fWotD Episode 3376: Old Frisian Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 2 August 2026, is Old Frisian.Old Frisian was a West Germanic language spoken between the late 13th century and the end of the 16th century. It was spoken by Frisians who comprised a loose confederacy along the North Sea coast from around modern-day Bruges in Belgium to the Weser River in modern-day northwestern Germany. The vast majority of the surviving literature is composed of legal documents and charters, though some poetry, historiographies, and religious documents are attested as well. An early standard language for the Frisians, surviving texts show remarkable uniformity across time and space. Grammatically, Old Frisian generally marked for four cases, three genders, and two tenses, though more complex grammatical functions could be achieved through periphrastic constructions, where other words may be added to create different grammatical meanings. Its vocabulary had a variety of origins including loanwords from Celtic and Slavic languages. Latin loanwords and calques were relatively common as a result of Christianization. Word order in Old Frisian was varied; although its typical constituent word order was subject–object–verb, many different word orders are attested in the surviving texts. Old Frisian is the common ancestor of all modern Frisian languages except for the Insular North Frisian languages, with which Old Frisian shares a common ancestor called Pre–Old Frisian or Proto-Frisian. Old Frisian was closely related to and shared common characteristics with the forms of English and Low German spoken during the period. Scholars have argued that the term "Old Frisian" is somewhat misleading, since Old Frisian was contemporary with other Germanic languages during their "Middle" period, such as Middle English and Middle High German. Although earlier scholarship contended that Frisian and English had a closer relationship to each other than to Low German, this is no longer the prevailing view. By the 15th century, use of Old Frisian had begun to decline as the language was gradually displaced by Middle Low German as the language of trade in the North Sea. In the mid-16th century, a century-long internal conflict between two competing factions led to Frisia's subjugation by the Duchy of Saxony, which further displaced the language with Early Modern Dutch as the language of administration. No original Old Frisian compositions occur at all after 1450 and the last known work in the language was created in 1547, though writings made shortly thereafter suggest the Old Frisian used was probably already archaic by that point. Around the turn of the 17th century, the language is considered to have fully evolved into Middle Frisian, where it persisted mostly as a rural vernacular language.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:11 UTC on Sunday, 2 August 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Old Frisian on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kevin.

Czy literatura może ocalić świat, który bezpowrotnie odszedł? W drugim odcinku nowego cyklu podcastów „O książkach” Natalia Szerszeń rozmawiała z poetą, krytykiem i historykiem sztuki Janem Michalskim o jego książce „Duchy opiekuńcze i przygodne”, wydanej nakładem Teologii Politycznej (Warszawa 2025). Czy „Duchy opiekuńcze i przygodne” są przede wszystkim książką o Śląsku, czy raczej opowieścią o pamięci, tożsamości i duchowym wymiarze codzienności? W jaki sposób pejzaż staje się zapisem ludzkich losów i doświadczeń? Jaką rolę w literaturze odgrywają detal, zachwyt i piękno? Dlaczego świat ciężkiej pracy, rodzinnych historii i lokalnej pamięci nie wyklucza refleksji metafizycznej, lecz ku niej prowadzi? Jak współistnieją w tej prozie różne tradycje, języki i tożsamości, tworząc wielowarstwowy obraz Śląska? Na te pytania Natalia Szerszeń szuka odpowiedzi w rozmowie z Janem Michalskim wokół zbioru jego opowiadań „Duchy opiekuńcze i przygodne”, wydanego nakładem Teologii Politycznej (Warszawa 2025).

Nie jest to jakieś oryginalne pytanie i trochę biłam się z myślami, czy w ogóle je zadawać (bo pewnie albo już gdzieś o tym mówiłeś, albo po prostu można wywnioskować z różnego rodzaju recenzji), ale zawsze mnie to ciekawi u osób siedzących w grozie: Jakie są Twoje ulubione tropy i motywy (a może jakiś cały podgatunek) w horrorach? A których nie lubisz lub uważasz za najbardziej oklepane lub nadużywane?Jakub na IG:1. Uwaga trudne, trzeba pomyśleć: Dostajesz pełną kontrolę nad dowolną wybraną przez siebie horrorową franczyzą (niekoniecznie filmową), możesz zrobić z nią co chcesz: nowa odsłona, reboot, remake, ignorujesz wszystkie sequele i kręcisz kontynuację oryginalnego filmu – co chcesz, możesz wszystko. ALE! Jest jeden haczyk. W ramach swoich działań musisz zrobić z tą franczyzą również jedną rzecz, która na sto procent wkurzy fandom. Czy to będzie uśmiercenie kluczowej postaci, sequel dziejący się w kosmosie czy przylepienie do dzieła łatki posthorroru – masz pełną dowolność, ogranicza Cię tylko własna kreatywność.Pytanie oczywiście brzmi: jaką franczyzę wybierasz, co nowego w jej ramach robisz i za co prawdziwi fani Cię znienawidzą?Paweł na FB:1.

