  Speaker 1: Kevin Gray with us lives in the UK. Gavind as
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Harry coming or is he not coming? Are the kids coming?
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Are they not coming? What do we know? Yeah, very
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: good question. I think run At the moment we are
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: probably going to see Harry come on his own unless
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the issue has been resolved. So the Duke of Sussex
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: was due to come from California to the UK with
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: his two children, Archie and Lilibet, and of course his
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: wife Meghan for their first family visit to the UK
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: in four years, and there was a request from his
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: team for extra security. This is all about announcing the
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: one year to go before the next Games that Harry
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: has organized the Invictus Games for injured military personnel, and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: it was all going smoothly. The household, Royal Household had
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: said where you can stay in one of the royal lodges,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: so that appeared to be an olive branch. But where
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the sticking point is is over security, because it's been
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: revealed to Harry and Meghan that although they will have
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: security when they else staying on a royal estate, they
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: will have to rely on private security traveling with them
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: from California when they aren't at the Royal Estate. Harry
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: said he doesn't feel safe about that. He wants this
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: all reviewed, but this, of course has already been in
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: court and the decision committee, the so called VIP Executive
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Committee or Rabbic as it's called, said no, he doesn't
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: need that security level and that appears to be the
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: stumbling block yet again here Ryan, and it's going to
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: make for some very very difficult negotiations over the next
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: few hours before he arrives. All right, given, hey, has
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: there been Stokes news going down over there? Yeah? It's
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: quite a shock, isn't it. And boy did they look
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: like I think he was trying to win the match
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: on his own, so I'm not sure that the day
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: five ticket will be worth very much. But yeah, it's
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: been quite a shock. I don't know if there's any
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: background to this about the trouble he got into, of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: course after drinking, missing the last test or where that.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: At his age mid thirties, he's quite simply had enough.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: But gosh, he used to make things happen then. He
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: was always box office, so he will be missed certainly.
