1 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,959 Speaker 1: From the Newsroom a new STI conqu. 2 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,320 Speaker 2: Hey, I'm Brontie Ky. Welcome to the weekend edition of 3 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 2: From the Newsroom, which is all about the Royals. We're 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 2: going to go behind palace walls to cover the big 5 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 2: news of the week, including what Harry and Meghan's new 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 2: Netflix deal really means for their TV future, the latest 7 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 2: on Harry's charity dramas, and why Prince Andrew is making 8 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 2: headlines for all the wrong reasons again. But first up, 9 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 2: it's the latest on Harry and Meghan's Netflix deal. Well, 10 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 2: after months of speculation, we finally have confirmation of what 11 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 2: Harry and Meghan's future at Netflix looks like. The couple's 12 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 2: original five year, eye wateringly expensive deal has expired and 13 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 2: they're now on a new first look contract, as the 14 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: streamer announced this week. It means they're basically on a 15 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,240 Speaker 2: retainer when Netflix gets first DIBs on any of their projects, 16 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: but if it passes, they can then shop them around 17 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: to other studios. Understandably, this deal is worth significantly less 18 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 2: than the original. So when it comes to the pr 19 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: of it all, how's this turned out for Harry and Meghan? 20 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,279 Speaker 2: Here I am discussing that very topic with the Sun's 21 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 2: Royal Editor Matt Wilkinson on the Royal Exclusive show this week. 22 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Sussex's have signed this new agreement with Netflix. Is 23 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: it a good deal? Do we believe this deal? Is 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: it more of an art of the spin? Does everyone 25 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: save face in this deal? 26 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: I think everyone has saved face. I think this is 27 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: the ideal outcome for both parties. We've talked about what 28 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 2: was going to be next for Harry and Meghan in 29 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: their Netflix business arm for a long time now, because 30 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 2: we knew that this five year deal was going to 31 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 2: expire this year. What was going to be the ideal outcome. Okay, 32 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 2: they're not going to sign a deal anything like the 33 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,320 Speaker 2: one that was signed in twenty twenty because they don't 34 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 2: really exist anymore. That the landscape has changed completely for 35 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: TV but streaming services in particular, and so it did 36 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 2: seem likely that there would either be a downgrad deal 37 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 2: or an expiration of the deal. Now the fact that 38 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: they both parties can say we've reached a new agreement. 39 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: It was never going to be what it was before, 40 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 2: but it is a newman and I think that an 41 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: argument could be made on either side that it's a 42 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 2: pr win because the deal wasn't canceled as had been 43 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: you know, it's speculated for some time. It's a first 44 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: look deal. The Obamas are on a very similar one, 45 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 2: so they're sort of in I guess company that they 46 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: would be happy with In that regard, I think that 47 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 2: it also means that Netflix is able to and after 48 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: this is crucially after what we've seen as their output 49 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 2: other than the Harry and Meghan series. You know, they 50 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 2: really fail and we love Meghan. You know that's going 51 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 2: to find its feet and we'll see with season two, 52 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 2: but the rest of their output hasn't really set the 53 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 2: world on fire. Next up, what's next for Prince Harry 54 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 2: after the fallout from the scandal engulfing his former charity. Well, 55 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,359 Speaker 2: it's been a turbulent few weeks for Harry, with the 56 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 2: charity Watchdog handing down its findings into his former charity 57 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 2: center Bala months after a very public row between Harry 58 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: and his co founder, Prince Aso and the organization's chair, 59 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: Sophie Chanduka. For those who don't know, Santa Barley was 60 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: established in two thousand and six in honor of the 61 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 2: Prince's late mothers and it's apport children and young people 62 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: in Lesto and Botswana, particularly those affected by HIV and AIDS. 63 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 2: The Princes, along with several trustees of the charity, stepped 64 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 2: down from their positions with the charity earlier this year 65 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: amid an irreparable relationship breakdown with Miss Chandolka. With an 66 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: investigation into allegations made about its internal issues now complete, 67 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: there's been plenty of chat about Harry's next move. Here 68 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 2: I am discussing it all on the Royal Exclusive Show because. 69 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: Someone fielm me and what's happening with Harry and center Bartie. 