today from the aa saying watch out for traffic, traffic chaos. it will probably be quite localised. obviously we anybody who tries to drive into central london, this coming saturday is not going to have a great experience because so many roads will be closed down in the westminster area that then moves to windsor on sunday. arnie but there's also going to be, of course, thousands of local street parties which are going to block things up. so everyone's being saying basically be nice and plan ahead. that's also the message just come out in the past few minutes from the rail delivery group representing train operators . i'm glad to say , operators. i'm glad to say, excuse me, there are no strikes planned for the coming weekend . planned for the coming weekend. there will be significant rail engineering work on the line linking london, victoria, the closest station actually to westminster abbey to gatwick airport and brighton . that's airport and brighton. that's been long planned. and so that's

going to have some effect. you'll still be able to get to and from the south coast using thameslink trains, but there's going to be that that which will unfortunately cause problems for a lot of people trying to get in and out to the celebrations, transport for london says we're all you know, we're planning to go ahead as normal. but do be prepared for long waits getting into station owns green park, which i calculate is about three 400m from you right now is going to be probably the busiest station . westminster also very, station. westminster also very, very busy and you might have to queue , they might close some queue, they might close some stations for exit or entry . stations for exit or entry. that's what they were doing for the platinum jubilee . so central the platinum jubilee. so central london certainly is going to be tncky. london certainly is going to be tricky . the rest of the country tricky. the rest of the country actually not looking too bad. but of course, anybody who's like me thinking, well, all all lovely and thank you very much , lovely and thank you very much, but i'm actually going to take advantage the cheap advantage of the cheap flights that around to flee the

that are around to flee the country on on saturday. make sure you got your passport sorted out because the passport office strike is intensified from today. another thousand members of the union walking out in a dispute over pay and pensions . in a dispute over pay and pensions. simon in a dispute over pay and pensions . simon this seems like pensions. simon this seems like a pensions. simon this seems like e eeee— pensions. simon this seems like e eeee ee— pensions. simon this seems like e good eberw— simon this seems like a good news story. apparently a embe— a good news story. apparently a ernbe by— a good news story. apparently a strike by traffic— a good news story. apparently a strike by traffic wardens in westminster— strike by traffic wardens in westminster is— strike by traffic wardens in westminster is to go ahead after a pay— westminster is to go ahead after e be emer— westminster is to go ahead after e be errer wee— westminster is to go ahead after a pay offer was rejected. that's the a pay offer was rejected. that's me mne— a pay offer was rejected. that's be kind er— a pay offer was rejected. that's the kind of strike— a pay offer was rejected. that's the kind of strike i— a pay offer was rejected. that's the kind of strike i can get on beem— the kind of strike i can get on beere mm.— the kind of strike i can get on beere wbrn. — the kind of strike i can get on board with. well,— the kind of strike i can get on board with. well, i- the kind of strike i can get on board with. �*vw�*rt.. board with. well, i know that there will be many of your lovely viewers who are thinking heeheehee great. but of course , heeheehee great. but of course, the reason traffic wardens are there and have been there since there and have been there since the dawn of motoring time is to avoid people parking where they shouldn't. and also to control the whole business and really keep down the number of cars which are entering central london. so yes, i think that will be represented as a quick win for a number of people. but it's not a kind of long term

i was privileged to be chairman of the inner city education programme. guess what? the prime minister didn't come with the riots. the deputy prime minister then didn't come. the leader of then didn't come. the leader of the opposition didn't come. who came? the prince then. so the people are excited to see someone that connects with them. the youth are excited because someone that thinks about the future and says, let's conserve the environment, let's do something ecologically . so it's something ecologically. so it's contribution to education, to ecology , to entrepreneurship ecology, to entrepreneurship through the prince's trust speaks volumes, and that's what magnet to the older the young really. professor chris, thank you— really. professor chris, thank wew ee— really. professor chris, thank you ee mwen— really. professor chris, thank you so much for— ”rtr3..; professor chris, thank you so much for your time this mernbng. — you so much for your time this morning. you're— you so much for your time this morning. /rt:r. ”rt t as you morning. you're welcome. as you been— morning. you're welcome. as you need nem— morning. you're welcome. as you heard from him,— morning. you're welcome. as you heard from him, lots— morning. you're welcome. as you heard from him, lots to— morning. /rt:r. ”rt t as you heard from him, lots to learn nem— heard from him, lots to learn brem wneb-e— heard from him, lots to learn from what's going to be happening— from what's going to be happening here this week as many beebbe— happening here this week as many beebbe eeme— happening here this week as many people come from _ happening here this week as many people come from all corners of the people come from all corners of me eewnbw— people come from all corners of the country and— people come from all corners of the country and across the world to the country and across the world be wbbneee— the country and across the world to witness history— the country and across the world to witness history at this weekend— to witness history at this weekend . — to witness history at this weekend . cite/

