Well, it's fairly safe to 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 3: say that this was the most memorable moment of the 12 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 3: King and Queen's whirlwind tour of Australia. 13 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: Give from us how far Go. 14 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 3: On day two of the King's first tour down Under 15 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 3: since ascending the throne, Independent Victorian Senator Lydia Thorpe very 16 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 3: publicly confronted him during a welcome reception at Parliament House 17 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 3: in Canberra. The incident made international headlines, especially back in Britain, 18 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 3: and the reaction to the Senators Act has been mixed. 19 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 3: Here she is talking about it all A couple of 20 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 3: days later on the Today Show, Ice to see you. 21 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say you might very well 22 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 2: be the most loathed woman in Parliament and Canberra at 23 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: the moment, and that's really saying something. Oh well, just 24 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 2: another day in the colony, Karl.

But 30 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 3: aside from that moment in Canberra, they received a pretty 31 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 3: warm welcome from Ozzy's. The King spoke about it during 32 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 3: a community barbecue in Parramatta in Sydney held in his 33 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 3: and the Queen's honor on the final day of their tour. 34 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: The generous spirit of Australians has always made Midfield welcome 35 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 1: and that is true again today. So my wife and 36 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: Aya really glad to be back in Sydney. 37 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 3: Moving on, and after what's undoubtedly been a difficult few 38 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 3: months in Hollywood, Megan Markle has found herself at the 39 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 3: receiving end of an absolutely brutal career review by a 40 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 3: legendary magazine editor. Tina Brown was the former editor of 41 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 3: both Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, and authored two 42 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 3: best selling royal biographies, plus she personally knew Princess Diana. 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 3: She appeared on a podcast recently and was very blunt 44 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 3: in her assessment of the Duchess. 45 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 2: The trouble with Megan is that she has the worst 46 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: judgment of anyone in the entire world. I mean, she 47 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: just she's flawless about getting it all roll, you know. 48 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 2: I mean, she just is a professionalist about it. She's 49 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 2: a perfectionist about getting it all wrong. It's like every 50 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: time I think, finally, you know, when she got wmme 51 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: And for her issue is that she doesn't listen to 52 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,080 Speaker 2: all these but the reason they all leave it's because 53 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 2: she does not listen. She has all these people, ask 54 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 2: them their opinion and then doesn't follow it. She does 55 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 2: what she wants to do, and all of her ideas 56 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 2: a total crap out. 57 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: On the other hand, she was a bit more positive 58 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 3: about Prince Harry. 59 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: The thing about Harry is he's very very good at 60 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 2: being Prince Harry. And that's what is that's this tragedy 61 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 2: of all of this is that he is the most 62 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: talented member of the royal family without doubt in terms 63 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: of being a prince, which is all he does know 64 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,119 Speaker 2: how to do. 65 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 3: Finishing up today's episode with some fresh royal tidbits directly 66 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: from one of the members of the family. Mike Tindall 67 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 3: has co written a new book with two of his 68 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: podcast co hosts, called The Good, The Bad and the 69 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: Rugby Unleashed. Now. For those that don't know him, Mike 70 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 3: is a fixture within the royal fauld He's married to 71 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 3: the King's niece, Zara Tindall, and the pair has three 72 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 3: kids and they're very close with Zara's cousins, including Prince 73 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: William and Prince Harry.

He said, and I quote 77 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: her life wasn't like an episode of Downton Abbey, with 78 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 3: meals on long tables and everyone dressed in their finery 79 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 3: every night, and Zara and I would often watch the 80 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 3: racing with her on TV, as I'm sure lots of 81 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 3: people reading this have done with their gran Mike also wrote, 82 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: and I quote, yes, there's a lot of dramas surrounding 83 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: the royal family, but they aren't much different to anyone 84 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 3: else underneath it all.