70 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: It all sounds ugly and what's happening ugly. 71 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 2: Is the right word there was. The charity Watchdog released 72 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: its findings recently and basically it gave everyun a wrap 73 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: on the wrist, saying this shouldn't been played out so publicly, 74 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 2: but there weren't investigations into individual bullying. They said that 75 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: people there was a perception of ill treatment that may 76 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 2: have impacted people's time working in the charity. Basically, as 77 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 2: you say, it's just been a very ugly public mess 78 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: and it is sad because you know, on all sides, 79 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: I don't think there's any I don't think anyone's come 80 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: out of this particularly well, but you know from a 81 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 2: lot of reports, Harry's completely devastated. This is the charity 82 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: he's set up more than it's about twenty years ago, 83 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 2: you know, in honor of his late mother, and it 84 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 2: clearly meant a lot to him. But you know, now 85 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: he's had this, he's stepped back, and what he's going 86 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: to do next is the big question. It seems from 87 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 2: his camp that he's keeping all the options on the table. 88 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: I do wonder if a part of that is him 89 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 2: wondering what happens to Santa Bali without him and Prince 90 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: sso their involvement, you know, does funding drop so dramatically 91 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: that perhaps Sofi Chandoka the chair has to step back, 92 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: and then there's an opportunity for them to step back in. 93 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: Maybe that's why he won't establish a charity. It does 94 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 2: seem like he's considering his options. I suppose it would 95 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: make sense if there is absolutely no way back for 96 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 2: him into Center Bali in the future, that he may 97 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 2: set up something in the region that does similar work. 98 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: That seems to be his passion. But all in all, 99 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: it's been a very ugly chapter. And just seems to 100 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 2: have left everyone looking and feeling pretty bad. Next, more 101 00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 2: unflattering reports about Prince Andrew. Finishing up on Prince Andrew, 102 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,840 Speaker 2: who's at the center of more unflattering claims this week. 103 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 2: So he reportedly unleashed a foul mouthed rant at workers 104 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: near his home who were installing speed bumps recently, confronting 105 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 2: them and shouting quote, what the f are you doing 106 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: now when he spotted them within the Windsor Great Park estate. 107 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: Here are all the details, as discussed on The Sun's 108 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: Royal Exclusive show. 109 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: Okay, so Prince Andrew, that they've installed a series of 110 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 1: speed humps across Windsor Great Park is a private park 111 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,039 Speaker 1: of me and you. We can't drive around there unless 112 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,359 Speaker 1: we're invited guests. So Andrew, I've seen him driving around. 113 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 1: He often looks a bit like Toad of Toad Hall. 114 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: He's whizzing around in his range, drove buzzing pass photographers 115 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: who are waiting for him outside. That they've installed these 116 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: speed humps. And he was out on his horse, literally 117 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: his high horse, the other day, and he peered down 118 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: at one of the workmen and said, what the f 119 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: are you doing now? He's got the hump about speed humps. 120 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: You with Andrew, Do you like speed humps? 121 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: Never with Andrew, but particularly here. Okay, First of all, 122 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 2: don't speak to people that are just doing their job 123 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 2: like that. It's upsetting immediately, no matter who you are. 124 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: I hate that. Secondly, if I'm going to be a 125 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: bit cynical about it, if you're Andrew and you have 126 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 2: the reputation that you have, oh god, man, help yourself, 127 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 2: help yourself. Be nice to people at the very least 128 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 2: at this point. Really, that's all you've got. As soon 129 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: as I read this, I thought, it's just he has 130 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: so much form in this area. There's been so many 131 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: stories like this where he's yelled at staff of really 132 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 2: ridiculously tiny things and made people feel I think there 133 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: was one about a gardener a couple of years ago 134 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 2: who was then moved on because he was so horrible 135 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: to them. Things like this that really upsets me when 136 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 2: people are just doing their job and going about it. 137 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 2: Also amazing reference with Toad of Toad Hall. That's still 138 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 2: that's some sticky but I just as soon as I 139 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 2: read this, I thought, of course, of course, Prince Andrew 140 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: has such form in this area. And it's so gross. 141 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 2: I really hate when people are treated badly for doing 142 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 2: their job. Anyway, that's your Royal fix for now. Thanks 143 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 2: for listening.
