KATE MIDDLETON SPECIAL EPISODE: Does Stephen Colbert, Kim Kardashian & Andy Cohen all owe Kate Middleton an apology? Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reach out to William and Kate. Carole Middleton no longer trusts The Windsor’s · Naughty But Nice with Rob Shuter

• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Aye, sure it alone. Welcome to the Naughty but Nice Show.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Rob Shooter. It's Monday morning. Garrett is
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: off today because we're taping really, really early in the morning.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: I'm doing a ton of TV all day about Kate Middleton.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure we got our podcast done
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: brighton early by nine o'clock every morning, we have a
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: new episode for you. So I'm up early today doing
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the podcast by myself. But I'm never really by myself. Naughties,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you're there with me, holding my hand along the way.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Let's jump into the show. What time is it, my friends?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: It is tea time. So today's episode is gonna focus
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: on Kate Middleton. Friday, we got the breaking news about
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: her cancer diagnosis, and today we're going to dedicate the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: show to all things Kate, and we're going to do
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: it in a nice way. Okay, big story. At the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: top of the show, there have been calls for Stephen Colbert,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Andy Cohen, Kim Kardashian, and even Blake Lively to apologize
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: after they all mocked Kate Middleton. So the criticism directed
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: at Colbert, Kardashian, Cohen and others for mocking Kate Middleton's
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: disappearance and spreading rumors about her personal life reflect a
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: broader concern about the lack of discretion and empathy in
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the public discourse, especially when it evolves around someone's personal struggles.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Let me remind you coldbar made fun of the royal couple,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: even bringing up old rumors about a potential and alleged
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: and fair that William may have had may not have had. Also,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Kim Karda is involved in the controversy. Before Kate announced
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that she had cancer, Kim did push these conspiracy theories
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and now she's been criticized for spreading quote harmful misinformation.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: And who can forget that Andy Cohen, who always has
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to get in on the action, he didn't believe that
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the video of Kate at the farm market was real,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: sparking more speculation there, and then onmid Scobie that's Megan
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Markle and Harry's friend. He is getting pushed back too
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: because he tweeted and then deleted a tweet about Kate
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Middleton's cancer announcement, and this people are saying is really insensitive.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: So what we're getting to here, naughties, is how this
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: was handled before Kate revealed that she had cancer. While
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: it's acknowledged that the royal family is subject to public scrutiny,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: there is a call for greater discretion and empathy, especially
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: when dealing with such sensitive medical issues. I think we
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: can all agree on that the focus should be on
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: support in individuals like Kate during difficult times, rather than
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: perpetuating rumors and sensatializing the headlines to try and get
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: cliques or in Andy's case, Kim's case, attention. So overall,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I think there's a recognition that the Palace's handling of
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: this situation was not good, but also to maybe our
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: response didn't have the compassion that it needed to have.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Liam McSweeney, who's one of the Real Housewives, a former housewife,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: is going after Andy Cohen saying his remarks were cruel.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: She said, quote Andy Cohen gets a kick out of
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: being cruel to women, and Kate Middleton is no exception.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: She concludes by saying, quote, I hope that after she
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: was forced to publicly talk about her cancer diagnosis, Andy
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: will muster up the decency to apologize to her. People
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: with power need to lead by example. Now that's exactly
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: what Blake Lively has done. Blake made fun of Kate
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Middleton and that photographer now Blake feels terrible about it
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: and has apologized. Do these other people? Does Stephen Colbert,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Kim Kardashian, Andy Cohen? Do they owe Kate an apology?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Insiders are saying that they should be ashamed of themselves
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: for mocking Kate Middleton now that the truth has come out?