her reports was interrupted a number of times, most notably by a met police investigation. but it contributed to this whole sense of chaos around the downing street operation . but downing street operation. but the crucial question here that has been evading answers for a long time that the labour party has been refusing to answer in any great detail for a long time is exactly when did sue gray start talking to the labour party, start having conversations with sir keir starmer , start mulling over the starmer, start mulling over the idea of defecting and moving away from being an impartial civil servant in the cabinet office and joining the labour party team because that's what we learned only a few months ago and there are big, big questions in terms of what was decided and when . this report that we're when. this report that we're expecting to be given in an oral statement in the house of commons later this afternoon by

the cabinet office, minister, reports are that this is pretty, that it seems as that sue gray did not follow every jot and tittle of the rules that you were supposed to, that the propriety and ethics rules that civil servants must obey the civil servants must obey the civil service code . and it civil service code. and it appears that that may well have been broken and given that there are some really big questions to answer, of course the government can say if someone leaves the civil service to join a political job or another job, they must take a cooling off period. we may well find out later today that the government is setting a cooling off period for sue gray. she may well not be allowed to work for the labour party for a year, perhaps a year and a half and that's a big blow to the labour party were that to take place because the whole issue with sue gray, what sir keir starmer was attempting to do with this recruitment drive was to say

that the labour party was cleaner than clean, was squeaky clean, and indeed that sue gray would be preparing them in the run up to government . well, run up to government. well, those two things may now not be the . case tom, just just briefly the. case tom, just just briefly . swe— the. case tom, just just briefly . swe brew— the. case tom, just just briefly .swe gray be— the. case tom, just just briefly , sue gray, is this— tom, just just briefly , sue gray, is this always seen as , sue gray, is this always seen ee bnbe— , sue gray, is this always seen ee bnbe beregen— , sue gray, is this always seen as this paragon of— , sue gray, is this always seen as this paragon of virtue , the as this paragon of virtue, the bermer— as this paragon of virtue, the bermer beee— as this paragon of virtue, the former head of— as this paragon of virtue, the former head of ethics and greenery— former head of ethics and greenery e— former head of ethics and propriety ? keir starmer really propriety? keir starmer really bnewgnb— propriety? keir starmer really bnewgnb bb— propriety? keir starmer really thought it was— propriety? keir starmer really thought it was an electoral coup to thought it was an electoral coup be newe— thought it was an electoral coup be newe nneb— thought it was an electoral coup to have hired her— thought it was an electoral coup to have hired her as his chief of to have hired her as his chief eb ebebb— to have hired her as his chief eb ebebb. bwb— to have hired her as his chief of staff. but this— to have hired her as his chief of staff. but this is spectacularly backfired on him ene— spectacularly backfired on him ene ner— spectacularly backfired on him and her because— spectacularly backfired on him and her because neither of them were following— and her because neither of them were following the— and her because neither of them were following the civil service nwbee— were following the civil service rweeb wnben— were following the civil service rules, which she— were following the civil service rules, which she is— were following the civil service rules, which she is absolutely ebeebee— rules, which she is absolutely ebeebee bn. — rules, which she is absolutely steeped in. well,— rules, which she is absolutely steeped in. �*vtb�*rt.. rules, which she is absolutely steeped in. well, this is the big, big issue because it did seem that labour party might have been a bit obfuscatory around this, saying that they weren't talking to her during the official partygate investigation. but what it appears to be the case now is that sue gray was advised using the propriety and ethics team as they were talking to the second partygate investigation . the

