1
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: In today's episode, we're taking a dive into all the

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: biggest stories from behind palace walls. Over the past week,

3
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: the King and William did a rare joint outing, with

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Charles revealing a pretty personal detail. Harry and Megan have

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: had some real highs and a real low, and a

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: new royal portrait has sparked a pretty hilarious response online. Plus,

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you all about the very unexpected manual labour

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: job the Lake Queen once had. It's another big episode

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,959
Speaker 1: of from the Newsroom. We'll get underway in just a moment. Well,

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: it's been another huge week for the royals, with King

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 1: Charles and Prince William kicking it off with a rare

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: joint outing. On Monday, the pair headed to the Army

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: Aviation Center in Hampshire in England's southeast, where William was

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: officially named as Colonel in Chief of the Army Air Corps,

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: which by the way raised my brows as it was

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: in fact Prince Harry's former unit. Anyway, During the outing,

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: the King had a poignant chat with a man there

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: who'd also undergone chemotherapy for cancer recently, and the pair

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: discussed how they both lost their sense of taste during

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: the process. It was a very rare insight into the

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: King's battle with cancer, bearing in mind we still don't

22
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: even know what type it is or what his treatment

23
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: processes look like. Meanwhile, the image of the father and

24
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: son duo undertaking an important engagement together really came in

25
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: stark contrasts to the situation which had unfolded just days earlier,

26
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: with the King reportedly too busy with work commitments to

27
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: catch up with his other son, Prince Harry while he

28
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: was in London. Moving on and still speaking of Harry,

29
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: it's been a week of highs and lows for him

30
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: and his wife Megan Markel. Their unofficial quasi royal tour

31
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: of Nigeria was a massive success. The pair threw themselves

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: into local activities and generated plenty of positive headlines as

33
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: they traveled through the region for three days, and also

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: did some promotion for Harry's Invictors Games. However, a bit

35
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: of drama was brewing on their last day, with reports

36
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: out of the US indicating their charity. The Archwell Foundation

37
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: had been officially labeled delinquent after allowing its registration and

38
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: fees to lapse, forcing a temporary suspension of its fundraising efforts. Now,

39
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: that wasn't a good look and a bit of a

40
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: dampener on what was otherwise such a positive week. But

41
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: I spoke to sources close to the couple who set

42
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: the record straight on what had unfolded. According to them,

43
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: it was a case of a check being lost in

44
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: the mail and the matter was quickly resolved. So Archwell

45
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: is back to business as usual.

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: Now.

47
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: The last bit of royal news for you this week,

48
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: and four years after it was first commissioned, King Charles's

49
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: official portrait has been unveiled, and well, it's received a

50
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: bit of a mixed response at best. For those that

51
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: haven't seen artist Jonathan Yoe's handiwork, it's basically the King's

52
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: likeness wearing the red uniform of the Welsh Guards while

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: holding a sword, but it's also a wash with a

54
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: somewhat alarming red hue. He and Camilla praised it at

55
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: the grand unveiling, but social media hasn't been so kind.

56
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: Here's a snapshot of what people online have been saying,

57
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: and I quote it looks like he's burning in hell.

58
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: This is almost satanic. Another simply wrote ghastly yikes. At

59
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: least the King and Queen seem to like it. Next up,

60
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: I'll tell you all about the very unexpected manual labor

61
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: job once held by the late Queen Elizabeth, who mostly

62
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: saw her shaking hands with world leaders and undertaking royal

63
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: engagements during her seventy year reign. But did you know

64
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: that the late Queen was also once a mechanic.

65
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 2: When the training center was visited by the King and

66
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: Queen and Princess Margaret, they found Princess Elizabeth in overalls

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: working on the engine of a Red Cross lobby. After

68
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,679
Speaker 2: watching other girls at work, the King returned and jokingly

69
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: asked the Princess, haven't you got it mended yet?

70
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: The then Princess Elizabeth joined the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service

71
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: in nineteen forty five to pitch in during World War II.

72
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 1: In two thousand and three, she honored those who served

73
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: in the military with a special shout out to female volunteers,

74
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: talking about how much admiration she had for them. So

75
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 1: there you go, and that's it for this Royal edition

76
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: of from the Newsroom. Thanks for listening. We'll be back

77
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: with another update on Monday morning.
