambassador for her alma mater.
No offense but I don’t want to look back on 2022! I want to just look forward to the coronation of King Charles and I hope it’s spectacular because I need something uplifting and memorable!
Yeah, hilarious thing is he expected everyone to believe it without question. The look on his face during the newsnight interview, was that he could hardly believe the impertinent questioning.
Thank you, Jo for all the wonderful videos this year. SO glad I found you. I enjoy your all of your guests.I live in the US in California and I've been to London once in 2008, amazing trip Take Care & Happy New Year 🎉🎆🎊🎇
Did you see the clip of the thanksging where megan wore green Sophie gave her a withering look but at the end of the service instead of waiting their turn to leave their seats and join the rest on the aisle megan pushedvthrough the chairs to get in front of Sophie Never have I ever seen that sort of behaviour harry should have known better and said something to her but he didnt he just followed her
I know palance confidential are playing highlights but having that woman Tessa Dublop on is NOT a highlight.. the woman is a maniac 🤬

WHEN are you going to NOT ask Tess Dunlap back?!!...The amount of people that simply DO NOT LIKE the woman is evident in the comment section!🇦🇺
Absolutely. I just can’t tolerate her. Fast forward thru her appearances. She is unnecessarily confrontational.
I'll timestamp it for everyone above.

Maybe Meghan thought she was Cali Cool but my 20 year old granddaughter knows how to read a room better than Megs...appropriate attire and no.hugs when meeting future family.
Very true! It’s as if that person didn’t respect me enough to bother putting her best foot forward. I would certainly have dressed up properly.
Exactly ... later when more familiar fair enough..but not the first time. Fake actress.
Harry’s mood changed like Will Smith’s did at the awards ceremony. They married the same kind of woman.
Seriously, those two couples are so much alike. It's eerie
I am surprised they did not include the update that the Queen was terminally ill with cancer. Perhaps that news is why Andrew suddenly settled.
The Queen's health was not really public knowledge at the time he settled. We knew she was poorly but not that she was losing a cancer battle.
I agree, the family knew and this maybe why the abrupt settlement.
PLease, hes a pedophile his mom knew it
@@tamwright5318 You knew her?
@@krnstc you’re right we the public didn’t know she had Cancer but you can bet the farm that the family knew.
Omg. Tess voice tone is like hearing nails down a chalkboard. Had to turn it off.
I'm from the US, 67 years old. I can remember the fuss and bother about Charles relationship with Camilla, and the PR garbage that they wanted Diana as a 'pure and untouched' girl. I rolled my eyes then, fully believing her innocence was likely not a good fit for Charles. I don't think anybody treated Diana well, including Charles. I don't think she was a saint, I've read things that suggest she was a bit of a mental hot mess. BUT.... I want Charles to be happy. Happy people are better people, and being on the throne now, he needs to be his best person, and I definitely think Camilla helps Charles be his best person.
Camilla is wonderful ❤️❤️🇬🇧❤️❤️
I think the same thing; I loved Diana but Camilla seems to be the wife (& supporter) that Charles truly need. They look happy together & I’m for that
I agree with your comments...THANKS for making them...well said! !
They were all victims, weren't they? Very sad all around.
@@denisecaringer4726 It goes back generations. Princess Margaret wasn't allowed to marry the man she wanted. Being too rigid did nobody any favors, and spread trauma and misery out like ripples.
Tessa screams like a toddler throwing a tantrum when people don't agree with her. Quite funny actually. Someone should do a parody showing her screaming and dubbing her voice to say wonderful things about the Royal Family instead of the crap about whinge and that thing that holds on to him for dear life lest he try to break free. 😂😂 Please someone make us a video 😂😂😂
A call for the Spitting Image team
@@Sandra-A I was just thinking the same thing!
Tessa and Shouty Shola are peas in a pod.
Richard is a pleasure to listen to. Tessa is that loud friend that you're excited to see, but always needs an early Uber home due to lack of control with spirits.
