and the biggest piano in the world is to be found in that field. so the big news in britain on wednesday evening was the shock announcement released on instagram by prince harry and meghan the duchess of sussex that they want to step back from royal duty is to a certain extent and the notorious british tabloid press whose harsh headlines about the couple of no doubt contributed to this decision i've already given it a name meg's it. howry and meghan on their wedding day it was thought to be the start of a new chapter for the british royal family but it was not meant to read like this in an instagram post the couple explained they would stay back a senior royals and were deemed to become financially independent it seems the cult even the queen off our guard she's reported to be heart one commentator said it was

beyond belief last year was a pretty dreadful year for the royal family this has begun in a way that is not only completely unprecedented but potentially it's undoubtedly has a very serious consequences in a terror statement the royal household said these were quote complicated issues that would require time to work through. ever since they revealed their relationship to the world harry and megan never looked all too comfortable with the rule when their son archie was born the kept the details under wrap much to the era taishan of britain's for racial top lloyd price after the african last summer their rift with the media widened when they said they were suing a newspaper over invasion of privacy. and in december they said they would break from tradition to spend the christmas holidays not with the queen but in canada

outside buckingham palace and the reaction to the bombshell news has been mixed i applaud barry for taking a step back from the media because of him there in the media so much so if they want to live a private life then be allowed to live a private life but maybe then going at different happens out of favor as the earth is going to florida in you i think it's completely irresponsible and you think you have a part of rules that wish when they should be a case accordingly. it may be that such high expectations have brought about this rupture but that and we're at leeds next only harry and meghan know. my american colleague david left it says here to chat more about this and this can have been an easy decision for them david well for a couple of the really trying to get away from the press they must have known that this was going to cause another media storm and maybe that's why it seems they

didn't get the greens permission on this before they went ahead and i don't think the decision but you're british what do you think that this will mean to the brits . or is made to the brits i think is going to be mixed like we saw there i think some people are as fed up about the royals as they are about brics it i think some will think they're even deserts is on the other hand i think some people will sympathize with the young couple who want to have some sort of normalcy in the lives and but have they really thought this through because of course they're going to get criticism about the fact that 2400000 pounds was spent on the house only windsor is state people criticize a salary even criticizing saying they should paid back the money that the wedding cost well you know if you let her go back to acting maybe she can rake it back and i think on the other side of the atlantic you know meghan is american i think the american media is going to be saying how awful was this princess fairytale really

for maggie and i mean how many little girls and boys for that matter around the world dream about marrying a prince or princess and becoming a royal she's the one who got to do it also this marriage was a huge p.r. coup for the well family on both sides of the atlantic but here she is she's not happy he's not happy and the british press keep on hounding and i think that's the crux of the matter which i don't think harry is ever forgive in the british press and the perhaps in general for what he things they did to his mom i think he still believes they were responsible for her death and who could forget the funeral seeing this young child i mean it was all for and for him the. press is now threatening the happy happiness of his wife which i think we can we can all see that there's very much an old wound here the play i think though talking about diana's death the other thing about that episode that still looms over the monarchy is how much the queen's popularity took

a dip based on the coldness of her reaction and i think this is another situation where the monarchy is going to have to be very careful how they react they're going to have to show they're going to have to show humanity they're going to have to show that they do have feelings for their family members and also maybe that they're willing to make some changes tricky moment because we've just had the prince andrew debacles who just stepped down from his role because of his association with a convicted paedophile jeffrey stein the queen is 93 years old she's not going to be around forever as we all know. the the 2nd most popular role in law and i bet you the rule family really don't want to lose him well they can't afford to lose the you know and what i would say if they want to survive this and if they want to survive through the 21st century as the british royal family this is going to sound brash and it's going to sound maybe to american but if she wants to go back to making t.v. and movies in the states letter if he wants to go if harry wants to go have

a love affair with the american prez they're going to be a lot nicer to him than the british press was let him go take advantage of the good publicity and while you're at it maybe think about getting william on the throne a little sooner because i don't know if you've seen prince charles but i do not think that most people in britain or in commonwealth countries like canada or australia are eager to have them to have prince charles on their money when queen elizabeth does go well that's probably that's never going to how we could talk about this but david thanks very much for your insights. the largest piano in the world most probably doesn't look like what you would imagine the keyboard is actually the normal size it's the frame that is enormous and it is this cabinet of frame that makes the tun so naturally this piano 95 meters high as a really rich and summer's top sound. the

world's largest piano weighs over a ton in stands 4.7 meters high. this touch him course is one of latvia's most famous pianists. it's the 1st time he's played the model 470 i and he's still real with the sound. on this piano and you can have the longest sound ever no other piano can produce such a long sound if you press the key. you can enjoy quality. for a very very long time. piano was built in back hungry on the down you. try vince and his international team of instrument builders make up rights in cottons workshop by hand. in his workshop

he and his team build pianos for clients the world over the innocence of composers concert houses and even for music lovers able and willing to pay for such an instrument. but the greatest challenge was to draw the copper wire strings evenly. if you apply a little too much tension the strings thickness will vary and that inevitably causes it to develop unwanted vibrations later on and that means the tone won't be pure go. back to school slot via the world's largest piano is thoroughly integrated into the architecture of the modern concert house. the sound of a conventional concert grand piano compared with the model for 70 i. is it's just not as rich it sounds much thinner or more wooden so you can tell that

the strings are trying to make the tone but the soundboard doesn't play along. if you want to play it just a large happy program texture of the spirit or it sounds just like a really nice symphony orchestra you know it's like. clive ins has many more ideas such as the piano that floats toward the audience or a piano inside a lotus blossom his future models will definitely be something to look forward to. a good name agreed to and salvador dali with the 2 greatest icons of the surrealist movement in the early 20th century now for the very 1st time they've been brought face to face in a major exhibition currently at the fine arts museum in brussels they didn't like each other but did respect each other's work also both were very prolific and there's over 100 books on show in the belgian capital. dreamlike artworks