Czy uważasz, że lepiej nagrywać na czymkolwiek, ale nagrywać, czy zadbać o to, żeby sprzęt dawał jakość i niezawodność?3. O, jeszcze jedno: podcasting a YouTube i Spotify. Nie uważasz, że te platformy niszczą piękną ideę niezależności podcastingu i próbują zawłaszczyć go jako coś, co jest ściśle związane z konkretną platformą?

 New royal financial figures have sparked an unexpected question: is Prince William now wealthier than the King? We explain the £1.2 billion Duchy of Cornwall, why William's fortune isn't quite what it seems, and why critics say King Charles' “slimmed-down monarchy” is costing more than ever. Plus, Piers Morgan weighs in on Prince Harry's expected return to Britain, and new reports claim Netflix cameras could accompany the Sussexes during their visit.Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor.

King Charles has paid a £12.9 million tax bill, but is the royal tax system really fair? In this episode of Mark and Pete, we examine the King's personal tax payment, royal finances, the Duchy of Lancaster, the Sovereign Grant and the rather peculiar constitutional arrangement whereby the monarch pays tax voluntarily, rather than because HMRC has sent a brown envelope marked, in effect, “Your Majesty, kindly cough up.”King Charles reportedly paid £12.9 million in personal tax for 2024–25, up from £11.7 million the previous year, placing him among Britain's largest individual taxpayers. On the face of it, that is an enormous contribution. Most of us would consider it a fairly robust tax bill, possibly requiring a sit-down and a restorative biscuit. Yet the monarch is not legally required to pay income tax or capital gains tax. The payment is voluntary, following arrangements introduced by Queen Elizabeth II in 1993.So is this admirable royal transparency, or does it merely expose how unusual the monarchy's financial privileges remain?We look at the Duchy of Lancaster, the historic estate that provides the King with private income, and ask how royal earnings differ from the publicly funded Sovereign Grant. We also examine the cost of maintaining royal palaces, the refurbishment of Buckingham Palace, royal engagements, official duties and the argument that the monarchy provides Britain with tourism, diplomacy, continuity and national identity.But there are awkward questions. The published tax figure does not reveal King Charles's entire income, total wealth or effective tax rate. Nor does it show exactly what deductions were made for official expenditure. We know the size of the cheque, then, but not the whole calculation behind it. Transparency has opened the curtains, though perhaps not yet the windows.Should the King be taxed under exactly the same laws as every other citizen? Is voluntary taxation sufficient in a modern democracy? Does the monarchy cost Britain too much, or does it deliver value that cannot be measured simply in pounds and pence?Mark and Pete discuss King Charles's £12.9 million tax bill, royal wealth, constitutional privilege, public funding, fairness and whether the Crown has genuinely rendered unto Caesar, despite being Caesar's nearest surviving British relative.

King Charles and Prince William have revealed their personal tax bills for the first time, in a historic moment for royal financial transparency. But the disclosures come as the Sovereign Grant rises to £132.1 million, with core royal household funding set to double in the next three years.This week on The Royals, Kate Mansey is joined by Katie Tarrant, Whitehall correspondent for The Sunday Times, to unpack the Sovereign Grant report. They discuss why the King and Queen will not move back into Buckingham Palace after its £369 million reservicing programme, how William is responding to scrutiny over Dartmoor Prison rental income, and what the accounts reveal about Duchy wealth, public funding and value for money. Is the Palace's new transparency push enough to answer critics – or does it simply open the door to more questions about royal money?Is this a new era of royal transparency?

