Over the past week, 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,400 Speaker 2: Prince Harry's made his big return to the UK and 6 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 2: brought with him a fresh round of family drama. Of course, 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 2: there's unexpected news for the Royals after a tough few 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 2: months and a sad new insight into Caton William's life 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 2: at the moment. Plus, I'm going to tell you the 10 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 2: one very common request made to Royals that they always 11 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: have to turn down. It's another big episode of from 12 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,160 Speaker 2: the Newsroom. It we'll get underway in just a moment. 13 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 2: Prince Ariy's made a very high profile return to the UK, 14 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 2: flying into London for a brief two day visit in 15 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 2: honor of the Invictors Games tenth anniversary. Now, before he 16 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: got here, it was all about whether or not he'd 17 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 2: see any of his family, in particular King Charles and 18 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 2: Prince William. But after polonny of speculation and the news 19 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: that he had requested some FaceTime with his dad, it 20 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 2: was confirmed by Harry him self that he'd had that denied. 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: In a statement. The duke spokesman confirmed his invitation, but 22 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: explained that he'd been told that the King had declined 23 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,199 Speaker 2: due to his. 24 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: Quote full program. 25 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: Unsurprisingly, none of the royals were president at the Invictor 26 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 2: service at Saint Paul's Cathedral on Wednesday, but two of 27 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 2: Harry's relatives did show up to support him. I was 28 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 2: actually there myself and saw the late Princess Diana's brother 29 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 2: and sister show up and sit right behind Harry in 30 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 2: VIP seats, and the trio was smiling and chatting away 31 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 2: animatedly right up until the service began, and then again 32 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: when it finished, so it seems he's still friendly with 33 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: at least some of his family. 34 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,839 Speaker 1: It was actually a very moving service. 35 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: I even saw Harry appear to wipe away a tear 36 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 2: at one point during a standing ovation after a member 37 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 2: of the British Invictor's Games team broke down as she 38 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: gave a testimony about how the event had saved her life. 39 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 2: Moving on in a friend of Kate and Williams has 40 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: claimed the pair is going through hell as they grapple 41 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: with her cancer diagnosis and treatment. According to designer Amaya Arietta, 42 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: who has styled the family for more than a decade. 43 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: It's understandably been a difficult road since they received the 44 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: news earlier this year. She told the UK's Telegraph in 45 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 2: a new interview that she was heartbroken for them and 46 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 2: described the situation as really personal. Now, the last bit 47 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: of royal news for you this week, and some good 48 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 2: news for the monarchy, who've just experienced a pretty major 49 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 2: boost after enduring a few of their toughest months. 50 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: Yet. 51 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: They were obviously on skeleton staff with all the key 52 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 2: players out of action for a while there, so the 53 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,679 Speaker 2: latest stats from here in Britain. 54 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: Will probably come as a very welcome relief. 55 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 2: A new popularity poll showed that fifty six percent of 56 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: the population now believe the King is doing a good job, 57 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 2: a big jump from the forty nine percent last year, 58 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 2: and sixty percent want to keep the monarchy as it is. 59 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: The pole also saw all the royals personally receive a 60 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: spike in their popularity, most notably Kate, who jumped up 61 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: a whopping ten percent. Next up, I'll tell you all 62 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: about the very common request the Royals constantly have to 63 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: refuse and the unexpected reason why. In a lot of ways, 64 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 2: Royals are like Hollywood celebrities, especially when they're out and 65 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 2: about meeting all their fans and posing for endless selfies. 66 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: But there's one thing that, unlike regular stars, they're absolutely 67 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 2: forbidden from doing, and yet this it's signing their own autograph. 68 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 2: Apparently that's due to the risk of forgeries. Kate confirmed 69 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 2: the band herself during an appearance last year, politely telling 70 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 2: a young kid who asked for her seeing each other 71 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: that she isn't allowed to write her name, describing it 72 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: as and I quote, just one of those rules. And 73 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 2: that's it for this Royal edition of From the Newsroom. 74 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: Thanks for listening. We'll be back with another update on 75 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 2: Monday morning.
