Charles Comes Home in Triumph, Archie's Birthday Candle & Meghan's Money Trouble - The week in Royal news.

Charles Comes Home in Triumph, Archie's Birthday Candle & Meghan's Money Trouble - The week in Royal news.

It's the week in review on Palace Intrigue, and the King came home to nothing but applause. From Front Royal's clog dancers and Thin Mints to a standing ovation in Congress and a submarine joke that is still generating column inches, Charles's US state visit closed out as one of the defining moments of his reign — with abdication talk evaporating and a whisky tariff removed almost as a bonus. Back in California, Archie turned seven without a photograph, a ninety-dollar candle bearing his birthdate launched anyway, and reports emerged of friction between Harry and Meghan over money, commercialisation, and the general direction of their lives. The OneOff fashion platform controversy refused to die. Tom Bower said the marriage will survive because Harry is lonely and Meghan needs the label. Princess Eugenie announced her third pregnancy. The Wales puppy was officially named Otto. Kate declined the Met Gala. William's Tatler portrait gave him significantly more hair than he actually has. Andrew's Sunday tea tactic with the Queen was revealed. Camilla drinks full-sugar Coke. And Queen Elizabeth used to dance to ABBA while getting dressed. As weeks go, this one had range.

00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.240
Calorouga, shark media at low and welcome through palace intrigue.

2
00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:14.599
I'm your host, Mark Francis. That sounds a little echoe

3
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:16.559
for the next few days. It's because I'm on a

4
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:20.600
boat in the Mediterranean and I'm using the bathroom as

5
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.079
a recording studio. Well, it's been a week in which

6
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.879
a king returned home in triumph, the Queen was spotted

7
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:32.200
walking unaccompanied through an American airport too mild Internet astonishment,

8
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:35.039
a prince turned to seven without a photograph, and the

9
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:38.960
Duchess of Sussex was compared in print to Dame Edna Everage,

10
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:42.880
Sarah Ferguson, and a witch. Not all in the same article,

11
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.159
but it was close. Let's get into it. We begin

12
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:49.520
where last week ended and this week began in front

13
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.600
of Royal Virginia, where King Charles and Queen Camella wrapped

14
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:55.799
up the United States portion of their tour with a

15
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.640
something neither Washington nor New York had quite managed to

16
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:03.240
provide warmth without complications, The King and Queen arrived to

17
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.719
find Main Street lined with people waving British and American flags,

18
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:09.959
marching bands, clog dancers, a parade of vintage cars, and

19
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.200
bluegrass music. They sampled the atmosphere mets, scouts, veterans and

20
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.799
young farmers, and brought with them a coronation keish, a

21
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.319
victorious sponge and honey from Royal Hives. Queen Camilla stopped

22
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:24.719
at a girl scout's stall and, in what may be

23
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.920
the most quietly charming image of their entire tour, brought

24
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:31.400
thin mints. Deep Crownd, reflecting on the visit, wrote that

25
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:33.959
the ability to stand on a pavement in a small

26
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.359
town and made people feel you are genuinely pleased to

27
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.400
be there is a real quality and almost impossible to define.

28
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:43.079
He noted the Charles whos been doing this for fifty years.

29
00:01:43.480 --> 00:01:46.079
The machinery is invisible, he wrote, that is what Front

30
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:49.799
Royal looked like. The broader verdict on this strip has been,

31
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.879
by almost all measures, extraordinary. The BBC asked whether the

32
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.840
Royals had got their mojo back. The Guardian called the

33
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:01.439
Congress speech a masterclass. Australia's Daniel Elsa wrote that seventy

34
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.319
seven year old beekeeper and watercolorist had walked into a

35
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:08.599
room containing the most unpredictable leader on earth and rendered

36
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:13.520
him positively giddy. Several commentators noted that abdication talk, which

37
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.840
had been circulating for months, had effectively evaporated. One piece

38
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:19.080
in The Independent argued that in the space of a

39
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.680
few days in America, charles image had been transformed more

40
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:27.639
rapidly than an Atlantic squall. Tony Walters wrote that the

41
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.120
King had emerged from the long shadow of Queen Elizabeth,

42
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:33.159
and done so precisely the moment the institution needed it most.