Fresh questions are being raised about Meghan Markle's business ventures after reports claimed she may be earning commissions from fashion purchases linked to outfits worn at Invictus Games events. Critics are asking whether commercial activity and charitable causes are becoming too closely intertwined, while sources suggest Prince Harry is uncomfortable with the attention.Meanwhile, new reports claim Harry and Meghan are frustrated by the growing relationship between Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie, and Prince William. Is it family loyalty, future planning, or simply palace reality?We also examine what appears to be a changing role for the York sisters. After missing several high-profile royal events, questions are growing about where Beatrice and Eugenie fit into William's vision for a slimmer monarchy. Plus, a new Ipsos poll shows support for the monarchy at its lowest level in more than thirty years, especially among younger Britons. William's quiet Duchy visits reveal how he is preparing for the future, while a surprising new debate asks whether Harriet Phillips is becoming the next royal fashion influence—and whether some believe she is borrowing a page from Catherine's style book.Palace Intrigue is a daily British royal family podcast covering King Charles, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Kate Middleton and the House of Windsor.

fWotD Episode 3319: Siege of Hennebont Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 6 June 2026, is Siege of Hennebont.The siege of Hennebont took place between late May and late June 1342 when the forces of Charles of Blois conducted an unsuccessful siege of the fortified port of Hennebont, commanded by Joanna of Montfort. The conflict was a part of the Breton Civil War, a dynastic dispute between two claimants to the Duchy of Brittany which had broken out the previous year. A complicating factor was the pre-existing Hundred Years' War between France and England. Philip VI of France was supporting Charles of Blois, his nephew; Edward III of England had promised military assistance to Joanna, the wife of the rival claimant, John of Montfort. A truce between France and England was in place when the siege started, but it expired in June.Charles's French army overran eastern Brittany and captured John of Montfort. Joanna took up the cause and concentrated her resources in Hennebont. In late May 1342 Charles moved on the town. On arrival, part of his army advanced against orders and attacked some of the town's defenders who were formed up outside its gate. More troops were pulled into this fight before the French were pushed back in a disorderly retreat. The Montfortists pursued, inflicting many casualties and burning the French camp. Two days later the French launched a series of better-planned assaults, but all were repulsed. The main French force moved on, leaving a detachment to attempt to starve the town into surrender. In late June, after a small English force had reinforced the town by sea, this too left. In July Charles was strongly reinforced and returned; the Montfortists abandoned Hennebont and redeployed further west, hoping for English reinforcements.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:57 UTC on Saturday, 6 June 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Siege of Hennebont on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm long-form Ruth.

The cost of growing our food is still higher than before the conflict in the Middle East. To counteract some of that, the government's laid out a "Great British Savings" bonanza aimed at making life a little less expensive for everyone. There'll be cuts to tariffs on more than 100 food imports sold in supermarkets and fuel duty on red diesel will be reduced by a third. We visit a strawberry grower in Kent to find out how they're coping with rising costs.A new trade deal has been announced with a group of six states in the Gulf, including Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. It'll remove export tariffs and open the door to market expansion. We speak to the International Chamber of Commerce and the NFU for their reaction. The Climate Change Committee has published a new report about the consequences of a 2% rise in global temperatures and what the UK needs to do about it. We ask what it means for farmers.A fifth of the Duchy of Cornwall's property, owned by the Prince of Wales, could be sold in the next 10 years to help invest £500m into tackling housing and nature crises. The Duchy has a large number of tenant farmers and is introducing a new tenancy agreement, which concentrates on regenerative farming. All week we're celebrating British flowers. We visit a commercial grower in Norfolk which grows 35 million tulips every year and supplies most of the UK's leading supermarkets. It's invested five million pounds in new technology so it can stay competitive and compete with imported blooms. We also visit a flower grower who is trying to connect local producers and florists.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

As scrutiny grows over royal wealth, property and privilege, Roya Nikkhah and Kate Mansey ask whether Prince William is becoming more transparent about royal finances – or being pushed into openness. They examine new details about the Prince and Princess of Wales's annual rent at Forest Lodge, The Sunday Times's reporting on William's tax bill, and the ripple effect of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's peppercorn rent deal at Royal Lodge. Will Humphries, southwest and countryside correspondent forThe Times, joins to explain his investigation into changes at the Duchy of Cornwall, from tenant farmers in Devon to William's plans to sell off part of the estate and invest in housing, renewable energy and communities.Get in touch: theroyals@thetimes.co.ukImage: GettyProducer: Robert WallaceExecutive Producer: Priyanka DeladiaRead more: Inside the £1bn property empires of King Charles and William Hosted on Acast.