partygate investigation. the more recent one, the parliamentary investigation into whether or not boris johnson had misled parliament. and right in the middle of that time that sue gray was working on that was advising that she was also talking to the labour party . talking to the labour party. that's what we believe has taken place. but i must stress again we need to wait for this afternoon to see report in afternoon to see that report in full. okay thank you very much, rem.— full. okay thank you very much, rem. sbbbb— full. okay thank you very much, rem. sbbbb be— full. okay thank you very much, tom. still to come— full. okay thank you very much, tom. still to come this- cite/

just strain and strain and strain against that cost of living has impacted on me. i mean, i'm i'm struggling to afford to strike, but i'm doing so because i think it's important to safeguard the future of these teachers. public support does seem to be good. we had gareth southgate in the school other week and he was school the other week and he was supporting strikes as well. supporting the strikes as well. so parents on the on the so yeah, parents on the on the whole seem to be really supportive as well. after this picket actually going picket i'm actually going in school teach my year class school to teach my year 11 class to make that my exam to make sure that my exam classes suffer as a result classes don't suffer as a result of this. and so a lot of other people here. so we don't really want to cause disruption to students. but the thing is, disruption already being disruption is already being caused by things disruption is already being causretention, by things disruption is already being causretention, by by things disruption is already being causretention, by thingslings disruption is already being causretention, by things like like retention, by things like lack of resources. so if anything, this strike is to avoid further disruption and ultimately albie you can't say that you value education and then not value teachers . so that then not value teachers. so that was the view from one teacher on a picket line there in leeds this morning, obviously

very, very slim schedule. and he spends most of his time at his beach house in delaware. so you know, i think it's partly be, you know, the lack of connection to the uk and his favouritism of ireland and the eu over for the uk but also just the physical and cognitive challenges of making that kind of trip. so i guessin making that kind of trip. so i guess in some ways i'm disappointed but but not surprised that he declined . we surprised that he declined. we had another legal case brought against donald trump this week. greg. it does feel like they are eebermbneb— greg. it does feel like they are determined to— greg. it does feel like they are determined to get him on any beweb— determined to get him on any beweb .— determined to get him on any beweb . webb— determined to get him on any level . well, he's— determined to get him on any level . well, he's obviously level. well, he's obviously eeebng— level. well, he's obviously dealing with— level. well, he's obviously dealing with the business misdemeanour action. what's the bebeeb— misdemeanour action. what's the bebeeb en— misdemeanour action. what's the bebeeb en bnbe— misdemeanour action. what's the latest on this new— misdemeanour action. what's the latest on this new civil case were— latest on this new civil case bneb-e been— latest on this new civil case that's been filed— latest on this new civil case that's been filed ? . . that's been filed? it's a little eerby— that's been filed? it's a little eerby .— that's been filed? it's a little early , but the problem is there early, but the problem is there they somewhat lack credibility because there's been so many and in some ways i think the democrats i've said it on your show before, but i think the democrats want him to be the

candidate when they when they indicted him in manhattan a few weeks ago, he got huge bump. weeks ago, he got a huge bump. you know, he went up 20, 30 points, depending on the poll from bragg indictment from the alvin bragg indictment when they raided his home in mar—a—lago last summer, he went from plus nine over desantis to plus 39. so these are these are moves that, you know, i wonder if they're not doing it on purpose because it really helps them and they've been trying this for seven years. you know, to get trump, you know, attitude from the left and the media. that's that's supporting the left in the us. you know, has been trying this for a really long time. every every effort seems to fail. i'm not suggesting that one won't work someday , but these these issues someday, but these these issues really help the president trump at least in the polls . what's at least in the polls. what's happened to ron desantis? greg he was meant to be the : 3 t“ t 7 greg he was meant to be the great bebwbbbeen— he was meant to be the great republican hope— he was meant to be the great republican hope who could crush bbben— republican hope who could crush breen erwen— republican hope who could crush biden, crush all— republican hope who could crush biden, crush all comers . his biden, crush all comers. his bebwbenby— biden, crush all comers. his bebwbenby nee— biden, crush all comers. his popularity has gone into reverse, and— popularity has gone into reverse, and we don't seem to

