Hey, I'm Brontiko. 2 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: Welcome to the weekend edition of from the Newsroom, which 3 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: is all about the Royals. We're going to go behind 4 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:14,280 Speaker 1: palace walls to cover the big news of the week, 5 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: including Prince William's deeply personal and unprecedented public note to Kate, 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: the reason Prince Andrew's been reported to British beliefs, and 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: the very rare detail about Louis Bette that Megan's just shared. 8 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: But first up, we'll take a look at the rather 9 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: remarkable message sent out by William this week. Prince William 10 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: has shared a very uncharacteristically personal note along with a 11 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: previously unseen picture, in honor of his wife's birthday. William 12 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: posted a new black and white picture of Kate on 13 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: social media in honor of her forty third birthday, along 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: with a heartfelt caption. Here's what he wrote. Quote to 15 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: the most incredible wife and mother. The strength you've shown 16 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,880 Speaker 1: over the last year has been remarkable. George, Charlotte, Luie 17 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 1: and I are so proud of you. Happy birthday, Catherine. 18 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: We love you. And it was signed with his initial W. 19 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: This may not seem that explosive, but I can't really 20 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: overstate how un heard of it is for a senior 21 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: royal to pose such a gushing and personal tribute to 22 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: their partner, particularly not on a non milestone birthday. Williams 23 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 1: clearly delighted that Kate appears to have left the worst 24 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: of her difficult cancer battle behind her, and it's the 25 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 1: second time he's spoken of his pride in her, having 26 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: said something similar to journalists in Cape Town last year. 27 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: What also seems clear is that the Waleses have moved 28 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: into a new, more open chapter following the very challenging 29 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: events of the last twelve months. Moving on now to 30 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,320 Speaker 1: some news about Prince Andrew, who is once again embroiled 31 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: in drama, just weeks after abruptly pulling out of the 32 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: royal family's Christmas plans after his ties to an alleged 33 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: Chinese spy were exposed. Andrew has been reported to authorities 34 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: for allegedly adopting a fake name to register a private 35 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: investment firm and erroneously listing a London property as his 36 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: residential address. So for context, it was revealed in twenty 37 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: nineteen that Andrew had secretly established the fund under the 38 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: name Andrew Inverness in order to channel deals broken at 39 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: Buckingham Palace. The pseudonym is believed to be derived from 40 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: one of his lesser known titles, the Earl of Invernous, 41 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: and has reportedly been used to register four companies now. 42 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 1: The chief executive of anti monarchy campaign group Republic submitted 43 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: a complaint to British Police about one of these companies, 44 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: accusing the Duke of using false information in official documents. 45 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: The Metropolitan Police says they are currently reviewing the complaint 46 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: to determine whether further action is needed. Finishing up with 47 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: a sweet and very rare new detail about Harry and 48 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: Meghan's three year old daughter, who we've barely heard about 49 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: or seen over the years anyway, as we know, the 50 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: first trailer for Meghan's new Netflix show With Love Meghan 51 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: has been released, and after one foodi site criticized it, 52 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: a chef friend of the Duchess's leaped to her defense 53 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 1: on social media and dropped the little nugget of information 54 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: about Princess Lilibet. While doing so so, Chef Adrian Lipscomb 55 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: revealed that she'd recently been chatting with Meghan and the 56 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: pair had bonded over the fact both of their little 57 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: girls have entered quote a princess phase. It's very normal 58 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: for young girls, although obviously Lily does actually have the 59 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: time to back it up. Anyway, that's your royal fix 60 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: for now, Thanks for listening.
