00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: From the team at news dot com dot Au. This

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 1: is the latest from the Newsroom. In today's episode, we're

3
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: taking a dive into all the biggest stories from behind

4
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: palace walls over the past week. King Charles's big Prince

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: Andrew headache is showing no sign of easing as the

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: past standoff escalate. New details have emerged about the awkward

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: phone call that led to Harry's absence from a high

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: profile UK event, and a very random Aussi style was

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: seen hanging out with one of the royals You'll really

10
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: never guess who. Plus I'll tell you all about the

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: hugely popular game the royal family are all banned from

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: playing and for a very weird reason. It's another big

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: episode of from the Newsroom. We'll get underway in just

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: a moment. First up this week, there's been trouble brewing

15
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: between King Charles and Prince Andrew. So early last year,

16
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: you may recall, it was first reported that the King

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: was trying to evict his younger brother from the thirty

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: room Royal lodge he's called home for twenty years. The

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: reason for this he can't afford to pay for its

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: very substantial upkeep, given that he no longer has a

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: job as a working royal, having stepped down back in

22
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: twenty twenty due to his ties to convicted sex offender

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. Anyway, this property sagas had plenty of twists

24
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: and turns and reported failed negotiations, but it's been claimed

25
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: this week that Charles may be reaching the end of

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: his tether. According to The Times UK, he's been offering

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: Andrew thee and it must be said, very lovely former

28
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: home of Harry and Meghan Frogmore Cottage. But Andrew isn't budging.

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: Sources close to the monarch now claim he could be

30
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,639
Speaker 1: forced to quote reconsider the levels of support he's willing

31
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: to provide if the so called siege of Royal Lodge continues.

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: So watch this space. This royal real estate headache is

33
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,919
Speaker 1: clearly not easing just yet. Moving on and still speaking

34
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: of tension between royal brothers, new details of surfaced about

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: the awkward phone call that had to be made ahead

36
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: of a very uncomfortable potential harryan William encounter. The brothers,

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: as pretty much everyone knows now, are currently not on

38
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: good terms. New details have now surfaced about why Harry

39
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: didn't attend the wedding of one of his closest friends

40
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: who's also the godfather to his son, Prince Archie. This

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: week in the UK, now, there's been a lot of

42
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: conflicting reports about why Harry and Meghan weren't going to

43
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: Hugh Grovener aka the Duke of Westminster's wedding to Olivia

44
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: Henson on Friday. Some said they RSVP'd no, Others said

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: they weren't even invited in the first place due to

46
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: the fact William and Kate would definitely be there. But

47
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: it seems like the truth may have landed somewhere in

48
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: the middle. UK media reports this week have detailed how

49
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: Harry and his longtime pal had what must have been

50
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: a pretty awkward phone call around the time invitations went out,

51
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: and the pair came to a quote civilized understanding that

52
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: it was best the Sussexes not attend. Now the last

53
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: bit of royal news for you this week, and here's

54
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: a royal we don't talk about often on here, but

55
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: Sarah Fergie Ferguson has been spotted hanging out with a

56
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: very unexpected Aussie celebrity who in the world knew that

57
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: she and Delta Goodroom were friends. Yep, the Duchess of

58
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: York and the Aussie singer were photographed in central London

59
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: chatting away on the street along with some other pals.

60
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: Delta was in the UK for her performance at the

61
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 1: Mighty Hoopla Festival and apparently catching up with her royal pal.

62
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 1: Next up, I'll tell you all about the seemingly harmless

63
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: activity the Royals are all banned from playing, and the

64
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: weird reason why. It's one of the most popular board

65
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: games of all time, but the British Royal family is

66
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: apparently banned from playing Monopoly or even owning a board so.

67
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: A number of years ago, back when Prince Andrew was

68
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: on the Royal roster, he was reportedly gifted a Monopoly

69
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: board by a well wisher. However, local media reports that

70
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: he refused to take it, telling the gifter that they

71
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: were quote not allowed to play it at home as

72
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: it causes arguments and gets too vicious. Could also be

73
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: a little awkward for Andrew and Charles to have a

74
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: game of it right now, given their little housing standoff,

75
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: best they stick to an activity. The Royals all apparently

76
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: love charades a bit safer and that's it for this

77
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: Royal edition. From the newsroom. Thanks for listening. We'll be

78
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: back with another update on Monday morning.
