• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Hey, that folks. It is Thursday, August twentieth, and wasn't it.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: John bon Jovie famously asked, who says you can't go home?
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: I love it?
• 0:13
  Speaker 4: TJ. Holmes quoting John bon Jovi, I never thought this
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: day would come.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Oh yes, Yes, an engagement to a white woman will
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: do that to you. With that, welcome to this episode
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: of Amy and TJ. Yes, who says you can't go home? Well,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: maybe Prince William is going to say you can't go home,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: But right now, what we know, in a shocking, shocking
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: turn of events ropes two of the most famous US
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: citizens are about to head back and become two of
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: the most famous citizens in the UK.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: And I don't know how any of you all listening feel,
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: but I had an immediate emotional reaction of joy, happiness,
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: and excitement. And that's kind of embarrassing to admit, because
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: I don't fancy myself as somebody who actually has real
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: emotions attached to people I've I don't personally know, but
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: we I feel like we've been rooting for Harry for
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: the longest time and Meghan, they have been through it.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Whatever you think of her or whatever you think of them,
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: they have been through it, and when you have to
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: do that isolated from family and actually accuse your own
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: family as being a part of it, that is the
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: worst kind of loneliness for them, for their children. So
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: the idea that they could all actually start repairing relationships
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: and find their way back to each other makes me
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: so happy.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Well, we don't know how this is going to immediately go,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: but your reaction was one, what'd you say, robes of
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: joy excitement? Mine was confusion, like, what the hell is happening?
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Where did this come from? And then my next, if
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I'm being honest, my next concern was for Megan Markel.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Good lord, how are they going to treat that woman
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: when she goes back to the UK.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: And you know what, when you said that, I immediately understood.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: I think I was thinking more about just repairing family
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: dynamics and being able to be a part of this
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: legacy that Prince Harry has been in his whole life.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: But you're right, the British tabloid press, the media there
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: is ruthless.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: They're vicious.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: They've never been kind to her, they don't like her,
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: and they've not pretended to. Now Harry must have worked
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: out some sort of security deal for this to all be.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Happening ahead of time.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, we don't know what that is just yet, but yes,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the announcement, yesterday's surprise announcement, out of nowhere announcement that
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Prince Harry and Megan Markle and their kids are going
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to be leaving southern California. They are leaving the US
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: after being here for six years, and they are relocating
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to the UK. This is not temporary, This is not
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: something short term stay. The kids, as we understand, are
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: enrolled already in schools and we'll be starting there this fall.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: They will go back and they will stay in a
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: private residence. They're not staying in a royal residence robes,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: but they are relocating. This is enormous news in the UK.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: It's all they're talking about. Every headline, every paper, every presenter,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: every show, everybody.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: This is it And we don't know anything. We don't
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: know how this is going to work. Are they giving
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: up their beautiful home in Los Angeles? And I just
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: feel like, what's William going to say about all of this?
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Have they even spoken in recent months years? When's the
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: last time they were together.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: I think we have something on it, because the coronation.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: The King's coronation was twenty twenty three. They were together for.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: That and Meghan didn't go to that ditch.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: She it was not there for that one.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: So this is good.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: I mean, Meghan didn't even step foot as far as
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: we know, not officially in London. When she and the
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: kids were able to meet with us the King, that
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: was outside of London.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: So this is a big deal. And there is a reason.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Why they haven't stepped foot in London because of what
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: they went through, because of the scrutiny, because of the attention,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: and because of the concern of not having the protection
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: they need. They must have been working something out privately
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: that none of us were aware of.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Look, the palace is known.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: If they want to keep a secret, they can keep
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: a secret, and they announce things when they want to.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: But nothing is by accident. This is all orchestrated. It's
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: just been going on behind closed doors, and it is shocking.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: And we're told the King found out about this on Sunday.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: We have not gotten worded anywhere about how when William
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: found out about this and what his reaction might have been.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Watch for that closely robes, because is it fair to say,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: I don't look by all reporting this relationship with his brother,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: this falling out, And yes, Megan Markle was at the
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: center of all of this. No, not blaming her for it,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: that relationship that Harry had with Megan starting from the beginning,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: It's was something that William Orportly was not supportive of. Hell,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Harry has talked about this in his books and confrontations he.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Had with it, which has not helped the relationship.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: He's putting stuff out there.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Look, he has every right to do it, but it
