It's another big episode from the newsroom. A 12 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: bombshell new report's been published out of Hollywood claiming Meghan 13 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: Markle is a terrifying boss, with sources describing her as 14 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: quote a dictator in high heels who reduces grown ment 15 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: to tears. The explosive article came from the Hollywood Reporter 16 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: and is causing quite a stir. The stores is quoted 17 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: in it are anonymous and these are just allegations, of course, 18 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: but it is the latest worrying sign for Harry and 19 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: Meghan that their popularity in the US has taken a 20 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: sharp nose dive since their arrival back. It also comes 21 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 1: after news that their new chief of staff had quit 22 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: recently after just three months in the job, and he 23 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: was just the latest in a list of employees who 24 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: had resigned from their jobs with the Sussexes. Elsewhere in 25 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: the article detailed allegations that Meghan quote belittle's people and 26 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: doesn't take advice. It also suggested both she and Harry 27 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: are quote poor decision makers and changed their minds frequently. 28 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: Ouch moving on and something else that happened this week 29 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: Prince Hary turned the Big four to zero. He reportedly 30 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: celebrated quietly at home with Meghan and their kids by 31 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: his side, and went on a hiking trip with a 32 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: small group. 33 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 2: Of friends afterwards. 34 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: But what's really made headlines here is the fact that, 35 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: for the first time in years, King Charles and Prince 36 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 1: William acknowledged the occasion publicly. 37 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: Don't get too excited. 38 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: The official Royal family Twitter sorry That's X account posted 39 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: a generic happy birthday message alongside a picture of Harry 40 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: in Dublin in twenty eighteen, and the post was then 41 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: re shared with a very similar message by William and 42 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: Kate's official account. Obviously it's just a gesture, but it 43 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 1: is a positive move given that Harry and William haven't 44 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: been on speaking terms for a long time and neither 45 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: Royal household has acknowledged his birthday in recent years. So 46 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: maybe a tiny green shoot of hope that things might 47 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: be slowly moving towards peace. But we'll have to wait 48 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: and see. But as is often the case with Royal news, 49 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: it didn't come without a little bit of controversy, with 50 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: many people accusing the Palace of cropping Meghan out of 51 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: the picture, which was taken while they were on a 52 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: royal tour together. Can I just say, firstly, even if 53 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: they had, it's his birthday, so I don't honestly see 54 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: what the problem there would have been. But more importantly, 55 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: the Palace has denied they even did do the crop 56 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: on Meghan. And when you look at the photo site 57 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,800 Speaker 1: the pictures came from, you can see there are actually 58 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: two versions of the same picture, one with Meghan and 59 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: one zoomed in on Harry, and they were both uploaded 60 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: on the same day six years ago. 61 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 2: So there you go. Case closed. 62 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: In another bit of Royal news for you this week, 63 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: just days after releasing a video announcing she'd finished her 64 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: chemotherapy treatment, Kate held her first official meeting in more 65 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: than nine months. She gathered charity bosses involved with her 66 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: early year's work at Windsor Castle, where they discussed the 67 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: initiative and its progress. Now, you might remember during her 68 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: chemo treatment and while she was completely off duty, it 69 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: emerged she was keeping up to date with the scheme 70 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: as it's an area that really means a lot to her, 71 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: so it's not overly surprising that that was the first 72 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 1: thing she turned her attention to once she felt well 73 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 1: enough to be able to do so, finishing up with 74 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: a bit of a fun royal story for you to 75 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: kick off. Though who knew the late Queen Elizabeth was 76 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: a fan of Game of Thrones. 77 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 2: I can't quite imagine it anyway. 78 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: One of the stars of the show, Kit Harrington, once 79 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: revealed that she turned up with a security and aids 80 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: intel of course, to check out the set of the 81 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: major fantasy series. But despite everyone their's please, he said, 82 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: there was one thing she simply refused to do. Here 83 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: he is telling Graham Norton about it, as to. 84 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 2: The captch on a pusher to sit down on the throne, 85 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 2: And we kept getting told the same thing, which is 86 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: she's not allowed to sit on other throne, fictional or otherwise. 87 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 2: It's amazing that there's such a specific rule for that.