Researchers at Leeds University say a new study shows deliberate burning of moorland for grouse shooting leads to an additional half a million people, on average, being exposed to unsafe levels of particulate pollution - that's on top of the pollution cause by wildfires. The study was co-authored by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, which is calling for a licensing scheme for controlled burning to be brought in for England. In Scotland a plan to bring in licensing was temporarily put on hold by the Scottish Government in the aftermath of extensive wildfires last summer. Moorland managers argue that wildfires cause more pollution than controlled burning - and that controlled burning reduces the risk of wildfires.A fifth of the Duchy of Cornwall's property, owned by the Prince of Wales, could be sold in the next 10 years to help invest £500m into tackling housing and nature crises.

In this episode of Queens Podcast, we dive into the chaotic early life of Caroline of Brunswick, the future Princess of Wales and one of the most controversial royal figures of the Regency era. Raised in isolation in the Duchy of Brunswick, Caroline's childhood was anything but typical—marked by family dysfunction, social restriction, and a deep craving for attention that would follow her into adulthood. But everything changes when she's chosen to marry her cousin, George IV, the scandal-prone Prince of Wales. From a disastrous first meeting to a wedding day filled with drunken chaos, this royal marriage starts off on the worst possible foot. If you love royal history, scandals, and messy marriages, this is just the beginning.

It's Monday, April 20th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Russia strikes Ukrainian Baptist church killing pastor at prayer meeting Russia struck a Baptist church in the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia during a prayer meeting, killing at least one person, a minister, and injuring at least eight others, reports The Christian Post. The Embassy of Ukraine in the U.S. gave the casualty figures in a public statement issued while rescue workers were still on the scene, identifying the targeted building as The House of the Gospel Church, which had served the community for years, according to the Baptist Press. The embassy called the strike a deliberate attack on people of faith who had gathered peacefully to pray. Promoters of a documentary series entitled “A Faith Under Siege” on Russia's persecution of Christians, identified the man killed as Ruslan Utyuzh, a minister at the bombed church. Utyuzh is survived by his wife and two children. Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.” Despite the attack, the congregation held services as normal the following morning with a large turnout, and 200 people came forward to be baptized. Iran reverses course on reopening Strait of Hormuz President Donald Trump said Iran "can't blackmail us" after the country announced they were reimposing restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday morning, reports Fox News. He added, "We have very good conversations going on. It's working out very well. They got a little cute, as they have been doing for 47 years, and nobody ever took them on. We took them on. They have no Navy. They have no Air Force. They have no leaders. They have no nothing. …  It is regime change." Despite Iran wanting to close the strait again, Trump said in the Oval Office that negotiations are "going actually along very well." Trump also cited how oil tankers are now coming to U.S. ports to fuel up, including in Texas and Louisiana. President Trump said, "We're taking a tough stand. They've killed a lot of people. A lot of our people have been killed. A lot of your fellow soldiers have been killed over the years by Iran.” He cited how he ordered the strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, the commander of Iran's elite Quds Force, in January 2020. Trump described Soleimani as the "father of the roadside bomb." He explained, "When you see soldiers with no legs, with no arms or face that's been smashed, that was Soleimani, it was Iran that did that. So we have a much different view on it than other presidents. They've gotten away with murder for 47 years. They're not getting away with it anymore." While Iran wants to keep enriched uranium, Trump won't allow that Iran had sought an agreement allowing them to “down-blend” their enriched uranium. According to Axios, “A top priority for the Trump administration is ensuring Iran can't access the stockpile of nearly 4,400 pounds of enriched uranium buried in its underground nuclear facilities, in particular the 992 pounds enriched to 60% purity.” The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation noted that most commercial nuclear power plants use 3 to 5 percent enriched uranium compared to 90 percent enriched uranium for nuclear weapons. Before the outbreak of the war, U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff told Fox News that in March, Iranian negotiators boasted to him that they had enough enriched uranium to build 11 nuclear weapons. He explained that the Iranian negotiators apparently said “they had the inalienable right to enrich all their nuclear fuel that they possessed. We, of course, responded that the president feels we have the inalienable right to stop you dead in your tracks.” The Wall Street Journal reported that the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz initiated last Monday was costing Iran up to $435 million a day, including $276 million in lost exports. The blockade, coupled with weeks of air strikes from the U.S. and Israel, which devastated Iran's steel and petrochemical facilities, has the country's economy on the brink of collapse. Homosexual “dads” mock their surrogate-born baby for crying “mama” A homosexual male couple has triggered outrage across the internet after posting a video of themselves mocking their surrogate-born baby for crying “mama,” reports LifeSiteNews.com. Country music singer and songwriter Shane McAnally, a homosexual, posted the video of his faux “husband” Michael Baum lying on a couch, playfully bouncing the baby on his stomach as he asks, “Who do you want, Dada or Pop?” BAUM: “Who do you want Dada or Pop?” BABY: “Mama, ma.” BAUM: “Do you want Dada or Pop?” BABY: (fusses) BAUM: “Who do you want? Dada or Pop?” BABY: “Mom.” BAUM: ”Nope. Do you want dada? You want pop? BABY: “Mom.” BAUM: “No way, Jose. There is no mama.” BABY: (starts crying) BAUM: “So sorry. You have Dada and Pop.” McANALLY: “Two choices.” BABY: (cries more) BAUM: “No Mama.” Oddly enough, they posted that video on line. Officials with Surrogacy Concern, an organization that seeks to end the evils of surrogacy, wondered, “Who films their child crying and uploads it to the internet? And who subjects a child to their pathetic vanity like this? Babies need their birth mothers.” And children's rights activist Chris Elston, better known as “Billboard Chris,” wrote, “These men laugh as the baby cries and says ‘ma ma ma.' They think it's funny because ‘there is no mama,' This baby was designed to never have a mother so that two men could satisfy their selfish desires. It's impossible for a normal person to watch this without instinctual disgust.” In Matthew 19:4-5, Jesus asked, ““Haven't you read, that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,' and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?” Anniversary of death of Martin Luther's aid who translated Bible And finally, on April 20, 1558, Johannes Bugenhagen, the prominent Lutheran reformer and pastor who helped Martin Luther translate the Bible, died. He said, ““The church is not a place but a people, gathered by the Word of God and sustained by faith.” Bugenhagen also explained that “True worship is not found in outward ceremonies, but in a heart that trusts in God's grace.” The Lutheran reformer introduced the Protestant Reformation in the Duchy of Pomerania and Denmark in the 16th century.  After the death of Luther in 1546, Bugenhagen kindly took care of Luther's widow, Katharina von Bora, and Luther's children. Proverbs 21:21 says, “Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, April 20th, in the year of our Lord 2026. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  Plus, you can get the Generations app through Google Play or The App Store.