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: has heard his relationship with his brother to the point
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: they are not on speaking terms. These kids that we
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: all wanted to hug when their mom died.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Yes, the two of them, those two little boys.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: The fact that they aren't speaking over a woman, which
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: is difficult. And again we don't want to blame Megan,
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: but that is what we are not created the bigger rift,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: and certainly not blaming.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Her for that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: But I feel sad for their children. The fact that
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: it's what are the ages of the kid's seven year
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: old Archie, five year old Lillabet? Do they I'm assuming
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: they do not have any relationship with their cousins. The
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: future King of England and his brother and sister Louis,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: and I forgot her name, George Louis, And.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I can't think of.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: You not ask me not a Catherine in there.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: That's what I was gonna say, But no, it's something
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: I'll come up with it.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: But to your point, Robes, that's how cute, how adorable
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: should that be? To have Harry and William, those two
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: kids Dies, Princess Di's sons, and to have Princess Die's
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: grandkids all hanging together and playing together, they should be.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: That's those are five kids you can get in the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: same room, Robes, and they're all in line for the throne.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: That's just cool.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: It is beyond cool. And it's Princess Charlotte, by the way, Charlotte.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: I would never have come up with that had I
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: not looked it up. But yeah, so to think of
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: them all together around the fireplace at granddad Slash, the
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: King of England's place, waiting for Santa. Yes, you want
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: to think that those images are happening, And I think
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: we're all, I think, as human beings are rooting for
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: that for them. So that's where my mind went initially
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: when I heard that this was happening, because I just
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: feel like there's probably no shot at reconciliation when you're
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: halfway around the world for one another. But when you're
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: close together, you can get together, you can find a
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: way back to each other.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: And I hope that for.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Them this is a start Robes, but there is Look,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: there is healthy conversation going on about Initially, this could
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: drive them further apart because William might be like, what
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the hell I didn't get a heads up? They feel
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: like they're blindsided once again by something Harry is doing. Now,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Harry is a grown man, has every right to do
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: whatever he wants to do with his own money. He
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: can move where he wants to, and that's fine. But Robes,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: would you imagine even if he didn't pick up the
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: phone and call his brother and say this is what
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do some kind of way, William would
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: have had to have been had to have known.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, obviously he would have been given a
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: heads up. I would imagine even if it's Harry's people
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: told Williams people. That's probably how they roll, at least
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: at this point. If they aren't talking, they've got people
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: who can coordinate and discuss matters between the two parties,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: almost acting as attorneys for folks who have been divorced.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: But that is kind of what it seems like it is.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: So yeah, and man, could what you pay to know
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: what William's reaction was in that moment? Would he have
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: been happy, sad, scared, alarmed? I don't know, Like it
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: could be a range of emotions.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: See again, it's just so if these two aren't talking
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: each other, this rift robes, it's deep, Hey, it's deep.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: What does this do for now?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Reminder, all this fallout started with the family, Yes, almost
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: immediately after they started dating, and then they got engaged,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and William was the one who felt they were moving
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: too fast and then everything happens and that Oprah interview
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: robes were are they sitting out back? And like, yes,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I can still see.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: It in California, in southern California at Oprah's place out there,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: and yeah, that's when they started talking and that is
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: not something that the Royal Family is ever okay with.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: So they started talking about racism, racism in the Royal family,
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: asking how dark their baby's skin would be, that sort
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: of thing, and that was it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: It was over.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was no coming back from that, I know
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: the Royal family has gotten rightful accusations and criticism about
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: how it's handled race over centuries. Ropes like some call
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: them the ogs of racism. To hear them talking about
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: it from the inside, Broes, this was an explosion for
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: the Royal family and they haven't gotten back together since.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: But stay here, we will give you a timeline reminder
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: of just this thing has gone down and got us
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: from their first date essentially to today Megan and Harry.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: And also we will also, yes, Robes, believe it or not,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Harry spoke he was asked about this last night because
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: he was in DC foreign events. We'll tell you what
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: he had to say last night.