Oh no I was ready to turn it off..I thought it was Tessa..I can’t stand her voice
@@cherylmurphy2078 Tessa has some points but comes across very angry. Annoying to listen to.
Never excited to see Tessa
I agree I wish the TV company could find someone else. She is just awful. All that hand and arm waving trying to make a point. Ugh!
Really that’s not very nice
Tessa Dunlop is never a good addition to your panel.
She drives me mad!! She’s like an over excited schoolgirl, I don’t normally watch when she’s on. X
Agree. Strong words - in memoriam Jeremy Clarkson - come to my mind when I have to put up with her. Sorry, can't stand her.
And I'm afraid that I agree - Tessa Dunlop, unfortunately, drives me up the wall!!
I don't often agree with Dr.Tessa but like the fact that she stirs things up! 🇦🇺
Can’t stand the woman Tessa Dunlop ,she’s to opinionated and nasty
Could we please have more of the real royals for 2023, less of those traitors, I’ve had more than a belly full of those two to last a lifetime!!
I agree. The less attention given to them the better.
I love them telling their truth
Megan and Harry keep talking and exposing.
They couldn’t have reached agreement because **Meghan’s behavior had been the issue** from the start: sneaking photos of the children, bullying Charlotte, the staff, etc!
I've been waiting, but cannot watch obnoxious tessa.
I love the seating arrangement at St. Paul’s Cathedral review!!!
And it should be the same at the Coronation. Keep Judas and the missus out of camera range.
@@pamostman516 , agreed. They chose not to be working Royals...so no prime seating.
@@pamostman516 I wouldn't be surprised if they fail to show. They're not going to get an adoring public waiting for them.
No more Tessa! Please! Ever! 🙄🇨🇦
Why was it only Prince Andrew who was being charged and not Bill Clinton and all the other celebs who have been on the island. They knew that Andrew would settle because of the Queen’s Jubilee. The timing was worked out perfectly.
Actually....
the litigation was delayed for years and only came to light because he refused to cooperate with the FBI...
The only way to enforce Andrews coperation was to make it public...
The RF are the ones who chose the timing to shut Andy down, to clear the way for HMTQ jubilee....
I heard via a knowledgeable YT’er that the political Lefts pressured the FBI to gun for Andrew to avoid Clinton and others in that camp being targeted. That reasoning carries a ring of truth, IMO.
Andrew was sued, not charged,ostensibly because Virginia Guiffre’s lawyers judged they had the evidence to win.
Also why was PA the only man who was targeted. There were many more men involved with those young women. What I don’t understand is these women could have left their debauched life styles- they weren’t chained up.
@@geraldinesmith4307
Yes they were...
by threats to life and family...
Epstein had his own goon squad...
Ask the Florida Police Chief and the lawyers what epsteins threats were about!
You think these kids could walk away? Totally wrong love...
Hello from Oz ! Sorry..sorry.. I know you all have to have a break but I do hang out for my early Friday morning session with you guys, and so disappointed that it is just a rehash this morning. To add more disappointment, the dread Dr Dunlop! Had to fast forward at that stage. Anyway dear Jo and Richard, hurry back to your usual fabulous interviews in 2023. Happy New Year to you all ❤
Looking forward to 2023 Thursdays...hopefully, without Tessa Dunlop and more of Andrew Pierce.
Love Richard - always a reasonable, measured response. Tessa? Please no.
I agree
Love Richard, a real gentleman and wise! Not big fan of Tessa, it is really hard to listen to her.
Hope tessa doesnt ruin it as usual with her mouthy attitude, RICHARD THE VOICE OF REASON IS JUST A GENTLEMAN
I adore the program! I only take issue with Tessa Dunlop. As a historian she should have a more even take on issues but does not! To me she goes out of her way to try to hold up points that really don’t reflect proven fact.
