1
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: Advice Shot. It's he lower lower, lower lower. Welcome to

2
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: the Naughty but Nice Show. I'm your host, Rob Shooter,

3
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: and it is Thursday, which means our dear friend Mark

4
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 1: Lee Bow joins us. Hey, Lubi there, Lippy louis here,

5
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: Hey Lupilus. We prepare for this podcast. Let's let everybody

6
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: in behind the scenes here. Let's let's draw the curtain back.

7
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,480
Speaker 1: Pull that curtain back. So we prepare, and even though

8
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: it's not scripted, we do have a lineup. We have

9
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: our stories. We know what we're going to talk about.

10
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: We talk about it the night before, we text each other,

11
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: we go back and forth with ideas, so we have

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: a whole outline for a show. And I think that's

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: one of the reasons thankfully our podcast us so well,

14
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: is that we come prepared. It's not just two friends,

15
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: Mark chattering for chatting, chatting away for thirty rambling on minutes.

16
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: We we know all those podcasts out there, and I'm

17
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: not trashing them. I'm not. They're really fun, but I

18
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: try to make this as polished and as professional as possible.

19
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: You Mark, I We've worked on TV shows, We've worked

20
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: on radio shows. This is how real A list TV

21
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: show works, Yes, exactly, So another that before, we have

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: a full idea of what the show is going to

23
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: be every night. Yes, And they do this on television too.

24
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 1: When you turn on and you see Hoda and Savannah,

25
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: they're not just chatting away. This is not just random thoughts.

26
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: The show is mapped out and it gives the show

27
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: a structure, a framework. So we do that always the

28
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: night before. But then this morning, I woke up early

29
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: to go on TV and talk about Harry and they're

30
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: gonna part two, and it's just so much stuff that

31
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: I've thrown out the script. Mark, you didn't know I

32
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: was going to do this, but I've thrown out the script.

33
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: So we're flying blind, so to speak, today, And instead

34
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: of going over all the news that we are going

35
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: to cover, we're just going to dedicate this entire episode

36
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,919
Speaker 1: to part two of Megan and Harry. So don't worry.

37
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: It's not really spoiler alerts. It's it's the headlines. It's

38
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: it's our interpretation of what's going on here. So even

39
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 1: if you haven't watched the show yet, don't worry. You

40
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: can still listen to the podcast. Now. I think it'll

41
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: actually make the viewing experience even better because you'll have

42
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: some real insights. Hey are you ready to jump in?

43
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: My friends? Who I'm a bit nervous. Hey, what time

44
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: is it? It is t time? Okay. So the biggest

45
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: story for me, the biggest takeaway from the newer part

46
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: two documentary is that Harry reveals that he was heartbroken

47
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: after Prince William, his brother, broke their pack. Let me

48
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: explain what this is. So the two of them agreed

49
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: they made a pack that they would not let each

50
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: other's office trade negative stories about each other. Harry said

51
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: the following quote, William and I saw what happened when

52
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: add AD's office, Remember their dad's office allegedly leaked stories

53
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: about Princess Diana. So they saw that, and they said,

54
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: we made an agreement as young boys, and agreement as

55
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: young boys growing up, we're never ever going to let

56
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: that happen to our offices. And then Harry said, I

57
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: would rather get destroyed in the press then play along

58
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: with this game or this business of trading. And to

59
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: see my brother's office do the same thing that we

60
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: promised each other we would never do is heartbreaking. This

61
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: is a bomb, shall Mark, because what's going on here

62
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: is Harry is a llegend that the negative press that

63
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: he got that Megan got came maybe not from his brother,

64
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: but from his brother's office. I mean, Rob, it's just

65
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: so amazing to hear this because they're sort of attachment

66
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: from the reality that most of us live, like we

67
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: have a problem with our siblings. We don't think about like, well,

68
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: their office releases story. I mean, it must be incredibly

69
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: hurtful to know that your your brother is somehow involved

70
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: in in your demise, you know, in the press right

71
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: it's it's it's shocking revelation. Now I should point out

72
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: to somebody that has been a publicist for big stars,

73
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: this is how it works. It really is how it works.

