you thanks for being on the program number two of us that you've interviewed haven't you prince michael of kent personally in the past how does this broader story look to you what kind of links do you think that may be here between the prince and we only got what's going on. good evening but well i remember the year right into you hugh was two thousand and three and that was a year after the first. articles in the british press appearing completely that prince michael and his wife who was that i read princes as princes for. the only sixty nine pounds for their argument and consent and it was then decided that the queen will be supporting him for seven years and by two thousand and ten he will need to be the food rent for his apartments it would be about hundred and twenty thousand pounds so when the year reign to him prince michael probably would be very concerned about you know his welfare and i think that is. it will the growth of sport at the pretty soon it's here so on the face of it though you can look at it one way a friend helping out a friend in times of trouble but of course this frien