going to become very, very politically controversial and the king will have to tread a very fine line. well, but he knows that he he knows it mentally. i think he finds it very difficult to do practically. could i ask you as vesi— practically. could i ask you as veiit vnoi— practically. could i ask you as well, what do— practically. could i ask you as well, what do you— ii could i ask you as well, what do you make of the king— well, what do you make of the king ine— well, what do you make of the king the archbishop of canterbury,— king the archbishop of canterbury, let's put the blame wnene— canterbury, let's put the blame vnese in— canterbury, let's put the blame vnese in nv— canterbury, let's put the blame where in my view,— canterbury, let's put the blame where in my view, it should be, we oii— where in my view, it should be, we can all take— where in my view, it should be, we can all take part in this proclamation— we can all take part in this proclamation of— we can all take part in this proclamation of faith to our monarch. oh,— proclamation of faith to our monarch. o“ : �*isvs�*“sit"sit proclamation of faith to our monarch. o“ : �*siis"“sit"sit s:si:s monarch. oh, dear. where do we begin ? i, i just finished making begin? i, i just finished making my documentaries, which one? broadcast last night. my documentaries, which one? broadcast last night . the other broadcast last night. the other tonight on gb news sevilla on gb news. needless to say, when i actually looked at the text of the coronation service, which is unique because you've not only got the actual text of the service, you've got a commentary on the right hand side. clearly written by archbishop welby . i written by archbishop welby. i have never seen a more error fidden have never seen a more error ridden text , so. oh really? or ridden text, so. oh really? or one that understands words. the actual service less. there's complete fictions like inventing

a wonderful mythic explanation for the coronation iron glove. apparently it shows the power it holds the sword, but power is held tenderly. you know, you don't do anything to wrong. of course it was actually because the kings hands were anointed and you don't want to pollute the anointing. but the much more important thing is i think welby has pushed a line that the coronation is purely a religious service . it's not. it's an act service. it's not. it's an act of state. it's also , as i tried of state. it's also, as i tried to explain last night on the documentary, it's fundamental mentally a contract between the king and god . yes. but much more king and god. yes. but much more importantly, the king and the people. yeah and why? and the political nation and why i think this business of homage went down. popular act of homage went down. popular act of homage went down so badly . that hasn't been down so badly. that hasn't been explained and it's not been conveyed to people that this is not simply some mystical pouring of holy oils , you know, that had of holy oils, you know, that had been blessed by patriarchs in jerusalem, which is what i think

99% of the population in doesn't give a about it. i 99% of the population in doesn't give a about it . i really don't give a about it. i really don't think they care, but they do care about how they're governed and what the place of the monarchy is in government. and that's not being explained . i that's not being explained. i think if you were going to do this idea of a popular, as it were , response to the king, it were, response to the king, it should have been brought to the front. because remember the oaths that the king swears are very extraordinary. the first oath is that he will govern according to the law, but there's a little problem is actually not actually fulfilling the letter of the act of parliament. the act of parliament of 1689 spells out a different oath from the one that he will be using. what it should say is he will govern according to the laws passed by statute in parliament. in other words, this is a parliamentary monarchy and that it's the central guarantor of our constitution. and i think

just the royal college of nurses. we know that junior doctors as well. and the unite union are so far not willing to essentially accept government pay essentially accept government pay offers. however, there is some good news, at least for the national health service and indeed for the government today. as you say, with a dozen unions likely to accept a deal for their members, it's going to mean a one off payment of £1,655 for the last year's work. and a 5% payment or increase in the wages in the year ahead. so all in all, that will mean that much of that strike action from those sectors will come to an end . but sectors will come to an end. but but as i say , does not but as i say, does not necessarily mean an end to strikes inside the national health service . and health service. and unfortunately for patients up and down the country. and we could well see further strike action, as i say, by junior doctors and nurses in the next couple of months . okay thank