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: Welcome back everyone to Amy and TJ. I think we
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: all remember as we watched with the World Megan and
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Harry falling in love, and I actually thought it was
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: further back than this. But their blind date, the one
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: they met on, was July of twenty sixteen, so literally
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: almost exactly ten years ago.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: And then problems started immediately, Robes, and by November of
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: that same year it was official that the two were dating.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: But then Harry started to complain already about the some
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: of the coverage that their relationship was getting, in particular
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: his new girlfriend. And yes, he did say it had
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: some racial undertones.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, And then it was a year later, November of
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: twenty seventeen that they announced their engagement.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: And then just a few months later.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: May nineteenth, twenty eighteen, that was their big wedding where
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: so many of us saw all those beautiful pictures. I
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: mean we were all ooing and eyeing and following him.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: It was a big deal. It was awesome. I remember
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: the preacher from North Carolina, the Ruad.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, we love him.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: So they moved forward. By May of twenty nineteen, Archie
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: is born. That in January of twenty twenty they announced
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: they're stepping back from their royal duties and they move
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: to la The second child, Lillabette, was born in June
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: of twenty twenty one. Then, of course, in September of
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty two, Queen Elizabeth died. I didn't read the
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: book Spare that was published in January of twenty twenty three,
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: that was Harry's memoir, but I had a lot of
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: stuff in there that once again robed putting royal business
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: out there in the streets.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, talked about his strange really relationship with his brother,
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: accused his brother of some awful stuff. It's in print
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: out in mass distribution for everyone to read. That is
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: so hard to come back from in terms of repairing
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: a relationship like that, especially when your brother's going to
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: be the King of England.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: So that book was published in January of twenty twenty three.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: In May of that same year, Harry attended his dad's coronation,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Yes his brother was there alongside. And then in February
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: of twenty twenty four, Harry went back to the UK
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: only their a day visited with his dad. Nothing came
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: from that. Then in September last year, so his dad,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: for the first time in a year, they had tea
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: together in London, and then of course wrote just last
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: month Harry and Megan and the kids spent time with
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: the King and this was the kid's first time seeing
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: grandpas since twenty twenty two.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: The funeral.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, neither one of them probably remembered it because yeah,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: oh right, Archie would have been four and little Bit
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: would have been not even a year, so that, yeah,
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: this is the first time that they probably ever even
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: recalled or remembered meeting their Grandpa.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: That was nice and that was cool to hear. If
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: that look, that's if that can happen. And if you
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: put the kids all in one room, they're going to
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: be fine. It's not like the kids got beef with
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: each other, So that's not really the issue.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: It's the parents.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: And maybe that visit prompted what we're seeing now, this move.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Maybe there was hope, there was a door that opened,
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: and they have decided to walk through it.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: This is really really I am absolutely hopeful and terrify
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: for Megan Markle. I just amroopes. But uh mexit is
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: what they call it. Remember yo, exit wing is exit.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: When they left, they have been brutal for this woman,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: and now they get a chance. Oh we get her
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: back ropes. People are going to be hired, get jobs
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: because of this. Photographers are getting ready. It is about
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: to be open season to go grab this.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Having a small taste of that for a little bit
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: in our lives, how awful that was, and I say
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: a fraction of what they've experienced.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: I just that make my heart hurt for her.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: So concerned. Certainly, we don't have the timing.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: We don't know when they're officially going to be back
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: over and be settled again.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: But ropes.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: He just happened to be in an event for the
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: veterans in DC last night. A reporter was able to
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: shout a question about this after the story broke to
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Prince Harry, and he gave a long and really detailed
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: answer to all the questions we have about why he's moving.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Very funny, he said, I have nothing to say.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: That was it.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: That ended it?
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: Okay, But yeah, and look in terms of when they're moving,
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: it has to be soon.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: School school's gonna start. They're enrolled for the fall. That
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: looks like that's next month, babe.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: So wow, yeah, you got to get that back to
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: school shopping and all that good stuff. So the speculation,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I didn't list some of these roads because nobody knows
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: for sure the reasons for why this could be happening.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: People talk about the King's health. He knows something the
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: rest of us don't. He wants to be close by
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I want the kids to be close by something else
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: their careers. What's going on? Has this whole brand building thing?
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: As well as Megan Markle, is she on the way
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: to being Martha Stewart's like she wanted to who knows
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: money issues. I know they had big, kind of big deals.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: You don't think about these folks having money issues necessarily, but.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: One off big deals.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Even the book itself, At a certain point, when you're
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: living in multi multimillion dollar mansions paying exorbitant taxes, the
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: money does still run out.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: If you can't keep it coming in.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: The money still runs out.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: That's a very good point you make, Robes and the
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: other thing folks want to throw out there is some
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: kind of way Trump related, like.
• 15:32
