1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Job mission with James and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 2: From Momma Me is canceled podcast. Claire Stevens is here.

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 3: Hello Claire, save us please.

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: Hello. So I've got some news for you guys. So

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,920
Speaker 1: you might have heard over the weekend that there's been

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: some news about Prince Andrew and Prince Harry and maybe

7
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of a double standard going on. So

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to start with Prince Andrew. So late last

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: week Buckingham Palace issued a statement announcing that Andrew is

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: going to be stripped of his military titles. They confirm

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: that Andrew will be defending his current case against Virginia Jeffrey,

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: who has accused him of sexually abusing her when she

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: was underage as a private citizen. And really this is

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: kind of overdue, given that Andrew left public life in

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen after that infamous BBC Newsnight interview where he

16
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: attempted to defend himself against the allegations leveled against him

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: by Juw Frey and his associations with Jeffrey Epstein.

18
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: That was a crazy interview. Do you remember He said

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 3: that he couldn't she claimed that he was sweating on

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 3: her at a nightclub. He said I've lost the ability

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 3: to sweat since the Falklands. And he also said that

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: the reason he flew he was photographed with Jeffrey Epstein,

23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 3: but he said who'd been a convicted child trafficker by then.

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: But he said that he wanted to break off the

25
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: friendship or their casual acquaintanceship by going to his house

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 3: and staying there for four days.

27
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 2: That's what you're doing.

28
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: And so at that time some of his titles and

29
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: duties were suspended, but there was a possibility he could

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: return to public life at some point, and now that's

31
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: basically definitely not going to happen. It's reported that Andrew

32
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: cried after the Queen removed his honorary titles because he

33
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: felt he let her down in her platinum Jubilee year.

34
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: I think it's very sad when we feel like we've met,

35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: we've let our mum down in her platinum Jubilee year.

36
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: But he then had a shooting party with twelve friends

37
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: who celebrate or mourn is unclear? Really, yes, a shooting

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: party very odd. It doesn't seem appropriate.

39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: It's interesting too clear that some people are saying, you know,

40
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: the poor queen, this is her year of big celebrations.

41
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: She's just lost her husband. But then they showed footage

42
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 3: of the Queen the day after it had been Andrew

43
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: had been ousted as a friend of Epstein's. It might

44
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: have even been the daft Epstein took his own life.

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: The Queen escorted Andrew to church. She deliberately chose that

46
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: as a pr thing to say I support him. Photos

47
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: of them smiling together and waving in the back of

48
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: the car. So she has supported him through this too,

49
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 3: she really has.

50
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: And that's what's a bit odd about kind of people

51
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: feeling very very sorry for her right now. I'm not

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: sure she's the one we should be feeling sorry for. Meanwhile,

53
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: there's another royal who's had a bit of a history

54
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: with changing titles, and he's been in the news for

55
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: different reasons this weekend. So on Sunday it was reported

56
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: that Prince Harry hasaunched legal action against the UK over

57
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: the decision to take away his police bodyguards, claiming it's

58
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: unsafe for him to return home with his family. So

59
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: he obviously lived in la with Megan and Harry and

60
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: their two kids, and so basically he's saying it's not

61
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: safe for me to come home to the UK, I

62
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: don't have the right protections and so they were stripped

63
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: of their protection when they stepped back from royal duties

64
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: two years ago. And his legal representative said that he

65
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: initially offered to pay personally for UK police protection for

66
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: himself and his family in January of twenty twenty, but

67
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: that was dismissed and he remains willing to cover that cost,

68
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: so basically, have it not cost tax payers anything, But

69
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: at this point he's not being provided with security and

70
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: isn't committed to pay for it himself, and said, I know,

71
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: and I was very confused about this because I was like, well,

72
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: how can you not let someone pay for it themselves?

73
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 1: But I think there's a certain level of intelligence and

74
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: kind of access that security needs to operate, and they're

75
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: not giving that to him to have private security because I.

76
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: Saw them with his case. He was saying that he's

77
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: been born into a position for life that requires that

78
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: he needs protection.

79
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: Exactly, and yeah, he's in the statement from his legal representative,

80
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: they said he's got this, but he's inherited a security

81
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: risk from birth. And the legal representative also said that

82
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: during his last visit to the UK in July of

83
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: last year to unveil a statue in honor of his

84
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: late mother, Princess Diana. His security was compromised, So clearly

85
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: this is something that they need to work out. And

86
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: so basically what people are thinking this weekend is that

87
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: for a while there's been a feeling that some of

88
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,559
Speaker 1: the vitriol and anger and gossip around Harry and Meghan

89
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: in the last two years has been manufactured to distract

90
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: from the Prince Andrew story. Why no, matter how you

91
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: feel about Megan and Harry, the Prince Andrew story is

92
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: clearly more problematic, yes, and it definitely feels like a

93
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: case of oh no, we've got some really bad Prince

94
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: Andrew news. Let's release a Harry story, because the UK

95
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: tabloids do jump on this and jump on the Prince

96
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: Harry story and say, why don't you ask Netflix for

97
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: some money? Why don't you ask Netflix for some security?

98
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: And so it's very interesting that it's a bit of

99
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: a machine, and I think people are starting to see

100
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: through it at this point.

101
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: Well, maybe they should get one of those security guards

102
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 2: from Chemist's Warehouse because I could never get past those guys.

103
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: They're really good. You get those guys outside chemist's warehouse.

104
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: No one will get through.

105
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: I reckon they're great. I saw somebody the other day

106
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: not putting their masks on, and chemists warehouse is like, no,

107
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: you can't come in.

108
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: This is a pharmacyxactly right. Maybe you should be in

109
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 2: our border force. Claire's always a trait to talk to you.

110
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you next week.

111
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's gamination