you know, they broke their agreement there. so they are having to make manoeuvre in all sorts of ways to make cover. and of course that puts pressure for on the rest of the overseas system. so i think that everyone's desperate and i think even nurses are desperate for a solution. but but, you know, the royal college of nursing is digging its heels in and saying that it's not going to accept this deal . lucy, it seems to that it's not going to accept this deal. lucy, it seems to me ine— this deal. lucy, it seems to me ine isovoi— this deal. lucy, it seems to me the royal college— this deal. lucy, it seems to me the royal college of— : lucy, it seems to me the royal college of nursing is out the royal college of nursing is oni oi— the royal college of nursing is oni oi sien— the royal college of nursing is out of step now— the royal college of nursing is out of step now with so many unions accepting— out of step now with so many unions accepting pay offers and sneii— unions accepting pay offers and ineis on— unions accepting pay offers and their own strike— unions accepting pay offers and their own strike on tuesday was inieei— their own strike on tuesday was was judged illegal by the by the high— was judged illegal by the by the sign sonn— was judged illegal by the by the high conn .— was judged illegal by the by the high soon . ase— was judged illegal by the by the high court . are they not in high court. are they not in ionies— high court. are they not in ionees oi— high court. are they not in danger of losing public support sonoieieiv— danger of losing public support sonpieieiv e— danger of losing public support completely ? it's— danger of losing public support completely ? it's hard to say . completely? it's hard to say. they— completely? it's hard to say. insv i— completely? it's hard to say. inev i neon— completely? it's hard to say. inev i i— completely? it's hard to say. they i mean, i think- completely? it's hard to say. they i mean, i think they- completely? it's hard to say. they i mean, i think they have got quite a bit of public support out already. i think perhaps more than the junior doctors who will end up with much higher pay , about 30 years

much higher pay, about 30 years of, you know, six figure salary and a good pension. nurses don't have that coming to them necessarily. and so they do have support because i think they are some of them , you know, claiming some of them, you know, claiming that they're struggling with the cost of living and they're using the fact that there is , you the fact that there is, you know, vacancies in the nhs to argue that they're not putting lives at risk . but the lives at risk. but the government policy of not, you know, allowing for more recruitment and improving the nhs is putting lives at risk. but some of the nhs leaders and some people within other unions are actually saying, you know, through no fault they are playing russian roulette with people's lives because they're deciding on this action, which for the first time, as we know last time, the last strike, they decided not to cover those life critical services such as intensive care accident and

meaning and i have an uneasy feeling that is being done less and less well and certainly trying to use religion and the church of england or indeed defender of faiths as the way you do that. i just don't think works for most people . i'll just works for most people. i'll just explain works for most people. i'll just eviioin wnoi— works for most people. i'll just explain what you— works for most people. i'll just explain what you mean- explain what you mean by that. so explain what you mean by that. so voo— explain what you mean by that. so von eo— explain what you mean by that. so you mean the— explain what you mean by that. so you mean the therefore the isiiisn— so you mean the therefore the british public,— so you mean the therefore the british public, the media is too now interested— british public, the media is too now interested in— british public, the media is too now interested in the minutia of wneines— now interested in the minutia of whether meghan— now interested in the minutia of whether meghan has said soneinini— whether meghan has said something that might have upset iois— something that might have upset kate middleton,— something that might have upset kate middleton, blah blah blah. as kate middleton, blah blah blah. is oiiosei— kate middleton, blah blah blah. is oiiosei io— kate middleton, blah blah blah. is oiiosei so o— kate middleton, blah blah blah. as opposed to a greater understanding of the significance of the symbolism oni— significance of the symbolism oni ine— significance of the symbolism and the ideology— significance of the symbolism and the ideology effectively sios— and the ideology effectively inoi ine — and the ideology effectively that the royal— and the ideology effectively that the royal family represents. that the royal family- represents. i think you need that the royal family— represents. i think you need to balance the two. i mean, look, i am pleased. i bitterly resent any notion that i'm not interested in gossip . and the interested in gossip. and the oh, you're a real gossip . and oh, you're a real gossip. and the naughtiest me. he loves gossip . the naughtier the gossip. the naughtier the better. so yes, that's that's that's all part of the magic. and indeed, one of the things that's extraordinary about this coronation how it's coronation is how it's normalised bad behaviour if you

