1 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: From the Newsroom A year's still come to you. 2 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 2: Hey, I'm Bruntie Coy. Welcome to the weekend edition of 3 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 2: From the Newsroom, which is all about the Royals. We're 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 2: going to go behind palace walls to cover the big 5 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 2: news of the week, including a significant development after the 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 2: recent royal peace talks, an unexpected new claim about Meghan's 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,800 Speaker 2: time as a working Royal, and Charlotte's high profile outing 8 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 2: with William and what it means for her future. But 9 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 2: first up, it's the latest on the royal reconciliation chats 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: we've all been talking about. There appears to have been 11 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 2: the development after reports of this secret royal peace meeting 12 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 2: that went on recently between Prince Harry and the King's 13 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: senior aides. A new report in The Mail on Sunday 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: suggested Harry's now offer to share his official diary engagements 15 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 2: with the royal family in a bid to reduce tensions. 16 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 2: But after years of troubles, will this have an impact 17 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 2: on the Palace? I chatted about it with Newsweek's chief 18 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 2: Royal correspondent, Jack Royston on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show 19 00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: this week Take a listen. 20 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: It does have the potential to be quite useful. So basically, 21 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: this is what that meeting was all about. It was 22 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 1: obviously meeting between the staff and not the principles, not 23 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 1: the royal family members themselves, and it was about the 24 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: staff and not the principles working together. So the idea is, 25 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: you know, if they're both on the same page, those 26 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: two sides are on the same page, then they're going 27 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: to generate less stuff for us to talk about, because 28 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 1: you know, we won't be there writing loads of stories 29 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: about how Prince Harry and Megan overshadowed Charles, or overshadowed 30 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: Camilla or even overshadowed William. And you know that's part 31 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: of this is that anything that Harry shares with Buckingham 32 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: Palace has the potential to then be passed on by 33 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: BP to KP to Kensington Palace, which obviously is Prince 34 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 1: William's private office, so he will get an insight into 35 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: Harry's work schedule too. 36 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: Next up, an allegation about Meghan's time living within the 37 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: palace is again raising some myebrows. An interesting clim has 38 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: surfaced again recently from Valentine Low's Royal Byography Courtiers. He 39 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: alleged that Meghan had left her quote trail of evidence 40 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 2: behind so that when the time came for Harry and 41 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 2: Meghan to leave, she'd be able to say, look, how 42 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 2: they failed to support me end quote. Given what we 43 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: now know about the years that followed, could there be 44 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: way to this allegation here? I am discussing it with 45 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 2: Jack Royston on the Royal Exclusive Show. 46 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: I'm sure she did. I think in some ways it's 47 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: a rational thing to do, and you know, I think 48 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: a lot of people would have done exactly that. I 49 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: think the problem is not necessarily with Meghan doing that. 50 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: The problem is actually with the way that Harry and 51 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: Meghan kind of piled in quite relentlessly on the Royals, 52 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: and particularly like I do think that even the Oprah interview, 53 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: they did botch it, Like certain aspects of it were botched, 54 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: and you know, could have been done differently and better 55 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: in a way that would be less toxic and destructive. 56 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: For example, you know the racism allegation. You know, they 57 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 1: have clearly kind of tried to change it retrospectively or 58 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: row it back. So obviously they botched. You know, Meghan 59 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 1: botched how she described that story. So I'm not you know, 60 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 1: like it's so insanely intense being royal like for all 61 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: of them, including William, including Kate. I actually don't think 62 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 1: that it's a problem to be trying to collect these 63 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 1: little bits and pieces as a safeguard to protect yourself. 64 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: Next up, Princess Charlotte popped up at a very high 65 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: profile event with her dad, Prince William, and it's a 66 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 2: sign of what's to come. Well. Princess Charlotte was front 67 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 2: and center in Switzerland this week to cheer on Britain's 68 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: Lioness's football team, who took on Spain in the finals 69 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: and won. She joined her dad, Prince William, whose patron 70 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: of the Football Association, and the pair looked to be 71 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 2: having a blast as they watch the match. It comes 72 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: just a couple of weeks after she and Prince George 73 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 2: were with their parents at Wimbledon. As they step into 74 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: the spotlight more, how different will this air and spare 75 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: experience be from those before them? I e. William and 76 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: Harry here we are unpacking it on the Royal Exclusive Show. 77 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 1: But now social media exists and that you know, back then, 78 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: like even if the media were a little more unrestrained 79 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: than they are now, and it was hard to appeal 80 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: to their kind of you know, ethics or morality. Like 81 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: there were deals that William could do, like he did 82 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: deals with the media to give him in Kate space 83 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 1: when they went to St when they were you know, 84 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: we're dating at St. Andrew's University. Now you can do 85 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: deals with the media, but there's no doing deals with 86 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: people on social media. And the kids at their schools 87 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: will all have mobile phones once they're teenagers, so it 88 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: could get really out of hand really fast. 89 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 2: Anyway, that's your Royal fix for now. Thanks for listening. 90 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: We'll be back with our regular news update next week. 91 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: Follow or subscribe to from the newsroom wherever you get 92 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: your podcasts.