Stepping away from the Sussexes, this episode looks at a fresh round of royal side stories, starting with new speculation over Sarah Ferguson's whereabouts and claims she may be on a private healing retreat. We also examine reports of King Charles taking a harder line on Prince Andrew, warnings that Andrew still poses reputational risks to the monarchy, and renewed scrutiny over Prince William's Duchy income from HMP Dartmoor.

On today's episode, we explore how fashion has become one of the Royal Family's most effective tools of influence — with Catherine, Princess of Wales at the centre of that strategy.Drawing on insights from Justine Picardie, royal fashion is described as “soft power,” a visual language used to project stability and continuity during uncertain times. One recent example: Catherine's gold gown and Lover's Knot tiara at a state banquet, reinforcing tradition and authority without saying a word.Also today, Sophie is earning a new nickname among royal watchers — “Super Sophie” — as her workload and visibility continue to grow.We look at actress Hannah Waddingham's increasing presence around royal events, including her work with Prince William's Earthshot Prize and her standout performance at the Royal Variety Performance, which reportedly prompted Catherine to say, “Amazing, that was fantastic.”After the break, we dig into the money: Prince William received $30.9 million from the Duchy of Cornwall in 2025, while residents in Poundbury raise concerns about upkeep.And finally, a rare glimpse inside royal life as Queen Elizabeth's private apartments at the Palace of Holyroodhouse are set to open to the public for the first time, offering what curators describe as “a rare glimpse into the personal, ‘lived-in' spaces” of the late Queen.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

