01:54

of extreme rudeness ill-mannered charish

01:59

boring isness it really has been

02:01

disgraceful and I have said so daily I

02:04

newspapers here because I have been AUST

02:12

at the way in which you know some

02:15

imbecilic idiots who decide to write

02:18

something malicious entirely of their

02:20

own invention into their smartphones

02:23

have somehow kind of been an avalanche

02:25

that's gained traction gained momentum

02:28

and then sensible incredible journalists

02:31

such as yourself such as journalists at

02:33

the BBC my former colleagues have been

02:35

somehow compelled to give some sort of

02:38

credence to this arrant nonsense by

02:41

having to a acknowledge it exists and B

02:43

comment on it and it's been a paing it's

02:46

been rude and crash entirely unnecessary

02:50

based on fiction and figments of really

02:54

malicious and malign imagination and I

02:56

get why you're crying I mean it is a

02:58

shaming thing isn't it that that a a a

03:01

young woman in the throws of cancer uh

03:03

embarking on chemotherapy recovering

03:05

from serious abdominal uh operation has

03:09

to make a comment and a statement in

03:10

this way just to keep the the the the

03:13

the the pressure at Bay and keep

03:15

people's you know hideous personal views

03:19

at a distance I agree with you I I you

03:21

know were I not presenting this show I

03:23

probably have a good cry too because I I

03:25

I think it really has been a sullying of

03:27

so many people who should be ashamed and

03:30

really should apologize in fact on my

03:31

program I've said over the last few days

03:34

aren't people going to have to hang

03:36

their heads in shame and apologize do

03:38

you think anybody will out of interest

03:40

do you think anyone will say

03:42

sorry I mean I hope so I I did

03:45

immediately go to check to see if Kim

03:47

Kardashian had removed her post where

03:49

she was kind of poking fun at Katherine

03:50

and she had not done that yet um I I

03:54

don't know you know it's to me I I just

03:57

think that this became too lucrative of

04:00

a of a business for online clout for

04:03

these ticktockers and for these

04:06

YouTubers and you know Prince William

04:09

they had somebody told the times last

04:12

weekend Prince William said he felt like

04:14

their bubble was being jeopardized their

04:16

bubble was closing in on them and and

04:19

you you see that you you saw that with

04:21

somebody taking a video of her in a

04:23

parking lot um Windsor which is

04:25

typically a very Sacred Space for him

04:27

and his family where they feel safe safe

04:30

and they feel like the um the

04:32

neighborhood is fiercely so protective

04:34

of them uh they lost that in a very

04:37

sensitive time and I know that there

04:41

must be so much concern um particularly

04:44

for Prince William who lost his mother

04:46

at a young age like he does not he would

04:49

doesn't wish that on anyone so you know

04:52

it's devastating to think about and and

04:54

it's been a hard few weeks as you've

04:55

said having to uh react to just absolute

05:00

gutter gossip on the internet and and

05:02

here we are today and I've said it

05:04

before and I'll say it again I hope that

05:06

the people that did participate in this

05:09

feel horrible feel a sincere amount of

05:12

guilt right now and one of the things

05:13

that's been said on this program this

05:15

evening and you've got to remember we're

05:16

broadcasting having just heard about

05:19

this so you know people are trying

05:21

although we're professional broadcasting

05:22

we do this all the time but trying to

05:24

process it and feeling all manner of uh

05:27

emotions just as you are you know great

05:29

sorrow great hope and optimism that Kate

05:32

is going to make a fantastic recovery

05:34

very soon but you know awareness of how

05:37

this will be impacting her children and

05:39

and and and her family and everything

05:41

else um but one of the things that's

05:43

been said by various correspondents

05:45

including the highly respected World

05:46

correspondent Michael Cole is that he is

05:49

expecting and hoping for let's say some

05:52

kind of statement from Montesito you

05:55

know we feel very much that in these

06:00

very sad and worrying circumstances a

06:04

brother and a sister-in-law rather than

06:07

advertising you know dog baskets and

06:10

bird baths and you know I don't know

06:13

what decorative ornaments really would

06:16

be better

06:17

deployed issuing some kind of um

06:21

statement even if it's only to say we

06:24

have privately communicated with William

06:26

and Kate we've we've made a private

06:28

comment we don't want to share it with

06:29

the well but we just think you should

06:31

know that we have made it or something

06:33

of that kind do you think that's likely

06:35

Kinsey to

06:36

happen I do think that this is such a

06:39

severe situation that it is likely to

06:41

happen um you know it it it looks

06:43

horrible that Megan Markle launched

06:46

American Riviera Orchard in the middle

06:49

of what we knew that the Princess of

06:51

Wales was sick to the extent that she

06:53

was sick we did not know and she had

06:56

become this kind of Pop Culture meme at

06:59

the time when Megan launched that brand

07:01

but now looking back it is a horrible

07:04

reflection on their decision making a

07:06

source told People magazine that Harry

07:08

and Megan have been left in the cold

07:10

when it comes to the Princess of Wales

07:12

recovery process I think that is obvious

07:15

at this point in time um but they would

07:18

it would it would make them look a

07:20

little bit better if they would release

07:22

some sort of statement saying that she

07:24

was in their thoughts and prayers and uh

07:26

they were going to reach out to her they

07:28

are reaching out to her or something to

07:30

that extent but um I I agree with you I

07:33

think that that needs to be done or

07:35

people will be very unforgiving polling

07:37

wise the Princess of Wales is still the

07:40

most popular uh Royal in the United

07:43

States and she has seen a boost in that

07:45

popularity due to some of thisa Chaos

07:58

Online
