1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: From the Newsroom Are you still come to Day? 2 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 2: In today's episode, we're taking a dive into all the 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,640 Speaker 2: biggest stories from behind Palace walls over the past week, 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: including Prince William's high profile outing with a very famous 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 2: friend and Wyatt's raised to eyebrows, Harry's return to the 6 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 2: UK without Meghan, and the royal baby news that's just 7 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 2: been announced. I'll also share the fairly blunt correction the 8 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 2: Late Queen gave once to one of her very famous 9 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 2: guests during lunch at the Palace. It is another big 10 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 2: episode of from the Newsroom. We've seen a whole lot 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 2: of Prince William this week, but easily the outing that 12 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 2: got people the most excited was when he was joined 13 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 2: by a very famous friend in London. On Tuesday, the 14 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 2: future King was joined by David Beckham at an RAF 15 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 2: base in West London to celebrate the success of the 16 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 2: Air Ambulance Charities Up against Time fundraising appeal, which raised 17 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 2: a total of thirty million dollars, which is going on 18 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 2: two new choppers. The pair was seen laughing and chatting 19 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: together and even hopped inside one of the helicopters, and 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: Beckham later revealed he'd been invited to a by William personally. 21 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: Now I know what this means to put to William, 22 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: and you know the moment he called and asked me 23 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: to be I had to hide my excitement a little 24 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,039 Speaker 1: bit because, like I said, I've been a fan of 25 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: the London Air Ambulance for a long time in an 26 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: Eastend boys so you know, and these guys rely on 27 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: clubs plunded donations. The fact that I could get involved 28 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: and we can raise the money that we raised is 29 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: you know, bought one of these incredible helicopters. So it's 30 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: nice to help in a small way. 31 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: Now, I do need to mention here clearly William and 32 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: the football star are close friends, and Beckham set himself 33 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: how excited he was to get the call up from 34 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 2: the Royal. This has raised a few eyebrows because it 35 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 2: once again sort of puts this alleged fooling out that 36 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: David and his wife Victoria apparently had with Harry and 37 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 2: Megan in recent years back under the microscope. The couples 38 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: were once quite good friends, and they were even at 39 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: the Sussex's Royal wedding, but things reportedly later soured over 40 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: claims of story leaking Obviously we know that Harry and 41 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 2: William are no longer on speaking terms, and so now 42 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: Beckham's involvement with William's work and the fact they appeared 43 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: so chummy, well, it kind of gives off the appearance 44 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: of him kind of choosing a side, which is what's 45 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 2: gotten people talking moving on and focusing on Harry now 46 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: as he's been on a whirl win solo tour himself 47 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 2: in recent weeks. He's currently in Southern Africa. More on 48 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 2: that in a sec but first he made a very 49 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: brief stop back in London. It was his fourth visit 50 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: here this year, and he's second in just a matter 51 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: of weeks, and it was so he could present an 52 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: award at the well Child Awards, which is a really 53 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: important event that recognizes inspirational, seriously ill kids and their 54 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 2: families and carers. Meghan has come with him in previous 55 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 2: years except for twenty twenty three, but like during Harry's 56 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 2: New York trip last week, this time she stayed home 57 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 2: with the kids. There'd been some speculation, of course, about 58 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: whether or not Harry would meet up with his dad 59 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 2: while he was back in the UK, but once again 60 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: that appears to have not happened. Harry flew out to 61 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 2: Lesoto the very next day, and at the time of 62 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: this recording is now in the midst of a week 63 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: of engagements associated with his charity center Bali.