74
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: In my PR days, the hottest star that I represented

75
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,679
Speaker 1: was Jennifer Lopez. She was the one that everybody wanted

76
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: on the cover, and I certainly made it clear that

77
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: if you want Jennifer Lopez on the cover of this magazine,

78
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: you have to put Alicia Keys on it. On a

79
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: different months, I also represented Alicia Keys. I traded all

80
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: the time Jessica Simpson and Ashley Simpson. I had both sisters,

81
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: and everybody wanted Jessica. Nobody wanted Ashley. I know, it's

82
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: all I know, but there really was sort of a

83
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: deal where if Entertainment Tonight wanted to talk to Jessica,

84
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: then I expected a really nice piece on Ashley Simpson.

85
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: You've dealt with publicist Mark throughout your career. This trading.

86
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: It's part of the game. It is, and as a

87
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: reporter at US Weekly for many years, it was the

88
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: same kind of thing. It's like, if you want the scoop,

89
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: you'll have to, you know, give my other client a

90
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: feature that might be as well known. I've done that

91
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: for people, you know, random fitness instructors and blah blah.

92
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: But then you get this this huge scoop which could

93
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 1: be you know, a changing moment for you or for

94
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: the outlet you're working for. Yeah, whenever I see somebody's

95
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: hairdresser getting a page feature in the vagazine, I'm like, oh,

96
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: they're talking about that. Start. There's the way they would

97
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: get four pages on how to do a perfect button? Now, well,

98
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: how to do a perfect ponytail or their life if

99
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: they were trading stuff. It's the same in page six

100
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: and the gossip columns. If you really look closely, you'll

101
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: know who the sources are. Because the fingerprints are everywhere.

102
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: If there's something that stands out that shouldn't really be there,

103
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: that feels too much of a promotion, then the person

104
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: they're promoting is most likely the person who's given them

105
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: good discs. So I hate that their brothers and has

106
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 1: happened to them within the family, but it is how

107
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: the game is played, and I think it's naive of

108
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: Harry to not understand that. He also said that the

109
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: moment everything exploded, the moment the negative press was overwhelming,

110
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: was after their two thousand and eighteen really successful tour

111
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: of Australia. Remember when they went to Australia, they were

112
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: they were everywhere. We love them, they were funny, Harry

113
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: said the following, and are shocked he said it. He said,

114
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: quote the issue is when somebody who's marrying Ina into

115
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 1: the family, who should be the supporting act, is stealing

116
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 1: the spotlight or is doing the job better than the

117
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: person who was born to do this. So he's saying

118
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: here that Megan at Sean, his brother, Kate, the Queen, everybody,

119
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: he said, it shifts the balance and this can lead

120
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: to the perception that all your charities and your reputation

121
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: it's not going to grow if you're not on the

122
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: front pages. So this is such an insight into a

123
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: really messed up family. You're worth is on how many

124
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: covers you're on. We know this from celebrities, Mark A

125
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: lot of celebrities love to be in the press. The

126
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: housewives are the are the clearest example of this. They

127
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: feel like they're dying if we're not talking about them,

128
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: so they keep doing more and more outrageous things, saying

129
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: stupid stuff so that we talk about them. They value

130
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: their self by how much press they get. Harry is

131
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: saying that happened too within the family. It's such a

132
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: great point. And that was a revelation that I really

133
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: enjoyed learning this morning because when I worked at US Weekly,

134
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: the story that was the big you know, Megan was

135
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: everything to us at that time. Everything every week she

136
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: was on the cover, cover, cover, every online story is Megan, Megan, Megan,

137
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: and you know, everyone else kind of got lost in

138
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,559
Speaker 1: the shovel. And I can see how they would create

139
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: jealousy and jealous Yeah, it was wild, isn't it? And

140
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: I just got the numbers. At the end of the year,

141
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: Google gives out their most searched person. It's Megan a million.

