1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,280 Speaker 1: Right now into brady Ow UK correspondence with us Eloinda. 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 2: Hey, Heather, good to speak to you again. 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: Well, so you were right about them stripping last week 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,559 Speaker 1: about them stripping the titles. Will sort of write about 5 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,480 Speaker 1: them stripping the titles from Prince Andrew. But by the 6 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: looks of things, they did not go nearly far enough, 7 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: because now they're being dragged into this business with the rent, 8 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:16,960 Speaker 1: aren't they. 9 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,079 Speaker 3: He hasn't paid any his entire adult life. That's what 10 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 3: we know, discover Prince Andrew has never paid rent, not 11 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 3: only on the Royal Lodge where he lives with Sarah 12 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 3: ferguson different wings of a huge house mansion. They've paid 13 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 3: no rent there since they moved in twenty three years ago. 14 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 3: And then prior to that he was in a place 15 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 3: called sunning Hill Park and his mother was picking up 16 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 3: the tab. So ultimately the taxpayer has funded Andrew's Well 17 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 3: we've known this. He's paid no rent his entire adult life. 18 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 3: Now what's interesting now is during Prime Minister's Questions, the 19 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 3: leader of the Liberal Democrats, Ed Davey, asked the Prime Minister, 20 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 3: Keir Starmer, do you agree we should look at the 21 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 3: Crown Estate and the living arrangements of Andrew so we 22 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 3: can make sure taxpayer's money is being used properly. 23 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: And in terms of. 24 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 3: Looking at the arrangements, what they're calling for is a 25 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 3: Select Committee inquiry looking at the Crown estate, which would 26 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 3: mean MP's grilling people involved, and technically, theoretically they could 27 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: drag Andrew before Parliament knowing Andrew, he's not gonna if 28 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 3: you wouldn't cooperate with the FBI over the abuse of 29 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 3: young girls, He's not going to want to talk about 30 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 3: his own house. 31 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 1: How damaging is it, though, inda the allegations that when 32 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: the last time they did one of these Select Committee 33 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 1: inquiries twenty years ago, when that happened, the Royals blocked 34 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: the information from coming out because obviously they were embarrassed 35 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: by the fact that he didn't he didn't parent. How 36 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: there How damaging is this of the Royals. 37 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 3: I think Andrew is basically a grenade rattling around the 38 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 3: dining room floor at the moment, and people are kicking 39 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 3: it from one end of the room to the next. 40 00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 3: And I think what William wants is him out completely, 41 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 3: not he's out of the Royal family already. I think 42 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 3: what William is pushing for is him into exile. They 43 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 3: certainly want him out of that house. I think it's 44 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 3: extremely damaging. And Charles, you know, he's busy. He's gone 45 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 3: through cancer treatment, he's trying to keep the and trying 46 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 3: to stop the public backlash against his brother. 47 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 2: He must be so angry. 48 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: Now when you say exile, do you do you literally 49 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: mean out of the country. 50 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, what they're talking I was in Westminster yesterday. 51 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 3: I was talking to very well connected people and they're 52 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 3: saying that it is game over for Andrew. Ahead of 53 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 3: steam is building against him which cannot be stopped. That 54 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 3: was the phrase yesterday that I heard from someone who's 55 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 3: extremely well tapped into government and what they're thinking. And 56 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 3: when I say exile, they're talking about some village up 57 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 3: a mountain in Switzerland where him and Sarah Ferguson can 58 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 3: go ski and drink wine all day and reminisce about 59 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 3: the good old days when the UK taxpayer funded their life. 60 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: Because there was a little bit of talk for a 61 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: while that he would be seen somewhere like the Falklands 62 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: or something, some sort of Commonwealth arrangement. We're not going 63 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: to get him lumped on us, are we. 64 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: No, no, relax. Relax. 65 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 3: The parents of teenage children in New Zealand can relax, 66 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: I think. And they're going to send them anywhere. I 67 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 3: think it'd be Switzerland or there's a royal family in 68 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 3: Bahrain who are quite pally with Andrew. Still I know 69 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 3: for a fact he's been to visit them in the 70 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: last two years. 71 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 2: He will go somewhere. But in England it's endgame game almost. 72 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: This is nuclear, isn't it. And look, the thing that 73 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: we were talking about earlier this week was it needed 74 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: to be dealt with relatively quickly, otherwise the King was 75 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: going to be arriving in Rome to pray with the Pope. Sorry, 76 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: and all we're doing is talking about Andrew and that 77 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: is exactly what is happening. 78 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, precisely. So. 79 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 3: Look, they move at glacial pace, the royal family, and 80 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: obviously there's Parliament and there's legislation that would have to 81 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 3: be raced through. Why everything has gone in a flurry 82 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 3: this week, a flurry of activity that hasn't resulted in 83 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 3: any decisiveness. Well, the titles have gone is because the 84 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 3: King is now in Rome. So he arrived last night 85 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 3: with Camilla and they're there it's not a state visit. 86 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: They are there to. 87 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 3: See the Pope and to pray with Leo. And today 88 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 3: you will see very symbolically the head of the Church 89 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 3: of England sitting and praying with the head of the 90 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 3: global Catholic Church in the Sistine Chapel in Rome, so 91 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 3: in the Vatican. 92 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: So it's hugely significant. 93 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 3: The monarch has not prayed with the Pope since the 94 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 3: sixteenth century, I believe, so half a millennia ago. And 95 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 3: Charles wants the headline to be you know, the other 96 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 3: day he went to Manchester to spend time at the 97 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: Jewish community, that synagogue that was attacked. Charles is doing 98 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 3: his utmost you know, pushing eighty, trying to be cancer, 99 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 3: trying to stay alive, trying to keep his family together, 100 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: and this brother of his is just destroying everything. 101 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: Lord, we've all got one. Well, none of us have 102 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: got on Andrew, have we Inda, Thank you very much appreciated. 103 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: Into Brady Correspondent.
