Bride and the groom and just any member of the Royal family Brian yeah lets give it another shot. Greg Palkot is over in London, Greg its not a stunning situation because we knew he has been sick, whats. The reaction been Brian, not stunning, but still quite sad. I was watching some of the BBC anchors presenting the news, literally just in the last twenty manipulates. We saw tears in the eyes of these. You know these hardened television folks, the whole country now taking this in. You are right, not a big surprise. Ninety nine years old, just shy of one hundred years old, he just came out of several several weeks in the hospital. I think a lot of people were preparing for this moment, but when we go out on the street, which we will very shortly, I am sure we will hear some very heart felt deep emotions for this man. He was the guy behind the throne behind Queen Elizabeth.

He was the one that was always there, hundreds and hundreds of royal engagements every year on his own with all of his interest: science, sports and activities internationally, but his most important role. Everybody will say it is as what they call con consort to the Que basically spouse to the queen and in fact, at the age of ninety nine, he had reached the point where he weighs the longest serving consort to the queen ever people liked him. Brian people liked him, because, yes, he did the formalities, but he was rather informal. He would say: well the darndest things from time to time way before political correctness became a fashion. He was deviating from the norm, but a real funny man and a great father and a grandfather I mean, as we have reported over

the years, he has played key roles: counseling counseling Prin, whether to marry, Diana and counseling again troubles with the grand chimplet and now, as your viewers know, he has been living through this latest dramas inside the royal family household. In fact, even when he was in the hospital, there was the whole Meghan Harry thing, going on deep, deep sadness and emotion: im just watching Boris Johnson right now, Prime Minister has just come out of number ten Downing Street and he is giving his first public words on Prince FLIP Steve. We will turn those around.