43
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:36.800
The submarine joke, it must be noted, continues to generate

44
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.759
coverage a full week later. HMS Trump, a Second World

45
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:43.360
War navy vessel that sank several Japanese ships and was

46
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.520
scrapped in Newport in nineteen seventy one, has now been

47
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.639
written about in more outlets than most active naval vessels.

48
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.159
The joke that accompanied the presentation of its bell, should

49
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:54.840
you ever need to get a hold of us, just

50
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:57.520
give us a ring, has been described in a Radar

51
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.639
Online report as the product of careful workshopping, with one

52
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:04.599
source of saying every beat was deliberate, We are choosing

53
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.960
to believe it was also genuinely funny. Trump, for his part,

54
00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.719
told Robert Hardman in the Oval Office that Charles is

55
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.319
a great guy, said William will be a good king,

56
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.319
and then asked whether Harry could make a comeback. When

57
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.639
told this was unlikely, he replied that wife of his

58
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.879
point and what she done to that guy. He also

59
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.560
reportedly asked a British visitor separately, can you take him back?

60
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.639
These remarks were not, it is worth noting, part of

61
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:33.759
any formal diplomatic communic k the tariffs on Scottish whiskey

62
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:36.599
were removed. Trump credited the King, saying he had achieved

63
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.280
something nobody else was able to do without hardly even asking.

64
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:42.759
Piers Morgan text to the President and reported back that

65
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.879
he was ecstatic. On Saturday Night Live, Colin Joe suggested

66
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:49.520
the entire visit of a covert mission to seek the

67
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.159
release of a British hostage held by an American terrorist,

68
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.800
at which point a photograph of Harry and Megan appeared

69
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.479
on the screen. The joke landed more palasing just a moment.

70
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:04.639
Now to the stories that ran in parallel with the

71
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:06.599
state visit, which is another way of saying, now, to

72
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.759
Harry and Megan, we begin with a birthday. Prince Archie

73
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.599
turned at seven on Tuesday, and no photograph was released.

74
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.879
This in itself became a story. Reports suggests Harry and

75
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:18.360
Meghan are at odds over how publicly to mark the

76
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:21.800
children's milestones, with once was claiming Meghan had wanted to

77
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:25.639
release a formal birthday image, particularly given that a lifestyle

78
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:28.279
brand had just launched a candle named after Archie's May

79
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.879
sixth birth date, priced at ninety dollars, while Harry is

80
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.839
said to be more cautious about his children's visibility. One

81
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.279
inside had said Harry worries about trolls and about putting

82
00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:40.519
a target mark on their young son's back, another suggestion

83
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.480
he is also concerned that continued commercial use of the

84
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:47.439
children's identities could put their royal titles at risk. The

85
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:50.519
candle launched on Tuesday, regardless, alongside a Mother's Day collection

86
00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:53.560
that includes a full edit, retailing it one hundred and

87
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.000
eighty six dollars with free standard shipping on orders over

88
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.439
fifty dollars. Serena Williams received a gift set and described

89
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.680
the chocolate as delicious, adding I don't like chocolate, but

90
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.800
I've been killing them. Reports also emerged this week that

91
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.639
the Sussexes have registered domain names, email addresses, and social

92
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.480
media handles for the names Archie and Willibert, a move

93
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.800
their team describes as protective and critics describe as the

94
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:20.040
latest chapter in a familiar story about commercializing royal identity.

95
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:23.240
Pr expert Chad Tkxera said the action would not cause

96
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.480
long term damage, but keeps that say one thing, do

97
00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.000
another narrative in circulation. He is probably right on both counts.

98
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:33.600
The one off fashioned platform controversy did not go away.