I completely agree with you! She inevitably goes into a screaming fit 😳
I honestly wish Andrew would not continue to be vilified over the I-AM-AN-ADMITTED-LIAR claims of Virginia (irony in names, no?). She earned money as a young woman to buy things she wanted and could not have otherwise afforded. Her own greed put her in situations beyond her years. Having successfully gone to the money well with her accusations once, she now figured to line her pockets again. Her credibility as victim has long since been lost.
I love this show but always skip Tessa, she strikes me as a bully, know it all.
Just cannot listen to that shrew Tessa.
It's so strange that Meghan thinks she can position herself as the easy going, friendly person compared to Catherine. We've seen Catherine laugh, dance, cheer, run, play tennis, coo over babies, hug and smile - we've seen few signs of life from Meghan.
Happy New Year - what a year 2022 was!! I sure hope we don't have as much of Tessa in the new year. Honestly I wish people would knock it off about Charles and Camilla. We can't look into the past and demand that they should have acted as though it was now or they are attacked. The expectations of the 70's were what they were at that time. How many people do any of us older than 30 know who didn't marry the love of their life, due to whatever circumstances -- and chose someone they felt was a good match, hoping it would all work out. And it didn't. I can think of several in my own circle of friends. Charles and Diana were completely incompatible, at a time when he was getting constant criticism for promoting issues like the environment - she was focused on attention and fashion. Even without Camilla there is a very low chance that the marriage would have lasted any longer than it did. Good for him that he eventually was able to marry the woman who truly loved and supported him. Diana was lovely in many ways and may well have found her feet and the right partner eventually - so its not to put her down, but......
I agree. Times were different then. When you are blessed to live long enough, you can assess situations like these through different eyes.
The Charles and Diana story is a tragedy, but not of their making. The Charles and Camilla story is a great love story. That's the royal love story, not H &M.
I would not invite anyone to my home for dinner and answer the door without shoes and ripped jeans! I am American, and this is ridiculous! It shows a lack of respect and panache!
Trailer trash
Could you imagine her reaction someone meeting her with ripped jeans ? She'd invent some racist connotation.
@@francishunt562 In her deluded mind - she thought she looked hip and cool. She wasn't reading the situation. She was trying to impose her version of California cool to English Royalty! I live on the East Coast of the United States, and I do not know ANYONE who would invite me to dinner and then answer the door with ripped jeans and shoeless! The racist card is her "get out of jail free" card. Just like Monopoly - she's playing a game.
Tessa Dunlop. I’m out.
She’s atrocious isn’t she?
The seating plan at the Jubilee was genius.
Carefully planned, wouldn't go unnoticed even on a dim wit like Henry.
To Royal Confidential. Do you put Tessa on to torture us?
So, so bored of Harry and his wife. Just commenting here to register the tedium, then tuning out. I just don't want to hear this any more..
Rest 💞 in peace Queen Elizabeth II 🙏
these two people talking about Andrew are just ridiculous. Andrew fell on his sword because he found out his mother was dying. And they didn't want to have this hanging over her last months of her life. Plus if he even went to court he was never going to get a fair trial because the judge was in the Clintons back pocket. And does it really matter who paid the settlement and it wasn't as much as these two people are saying it was. At least this Charlotte person said something must have happened behind the scenes to have him turn around in a week to settle out of court.
why did you show photo of Harry and Meghan in the montage? They are no longer senior royals.
Watched this until Tessa. What an comfortable woman to watch. Gave up.
Thanks Jo, My favourite photos were of the Queen two days before she died - "that my whole life". Of the Princess of Wales at the State dinner. She has stepped up for Charles III in a way Prince Philip knew she would. And George, Charlotte and Louis being schooled together, confident of their place in their adored great grandmother's plan.
Tess is such an angry lady! She really needs to reel it back. Richard is so calm.
Less of Tessa next year hopefully.
Because she speaks what you don’t want to hear 😒
Please get rid of Tessa
Why can’t we just leave Andrew alone now. I’m sick to death of the constant mud slinging. You can be as amazed as you like but Andrew wanted to go to court. He stepped aside to protect his mother. Drop it now
I love all of your guests but cannot understand how you can have civilized, polite, and interesting people, then you throw that shrill, bossy, overbearing and rude shrew, Tessa, into the mix and people start turning you off. Even though we want to hear your discussion, we can't bear Tessa's pontificating.
