What's your reaction to this?

Well, this is interesting for so many reasons, and again, we'll get to security in just a moment.

Of course, there's been a lot of talk around this.

Are they invading their own privacy? I think we do have to be clear that Harry and Meghan never demanded absolute 100% privacy.

They just wanted to control the narrative and the messaging themselves.

So of course here we have a highly curated image of domestic bliss.

But I think where it becomes problematic is in the choice of images.

So what does it say, I guess, about the, the relationship between, uh, Harry and William?

Why has he done this?

Well, I think really it's a decisive move, but it's one that was necessary because we needed really clear clarification in terms of what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex plan to do moving forward and how they should be viewed and how their engagements should be treated.

So since they arrived back in the UK, they've kept a very low profile.

Harry was seen yesterday.

He was photographed at a podcast studio in London.

But we've been hearing snippets of information from sources close to them.

They've been spoon-feeding favoured publications saying...

Am I reading it right that he has also made it difficult for them to have public money spent on them if they are invited to somewhere and hosted?

Is that, is that a fair position for him to take, do you think? Do you see any merit in that argument?

I see two points here, Bronte, so bear with me.

First of all, I want to make it very clear that Ravec is not a petty committee.

Nobody, absolutely nobody, contrary to what you might see on social media, nobody wants anything bad to happen to Harry and his family.

Can you imagine if the Metropolitan Police ignored, uh, threat assessments and allowed something bad to happen to Harry or his family? So I do want to make it very clear that they're not in the business of punishing Harry or saying, "No, you can't have it because you left and our feelings are hurt." That's not how it goes.

They are relying totally on threat assessments.

Now, in terms of Harry's perception that he was born into this, this may be a controversial opinion, but I think former Prince Andrew could say the very same thing.

Uh, is this something they need to really iron out and have very clearly defined, uh, w- with the Sussexes arriving?

Do we know if William maybe has a strategy to deal with Harry and Meghan going forward?

Well, you're absolutely right on this.

This has been probably the most central point of all the news swirling around the Sussexes arrival back in the UK.

And that's because the brothers are known to have not been on speaking terms for a very long time.

There's been a lot of talk that William is supposed to be the bigger man, the future head of the Church of England, the Christian messages forgiveness.

Well, I would argue that repentance is surely part of the Christian message as well.

And I think it would do Harry well to show a little contrition, a little grace, a little humility there.

It's understood that no formal agreement has been reached, though, so do you think this is really going to happen, Victoria?

Uh, is it, you know, are they throwing on old clothes, barbecuing and behaving like any other family on holiday when they're there?

Well, first of all, I'm so glad you referenced that, Kinsey, because it's a perfect opportunity r- to remind everybody that The Crown is a dramatization.

It is taking real-life events and dramatizing them.

So yes, I think really what is so charming about Balmoral, and the reason the royals all love it so much, is because it is so informal.

It's like there isn't that same regimented structure to every day.

There is a big emphasis on outdoorsy, so whether that is brisk walks in the rain, picnics, barbecues, uh, hunting, fishing, going for long rides.

Whatever it is, everyone is encouraged to be outdoors.

Victoria, Victoria, what makes Balmoral so potentially intimidating for a newcomer? Is it that it's the royal family sanctuary, or is it the myth of all these rules that we've kind of broken down over the last few minutes?

So Victoria, is it likely that he'll stay there this time?

Well, with Harry, everything is a kind of wait and see.

As you rightly mentioned, earlier this month, there was a bit of a kerfuffle simply because Harry had dithered for such a long time over whether or not he wanted to accept his father's invitation to stay at Buckingham Palace.

At the 11th hour, he declined, then he changed his mind, and out of respect to his staff, the King was forced then to say, "Sorry, Harry, you waited too long.

You need to go and find other accommodation." But I do think it's important to note that the King has a standing invitation for his youngest son to stay at Buckingham Palace.

Harry has continuously declined that invitation, but I think in this instance, I'm hoping he'll c- certainly take the more gracious move and accept that invitation.

What will be interesting to see is whether or not the King and Harry see each other in early September.

Is that true, Victoria?

But would this be bothering the King, or like you said, is it just purely a schedule conflict with that?

It's very much bothering the King.

He is a family man at his core.

Uh, he has long been criticized by his family for being a workaholic, uh, and he holds a tremendous amount of responsibility as the King.

Uh, he has a lot on his plate.

But really the reason, the primary reason he hasn't seen his grandchildren is geography.

They live all the way in California, and Harry hasn't felt that it has been safe enough to bring them to the UK.

[laughs]

But are you able to bring us up to speed and share with us kind of the latest details surrounding Andrew and the latest on the police investigation?

Well, I think it's really important you did something great there by associating the police investigation, which is based on facts and allegations that are coming out from Andrew Lowney.

Andrew Lowney has made a litany of allegations about former Prince Andrew.

And I think we have to be quite careful with this.

It is very important to stay with facts.

the facts.

Andrew has no right of reply as a member of the royal family, albeit a disgraced one.

Victoria, it's interesting because the prince and princess have always kind of guarded their family's privacy, but who is speaking so openly there?

But does anything stand out to you?

I think mostly is how accessible she was, and that was simply because she was able to benefit from modern inventions.

But we talked earlier about her making the walk about the norm, and I love this story.

It was actually in 1970, she was on tour to Australia and New Zealand, and she'd had a rather lackluster visit in 1963.

And so aides had been charged with trying to think of something innovative that she could do to sort of jazz things up a little bit.

And at the time, Sir William Heseltine was her private secretary, and so he was charged with conceiving of a plan.

And he went to the Queen and Prince Philip after speaking extensively to authorities down under, and they had decided to try this thing called a walkabout.

Do you think that the public has just... maybe potentially not as interested as they previously were because it's been so long since they've seen them.

Victoria, not to draw conclusions about any of the images or the claims released with this recent document dump, but what did you make of those photos of Andrew crouched over that unknown woman?

Well, I think you're absolutely right, first of all, to say we can't draw any firm conclusions because the young woman's face was redacted.

There's no captions.

And so this has led, of course, to a lot of speculation.

We don't know who she is.

We don't know when this was taken.

We don't know if she was a willing participant.

Yes.

Will that happen?

Well, that is indeed what's happened.

I would be surprised if he strips him just yet, simply because of what's involved, Heather.

You know, it's very easy for all of us to say, strip him of his title, get rid of this princely title.

It's not as simple as that.

In order to strip his hereditary peerage, the dukedom, the Duke of York, which was a gift from the Queen when he got married, that would require an act of parliament.

And of course, people are going to be complaining and negative either way.

Do you believe there's more to come?

So has he, you know, has he taken the money and run?

Well, you raise a number of very valid points here, and this is where it becomes quite complicated.

Certainly online, he's getting a lot of criticism from people that he has settled.

And this is what's tricky when you promise that you're not going to settle and you're going to be a dragon slayer.

And it was just a few months ago in a forum with the New York Times that he was saying that for him, as you said, that this was never about money.

It's about justice.

It's about holding the responsible parties to account.

So this apology wasn't just for Prince Harry, but what about the rest of the royal family who were snooped on as well?
