1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,239
Speaker 1: From the Newsroom a news to conto.

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm Brontikoy. Welcome to the weekend edition of From

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 2: the Newsroom, which is all about the Royals. We're going

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: to go behind palace walls to cover the big news

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: of the week, including Meghan Markle's shutting down speculation about

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 2: her and Prince Harry's relationship, Prince Andrew sparking uproar again,

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: and the grim development in Harry's stewd with the King.

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: But first up, Megan gets candid about her personal life

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: during a new interview. Meghan Markle has lifted the lid

10
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 2: on her home life with Prince Harry, insisting she's the

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: quote happiest she's ever been and it's apparently due in

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: no small part to her husband. Now the pair have

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 2: been at the center of plenty of speculation in recent years,

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: but the Duchess of Sussex shut that down with her

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: remarks on a panel at the time one hundred event

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: in New York City this week. Harry himself was in

17
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 2: the audience watching on as she said, this.

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: Is unhappiness, happiest I've ever been, and that hard to

19
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: have a partner and a husband who was just so

20
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: supportive and to have healthful kids that are so joyful

21
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: in the freeness of their life and the safety of

22
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: the clients that we create for them.

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: I never, of all the things that have happened.

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: In my life, I never would have imagined getting here

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: at this point. I feel just so happy and grateful,

26
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: and I.

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: Really feel Next up, Prince Andrew's spark's pulllenty of uproar

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: and some fierce debate with his latest appearance, Prince Andrew,

29
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: the drama around him will seemingly never die down. The

30
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: Duke of York joined the Royal Family for their annual

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: Eastern Church service this week, just as he did last year,

32
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: but after the photos were beamed around the world, it

33
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: again sparked some backlash. As most of you already know, Andrew,

34
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: of course, stepped down from royal duties in twenty nineteen

35
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: following his disastrous Newsnight interview in relating to his ties

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: to Jeffrey Epstein, and has since caused a bit of

37
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: a stir every time he's seen on a high profile

38
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: public occasion. And I discussed the issue with The Son's

39
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: Royal editor Matt Wilkinson on The Royal Exclusive show this week.

40
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 3: Take a listen, did you York appeared at Easter? That

41
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: this is the Easter Sunday service is not a work

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: in royal He's been banished from all proper royal official events,

43
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 3: but he can attend family engagement such as this. That

44
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: there is a lot of talk that maybe this is

45
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: an effort for him to put himself back into the limelight,

46
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: to have a return. What's your thoughts.

47
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: When it comes down to it, you're looking at with

48
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 2: Prince Andrew's involvement in these things, Okay, is it a

49
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: royal family matter or is it a royal business matter?

50
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: And the reality is they are a family, but of

51
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: course it is a business and it is crucial that

52
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: all of the team and everyone that's on display publicly

53
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: is in line with what the King wants. Now, obviously

54
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 2: he has the King. I'd mean to say, the King

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: clearly agrees that Prince Andrews should be at these family occasions.

56
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: I do definitely understand that argument as well, because it

57
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: is a family matter. In terms of larger scale events,

58
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any appetite from the public for

59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: him to return. I can't imagine that the King or

60
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: Prince William or any of the other senior royals would

61
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: agree that he should return to public duty. I think

62
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: that's a matter that's been laid to rest, particularly as

63
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: there was a Yugov poll last month that showed that

64
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: eighty nine percent of Britain's view him unfavorably, which is

65
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: just truly enormous numbers. So I think when it comes

66
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 2: to these things, there's always going to be a matter

67
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: of the dust being kicked up on Prince Andrew about

68
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: what should be his future. But surely it has been

69
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: agreed even with the royal family, and I would imagine

70
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: even with Prince Andrew at this point that he is

71
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: retired from royal duties, but he will just continue to

72
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: take part in family events. Next up, a grim update

73
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: on Harry's rift with his father, the King. Last year,

74
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: it looked like their relationship might finally be improving, but

75
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: things have now reportedly gotten even worse between Harry and

76
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: his dad. Drift has reportedly deepened amid Harry's court case

77
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: over the removal of his police protection. A quick recap

78
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: on that legal battle. Harry's been embroiled in a legal

79
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: fight with the UK's Home Office, whom he's suing over

80
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: its decision to remove he and Megan's around the clock

81
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: taxpayer funded security provision after they quit royal duties. The

82
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 2: department in charge had instead proposed a quote bespoke process

83
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: for Harry, which he has claimed showed him quote different,

84
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 2: unjustified and inferior treatment, but in February last year, a

85
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: High Court judge rejected the case and ruled that the

86
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 2: approach was not irrational or procedurally unfair. Harry has appealed

87
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: that decision and was in caught in London recently as

88
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: part of that, but didn't see the King while he

89
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: was there. According to US Weekly, the whole saga has

90
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: been quote terrible for their relationship. He's what an insider

91
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 2: set quote. Harry blames Charles and thinks he can intervene,

92
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 2: but Charles can't, and it just continues Harry's narrative that

93
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: he's been cast out end quote. It's also understood that

94
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: the King is no longer even answering Harry's calls. A

95
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: sad update all around. Anyway, that's your Royal fixed for now.

96