Are the listeners not important? Don't we make your ratings grow? I would think having polite guests matter-not guests that all agree-but ones that can share their views with a little grace and manners.
Pleasure always when Richard Eden is on a big No for shouty Tessa
Mo.more Tessa, please, she is rude, biased, and manipulative. Her double standards to patronise the odious couple and to blame everyone else except them is absolutely unacceptable. No more Tessa, she must be cancelled by the same principles she applies to others. Tessa always gives a totally mediocre testimonial. She is ridiculous.
I agree!! It is one of the greatest love stories! Charles left a younger, beautiful woman, for the older woman he had always loved.
@ brigidine. Youth and beauty are temporary and will fade with time. Charles and Diana had nothing in common. He was more intellectual, concerned about the environment, involved with organic farming sustainability, the young people in his Prince’s Trust etc etc., she was interested in fashion, looking glamorous, being social with celebrity friends and being admired and loved by the public. I can’t see any common interests or compatibility. Even if Camilla didn’t exist they would have led separate lives she in London with her fashionable friends and he in Highgrove with his gardens, farming and other country pursuits which he loved. Not much of a marriage in any event.
Perhaps, but we in Britain still have the dichotomy of the head of the Church of England being a self confessed adulterer.
Always a great show. Happy New Year to all, it is difficult to go forward into 2023 without the Queen. Feels like we are sadly leaving someone behind.🙁
Prince Andrew settled because he was told his mother was dying and they wanted HM to enjoy her Jubilee. Lady C says he did it for love of his mother.
HM The Queen saw how supportive Camilla had been to her as well as her son Charles and Camilla had earned the right to be known as Queen. The word Consort will soon be dropped. H asked who decided his seating and was told "your Grandmother".
The seamstress present at the fitting said it was That Woman who made Catherine cry.
H tells his wife everything that was said and done so no one would want to have That Woman twist everything.
Greetings from Noosaville, Australia ... I always look forward to the interesting discussions, the photo montages and the cheeky Jo quips!
Lovely photos at the end, thank you. Love your show every week; Jo is a brilliant interviewer.
It won't matter much to William if Camilla is Queen or not. By the time he ascends the throne, she will be very elderly (or perhaps will have already passed away), so Queen Camilla will not affect his reign, and her children are not related to him so her family will not really be a concern.
MM has never understood that she will never be equal in status to Catherine.
Oh no that awful Tessa
As an American citizen of Norwegian descent I didn't realize Norwegians had a monarchy until I went to visit my home country. My point being We Norwegians are stoic STOIC... That means I never hugged my father or he never hugged me by entire years of growing up when he got to be really old and I was back home to visit he looked at me and said vilda I've never hugged you so I'm gonna give you a hug no we Norwegians show our love in different ways we do not show our love by hugging people a lot we are stoic it's true and I think there's some stoicism within the English monarchy as well. I have friends who are Italian and they're always yelling and hugging each other all the time and even I watched them and I kind of chuckle because we Norwegians aren't like that at all. However now that I'm aware of my upbringing I try to hug someone when I think they need a hug because there's nothing wrong with hugging it's a cultural thing is how we are brought up.
I love seeing King Charles wearing a kilt. He wears them so well. I adore William and feel confidant he will make a good king when the time comes. I only wish he would embrace the kilt for formal dress or... hiking the highlands. Does anyone wonder why women swoon over Major Johnny Thompson? Yes, he is a handsome man but it's when he stamps his foot giving his kilt a wee swirl that makes us feel faint.
Thanks to all for a great year of videos. Happy New Year🎉🎊🎆
Meg is #1 on the most annoying celebrity of 2022 list & Harry is listed at #2. He truly is always THE SPARE! Harry can't even get to the #1 slot on THAT list!!! 😀😃
Always looking forward to Thursdays. Thank you to Jo, Richard and other panel members for the joy they bring. For 2023, no harry and Meghan please.
