Welcome to the weekend edition of 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 2: from the Newsroom, which is all about the Royals. We're 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 2: going to go behind pallace walls to cover the big 5 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 2: news of the week, including the huge hint about possible 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 2: Ossie plans made by Kate, a big moment in Harry's 7 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 2: US visa battle, and a former close friend of Megan's 8 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,960 Speaker 2: revealing why they're no longer speaking. But first up, why 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 2: the Princess of Wales has delighted Ossie royal fans. Well, 10 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 2: it looks like the Waless might be heading to Australia 11 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 2: in the not too distant future. Kate has set tongues 12 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 2: wagging after letting slip a big clue during Saint Patrick's 13 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: Day celebrations in London this week. While talking to an 14 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 2: Ossie reservist, she reportedly said she was eager to return 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 2: with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis now that 16 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 2: they're a bit older, and then said this night. 17 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: Yes. 18 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: William and Kate's last visit to Australia was in twenty 19 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 2: fourteen with a then baby George. They were supposed to 20 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: come in two of the fire ravaged regions of the 21 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 2: country in twenty twenty, but the pandemic thwarted plans, so 22 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 2: we'll have to wait and see next up. A big 23 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 2: development in the ongoing legal battle to unseal Harry's US 24 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 2: visa documents. After a two year legal jostle, Prince Harry's 25 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 2: immigration documents had been unsealed well partially. In the heavily 26 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 2: redacted documents released on Tuesday, it was revealed that Duke 27 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: followed all the quote applicable rules and regulations end a 28 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: quote when he moved to the US with wife Megan 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 2: Markele in twenty twenty. The Trump administration confirmed Harry did 30 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: not receive special treatment to enter the US, per a 31 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: lawyer from the Department of Homeland Security. The decision to 32 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: redact large chunks of his paperwork was made in a 33 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 2: bid to protect Harry's privacy. Now the visa details being 34 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: made public followed a lawsuit launched by a conservative think tank, 35 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 2: the Heritage Foundation, which questioned whether Harry had lied on 36 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: his paperwork after he had claimed in his memoir in 37 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three that he'd taken drugs in the past 38 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: an admission, which can lead to applications being rejected. However, 39 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: despite the release of the paperwork, it remains unclear whether 40 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: the Prince ticked no to drug use. Next up, a 41 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 2: former close friend of Megan's reveals why they're no longer speaking. 42 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: Finishing up with a former good friend of Meghan Markles 43 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: opening up about why they no longer talk. Nick Eid 44 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: is a British pr guru who was palsed with the 45 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: then Suits actress during her time on the show, with 46 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: the pair hanging out a lot and him apparently helping 47 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 2: her make contacts and set up work meetings in London. Anyway, 48 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: he's revealed in a new interview that they're no longer 49 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: friends and admitted he'd gotten the quote Piers Morgan treatment 50 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 2: I'll play you what d said. But first for context, 51 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: the Peers Morgan thing is about how Peers briefly met 52 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: up with Meghan and they hit it off during the 53 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 2: same London trip in twenty sixteen where she met Harry, 54 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 2: and he's infamously complaint of how she then ghosted him 55 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 2: in the years since. So here's Nick talking about his 56 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: experience on a new episode of Hello Magazine's a Right 57 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 2: Royal Podcast, and. 58 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: We actually became, you know, be good friends. We spent 59 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: a lot of time together. She asked me to find 60 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: her an agent. So what she wanted to do at 61 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: the time was she was going to be on suits. 62 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: You know, she had a roundabouts of three or four 63 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: months where she could kind of do what she wants 64 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: to do. And she'd seen, like other celebrities go into 65 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: the West End and offer you know them a short run, 66 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: so she wanted to do that. So I took her 67 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: around to see some agents. I took her to see 68 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: some model agents as well. 69 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: And he's where he explained what went wrong? Things called 70 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 2: off or did you get the Peers Morgan treatment? 71 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: Got things called off? I got the Peers Morgan treatment 72 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: in the end. But actually, you know, we were messaging 73 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: each other when you know, when she felt pretty bullied 74 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: and Prince Harry put out that statement. You know, we 75 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: were messaging each other and I said, look, I'm really 76 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: glad you've got somebody who's actually supporting you. She's like, 77 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: that really means a lot, you know. And our friendship was, 78 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: you know, a genuinely good friendship. We were messaging each other, 79 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: text each other a lot. 80 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: Anyway, that's your Royal fixed for now.
