but the worldwide reaction we saw in the past few days, people from all over the world paid their respects and were speaking about their admiration for pele, has made many brazilians realise how big he was. why he was called. his body arrived at 6am at the santos football stadium. santos is the brazilian football club in which pele played throughout his career. at 6.30, there were already 100 people in line to see him, but gates opened at 10pm. right now, it's a hot, sunny day and there are hundreds of people lined up outside the stadium, waiting to pay their respects to brazil's king of football. he had been ill for quite a while, so his death was not unexpected, but there has been a huge outpouring of national grief, hasn't there? right.

as you are saying, pele died last thursday under december the 29th at the age of 82, of colon cancer. he had been ill for a while and for the past few days, brazilians were able to remember the key moments of his career, his most beautiful goals. he scored 1283 of them, so it was a time for brazilians to remember stories of the past. and pele was a key figure in the making of brazil's image abroad. at 17, he won brazil's first world cup in 1958. to give a bit of context, 1958 was also the year in which brazil's great composer launched the song that inaugurated the bossa nova movement, so it was a big year for brazil. in 1962, he won his second world cup and in 1970,

the third world cup. that one has been talked about amongst brazilians because brazil was going through a ruthless military dictatorship at that time and the regime used that to try to divert the international community's attention from what was going on in brazil. but politics aside, pele was one of the greatest ambassadors brazil could ask for and one of the greatest athletes of all time, definitely. prince harry has spoken of what he described as betrayal by buckingham palace in preview footage for a forthcoming interview ahead of the publication of his memoir �*spare'. speaking to "cbs 60 minutes", prince harry accused palace officials of failing to defend him and his wife meghan before they stepped down as working royals. one of the criticisms that you have received is that, "0k fine, "you want to move to california, you want to step back

from the institutional role." why be so public?" you say you try to do this privately. and every single time i've tried to do it privately there have been briefings and deacons and planting of stories against me and my wife. you know, the family motto is never complain, never explain, but it's just a motto. it doesn't really hold... there's a lot of complaining and a lot of explaining. endless. being done in, through leaks. through leaks. they will feed, or have a conversation with the correspondence and that correspondent will literally be spoon fed information to write the story. and at the bottom of it they will say that they have reached out to buckingham palace for comment. but the whole story is buckingham palace commenting. so, when we're being told for the last six years we can't put a statement out to protect you, but you do it for other members of the family. there comes a point where silence is betrayal. with me now is our royal correspondent, daniela relph. what's how we learn from the

the winds picking up and this rain arriving will turn to snow over higher parts of scotland as we engage what's left of that colder air across this part of the country. elsewhere, though, those temperatures will be rising by the morning and we've got a cloudy, wet start for many places, some snowjust for a while over higher parts of scotland. that first band of rain moves through may become a bit drier, but only briefly. but there's more rain coming in more widely from the west. the winds will be strengthening as well. gets particularly windy across wales, in the southwest and here will get some heavier rain over the hills. but because it's the south—westerly wind, it's going to be milder than today. temperatures in double figures for many, a little bit chillier still across parts of scotland, perhaps, but there's more rain to come in scotland. that's the main concern here, given how wet it's been recently, could be some further local flooding and travel disruption. western and central parts of scotland through the day and into the night could get as much as two inches of rain. we're all going to keep some rain going through the evening and into the night as these weather

fronts continue to push their way across the uk. most of those should be out of the way by the time we get to wednesday and we're left with a run of west of south—westerly winds. some sunshine perhaps, but also some showers, particularly for the western side of the uk. perhaps more sunshine arriving across the east midlands, across east anglia and the south east of england. but it will be quite windy through the day across much of england and wales. not so much for scotland and northern ireland. nine degrees in the central belt of scotland and 1a in the southeast.