actually the only reason that the royal family has gone in the direction it has, the only reason that elizabeth sat on the throne, that charles is on the throne, that charles is on the throne is because edward the eighth got married. a divorce zahawi and suddenly depher is okay. two divorces on the throne, two divorces on the throne, two divorces on the throne . indeed. i was saying throne. indeed. i was saying when i was joking at that dinner party, we were talking about before that the ghosts of anne boleyn and mrs. simpson are up there looking down and saying, we are vindicated. yes, we've triumphed . now, that suggests triumphed. now, that suggests something very extraordinary that the if you like, if you look at the early 20th century monarchy. yes it was a family. but what he tried to do was to present itself as the ideal family . do present itself as the ideal family. do you present itself as the ideal family . do you remember the fuss family. do you remember the fuss about plural, charles and diana, when the marriage first broke up, there was talk he couldn't possibly succeed . yeah, yeah. possibly succeed. yeah, yeah. because divorce was unthinkable. and somehow we've all got used

to it. we're just waiting for one thing, which is the first out gay member of the royal family. but it'll come. oh sure. i'm surprised it hasn't come oiseoiv— i'm surprised it hasn't come oiseoiv. wo— i'm surprised it hasn't come already. no names mentioned, of ini— already. no names mentioned, of ioi i— already. no names mentioned, of course, but i mean,— already. no names mentioned, of course, but i mean, three of the oneen-s— course, but i mean, three of the queen's children,— course, but i mean, three of the queen's children, patrick. queen's children, james patrick. isosiiv— queen's children, james patrick. exactly. _queen's. exactly. three of the queen's sniiisen-s— exactly. three of the queen's children's-ended. exactly. three of the queen's children's ended in children's marriages ended in iivosset— children's marriages ended in iivosset- - children's marriages ended in divorce,- and- children's marriages ended in divorce,- and buti children's marriages ended in. divorce,- and but as divorce, of course. and but as it were, that was that was seen as almost shame . now, suddenly as almost shame. now, suddenly it's stepped into the open queen anne divorced. camilla will sit upon the throne. king divorce. charles will sit upon the throne and be blessed. i would imagine , in some ways, through gritted teeth by the church of england, which denies them a marriage. yeah, talking of the queen's sniiisen— yeah, talking of the queen's sniiisen ,— yeah, talking of the queen's children , princess anne has children, princess anne has given— children, princess anne has given on— children, princess anne has given an interview , a rather given an interview, a rather unprecedented— given an interview, a rather unprecedented interview, a sit iown— unprecedented interview, a sit down interview. _ unprecedented interview, a sit down interview. let's have a site— down interview. let's have a little listen— down interview. let's have a little listen to— down interview. let's have a little listen to what she said . little listen to what she said. on.— little listen to what she said. on. i— little listen to what she said. on. i sniii— little listen to what she said. oh, i think the— little listen to what she said. oh, i think the slimmed- little listen to what she said. oh, i think the slimmed down was was said in a day when there were a few more people around . were a few more people around. make that seem like a justifiable right comment . the justifiable right comment. the world changes a bit. it �*" i g i the world changes a bit. it changes a world changes a bit. it changes o is — world changes a bit. it changes o is i— world changes a bit. it changes oiii. i isson— world changes a bit. it changes a bit. i mean, it— world changes a bit. it changes

very formal letter of abdication . it has no legal effect, whatever, until an act of parliament is passed saying that it's taken effect , everything it's taken effect, everything the monarchy can do nothing by itself , formally. it's itself, formally. it's interesting. it's because also the palace played a blinder when charles got engaged to camilla, i wrote the story on the front page of the times. they wrote the statement— page of the times. they wrote the statement said,— page of the times. they wrote the statement said, it- page of the times. they wrote the statement said, it is- the statement said, it is inieniei— the statement said, it is intended that- the statement said, it is intended that she will be known as intended that she will be known os isinsess— intended that she will be known as princess consort— intended that she will be known as princess consort when he io— as princess consort when he so ine— as princess consort when he comes to the throne. we wrote vesv— comes to the throne. we wrote vesv-in— comes to the throne. we wrote vesv-in-iines- comes to the throne. we wrote very in times wrote very firmly in the times wrote sne— very firmly in the times wrote sne viii— very firmly in the times wrote she will-queen— very firmly in the times wrote she will queen because the she will be queen because the kinds—insen- she will be queen because the. king's—queen unless king's wife becomes queen unless inev— king's wife becomes queen unless inev snonie— king's wife becomes queen unless inev snonoe ine— king's wife becomes queen unless they change the law. a they change the law. it's not osiooiiv— they change the law. it's not osiooiiv iow— they change the law. it's not osiooiiv iow .— they change the law. it's not actually law . it's convention actually law. it's convention convention. it's convention. and if the king's wife did not become queen, the abdication was completely unnecessary. mrs. simpson could have simply been known as mrs. simpson consort. you know, we despaired ourselves. morganatic marriage. they talked about it at the time. marriage, which is unknown at english law. it's again is the problem. there is english law is clear that the wife