142
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: Kate comes in number two, then Harry and William's last.

143
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: But it's amazing the competitiveness, and we know that too.

144
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: Famous people are so competitive. They pretend not to be,

145
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: but they know exactly how much press another person's getting

146
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: in my pr days. I'm not going to name who,

147
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: but I think you might know him. He's a famous rapper. Hello, didude.

148
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: If he ever saw another rapper getting more pressed than him,

149
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: he was furious. I knew, I knew he would change

150
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: his name the next day because he needed to get

151
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: the spat light back on himself. Okay, let's move on

152
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: with the royals. Harry said that he wants a genuine

153
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: apology from the Royals. Well, he shouldn't hold his breath,

154
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: so he said the following quote. None of us really

155
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: wanted to talk at my grandfather's funeral, but we did

156
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: remember after the funeral, Kate set them up to talk

157
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: and then they had a meeting afterwards. He said, it

158
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: was really hard, especially spending time having chats with my

159
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: brother and my father, who were focused on some misinterpretation

160
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: of the whole situation. I'd like to know exactly what

161
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: that means here because he thinks they have misinterpreted what

162
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: is going on. He added, I've had to make peace

163
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: with the fact that I'm probably never going to get

164
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: a genuine apology. My wife and I were moving on,

165
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: We're focused on the next chapter. Well, I don't think

166
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: that's quite true, because you are now talking about your past.

167
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: If you were really focusing on the next chapter, you

168
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: wouldn't be doing this exactly. And I think this narrative,

169
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, them being misunderstood or treated poorly. We're tired

170
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: of it, and it's and it's all they've been talking about.

171
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what there is to talk about at

172
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: this point. Like you've said it over and over and

173
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: over again. Right, we've had it in our own lives.

174
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: Have you had a friend that you fell out with

175
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: and you both see the same event through totally different eyes,

176
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: Like it's just it was like different events, Like we

177
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: went to the same party and something can't and and

178
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: we both interpreted it in a different way, and we'll

179
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: never ever agree. We're never going to agree on that. No.

180
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 1: But and I I don't think that going on TV

181
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: and talking about it for hours it's going to help

182
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: you get that apology. I think you've just solidified and

183
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: you'll never get that apology, right, right, right, Well, Harry

184
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: claims the Palace lied when denying that Prince William bullied

185
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: them out of the family. So Harry heavily hinted this

186
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,680
Speaker 1: was a bombshell. He heavily hinted that the real reason

187
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: behind exit was his brother, Prince William, and he accused

188
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: the Palace of lying to protect the heir to the throne.

189
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: And so Harry recalls, on the same day as the

190
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 1: Sandrington's summit, that's when they all got together with the Queen,

191
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: a story came out saying that part of the reason

192
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: they were leaving was because William had bullied them out.

193
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: Harry said the following. Once I got in the car

194
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: after the meeting, I was told about a joint statement

195
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: that had been put out in my name and my

196
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: brothers quatching the story about him bullying us out of

197
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: the family. I couldn't believe it. Nobody had asked my

198
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: permission to put my name on the statement like that,

199
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: He seived, strongly, suggesting that he would not have made

200
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 1: this denial. So he ranked M. That's Megan, So we

201
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: ranked M, and she burst into tears, not helping Megan,

202
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: and then the young Prince said the saddest part of

203
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: the whole scandal was the wedge this had created between

204
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: him and his brother. You know, I it's sorry to

205
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: say what the truth is here. I would imagine there

206
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: is some truth somewhere in the middle of all this.

207
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: But Rob, we have to remember that the firm, the institution,

208
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: this is a business and they have to protect their assets.