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Do they owe her an apology? Hey? Go vote on
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: our Twitter page at naughteen nice Rob or our Facebook
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: page which is Nordy goszimb and be sure to check
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: back tomorrow to hear your results. Okay, more Kate news.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Harry and Meghan have reached out to Kate and William
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: following the cancer diagnosis of Reveola. So in the wake
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: of Kate's heartbreaking diagnosis, Prince Harry and Meg and Markel
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: did extend their support to both Prince William and Kate.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: The Sussexes reached out to the Cambridges in a private
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: communication on Friday. So on Friday they put out a
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: public statement wishing them well, but insiders are now saying
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: they did reach out privately the royal family Kate William.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: They have emails, they have cell phones, they have iPhones
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and so you can reach them now. Harry and Meghan
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: they have Kate's number, they have an email, so they
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: have reached out to her. However, insiders tell me that
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Kate has yet to respond. Sources say that there's really
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of tension still between the Sussexes and the Cambridges,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and ultimately hear a lack of trust. They just don't
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: trust Harry or Meghan anymore, and they're frightened that if
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: they respond, Harry and Meghan might run and tell Oprah
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: or Gail King or somebody else in the media. So
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: it's better to just keep them at arm's lengths. But
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: at the same time, if somebody reaches out to you,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: isn't it a bit rude not to not accept it,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to not acknowledge it. They're in a difficult position here.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: What would you do if you were Kate Middleton and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you've got an email a text from Meghan or Harry
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: really saying they had their deepest sympathies here. And I
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: do believe that. I don't think for one minute, no
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: matter how bad things are between the brothers, between Kate
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: between Meghan, I think here there is a human decency
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: when somebody is sick, when somebody has cancer, you put
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: all that to one side, don't you, just for a
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: minute put it to one side and you focus on
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the humanity of this. So I think Harry and Meghan
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: did that, but they did not get a response out
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: of that. Also, two insiders are telling me that Harry
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and Meghan have opted out of returning to the UK
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: to London and mid Kate's crisis. So the decision by
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Harry and Meghan to not go to London amid all
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the news around Kate has sparked a little bit of
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a controversy here, reigniting within the royal courts. So they
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: can't really win here. If Harry and Meghan went to London,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: they flew over to London to see Kate, some people
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: would say, Oh, it's got nothing to do with them,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: stay away, stop coming. It's a pr stunt. That's what
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: they said when Harry went to visit his dad, King Charles,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: after Charles disclosed that he had cancer. Now if they
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: went over to see Kate, the same thing would happen.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Some people would say, Oh, they're just there to get attention,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: they're making this about themselves. However, if they don't go.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: People will say they're heartless, they're cruel. What should they
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: do here? I spoke to several different PR experts friends
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: of mine who have worked for some of the biggest
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: stars in the world, and they don't agree, which shows
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you how complicated this situation is. If they turn up,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: yes it's a wonderful thing, but they might not be
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: able to get in. It's not like going home to
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: see your sister in law your dad, where you just
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: ring the doorbell and you walk in. No, you need
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: an appointment to get into the palace, and if these
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: two just up, they might not get in. How humiliating
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: would that be? A standing on the steps of the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: palace with your suitcase in your hand and nobody opening
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the door. So I don't think they're going to go
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: until they know that they're well wishes will be accepted,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and they don't know that until Kate or William respond
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: to their emails, which they've not done yet. Complicated, isn't it.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I had a falling out with my sister, but when
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: things went bad, I shot over to Britain and everything
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: suddenly was right. There's nothing like a life threatening illness
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to put it all into perspective, and that's what I'm
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: hoping here. If there is a silver lining to this awful,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: awful news, it's maybe Harry William, Kate Megan can put
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: it all to one side, just for a minute and
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: realize that they are family, that somebody here is suffering.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: But it does not look good. I broke this news
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: over the weekend and I'm bringing it to you. It's
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: been picked up everywhere. Kate personally wrote that cancer speech,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: so a mid mounting speculation about her health, the Princess
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of Wales took swift action, personally drafting a poignant speech
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: addressing her recent cancer diagnosis. Kate felt compelled to address
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the rumor directly, recognizing the overwhelming support from her family
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and people around the world. She penned every word of
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the speech herself, ensuring that it was authentic. And now
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: some people are saying she did the speech she only
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: did the speech because she was driven by trolls, not
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: true mindsiders are telling me that, contrary to speculation, Kate's
