1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: From the news room a news still come today. 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Brniky and in today's episode, we're taking a 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,800 Speaker 2: deep dive into all the latest news from behind Palace walls, 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 2: including the deeply personal new TV series released by Prince 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 2: William and big news about King Charles off the back 6 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 2: of his Aussie royal tour and what this means for 7 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 2: the coming months. Plus I'll tell you about the celebrity 8 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 2: who had Charles and Diana gatecrash his party. It's honestly 9 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 2: an amazing story. Well. The Prince and Princess of Wales 10 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 2: have certainly opened up a new, more candid chapter in 11 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: royal history this year with the release of their personal 12 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 2: videos and statements regarding Kate's cancer journey, but that trend 13 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 2: is set to continue more broadly, with Prince William releasing 14 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 2: a very personal two part docu series this week looking 15 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 2: at the hands on work he's doing to help eradicate homelessness. 16 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: The show focuses on the first year of William's ambitious 17 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: project called Homewards, and features a side of the Prince 18 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: we've not really seen before. Here's a snippet. 19 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 3: I think everyone having a right, safe and stable home 20 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 3: benefits us all, I come with no other agenda than 21 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 3: desperately trying to help people who are in need, and 22 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 3: I see that as part of my role. Is that? 23 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,120 Speaker 3: Why else would I be here if I'm not using 24 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 3: this role properly to influence and help people where I can. 25 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 3: And I like a big challenge. I do like that, 26 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 3: but I can't deal my own. 27 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 2: Now, it should be mentioned there's one part in particular 28 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: that really attracted some attention, and you'll probably be able 29 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 2: to see why. Take a listen. 30 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 3: My mother took me to the passage. She took Karen 31 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 3: and I both there. That's when it'daorned me. Then there 32 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 3: are other people out there who don't have the same 33 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 3: life as you do. 34 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 2: Much has been made of this reference to Harry, with 35 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 2: people pointing out it could be an olive branch given 36 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 2: it's the first public not of recognition from William to 37 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 2: his brother in years. But I got to say, seeing 38 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: as it popped up on screen with a picture of 39 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: the boys and their late mother, it would have been 40 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 2: a much bigger deal if he hadn't have said his 41 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: name at all. So I wouldn't count on that reunion 42 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 2: just yet. Sorry, moving on, And it may have had 43 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: some hiccups, but off the back of what's largely been 44 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: considered a successful royal tour of Australia and Samoa, Buckingham 45 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 2: Pallas says King Charles is now ready to return to 46 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 2: a full overseas tour schedule next year. Now, it's obviously 47 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: well known that the King has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment 48 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: for months now as he battles cancer, but despite this, 49 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: he's reportedly ready to really push forward with as much 50 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 2: normalcy as possible when it comes to foreign tours. With 51 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: that said, it will all be subject to sign off 52 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 2: by his doctors, but still it's a really positive sign. 53 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 2: Finishing up with a throwback to one of my favorite 54 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: celebrity royal encounters, his English actor and comedian Stephen Fryer 55 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 2: revealing on The Graham Norton Show the absolutely wild experience 56 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: he had with the then Prince of Wales, Charles and 57 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,559 Speaker 2: his then wife Princess Diana one Christmas. 58 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: I did a line up for a show once and 59 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: there was a royal presence and the Prince Wales said, 60 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: apparently live in Norfolk? 61 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 3: Is it right? 62 00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 2: I said, I do. 63 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,839 Speaker 1: The place is not far from sanding him. In fact, 64 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: he said, oh, wonderful. I said, you should come visit 65 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: me for Christmas. Of course, I thought no more about it. 66 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: And that Christmas I had a real house full of friends, 67 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: about fourteen people were all squeezed together. And I'm a 68 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 1: very early riser. I'm very much a lark, not an owl. 69 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: And so I was up and I was making eggs. 70 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: Belendeditt phone went, please somebody with that. All the fourteen 71 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: people showering, shagging whatever they were doing, and nobody was on. 72 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 3: Sorry. 73 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: Oh, I picked up the phone. Yes, I went, can 74 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: I speak to Stephen Fridays? And I said, yes, this 75 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: is he? And he said, this is Prince of Whales here, 76 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: and it's up my brain. A little part of my 77 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: brain sent a signal to say, oh, rory, because you 78 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: always know when it's someone real. Another part just overtook 79 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: it and went, oh, well, sir, he said, I was 80 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: wondering about to take you up for that offer for tea. 81 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: I said, well, that would be wonderful. When would you 82 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: like when it's convenient for you? He said, well, what 83 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: about New Year's Day? So I said, but that would 84 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: be fine. So I kind of put the phone down 85 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: and thought right, So I went into the hall and 86 00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: I shouted house meeting. Everybody's appeared at the top of 87 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: stairheads and I said, the Prince of Wells is coming 88 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: for tea, and then everybody went, oh my god. And 89 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: then there was this fantastic side. I mean I could 90 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: have photographed. I should have done. Everybody means, she will 91 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,839 Speaker 1: lorry hoovering the carpet. And so we're we all making 92 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: tea or getting ready. Everything is, the fire is burning, 93 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: everything's completely ready, and we're all peeping out of the 94 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: curtains like pathetic children like that. All these cars passing minutes, 95 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: and then eventually two cars Chris Crunch. Everybody's disappeared except me. 96 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: So the doorbell goes and I think I must play 97 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: it cool. Count fifteen, and the bell goes again and 98 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: I open it and he goes, oh, hello, I hit it, 99 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: don't mind. I brought my wife, and there's Princess Diana 100 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: comes down to the shadows. He's hello, Stephen.

They go and 102 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: he says, thanks you everybody who says goodbye, and she 103 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: holds in the doorway and she says, I'm sorry we're going, 104 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: but I'm quite glad we're going early because it's Spitting 105 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: Image on tonight and I'm going to watch it in 106 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: my room.