209
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: And right now William is going to inherit this throne.

210
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: He's going to inherit the business. And I don't I

211
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: am not surprised at all that they would do what

212
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 1: they have to do to make sure that this continues

213
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: on and it can be so stainable. They look after

214
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: the boss. You know it. In your own office, your

215
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: own shop, your own restaurant. You're not going to beat

216
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: the boss. They will look after the boss. I've been

217
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: fired many times because I've took home the boss. You

218
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: can't if you're going to fight. I don't want you

219
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: to bully people, but if you can fight, fight with

220
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: somebody a little lower down on the totem pole. Bark

221
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: because if you fight with the boss, you're not going

222
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: to win. And William is the boss here. He's going

223
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: to be the king, and everything is really created around

224
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: William to make sure this happened. I did laugh though.

225
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: Harry said that his brother screamed at him. I can

226
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: imagine it now. So he said, I was terrified to

227
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: have my brother scream and shout at me and my

228
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: father say things that simply were not true. He defended

229
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: his late grandmother, So his grandmother was at this meeting.

230
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: So it was Charles, it was William, it was the queen,

231
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: and he defended his grandmother, and he said she just

232
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: sat there and took it all in, noting that her

233
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: goal in life has been to defend the institution. He

234
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: did point out, though, if people telling her something, particularly

235
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: if it's Charles and William, she's probably going to take

236
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: that advice. He ultimately said that they finished the meeting

237
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: without any plan, and he said that his family blamed

238
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: him and his wife for the situation, not the institution

239
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: and not the media. That's the fundamental problem here. They

240
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: blame Harry and Megan for this mess. Partly right, Megan

241
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: and Harry blame the media and the institution. They're partly

242
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: right too. They both can be right, but no one's

243
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: willing to budge here, No, I mean right, this is

244
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: just it's a reminder that they're just like us. This

245
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: is the most dysfunctional, bizarre thing, and there they are

246
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: no better than any other dysfunctional family in America or

247
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: anywhere else. And so this makes me laugh, like just imagining,

248
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: like if I screamed my brother Jonathan, which he used

249
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 1: to it, I mean, yeah, I just would be laughed.

250
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: I can imagine Williams Jonathan ever screamed at you. I

251
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: mean that in recent years, but he has. I'm of

252
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: the screamer. I would screw more of the screamer. Well,

253
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: you're the William. You're the older brother. Correct, that's so

254
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan's Harry, Harry, you're William. I'm the Harry because my

255
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: brother Douglas is older. He screamed at me about a

256
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: year ago. I got a vicious email. I know, my

257
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: father had gone to the hospital and everybody was a

258
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: little on edge. And I'm three thousand miles away and

259
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: five hours behind, so my edge was probably a little sharp.

260
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: Or my brother Douglas always screwed. I tell you, I

261
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: was terrified, just like just like Harry terrified. Okay, moving along,

262
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: William's last text to Harry. That's a good cover line

263
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: for US Weekly, isn't it? The last text? So Megan's

264
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: on the phone to Tyler Perry as she would be

265
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: chatting away, and she said, Tyler, h just got a

266
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: text from his brother. And then she said, all right,

267
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you later. So she she hangs up,

268
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: and Harry puts his heir Oh my goodness, his head

269
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: down into his knees and he's sort of size. I

270
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: wish I knew what to do. It's so dramatic, and

271
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: it's very surprising. The cameras happened to be there for this.

272
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: It's very real. House moves. Megan hugs him. She hugs him,

273
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: and she says, I know, let's take a breather, get

274
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: some air, and then decide. Of course, the dramatic content

275
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: of the text we don't know. It wasn't revealed. What

276
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: do you think that text said? It said, are you

277
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: filming Netflix? I mean, I'm still stuck with the fact

278
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: that William uses the cell phone. I didn't know that

279
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: the Royals had access to I guess, but I mean,

280
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what the last quote unquote text said.