On today's episode, we look at the growing narrative around Catherine, Princess of Wales as a stabilising force inside the Royal Family — and the critics who aren't buying the “Wonderful Kate” storyline.Megyn Kelly defends media scrutiny during Catherine's health absence, arguing, “[Kate] could have remained a commoner like she was… that ship sailed when you joined this wacky family.” Meanwhile, Morrissey resurfaces as a long-time critic of both Catherine and the monarchy, with sharply worded comments dating back years.Then, attention turns to Carole Middleton, increasingly viewed as a trusted insider. Royal author Robert Jobson says, “The Middletons aren't guests any more. They stopped being guests a long time ago. They're family.” Commentators point to her discretion, reliability, and growing visibility alongside senior royals as key to her rising influence.We also examine a provocative argument from historian Anna Whitelock, who suggests the idea of a “royal family” should be scrapped entirely, limiting the monarchy to the King and his heir.Plus, a look at the royal finances: King Charles the Third remains the wealthiest family member with an estimated net worth of up to $2.4 billion, while Prince William's Duchy of Cornwall continues to generate tens of millions annually.And finally, renewed calls from former British colonies for formal apologies and reparations tied to the legacy of slavery and colonial rule.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

The Limburg War of Succession (1283–1288) was a brutal, five-year power struggle triggered by the death of Waleran IV, Duke of Limburg, and his only daughter, Irmgard. Since they left no direct heirs, the strategic and wealthy Duchy of Limburg (located in modern-day Belgium and the Netherlands) became the ultimate prize for the regional superpowers of the time. And Cologne in the middle of it.

Speculation is building around King Charles's U.S. visit, with fresh chatter suggesting some would love to turn the occasion into a made-for-television royal reunion featuring Harry and Meghan. Deep Crown is not buying it — but he does have thoughts on how quickly both Charles and William would shut that idea down.Plus: reports of fresh tension between William and Camilla over how hard the King should be working during treatment, Charles prepares to deliver the King's Speech on May 13, Camilla has a very familiar married moment in Cornwall, and William faces criticism over Duchy farm sales even as he visits troops in Wiltshire.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

Prince William's carefully managed public image is taking a hit after a veteran royal photographer reportedly described the future king in blunt terms — including calling him the “c-word.” According to reporting picked up by columnist Daniela Elser, photographers swapping stories while waiting outside the Wales family's Norfolk home claimed William can have a notoriously short fuse behind the scenes. One photographer allegedly said the prince regularly tells him to “f--- off,” painting a stark contrast to William's polished public persona.We also look at the online sniping over Princess Catherine's latest Commonwealth Day outfit, criticism that her wardrobe is becoming “predictable,” the approval of a major 2,500-home Duchy of Cornwall housing development tied to William, and a surprising claim that palace aides once explored making Prince Harry the governor-general of Canada during the negotiations over his royal exit.Plus: Meghan Markle's pricey Sydney retreat sparks backlash online as critics question the cost of the duchess's “ultimate girls' weekend.”Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

The Princess of Wales joined Bollywood dancers and sampled Indian sweets during a lively visit to Leicester's Golden Mile, where she was welcomed with flowers and cheers from crowds celebrating the culture of the British Indian community. Catherine even joined a short dance routine before joking about the sweets being “zero calories.”Meanwhile in Cornwall, Prince William marked St Piran's Day in his role as Duke of Cornwall, trying his hand at making a traditional Cornish pasty and thanking emergency crews who responded to devastating winter storms. The Duchy of Cornwall estate now generates about $30.9 million annually under his stewardship.Plus: reports claim Netflix is exploring a new Crown related drama focused on the Andrew saga, and Omid Scobie's new novel Royal Spin appears to be struggling in the sales rankings, with critics and readers questioning its reception just weeks after release.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

In the 18th century, modern Germany continued to be a patchwork of various duchies, which kept German nobles in the marriage rotation throughout Europe. So it was that two brothers - Ernst and Leopold - came into the world in the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld in 1784 and 1790. One would become the King of Belgium, and one would be the legal father of Prince Albert, later the husband of Queen Victoria. We say "legal father" because apparently it's not 100% clear that Ernst's estranged wife, the long suffering Princess Louise, wasn't comforting her brother-in-law after the death of his wife, England's Princess Charlotte, whose death in childbirth prompted the Hanoverian race to reproduce that gave the world Queen Victoria.  It is, as they say, complicated.
