1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,759
Speaker 1: So what a fantastically uplifting site the return to public

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: life and the Princess of Wales was yesterday, wasn't it

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: Beck for the trooping of the Calor alongside her husband

4
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: of father in law. The kids were their royal editor

5
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: of the Daily Mail, Russell Myers, as with us on

6
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: this Russell, very good morning to you.

Speaker 2: Good morning Mike.

8
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: I mean I'm a super fan, but I mean she

9
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: looked fantastic, The family looked fantastic. It was just the

10
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: whole thing was just magnificent, wasn't it when it.

11
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 2: Was I mean, you know, went off without a hitch

12
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 2: and I think, you know, good scenes compared to what

13
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: we were expecting, or you know, thinking about what we

14
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: would expect just a few weeks ago. Of course, the

15
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: King and the Princess of Wales have at a pretty

16
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: tumultuous time of it over the last few weeks and months,

17
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: both being diagnosed with cancer in February and having their

18
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: treatment every week since then, so we didn't know whether

19
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: we were going to see the King, and then of

20
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: course the Princess of Wales has been out of duty

21
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 2: since Christmas and we haven't seen her at all. But

22
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: you know, fantastic scenes on the balcone, the kids, you know,

23
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: lighting up the event as well, and you know, went

24
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: off without the hitch is great.

25
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: The I'm sure you've seen the photo. There was a

26
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: photo on the balcony. Her eyes met his, his eyes

27
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: that that photo was just gold, wasn't it told you

28
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 1: a million things?

29
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 2: Well it did, I mean, you know, and a lot

30
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: of people had we had this sort of crazy speculation

31
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: when Kate was unwell, and then of course she had

32
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: to come out and tell the world that she'd had

33
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: been suffering this sort of cancer diagnosis in the background,

34
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 2: and all the weight of expectation on her about when

35
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: she was going to be seen again. And certainly, you know,

36
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 2: I just broke a story about the people allegedly accessing

37
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 2: her private medical data. It's been a real, real tough

38
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: time for her. But she looked fantastic. She said herself

39
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: just the day before that there's been good days and

40
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 2: bad days, and she was hoping to try and get

41
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: back to some sort of normality over the next few

42
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: weeks and you know, returning to work at home and

43
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: trying to do things over the summer. But certainly her

44
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: family and especially her husbands have been a great, great source.

45
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,919
Speaker 1: Of comfort, and we've seen that beautiful Father's Day photo

46
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: today as well. Do we have any actual official comment

47
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: on what we expect moving forward for her for the

48
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: rest of the year or not.

49
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: Well, certainly, well, you know, people are spoken to it

50
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: at the palace and said, listen, this is a very

51
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 2: tentative time. She needs the time to rest and recuperate.

52
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: That we can't make assumptions of how she's going to

53
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: be feeling from one week or the next. But she

54
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: did say a very moving statement just the day before trooping,

55
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: this statement that she delivered on Friday, saying that she

56
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 2: was enjoying getting back to some sort of normality that's

57
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: very important for cancer patients. She said that she's going

58
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 2: to try and get to some engagement in the summer.

59
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: We don't know what they're going to look like at

60
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: the moment, but I imagine they'll take the vein of

61
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: her main projects, the early years developed and the mental

62
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: health products that she's so involved in. And I think that,

63
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: as I said, baby steps for now, a very tentative time,

64
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: but hopefully we're going to see her before too long.

65
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 1: Look, all right, Russell, catch up with you. So I

66
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,320
