1 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: From the news room are news to come today. In 2 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: today's episode, we're taking a dive into all the biggest 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,399 Speaker 1: stories from behind Palace walls over the past week, including 4 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: a Royal source spilling on a lingering Kate mystery, Prince 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: Harry's reaction to backlash over his prestigious new award, and 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: why a very relatable new video of Prince William is 7 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: going viral. Plus I'll tell you a very unexpected detail 8 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 1: about the late Queen's marriage to Prince Philip. The sad 9 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: truth behind the big mystery of what was going on 10 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: with the absent Princess of Wales following her surgery was 11 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: solved with her announcement about her cancer diagnosis in March, 12 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: but months on, questions have still lingered. A big one 13 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: was why her and William's three kids were not among 14 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 1: those visiting their mother at the London hospital where she 15 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: was a patient for two weeks, and it's now been 16 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: revealed why. According to Vanity Fairs Katie Nicol, this was 17 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: all done on purpose, as Kate quote did not want 18 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: her children to see her in a gown and hooked 19 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: up to monitors and tubes. Instead, she quote made do 20 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: with video calls home every day. The other element to 21 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: the dramatic saga, which saw conspiracies run wild while the 22 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: world tried to work out what was wrong with Kate 23 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: was how she and William reacted to the fuor behind 24 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: closed doors. According to Nicol, the couple was quote flawed 25 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: by it all, and lessons were learned Moving on, and 26 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: Prince Harry's reportedly been left stunned by the backlash he's 27 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: received recently after being named the recipient of the Pat 28 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: Tillman Award for service at the twenty twenty four Espies. 29 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: Harry was honored at the glitzy ceremony this week for 30 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,840 Speaker 1: his military experience and work on the Invictus Games, which 31 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: he founded in twenty fourteen. However, the earlier announcement that 32 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: he'd been chosen raised plenty of eyebrows, including those of 33 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: the late hero's mum, Mary Tilman, who criticized ESPN and 34 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: claimed she was never consulted about the decision. So. Pat 35 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: Tillman was a former NFL player who served in Iraq 36 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: and Afghanistan and was killed by friendly fire in two 37 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: thousand and four, As sources now claimed, the fallout of 38 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: the award in his honour being given to Harry has 39 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: unsurprisingly been a bitter pill to swallow for both the 40 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: Duke and Duchess of Sussex. And lastly, a video of 41 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: Prince William riding an electric scooter on the grounds of 42 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: Windsor Castle has gone absolutely viral, clocking up millions of 43 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: views on social media. The clip shows the future king 44 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: happily whizzing around on the royal estate, and the comments 45 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: in response have shown people are absolutely loving it. It's 46 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: belief William was dropping by Windsor Castle to visit his father, 47 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: King Charles, who was there on Thursday, before heading back 48 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: to Buckingham Palace. The Prince of Wales apparently bought the 49 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: East Scooter last year to help him shave down the 50 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: fifteen minute walk between the castle and his home at 51 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: Adelaide Cottage, which is about two kilometers away. Next up, 52 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: I'll tell you a very unexpected detail about the late 53 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth's relationship with her husband, Prince Philip. It sounds 54 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: a bit more House Lanister than Windsor. That's a Game 55 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: of Thrones reference for the non fans out there, But 56 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: did you know Queen Elizabeth was actually her husband Prince 57 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: Philip's cousin. Okay, to be fair, they were third cousins, 58 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: and given the small monarchy community in Europe, it kind 59 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: of makes sense. But Prince Philip was born into the 60 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: Greek and Danish royal family and Queen Elizabeth obviously into 61 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: the British one, and they were in fact third cousins. Anyway, 62 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: that's it for this edition of From the Newsroom. Thanks 63 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: for listening.