99
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:37.160
The heat Well Report claimed the situation has caused friction

100
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.079
between Harry and Meghan, with a source alleging that Harry

101
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.079
winces at what he sees as excessive money talk that

102
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:46.519
Meghan has told him to get on board. One source

103
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.319
said Harry was raised never to speak about money, and

104
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:52.360
it finds it goasch Another said Megan is incredibly driven

105
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:55.360
and he has told Harry clearly they are building a dynasty.

106
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.160
The report also claims she gets extremely defensive when accused

107
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.439
of being greedy, so the fact Harry's giving her a

108
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.399
hard time over it cuts a major nerve. Neither Harry

109
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.519
nor Meghan's team commented on any of this. We present

110
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:11.720
it in the spirit of which it was offered. Jenny Bond,

111
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.160
speaking to The Mirror, described Megan's habit of linking commercial

112
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.839
opportunities to charitable appearances as rather in your face, and

113
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:19.759
suggested it might be prudent for her to choose the

114
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.120
occasions more carefully. She also offered what was all things

115
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.680
considered a fairly generous conclusion that Meghan is an independent

116
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.439
career woman who found it difficult to have her wings clipped,

117
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.199
and that perhaps the simplest solution would be to stop

118
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:34.560
using the royal title and just use her own name.

119
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:39.079
This suggestion will not, we suspect, be acted upon immediately.

120
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:42.120
Tom Bower appeared on the podcast this week to offer

121
00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.600
his periodic assessment of the marriage, concluding that it will

122
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.720
survive because he needs her and she needs him, prescribing

123
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.480
Harry as a lonely sad man who needs the relationship

124
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.160
and Megan is someone who needs the label. He also

125
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.360
said Harry would probably like her half in half out arrangement,

126
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.319
but that Meghan definitely would not want to live in

127
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:00.519
London and that as long as they are married, this

128
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.279
is a completely untenable solution. He did not appear to

129
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:06.759
find any of this contradictory. Rob's Shooter reported that a

130
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.560
trip to Africa is being discussed, described by Inside as

131
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.160
a design to walk, talk and feel like a royal tour,

132
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.800
which one source noted is exactly the issue. Sources also

133
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.519
claimed that UK visit may be in the works, potentially

134
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:22.560
coinciding with Invictor's preparations in Birmingham, with Meghan described as

135
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:25.399
in two minds and having conditions that need to be met.

136
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.040
Harry is said to be considering acquiring a base near Windsor.

137
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.360
Meghan is said to consider that a deal breaker. The situation,

138
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:36.199
as one source summarized, is that neither seems ready to budge.

139
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:39.240
Deep Ground. Writing in a paid substack Piece drew a

140
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:42.600
line between Harry's Kiev's speech and the King's Congress address,

141
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.639
noting that both men argued for American leadership on Ukraine

142
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.079
in the same week, but that one spoke from a

143
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:51.439
security forum in Poland with no institutional backing, and the

144
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.240
other spoke from the floor of Congress to a standing ovasion.

145
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.160
Harry and his Kiev speech urged American leadership on Ukraine,

146
00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:01.160
Deep Crown wrote five days later, his father made the

147
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.439
same argument from the floor of Congress to the people

148
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.360
who actually vote on American foreign policy, and received a

149
00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:08.800
standing of vation. He did not suggest that Harry was wrong.

150
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.879
He simply observed where the architecture matters and where it

151
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:19.040
doesn't More Palace. In just a moment elsewhere in the family,

152
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.639
Princess Eugenie announced that she is expecting her third child,

153
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.879
due this summer. Buckingham Palace confirmed the news, noting that

154
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.879
Sons August and Ernest are very excited. The King, we

155
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:30.639
are told, is delighted. The baby will be fifteenth in

156
00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:33.879
line to the throne, will not hold an HRH title,

157
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:36.840
and will become the fifteenth great grandchild of Queen Elizabeth.