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: decision to go public with her cancer was not influenced
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: by online trolls, but rather the timing was carefully chosen
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: by Kate herself, not just the words, but the timing
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: was chosen by Kate herself to consider the well being
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of her family and the need for privacy. With the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Easter holidays marking the start of the children's school break,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Kate strategically opted to share the news at a time
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: when her family could be together to process it privately.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: She didn't want the kids at school when this news
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: came out. Children can be cruel. Everybody's watching this around
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the world. She wanted the kids to be with her,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: with William and so that is why she waited. And
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: I think we can all understand that. Over the weekend,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge expressed their gratitude
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: for the global outreach here so according to a spokesperson
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: at Kensington Palace, Prince William and Kate Middleton have been
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: profoundly touched by the heartfelt messages that are pouring in
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: from around the world in the UK the Commonwealth of
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: the world. The statement rare as follows quote. They are
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: extremely moved by the public's warmth and support and are
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: grateful for the understanding of their requests for privacy at
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: this time. That's a really important point in this statement.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: The Palace wants us to back off to give them
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: some time, and so that's part of the statement. But
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I think it would not be right for them not
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: to acknowledge the overwhelming support that Kate, that William, that
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the family has received. So what's this tell me That
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Kate did not expect this. Obviously, she knew it was
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: going to be big news. A princess, a future queen
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: having cancer, that's big news. But she didn't expect this.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: People are lining up outside the palace, Buckingham Palace with
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: flowers they want to reach out to Kate. I had
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: some family members who went to the palace last night
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and they said it was like an eerie silence. It
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: was really quiet around the palace as everybody stood there.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Actually reminded a friend of mine of the death of
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Princess Diana, where people just turned up unannounced at Buckingham Palace.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: They really wanted to buy some flowers to leave a card.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And so this is happening not only in Britain but
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: around the world. Okay, quickly, before we go to break
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: and naughty but nice exclusive, Carol Middleton has moved into
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the palace amid all her concerns and she no longer
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: trusts the Windsors. So Carol Middleton, the mother of Kate,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: has moved into the palace to stand by her daughter
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: as she courageously undergoes treatment for cancer. We know now
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: that she has been getting chemotherapy for the last month
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: or so, so in response to the distressing revelations, Carol,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: who has chosen to remain by her daughter's side, is
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: offering unwaiving support and comfort to her daughter. Sources tell
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: me the following quote. At the end of the day,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: the Middletons no longer trusts the Windsors to protect their daughter.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Carol is now the boss. She's running the show as
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: far as Kate is concerned, not the king. Now this
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: sounds shocking, doesn't it, And that statement it's a lot,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: But I do understand this. If I were sick, if
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I had cancer, my mom would be by my side immediately.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I think if you have children, if you have parents
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: that are still with us, you know exactly what I
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: am talking about. And there is some validity here to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: be worried about the Windsors. They just have not been
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: good at this. Megan Markle said that she had tremendous
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: trouble in the family. When she went to them telling
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: them she had suicidal thoughts, they didn't really respond. Princess
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Diana has said this too as an institution. As to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the firm, they're not good at these personal crisis moments,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and that's why Kate needs her mom Carol there. I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: really welcome this. I hope Carol and her husband William
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: are working together with one purpose here to get Kate
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: into a good place physically mentally. She's going to need
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: all the support she can get. It's lovely having people
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: around the world, strangers reaching out, but at the end
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of the day, when you're not well, you want your family,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: you want your mom, you want your partner, you want
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: your friends. I'm told Kate's friends have been brilliant here,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: really protecting her, really being with her. I'm sure she
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: feels a relief that now the secret is out. She
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: told it on her own terms. She didn't tell it
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: until her kids were home from school, and now the
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: secret is out and a lot of people, including Andy
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Cohen and Kim Kardashian have egg on their faces. Okay,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: we're going to take a quick break and we will
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: be right back. Welcome back to the Naughty Boot night show.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I'm your host, Rob Shooter, continuing with our Kate Middle
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: and Special. Okay, let's get to the polls. DA last show,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: we announced it was our whole question before we realized
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: that Kate had cancer, that Meghan Michael had hired a
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: top photographer to take the photographs of Archie and Lillibut.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Our question was is this a coincidence or is this shady?