281
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: It probably said still don't ever talk to me again,

282
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: or you know you're out of the family. I don't know,

283
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: but I want my crown back, my crown back, jewels again.

284
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: So dysfunctional. I can't imagine like ending your relationship on

285
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: the on the text. You know this is your brother,

286
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: Come on, but I know, But have you I've had

287
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: some fights on text, Mark, I'm ashamed to admit it.

288
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: I have, and I've always said to myself, I'll call

289
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: them the next day, and often I don't rub I know,

290
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: I don't. I try to be honestly, I try to

291
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: be the boy if Mark, if I said you, if

292
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 1: we fall out, it's going to say the last text

293
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: really dramatic, and the last that's that's that's in fact,

294
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: that might be the entire content, the last text about it.

295
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: And like Scandal as Plaze. The one part of the

296
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: documentary that I thought was kind of charming and really

297
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: made me full of hope was right in the beginning

298
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: where Harry filmed them on the Freedom flight. So he

299
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: was leaving the UK for the very last time, flying

300
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: to California, and he breaks out into this huge smile

301
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: and he starts to to chuckle, and he says he's laughing.

302
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: He's on a freedom flight. It was the most obvious

303
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: place to come. He looks so happy here. Part of

304
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: me questions, then, if you're so happy leaving, why are

305
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: we going back. I know it's about the money, and

306
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: that's not a crude thing to say. They're getting a

307
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. They gotta pay their bills. I'm not

308
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 1: slamming them for that. It's just so curious. If this

309
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 1: time is so painful it clearly is, why are they

310
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: reliving it? I don't know, but I do want to

311
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: plug something about myself. The day they announced that they

312
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: were leaving the institution, I was like, you know what,

313
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: I need to call Megan's father and I called. I

314
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: called Thomas. I was like Thomas, Hello, He's like hello.

315
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: Of like, hey, it's more most weekly. I want to

316
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: know how you feel about your daughter leaving the institution.

317
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: He said to me, I'm very disappointed. And I was like, wow,

318
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: I just I became part of this history. That just

319
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: become part of this story. Become part of the story.

320
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: I love that we have access to these people. Back

321
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: to Tyler Perry. So Tyler Perry that pops up to

322
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: and he compares the treatment of Megan to battery. He

323
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: said that he saw his mom abused for yours and

324
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: he knows the symptoms, and this is what it was like.

325
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: Tyler allowed them to stay in one of his mansions. Now,

326
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: meg and says the Royal family blocked her from getting

327
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: help while suicidal. This is something not to be laughed at.

328
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: This is really serious and I just can't imagine this happened,

329
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: and if he did, there needs to be an inquiry

330
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: about this. So she said, I wanted to go somewhere

331
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: and get help, and I just wasn't allowed. They were

332
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: concerned about how it would look for the institution. After

333
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: admitting his own shame about this, Harry went on to

334
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: say that he just didn't know what to do and

335
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: he just couldn't. I couldn't figure this out. Nobody, he said,

336
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: would have a private conversation with the newspaper editors, saying enough.

337
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: His dad told him, quote, darling boy, you can't take

338
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: on the media, and Harry replied, I fundamentally disagree, and

339
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: I think that's the sense of this documentary that is

340
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: all over the place. Is it the palace's fault? Is

341
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: it the family's fault? Is it William's fault. Is it

342
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: the media's fault? It seems that they are blaming everybody

343
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: here for this situation that they partly created themselves. Mark, Yeah, exactly.

344
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: I think there's blame to be had all around. And

345
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: you know what, My understanding is that the British media

346
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: and the Royal Institution have some kind of connection. There

347
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: is that exchange of like, we'll give you access to

348
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: our lives and it's the trade. And again it isn't it.

349
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: But you can't control the US media. You haven't control

350
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: that we're going to publish a story. We're gonna publish

351
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: a story. You have no control over that. So no control.

