In today's episode, we're 3 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 1: taking a dive into all the biggest stories from behind 4 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,320 Speaker 1: Palace walls. Over the past week, after months of almost 5 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: radio silence, there's been some major Kate Middleton updates amid 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: her cancer treatment. A fed up King Charles is reportedly 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: changing course when it comes to Prince Harry after years 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: of tension between the pair, and Prince William and Prince 9 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: George have made a surprise joint appearance. Plus I'll tell 10 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: you all about the unexpected. Plus I'll tell you all 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: about the unexpected item of clothing every single world takes 12 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 1: with them every time they travel. It's another big episode 13 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: from the newsroom. We'll get underway in just a moment. 14 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,480 Speaker 1: Details about the Princess of Wales's treatment have been very 15 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: scarce since she revealed her cancer diagnosis in March, but 16 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: in recent days two significant updates have unexpectedly emerged. The 17 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: Palace itself confirmed this week that Kate would sadly not 18 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: be taking part in the Colonel's Review on June eighth, 19 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: despite speculation she may be returning to work as Colonel 20 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: in chief of the Irish Guards, Kate would ordinarily be 21 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: expected to take part in the salute. At the same 22 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: time as the update about the princess came in, it 23 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 1: was confirmed that the King, who's also been undergoing treatment 24 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: for cancer this year, would be taking part in the 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: Trooping the Color in mid June, which is one of 26 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: the most high profile royal events on the calendar. Meanwhile, 27 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: there's been more news about Kate, with Vanity Fairs Royal 28 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: reporter revealing royal sources have told her she's quote turned 29 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: a corner with her treatment recently and quote is doing 30 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: a lot better now. This is obviously a very positive development, 31 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: but it's worth noting that sources close to Kate and 32 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: William have also indicated that she won't be returning to 33 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: official duties until September at the earliest. Moving on, and 34 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: it's no secret there's been some issues between King Charles 35 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: and Prince Harry recently, and according to new reports, the 36 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: King is now changing tactic when it comes to his 37 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: youngest son after reaching the quote end of his tether 38 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: during their rift. Over the last few years, the pair 39 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: has had sporadic communication, with Harry visiting his dad after 40 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: news of his cancer broke, and it's understood the King 41 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: is open to properly reuniting with his son, but he's 42 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: apparently fed up with Harry's refusal to compromise. According to 43 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: the UK's Mirror, Royal author Tom Quinn told the publication 44 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: that Charles feels he's made a huge effort to repair 45 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: the relationship, but he's frustrated that his son refuses to 46 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: give an inch. As a result, he's now apparently changing 47 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,679 Speaker 1: tactics and quote planning to take a harder line with 48 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 1: Harry from a good cop to bad cop. So watch 49 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: this space to see how that unfolds. Now, the last 50 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: bit of royal news for you this week, and it's 51 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: quite a sweet one. William and Kate's oldest child, Prince George, 52 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: who's ten, was spotted alongside his dad at Wembley Stadium 53 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: for the FA Cup final last week. Both were dressed 54 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: up in their color coordinated suits. The Prince of Wales 55 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: is President of the Football Association and has been since 56 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: two thousand and six, so William and George, who both 57 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: go for Aston Villa, kept their support fairly neutral as 58 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: they watched Manchester United manage a two to one win 59 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: over Manchester city in the Thrilling Game. It's undoubtedly been 60 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: a rough few months for the pair given Kate's health, 61 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: so nice to see them out doing some father son bonding. 62 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: Next up, I'll tell you about the one outfit every 63 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: single Royal takes with them when they travel. So there's 64 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: plenty of stuff that needs to travel with Royals when 65 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: they're on tour, loads of staff, plenty of notes on 66 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: their host countries, and in the case of King Charles, 67 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: reportedly his own personal toilet seat. But there's one thing 68 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: every one of them always has with them. So it 69 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: stems way back to King George the sixth death in 70 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: nineteen fifty two, when a then Princess Elizabeth was in 71 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: Kenya and because it was quite sudden, hadn't brought a 72 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: black outfit with her. It became a bit of a 73 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: logistical nightmare where a black dress had to be delivered 74 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: to her plane on the tarmac when she landed back 75 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: in the UK before she could disembark. But lessons learned 76 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: and now none of them go anywhere without something black 77 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: to wear, just in case. A bit morbid really, and 78 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: that's it for this Royal edition from the newsroom. Thanks 79 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: for listening. We'll be back with another update on Monday morning.