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Was Meghan doing this because of all the drama about
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: the Mother's Day photograph, the artificially digitally enhanced photoshopped photograph.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Now Meghan's going to take a picture of her kids.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: She's going to be in the picture. Do for this
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: one isn't gonna be photoshop. This is going to be
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: taken by a top photographer. What do you think coincidence
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: or shady? Let's have a look. Oh, eighty five percent
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: think it is shady. The timing of this is just
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: so off old Meghan. I'm with the Nortise. Don't forget
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: to vote on today's Paul will go to a Twitter
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: page at Naughty Nice Rob or a Facebook page which
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: is Naughty Gossip and to check back tomorrow to hear
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: your results. And now it's time for a nicest of
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the day m King Charles visited Kate Middleton in his
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: dressing gown after surgery when both of them ended up
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: in the same hospital. So despite his own health concerns,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: including his treatment for an enlarged prostate, King Charles made
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: regular visits to Kate at the London Clinic following her surgery.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Witnesses have described him as quote toddling in a dressing
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: robe down the hospital hallway to offer support to his
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: daughter in law. The Times of London very respected, is
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: highlighting the closeness between King Charles and Kate Middleton. This
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: was on display when they were both both in the
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: same hospital. Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles has
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: maintained close contact with Kate in the weeks since their hospitalization.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I'm told they are talking all the time. The visual
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the King quote toddling down the hallway in a dressing robe.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: He wanted to see Kate. He knew she was in
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the hospital, he found out about her diagnosis and he
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: wanted to be there for her, despite the fact that
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: he has cancer himself. And nicest of the day and
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: now I noticed the daydy naughty, naughty critics out there
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: are slamming Prince William over the fact that Kate made
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: her cancer video by herself. They're even drawing comparisons to
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the famous iconic Princess Diana tajh my Whole photograph. So
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: the criticism directed at William for not being by Kate's
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: side during the cancer announcement video has really taken me
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: back by surprise so much comparing it to Princess Diana's
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: iconic shot outside the taj Mahal, implying that William was
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: absent from his wife's side like Charles was absent from Diana's.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: This is nonsense. Insiders tell me Kate's decision was to
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: do it alone. It was not William's decision. It was
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Kate's decision. They had this conversation what should it look
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: like visually? After all the missteps with the Mother's Day photograph,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: they wanted this to be Kate. She was at Windsor
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: they filmed it on Wednesday of last week, and she
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: wanted to tell her story by herself. There was talk
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: about putting the kids in the in the picture in
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: the frame, but that's very distracting young children. They were
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: going to have William sit next to her, holding her hand,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: but they also decided to know this wasn't his moment,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: it was hers. Kate wanted to do this by herself.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I think it was a beautiful image to put her
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: outside on a bench with the daffodils behind her. It
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: was a brilliant, brilliant, brilliant image. I'm glad they didn't
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: put her in a tiara or a crown. I'm glad
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: she was casual in jeans and a stripee sweater. I
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: think it was just perfect. And those that are criticizing
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: William about this shirt up, Okay, let's end with a
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: moment of rob. You get a rob, you get a rob,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: you get a right today's moment of Rob. I want
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: to explain why this story is so big. And I've
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: been criticized too for talking about Kate. Some of you
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: want me to just leave her alone, to not talk
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: about her, and I just wanted to have a quick
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: conversation about that about personal privacy versus public service. So
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: the situation around Kate has raised lots of important questions
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: about the balance between privacy and public service and obligations
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: for members of the monarchy. On the one hand, the
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Palace asserts that family members should have some level of
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: privacy despite their roles as public servants. However, this clashes
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: with the expectations of many who feel entitled to a
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: certain amount of access to the Royal Family, especially considering
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: the significant financial support they get from taxpayers. Now, historically
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: there is a precedent here. Queen Victoria temporarily withdrew from
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: public life after the death of her husband, and Queen
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth had the famous motto I have to be seen
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: to be believed, underscoring the importance of a public presence
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: for maintaining public support. Now, ultimately, the Royal Family, like
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: any any other individual, should be entitled to a period
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: of sick leave. However, who are amongst us as naughties
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: here who can disappear from their job for months and
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: not tell their boss what is going on. Some people
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: here would argue that the boss of Kate Middleton of
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: the Royal family is the public. I know we've got
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: different opinions about this, and I promise you we will
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: cover this topic with decency, with kindness towards Kate. If
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: you feel like we haven't done that in the past,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: I'm truly truly sorry. It was not my intention. We
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: love celebrities. Here, we are naughty, but we are ultimately nice,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: and moving forward, I'm going to constantly remind myself between
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: this dilemma between privacy and public CEAE. Hey, that is
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: it for today. Thank you so much for listening to