352
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: I think it must be hard for them when when

353
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: they realize that they don't have the say in everything,

354
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: and you can't have a provor on every story, you know,

355
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: good or bad. Right. I remember when I was working

356
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: with Jessica Simpson, there was a bad story on her

357
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: and I tried to trade the press. It was a

358
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: true story, so I couldn't kill it. It was true

359
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: and it was not good, and I was like, well,

360
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: why don't we sort of let that go away? And

361
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: you do at home with Jessica for Christmas or baby

362
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving with Christmas. If ever you see a celebrity on

363
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: the cover of a magazine cooking the turk or opening

364
00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: a Christmas gift, you know there is truy. Well, so

365
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 1: we didn't do a break on this show. My heart

366
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: is going to be furious, but it's all about us

367
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: today and Megan naughty, So let's end with two more delicious,

368
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: delicious items. Maybe the most curious thing said is that

369
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: Megan said she always were seen as a foreign organism

370
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: in the Royal family. So she had a chat with

371
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: Harry's private secretary, who works for the Queen for almost

372
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: twenty years, and he described the Royal family the institution

373
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: like a fish that's swimming perfectly in its own current,

374
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: and then this little organism comes along and it's a

375
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: foreign organism and it upsets everything. And the advice was basically,

376
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: don't swim against the tide. You're not gonna win. The

377
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 1: family is going to win. Not bad advice, not bad advice,

378
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: not bet advice. And she is she was the you

379
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: know that, the addition, the new person, and she brought

380
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: something very different. And I think that always is hard

381
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: when you enter a family and you're you're the new

382
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: person and you're not accustomed to those traditions. Who again,

383
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: it goes back to the showing them that are showing

384
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: us at least that they are just like us. They are,

385
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: they're just like well to show how just like us

386
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,439
Speaker 1: they really are. This one makes me scream and I

387
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: think they're going to get some bad press for this.

388
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: They claim that their royal house was just too small,

389
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: so literally too small. Harry complained, as far as people

390
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: were concerned, we were living in a palace, but we're

391
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: actually in a cottage. And then Negan pipes up we

392
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: were in the palace grounds. So Kensington Palace. It sounds

393
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: very regal, doesn't it. I mean, palace is even in

394
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: the name, but not Ingham Cottage is not Kensington Palace.

395
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: The six ft one prince complained, the ceilings are really low.

396
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,959
Speaker 1: I don't know who lived here before me, but they

397
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: must be really short. Not a good look. This is

398
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: not a good look. We have rent free on the

399
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: grounds of Kensington Alls. It might be a cottage, but

400
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,239
Speaker 1: we would kill for this cottage. Of course. You know,

401
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: it was really fascinating to seeing pictures of them at

402
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: home and like seeing their mess and the shoes on

403
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: the floor and like the clothes like it's just a

404
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: really fascinating and side look into like this one's life.

405
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: But I mean to then go to Tyler Perry's humongous mansion.

406
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: It's like, come on, come on, I don't think they're

407
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 1: doing themselves any good with this, just to wrap up

408
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: explosive bonds shells they went there with, particularly William Williams,

409
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,400
Speaker 1: the one that he went after here to claim William

410
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: was behind or his staff was behind leaks. Is that

411
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: Rachel's The stuff about suicide is just heartbreaking and hopefully

412
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 1: if that's true, their changes are made within the palace overall,

413
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 1: really worth sitting down and watching. I'm not sure you

414
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: need to do the whole three hours, but fascinating, you know,

415
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: six hours. They do come across a little winey though.

416
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 1: I have to say that there's a little bit of

417
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: a say. They live like they're so rich Mark, everything

418
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: around them so luxurious. Mark. They don't have a job

419
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: like we do that they have to go to every day,

420
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 1: so they have to be careful here. But I guess

421
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: that cat is already out of the bag. That is

422
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: it for today. Thank you so much for listening to
