1
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 2: It's is breaking this morning that King Charles has been

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 2: diagnosed with cancer. Channel sevens Hugh Whitfield is at Buckingham

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 2: Palace with the latest. Hello, Hugh, this is a reverse

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: charge CORPS. Good morning. Now. From what we know you,

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: this cancer is not related to the King's prostate, which

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: is what had him hospitalized in recent weeks.

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 3: That's correct, are we recording now?

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 1: Yes? Five years? Don't say we okay, okay, fantastic. Yes,

10
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: we've done related to the prostate. So we don't know

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: what sort of cancer it is, but it is not

12
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: prosstate cancer. However, it was found during the King's hospital

13
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: stay about ten days ago. There was an issue of concern,

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: a separate issue of concern. It was identified by his

15
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: doctors and then it was later identified as a form

16
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: of cancer. So when Charles left hospital on Monday last week,

17
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: he knew that there was the possibility that he was

18
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 1: going to be diagnosed with cancer. It would appear that

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: in subsequent days he has been diagnosed with cancer. He

20
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: has spoken with his two sons William and Harry, and

21
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: his siblings Andrew and Edward to share the news, and

22
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: he has already begun treatment. He spent the weekend in Sandringham,

23
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: the King's Norfolk estate, where he went to church on

24
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: Sunday and then returned to London today here so in

25
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,919
Speaker 1: the last probably six or seven hours and has begun

26
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: treatment as an outpatient.

27
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: Right, is this room for time for concern? Have we

28
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: got any idea of how serious the nature is of this?

29
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: Look? The indication that I have is that this has

30
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: been found very fortunately because Charles went to hof for

31
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: treatment for his prostate, he's been treated as an outpatient,

32
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 3: so he's not being admitted to a hospital for an

33
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: extended period of extremely serious cancer treatment. Now, obviously there's

34
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: lots of people will know people who've been treated for cant. Yes,

35
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 3: he could be in and out of hospital. We're told

36
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: that Childs is being treated as an outpatient and that

37
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 3: he's going to continue with some of his work behind

38
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 3: the scene, so reviewing state papers every day. He's going

39
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: to be meeting with the Prime Minister as well as

40
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: he does on a weekly basis. Well, I'm not sure

41
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: that there is one hundred percent like extreme concern, but

42
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 3: there's a level of course, I think because he years

43
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: seventy five and he is the King. Yes, and you know,

44
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 3: we never got this sort of detail about his father

45
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 3: or indeed his father really and they seem to live forever.

46
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: But I guess in this sort of situation we're kind

47
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: of reminded that despite the fact he where's the crown,

48
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: he's human.

49
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: And a tough time for the royal family with Kate Middleton.

50
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 2: We don't know any further details of her illness either,

51
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: but hard time for the royal family.

52
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. Look absolutely, Kate only came out of hospital last week. William,

53
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: having cut back on his duties to look after her

54
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 3: and their children, he used due to return to public

55
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: duties on Wednesday. Here he's got an investiture where they

56
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 3: hand out in the MBN in Wednesday in Windsor, and

57
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: then he's got a reception that night. He along with

58
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 3: the Queen are essentially really the only very senior working

59
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: Royals right now, because it would appear that child is

60
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: going to be out of action. Give you many many

61
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: weeks who were kind of given the indication that he

62
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: was going to be off for about a month to

63
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: recover from that prostate procedure. Now that he's receive in

64
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: cancer treatment, you'd have to expect that it's going to

65
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: be a lot longer than just a month. And of

66
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: course Kate's out until after Easter, so you know, there

67
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: these are serious health concerns for two very senior members

68
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: of the royal family and big implications. Really, maybe Harry's

69
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: got to come back into the fold.

70
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: Maybe this is Harry's time. Well, they cut the royal

71
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: family down to it down to less duties, but maybe

72
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: we need that.

73
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: They got to spread them out.

74
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: And Andrews saying, oh, give it a go. Don't worry, mate,

75
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: it's okay. You just hang there.

76
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: Well, look, Harry, Harry's on his Harry will be coming

77
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: back in the next couple of days. We're told that

78
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: he'll be coming across without Meghan and the children, but

79
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: we'll come. You know, when you consider what's been going

80
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 3: on over the last couple of years here in terms

81
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 3: of those personal differences between the King and his two sons,

82
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: maybe this is a time where Harry can can kind

83
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: of put that to one side and recognize that he

84
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 3: needs to kind of pull his head in a little

85
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 3: bit and be there for his father who's going to

86
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: go through a difficult time. He's going through a difficult time.

87
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: Well done, well, that's what we know at the moment.

88
