1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: This is the Fits In with Kate Richie podcast Good Morning,

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm Emma duck Spree. King Charles has stepped back from

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: public duties after being diagnosed with cancer. Buckingham Pallace has

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: released a statement confirming it was found during his hospital

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: procedure for an enlarged prostate. Royal commentator Dickie Arbatt says

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: there's no word on what type of cancer it is

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: or what stage it's been found.

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: The only positive side to this is that the King

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 2: is well enough to continue with state work, steep papers,

10
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: doing his red boxes. It is the most important part

11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: of any monarch's role is to conduct official business.

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Charles has been diagnosed with cancer.

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 3: Prince Harry will be rushing home to his father.

14
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 4: His Majesty has chosen to share his diagnosis to prevent

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 4: speculation and in the hope it may assist public understanding

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 4: for all of those around the world who are affected

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 4: by cancer.

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: We need a bit more information here. We're going to

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: cross over to the UK right now. Thank you, Whitfield,

20
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 3: seven years europe Bureau Chief is over there covering this story.

21
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: Thanks for joining us.

22
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 5: You good morning, good.

23
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,199
Speaker 6: Morning, Thanks for finding the time, made some confronting news

24
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 6: obviously out of the UK this morning. What do you

25
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 6: know that hasn't been reported? This farku about the cancer

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 6: diagnosis for the King.

27
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 5: We know that it was found when he went into

28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 5: hospital for that treatment on his prostate. It's cancer that

29
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 5: has been found, but we don't know what type of cancer.

30
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 5: We know that he has been on the phone to

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,919
Speaker 5: his two sons, William and Harry as will as history

32
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 5: siblings Dan, Andrew and Edwards, to tell them the news,

33
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 5: and he was up in Sandringham on the weekend. He

34
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 5: went to church on Sunday morning with the Queen and

35
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 5: has returned to London today it's Monday evening here right now,

36
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 5: and has already begun treatment as an outpatient. He's here

37
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 5: in London right now. It seems as though he's going

38
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 5: to be spending quite a bit of time in London.

39
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 5: We don't know how long the treatment's going to last,

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 5: but he's going to be out of the public eye

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 5: for more than a month, because a month was what

42
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 5: we were told was what he was going to need

43
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 5: to recover from prostate procedure. The fact that he's now

44
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 5: receiving cancer true, that means he's going to be laid

45
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 5: up for a little bit longer, a much longer.

46
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 4: Does that mean you're saying that obviously his public appearances

47
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,279
Speaker 4: will be stripped right back? Is there anything in particular

48
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 4: that was on the agenda that he's now going to miss.

49
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 5: Look, I think you know various engagements who were on

50
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 5: public meetings and meeting with members of the public throughout

51
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 5: the UK. But I think they'd have to be very

52
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 5: big question marked over the possibility that he was going

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 5: to travel through Canada in May, and you know all

54
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 5: sorts of speculation that he was going to visit Australia

55
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 5: at the end of this year. I would have to

56
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 5: think that both of those two foreign troops would have

57
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 5: big question marks over about Because he's a seventy five

58
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 5: year old man who's been treated to cancer of some sype,

59
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 5: his recovery is going to be It's going to have

60
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 5: to be the most important thing.

61
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: You would have to be pretty confident, though, Hugh, that

62
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: if they found it going in looking at the prostate,

63
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 3: they found it at an early stage, so they'd be

64
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: pretty confident that he's going to get through this. Yeah.

65
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 5: Look, and I think we can take heart from the

66
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 5: fact that he hasn't been remitted to hospital to this

67
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 5: treatment or anything like that. Yes, he's seventy five, but

68
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 5: he's a relatively healthy seventy five year old, right, He's

69
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 5: actually a seventy five year old who has a full

70
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 5: time job and he seems to enjoy it. So I think,

71
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 5: you know, we can take heart from the fact that

72
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 5: he's been fit and healthy. But it turns out that

73
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 5: the's Royal. They are human, they're not superhuman.

74
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 6: So she would expect to see Harry in the next

75
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 6: couple of days.

76
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 5: Yeah. Look, apparently Harry's going to be here in London,

77
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 5: probably this week. He won't bring Meghan and the kids

78
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 5: with him, but he's going to see his father and

79
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 5: who knows what it means to this troubled relationship between

80
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 5: father and son. Nice exactly, exactly.

81
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,160
