Speaker 2: Hey there, I'm Brontie Coy. Welcome to the weekend edition

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 2: of From the Newsroom, which is all about the Royals.

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: We're going to go behind palace balls to cover the

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 2: big news of the week, including the private message sent

6
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 2: by the King to Donald Trump as he kicked off

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 2: his second presidency. A friend of Harry and Meghan's reveals

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 2: how they reacted to a bizarre acclaim about their marriage,

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: and how are megastars given an unexpectedly emotional interview about

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: the royal family. But first up, it's all about King

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: Charles's personal message to Donald Trump. Well, the big global

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: news this week was, of course, the inauguration of Donald Trump,

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: and it's been confirmed by Buckingham Pallace that King Charles

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: wrote a personal message to the returning US President. The

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: details of the note have been kept quiet for now,

16
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: but it's understood the King offered his congratulations to mister

17
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: Trump and quote reflected on the enduring relationship between the

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: United Kingdom and United States. Now to be interesting to

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 2: see how this presidential term plays out in regards to

20
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: the Royal family. They're likely to be very powerful assets

21
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: to the British government. The term used here is usually

22
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: soft diplomacy, as the President is a big fan of theirs.

23
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: He's publicly gushed over them in the past, and was

24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: full of praise for Prince William when the pair met

25
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: up last month in Paris. He even described William as

26
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: quote very handsome. There's plenty of bars about a visit

27
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: between the Royals and the Trumps, with speculation the King

28
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: and Queen may head over for a visit to the

29
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: US or hosts the President and First Lady in Britain

30
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 2: with lots of pomp and pageantry. Of course, either way,

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: it'll be interesting watch this space. Moving on and the

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: shocking Harry and Meghan divorce allegations in a recent and

33
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: explosive Vanity Fair article have made a quote bad time

34
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: worse for the couple, according to an old friend of Harry's. So,

35
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: in case you missed it, this expose on the Sussexes

36
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: made global headlines when it dropped over the weekend. There

37
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: was a lot in it, but one of the more

38
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: baffling claims was that a few years back, Meghan's team

39
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: had asked publishers if there would be interest in a

40
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: post divorce book if she split from Harry. In the

41
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: article there were Porter went on to explain that the

42
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: unidentified person allegedly acting for Meghan made it clear they

43
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: weren't getting divorced, but they wanted to gauge their position

44
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: on it. Theoretically, it was all very odd, especially as

45
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 2: obviously the couple has not split, and according to Harry's

46
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: longtime pale who spoke to The Daily Beast anonymously, it's

47
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: come at what's already been a challenging time for the couple,

48
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: with Meghan forced to postpone her Netflix show's premiere. As

49
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: the friend said and I quote, things aren't easy for

50
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 2: them right now. Vanity Fair have succeeded in making a

51
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 2: bad time worse, finishing up with a bit of a

52
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 2: celeb and royal crossover. My favorite and longtime royal pal

53
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: and general monikers that David Beckham has gotten unexpectedly emotional

54
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: while speaking about the Royal family during a recent interview.

55
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: The former England football captain has made a string of

56
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: high profile appearances with both Prince William and King Charles

57
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 2: in recent months, and famously queued up with the public

58
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: to pay his respects to the late Queen when she

59
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 2: was lying in state in twenty twenty two. Here's how

60
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: we answered when the topic of his relationship with the

61
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: family was brought up at the World Economic Forum in

62
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: DeVos recently to your relationship.

63
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: I always get emotional talking about anything that I do

64
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: with our Royal family because I've always been a huge Royalist.

65
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: I was brought up in a family, in a household

66
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 1: that adored and loved everything that came with the Royal families.

67
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: Anyway, that's your Royal fix for now. Thanks for listening.

68
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,560
