1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: From the Newsroom a news still come today.

2
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm Brountie Koy. Welcome to the weekend edition of

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 2: from the Newsroom, which is all about the Royals. We're

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: going to go behind palace walls to cover the news

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: of the week, including Kate's big back to back weekend

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 2: of Royal engagements and the furor sparked by a British

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: TV star's controversial tweet about it, Harry and Meghan's first

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 2: joint appearance in months, and the powerful and harrowing new

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: royal documentary that's just been released. But first up, it's

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: all about the Princess of Wales. So two months on

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 2: from the news she'd finally finished her chemotherapy treatment for cancer,

12
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: Kate joined the Royals for their Remembrance Day activities in

13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 2: London over the weekend That included the Festival of Remembrance

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: at the Royal albert Hall on Saturday night and the

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 2: traditional service at the Cenotaph in London the following day.

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: These were Kate's first back to back outings of the

17
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: year and the response was largely people just happy to

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: see her out with the Royal family again, but one

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: British TV star had another observation quote tweeting an article

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: which had praised, quote brave Kate for her appearance on Sunday.

21
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: So here's what media personality Nerinda cow wrote about it.

22
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,199
Speaker 2: Quote genuine question, why has Kate aged so much? Isn't

23
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: she only forty two? Is she a smoker? It's the

24
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: only explanation end quote. Now, obviously putting aside the fact

25
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: that publicly commenting on anyone's appearance so negatively is a

26
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: poorly advised decision. Anyway, he'd have to have been living

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: under a rock to not know the exact circumstances of

28
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: Kate's year and the fact she's been undergoing cancer treatment,

29
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 2: so suggesting she looked unduly old and must be smoking,

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: of all things, was understandably very badly received by Nearinda's followers.

31
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: She later deleted the tweet and apologized for being insensitive,

32
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 2: but also hit out at the vile abuse she'd been copying,

33
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: and then pointed to Kate's privilege in being able to

34
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: take such a chunk of time off work to undergo treatment.

35
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: Moving on. In just a couple of weeks after the

36
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: release of Prince William's Homelessness documentary, generated headlines around the world.

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: His stepmother's followed suit with her own powerful program. One

38
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: of Queen Camilla's major focuses over the years has been

39
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: on eliminating domestic and sexual violence. In her new show,

40
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: Her Majesty, The Queen behind Closed Doors showcases the work

41
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: she's been doing. Longtime Royal correspondent Sarah Houston had a

42
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: sneak preview of the documentary at Buckingham Palace and told

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: me all about it recently on the Royal Exclusive Show,

44
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 2: and it's.

45
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: An incredibly powerful, hard hitting watch. We see her never

46
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: before seeing footage of her going into a refuge meeting

47
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: survivors of domestic abuse, and she talks. You can hear

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: the passion in her voice about why this is so

49
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: important to her. It's something she's been doing for more

50
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: than a decade, but she has a remarkable platform to

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: be able to res awareness and watching it, I mean

52
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: we watched it at a special screen at Buckingham Palace.

53
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: You could have heard a pin drop and there were gasps,

54
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: audible gasps of breath as some of the statistics came up.

55
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: There's a call to the place every thirty seconds about

56
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: domestic abuse and that's those that manage to make the call,

57
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: and that's seen as being only a quarter of potential cases.

58
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: And it was only in nineteen ninety one that rate

59
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: became a crime within marriage. Until then it was just

60
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: seen as a wife's duty. I mean, I was horrified.

61
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: That's not very long ago. I can tell it's had

62
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: a big impact on you. Yeah, so this is the

63
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: kind of thing I think it will then. I think

64
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: if you watch it, it really does make you stop and

65
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: think just how widespread and prevalence this is.

66
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: Sounds harrowing, and it's really important to have that spotlight

67
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: on it. Before we wrap up. Next, we'll talk about

68
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: how Harry and Meghan have popped up in their first

69
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: joint appearance in months. Finishing up with Prince Harry and Meghan,

70
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: the pair who have largely separated their professional projects, recently

71
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: popped up together in a video shared at a conference

72
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: to tackle violence against Children in Columbia. They spoke specifically

73
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: about online dangers for kids. Here's a snippet.

74
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 3: My husband and I recognize today's reality is marked by

75
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 3: greater connectivity and advanced technology, which of course has many

76
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 3: positives which also compel us to better understand how digital

77
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: violence against children is manifesting itself in this age now.

78
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: It was the first time they'd been seen together since

79
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: back in September, when they were spotted in the back

80
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: of a car leaving Tyler Perry's birthday party in their

81
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: neighborhood of Montecito in California. Anyway, that's your Royal fixed