Happy New Year to everyone.
Jo was absolutely right -- Charles and Camilla's relationship has proven to be a great love story.
Involving betrayal and lies. Whichever way it's portrayed, Charles and Camilla didn't come out of it very well.
@@francishunt562 Past ! Get over it
WHO was that blonde woman next to Richard Eden? Couldn't have been Tess Dunlop, because she didn't elbow him in the ribs or club him over the head to keep him from finishing a sentence. 🤷🏽 Why the producers even bother with 'Tessa the O'Pressah' is beyond me. There must be more than just one Harkel defender in the entire UK. Get Scooby Doo the Harkle's lap dog. At least *he* is able to make a point without becoming hysterical, thrashing around in his chair, and waving his arms about like a football hooligan.
Time hasn't changed for the better in a lot of respects so I love that the queen and the institution doesn't change that much.
In my opinion if he had gone to court in NY , he would have done not well at all. The law /system in NY is brutal.
The U.S. does also operate under “innocent until proven guilty”. Of note, his accuser has subsequently backtracked on other another abuser, namely Alan Dershowitz.
As a New Zealander, and having heard how many millions Amber Heard paid just in legal fees, never mind the amount awarded, I wasn't surprised that Prince Andrew settled. But I think if Ms Giuffre had dropped action about Mr Dershowitz earlier, Andrew may have persisted to Court...
@@dianawhyte4631 , I agree.
If he had gone to court in LA California he may have gotten off.
@@dianawhyte4631 Jonny Depp won in an American court.
Happy New Year PC! 🎉 Never miss your vid’s they are awesome and insightful. CHEERS to more in 2023!
Finally! Here you are! I‘ve been waiting for Palace Confidential so hard! 🙏🏼🥂👍🏼Greetings from Salzburg🇦🇹
Palace Confidential Is One Of Program’s I Look Forward Too. From the 🇺🇸
Hello, me too am watching from Salzburg ❣️
Hugs to you from Australia 💖💖💖 Like you, I always enjoy this program on You Tube each week.
Surely Andrew had some guilt. BUT I think he was told to settle by the Firm. Who knows who pressured the Firm to settle ? There were bigger names than Andrew who flew on the Lolita Express , Bill Clinton comes to mind first and he definitely has form.
Allegedly, there are rumors on my side of the pond that Harry's first wife was involved with Epstein and Prince Andrew.
@@beverlyjohnson3025 Nothing would surprise me. Clearly there was a lot of pressure to make the whole thing go away. From whom is the question. I wonder how much it will take to make MM go away
Oh just calm down Tessa, you give me anxiety when you get worked up!😥
Shouty Shola vibes
🎉 Dr Tessa Dunlop, that about ridige. She is the definition of rigid.
Well I liked the ending of the pics of the royals throughout the year but to be fair the most hardest working royal is the Princess Royal which is Anne and you had none of her that's not nice
So true!
There was no need to put the ex-royals so much. It would have been nicer with Princess Royal.
I know showing Harry and Meghan who left and not 1 pic of Princess Anne I actually find it shocking. She works the hardest without fuss over 300 engagements she has done this year and this lot couldn't put 1 pic of her up just for recognition yet they can put pics up of the 2 who left who lies who has slated our British monarchy so to who's job it was to post those pics from palace confidential my question is why????
Happy New Year from NB Canada. Looking forward to more great videos in 2023!
Come on guys, how many times do we tell you in the comments to not have Dunlop on ? her croaking whinny voice makes me want to pull my ears off, please respect the wishes of your viewers and stick with current Royal reporters who are balanced and professional.
Correction: America has become a Banana Republic and this would have become a circus.
lt breaks my heart to agree with you. l'm 86y-o and feel like an alien in my own nation.