still, i'm afraid , assumes the still, i'm afraid, assumes the status of her husband . but of status of her husband. but of course, the husband doesn't assume the status of his wife , assume the status of his wife, which is why, you know, terrible . i think us chaps should feel deeply aggrieved and complained to the equal opportunities commission that poor old prince philip wasn't king. no of course, going back to the middle ages , he would have been. and ages, he would have been. and moreover , it would have become moreover, it would have become the house of mountbatten . yeah. the house of mountbatten. yeah. and would have changed. title and it would have changed. title but we a parliamentary but we are a parliamentary monarchy. we're a royal republic . and that doesn't happen. it would have been a rumpus if she oss— would have been a rumpus if she osi seen— would have been a rumpus if she wasn't queen. yes— would have been a rumpus if she wasn't queen. yes charles would nove— wasn't queen. yes charles would nove kiskei— wasn't queen. yes charles would have kicked off— wasn't queen. yes charles would have kicked off behind the iii— have kicked off behind the scenes big time. you mean soniiioi— scenes big time. you mean camilla? yeah _ scenes big time. you mean camilla? yeah i/sitg “s: camilla? yeah yes. and i think that another which that there's another point which i really , really i think is really, really important. remember because important. i remember because i'm so ancient, i watched the coronation of 53, and even as an eight year old boy, i thought she looks lonely. the queen, the queen crowned alone , of course. queen crowned alone, of course. yeah. not not not even with prince philip in actual formal

attendance on her. it's a gigantic responsibility. and the way the coronation will work now is how it's intended to work with the mutual support of a king and queen. the double act, as it were, the grand act of the coronation of the king, the rather reduced coronation of the queen. but that sense of mutual loyalty and support, which there should be in a marriage. can i ask you where you first found your love of the royal family? i don't love the royal family. i'm a rational monarchist. i believe. i believe that the monarchy is one of the great continue threads of our history . i believe that why our country works is that we've avoided revolution. in fact , we did revolution. in fact, we did something even more remarkable. we reversed a revolution in the 17th century, and that keeping monarchy keeps a sense of legitimate motty of continuity , legitimate motty of continuity, of the essence of what we are what was going on in france at the moment, where you've had a

country that tore itself apart in a revolution and has never put itself together again. do you know what france has had? it has had five republics. it has had two empires and two monarchies in 200 years. there's a single successful republic. you even know how many times you've been inside this building behind us. i've lost count. any particularly memorable ones ? particularly memorable ones? yes. when? right i'll tell the story. when? when i was made a minute, when i. it's a short story when i was made cbe and it was explained the queen will exchange words with you. and when she's finished with you, she'll shake hands. the when she's finished with you, she'll shake hands . the queen she'll shake hands. the queen said, dr. starkey , what is said, oh, dr. starkey, what is your television series on? your next television series on? i said, you, ma'am , out of. your next television series on? i said, you, ma'am , out of . look i said, you, ma'am, out of. look of thunder. but you've never but vove— of thunder. but you've never but you've never managed— “s:sit but you've never but you've never managed to get on snoo— you've never managed to get on inoi ioisonv.— you've never managed to get on that balcony. david— you've never managed to get on that balcony. david maybe i'm sovini— that balcony. david maybe i'm sovini ,— that balcony. david maybe i'm sovino . wei— that balcony. david maybe i'm sovino . was, i— that balcony. david maybe i'm saying , well, i was going to say saying, well, i was going to say the saying, well, i was going to say sne ssene— saying, well, i was going to say sne oi— saying, well, i was going to say the scene of my— saying, well, i was going to say the scene of my public execution . vss— the scene of my public execution . vss. sios— the scene of my public execution . yes, that was— the scene of my public execution . yes, that was it— the scene of my public execution . yes, that was it for— the scene of my public execution . yes, that was it for less- . yes, that was it for less majesty. now you've got your
