Speaker 1 (00:00):
I know your wife isn't a fan of Meghan Markle.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
No, she goes apoplectic, whatever. Even mention the word Harry
and Meghan. I often said, imagine if we were in
a situation and.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
They were over for dinner.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
We, for some reason, we end up hanging out with
Harry and Meghan. What would you do? Meghan, Harry and Meghan.
What's her name? Meghan.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Whatever.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
If we ended up hanging out with them. What would
you do? And she said, I would throw fruit at
them and boo. I said, but you wouldn't do that.
You'd be a bit, if I ran into Prince Harry,
I'd be a bit, whoa, that's Prince Harry.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Anyway.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Like I wouldn't throw fruit at him.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
I wouldn't throw fruit. I wouldn't throw fruit at Megan.
I wouldn't throw fruit at Megan.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's hard to say. Throw fruit.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Throw fruit at Megan. Say it with me.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I can isolate that. I, I'm.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I don't approve of them writing stories about the royal
family and breaking confidences and breaking the rich tradition.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
My wife's a big royal. She's a big royal perv.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah, as am I.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
As opposed to Prince Andrew.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
He's a different kind of perv. I'm happy for Australia
to be a republic. Having said that, I appreciate the
long history of the royal family, as crazy as it is.
And I feel that in them sort of coming at
it from a celebrity standpoint and saying, oh, isn't this weird?
kind of, it's like letting the magician tricks out of
(01:26):
the bag.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
So they have returned to live in England and a
lot of people are already having a go at Megan,
which I'm not a fan of because I just think
it's not right to vilify her. Let it go. They've
stepped back. They're private citizens. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. She said,
I had to leave because people treated me so badly.
Don't treat her badly. Let her get on with things.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, but having said that, she can't, if she's going
to Fly under the radar. She has to fly under
the radar.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
What do you mean by fly under the radar? Well,
that's why people get so juiced about her.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
What's her version for you of being over the radar?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Going to staff and waving and all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Well, they are still celebrities. They're not royals, but they're celebrities.
And to clarify their role, the king has just released
a statement.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
He did this today. It was a letter written by
or I guess as told to the Lord Chamberlain. And
he is kind of the palace head honcho. Following the
decision by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to relocate
to the UK, we've received a number of requests for guidance.
To help avoid doubt or confusion, the King has directed
the following information be shared. It's well known that in
(02:34):
January 2020, the Duke and Duchess stepped down from undertaking
representative duties on behalf of the Sovereign and are no
longer working members of the Royal Family. This position, distinct
from the state and royal duties undertaken by the working
Royal Family, and with the personal latitude it brings the
couple in respect to financial independence, and protection of their
privacy as they should wish will continue to be fully respected.
(02:57):
It follows there is no change to the current status
of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Their styles as
His and Her Royal Highness remain in abeyance and are
not used. They're not allowed to be HRH. The charitable work,
the Duke and Duchess, that's a personal matter for them
both and undertaken in their private capacity. In short, their
position is akin to private citizens with commercial and charitable interests.
(03:22):
So what they're saying is that they're not dip in,
dip out royals. And that was the Queen's concern. You're
either in or you're out.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Fair enough.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
I mean, it does seem harsh because Andrew's daughters kind
of dip in and dip out. They do official duties,
but they don't live as royals. And I think, I
don't know if they get paid as royals, but they
have royal residences. So, but these two, they are private citizens.
And I think they're in a way not punished, but
they're being told, Okay.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You ratted on the family. You pulled out. That's how
that goes. You're allowed to come back as a family member,
but not as a working royal. And if you see
them out and about, they're private citizens. They are not
acting on behalf of the royal family. That's quite a
strict letter that the king has said to clarify their role.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Fair enough.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
And I was thinking if we're out of function and
my wife was there, I'd keep her away from the
grazing table in case there was fruit on it.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
They don't want to throw fruit.
I know your wife isn't a fan of Meghan Markle.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