You call yourselves journalists? Really? It was stated that the Queen was made aware that the Harkles were taping to have something to present to Netflix. So everyone was trying to do whatever should be done to prevent the Harkle show. We also were told that Johnny was assigned to sit behind the Harkles so he could hear their conversations.
If Charles and Camilla had married and had children, I think those children would have been better behaved than Harry!!
I love Tom Bowers passive aggressive “Opera” 😂😂😂
I can’t stand Tessa 🤮🤮🤮
yhis is hard to watch. you have got to be kidding to go long with anything tessa says. why is she so angry
Before you watch, read the comments to see who is on the panel. 👀 needless to say, See you next time. I will pass on this one.
That's what I do.
Happy New Year to everyone!
Oh God it's Tessa. Bye.
Love Tom Bower‘s socks and his books.
May you please update the picture of the royals on the balcony?
They "may"😆 But I'm not sure they will.😉
Update it in what way? There hasn't been a balcony appearance since the jubilee that I recall
@@WeLiveByTheSea I think Lena refers to the picture of the extended royal family on the balcony from some event years ago that appears always at the beginning of Palace Confidential.
@@dorisschneider-coutandin9965 I understand that but I'm just not sure what she thinks it should be updated to. That was one of the last times the extended family were together on the balcony
Maybe some "airbrushing out" needed?
Happy New Year to you ALL, and your viewers!
I have lived in the U.S. for 20 years and from the onset realized this cultural trait of hugging upon meeting was something I would encounter repeatedly. Initially I disliked such an overly familiar advance, but eventually became accustomed to it. However someone in Meghan's position should have been made aware in advance and taught to observe the customs and accepted norms of the culture into which she had married, particularly as it related to the Royal Family!
Catherine I am an American. I do not like hugging people I am unfamiliar with. Friends, yes. Family, yes. Even long term acquaintances, sometime. Some I meet for the first time, nope. People I may never see again, hell no.
Catherine I am American and from a large city, no one hugs the first time they meet, maybe as time goes on if you become friends. It’s called boundaries and it is well known narcissists like Markle have none.
When one woman has heard a lot of great things about another woman, especially one that's a girlfriend of a close friend or family member, then it's customary in many countries for the 2 women to hug upon meeting. If, on the other hand, the new woman has already shown signs of being a troublemaker then the other woman (Kate in this case) should rightly be cautious.
As for Americans being huggers, I think that's somewhat true. It's too bad we're so politically divided, since we're mostly a friendly lot.
Meghan also has a degree from Northwestern University (an excellent school in Illinois) in International Studies from their School of Communications. So she would have become very familiar with intercultural differences long before she met Harry. If she wasn't aware, she makes a poor ambassador for her alma mater.
Did she graduate. She claimed a major and No. West gfdifdnt offer it. That was reported over here. So I don't really know.
No offense but I don’t want to look back on 2022! I want to just look forward to the coronation of King Charles and I hope it’s spectacular because I need something uplifting and memorable!
The not sweating and the Pizza Express story was a disaster
Yeah, hilarious thing is he expected everyone to believe it without question. The look on his face during the newsnight interview, was that he could hardly believe the impertinent questioning.
Thank you, Jo for all the wonderful videos this year. SO glad I found you. I enjoy your all of your guests.I live in the US in California and I've been to London once in 2008, amazing trip
Take Care &
Happy New Year 🎉🎆🎊🎇
Tessa is so corny
Tessa, you do not make sense .
Richard Eden is the BEST OF THE BEST. But the USA legal system is now no different from THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES.
Tessa Dunlop 5.51 to 11.48. Switch off or skip.
Did you see the clip of the thanksging where megan wore green Sophie gave her a withering look but at the end of the service instead of waiting their turn to leave their seats and join the rest on the aisle megan pushedvthrough the chairs to get in front of Sophie Never have I ever seen that sort of behaviour harry should have known better and said something to her but he didnt he just followed her
Thanks so much for all your great videos over the past year. I've thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to more in 2023.
Elizabeth and Philip were the most beautiful love story ever .❤❤
