Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome back. Virginia Duphrase Bombshaw memoir, released posthumously yesterday is
still causing shockwaves for the royal family and beyond.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
For more, we're joined by entertainment editor Peter Ford. It's
a damning read, Pete.
Speaker 4 (00:12):
It's a damning read, and to be honest, it's incredibly
depressing and harrowing. I mean, that poor woman had a
terrible life from childhood. I mean, all the focus has
course been on Prince Andrew, but there are a lot
of other people involved, and a lot of other famous people,
some who are named in the book, others who are not.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
For legal reasons, she couldn't name them.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
But I read that book yesterday cover to cover, and
it really is very depressing to read it. I hope
in time that her children will fully understand how brave.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
It was to do it.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
I felt sad that Virginia herself isn't around at the
moment to see all this happening and to see what
is the response is to the book, because this is
what she wanted and she's just not here to enjoy
it and absorb it. It's so sad for a whole
bunch of reasons. But I want to show you this
clip with the co author of the book.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Amy Wallace.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Amy Wallace is a very experienced journalist, investigative journalist, and
she is a great fact checker. She corroborates everything, She
attacks everything in a very forensic kind of way, and
when you're dealing with these sort of accusations and famous people,
you've got to do that. And in this clip, you know,
she's asked about whether she really did believe Virginia or not.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
This is what she said.
Speaker 5 (01:28):
I was very impressed because I did a lot of
the work of corroborating her story. We didn't just tape
record interviews, transcribed them and added them down to a book.
We talked to a lot of people in her life
and people who could corroborate or were various places when
she was there, and her memories stacked up.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So a couple of other quick note.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Sarah Ferguson on her social media has now removed any
reference to Duchess. Certainly on her ex Twitter account she
was Sarah the Duchess.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
That has now gone. She has a different handle.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
The other thing I want to mention to you is
a poll done by you gov in the UK, so
it has a certain level of credibility. Should Prince Andrew
be stripped of his duke title? Well, as you can see,
there's sixty three percent most definitely say yes, seventeen say
somewhat support, but the others there there's fourteen percent to
say I don't know. So clearly the public mood is
(02:29):
very much that he should be stripped of his duke title.
Don't forget, he hasn't actually been stripped of it. He's
only announced that he's not going to use it. So
there's even people who say that he should even be
stripped of being a prince. That's a far more complicated
thing to make happen, all.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Right, will keep an eye on that. Moving on, and
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's daughter Apple Martin is following
her dad's footsteps.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Fee, Yeah, she is. So she is singing now. She's
joined a duo.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
She's a special guest on a release they've got coming
out this week called Satellite and I don't think it
sounds too bad. Actually, Jade Street is the name of
the duo, and she's going in as a special guest singer.
I'll play you this. It sounds pretty good. It's being
released this week. Then I'll tell you about some of
the blow about. Have I listened to this, so that's
(03:34):
obviously a professional studio recording. But when she was the
other night performing live, they say for the very first
time in Nashville at a place called Canary Hall, it
doesn't sound that good, I can promise you, And people
are saying it's shocking, how can she get a recording deal, et.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Cetera, et cetera. I think she was foolish to.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Go and sing live for the very first time at
Canary Hall. It's a very famous music venue in Nashville.
That's really jumping in the deep end and getting the
blowback for that. But the recording, as you heard, doesn't
sound too bad at all.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Ossie. Actor Jacob Elordie is receiving rave reviews for his
latest role What's that Yeah?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
This is Frankenstein and he plays Frankenstein's monster in it
because made famous all those years ago by the great
Boris Karloff. People are raving about his performance and I
think it's great that he's doing this role now, relatively
early in his career, because it means he's not just
going to be labeled forever or pigeonhov Reever is like
the pretty boy, the sexy, hot hunk sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
This is a great character performance.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I want to show you this grab with Oscar Isaac
is co star in the movie. Oscar plays Frankenstein and
he's full of praise for Australia's Are and jacob Elaudie.
It's such an astounding, breath taking performance that he does.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It's like, it's so beautiful and home breaking.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yeah, so you can see high praise there from a
very experienced actor.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Well, no matter how many monts of the movies he does,
he'll always be a chunky, hunky, spunky monkey to Car
one hundred percent.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Thanks thanks mate,