158
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.480
This is by any measure happy news, and we offer

159
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:44.279
our congratulations. The Prince and Princess of Wales revealed the

160
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.159
name of their new puppy, Otto, the chocolate cocker Spaniel

161
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.000
born to their older dog Orler, celebrating his first birthday

162
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:53.240
this week. Cancling of Palace shared the news with the

163
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:57.399
caption welcome to the family, Otto one today. Otto has

164
00:08:57.440 --> 00:09:02.360
already appeared in the couple's anniversary portrait and William's birthday photographs.

165
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:06.159
Here's by available evidence. Extremely cute Kate, meanwhile, was reported

166
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:09.120
to have turned down an invitation to the Mett Gala

167
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:11.840
despite what was described as a personal push from Anna

168
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:15.039
win Tour, who allegedly views the princess as the one

169
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.039
celebrity she wants and cannot get a palace, saw us

170
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.679
that Kate has no interest in playing that role and

171
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.039
was never going to turn herself or Diana into a

172
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.559
met gala moment. Megan separately was reported not to have

173
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.879
received an invitation a spokesperson tonight. She was upset by this.

174
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:34.639
The denial was not universally believed. Williams's portrait for Tattler

175
00:09:34.759 --> 00:09:38.759
generated its own conversation this week after Nigerian artist Olin

176
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:41.799
wally Oma Femei depicted the Prince of Wales with a

177
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:45.799
noticeably full ahead of hair than he currently possesses. Multiple

178
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.679
outlets around the image alongside photographs of the real william

179
00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:51.519
The contrast was observed in what we will diplomatically call

180
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:56.159
extensive detail. One source described the portrait as sycophantic and

181
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:01.240
a fantastical characture. The artist did not comment. Andrew's situation

182
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:04.799
continued to develop on multiple fronts simultaneously, which has become

183
00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:07.399
something of a weekly feature of this program. Robert Hardman

184
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:10.639
revealed this week that Andrew had a long standing tactic

185
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:14.519
of bypassing Palace officials by raising sensitive requests directly with

186
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.480
the Queen during Sunday afternoon tea at Windsor What Know,

187
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:21.679
when no advisers were present. Having obtained the Queen's informal agreement,

188
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:24.960
he returns Monday morning and declares the matters settled. On

189
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.200
source described this as sneaky behavior and identifying moments of

190
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:32.480
minimal oversight to secure outcomes. Hardman more diplomatically called Andrew

191
00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.559
impressionable and noted he could say the wrong thing, do

192
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:38.440
the wrong thing. Former PM Gordon Brown wrote in The

193
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.799
New Statesman that the police investigation should be widened immediately.

194
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:44.960
Emily Makeeless announcing she is fronting a new Channel four

195
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.799
documentary series examining the Epstein case, and a peerage expert

196
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:51.679
argued this week that despite the Palace's announcement of Andrew's

197
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.039
removal from the role of the peerage, he may still

198
00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:57.600
legally hold his titles unless Parliament passes legislation to remove them.

199
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.279
His new front door at Sandringham is painted the scene

200
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.919
light blue, as all the other properties on the estate.

201
00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:07.080
A local resident noted this shows just how far he

202
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:10.559
has fallen from grace. Sarah Ferguson tillby seeking a meeting

203
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:12.600
with King Charles to present her side of events, a

204
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:16.240
request that it's reportedly not being warmly received. She and

205
00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.919
Andrew are also said to no longer trust each other,

206
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:22.440
but once was describing the state of mutual paranoia in

207
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.720
which fears the other could take a large payment for

208
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.399
an interview, blaming them for everything. Neither has done so yet.

209
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:31.799
On later matters, Anne opened a new gorilla enclosure at

210
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.360
Jersey Zoo. Silverback led the troop inside immediately and begun

211
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:40.159
testing the climbing structures. Charles, we learned, has disliked cats

212
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:42.320
since Princess Margaret gave them one as a child and

213
00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:45.919
disliked it. On site, he does not allow anyone, including

214
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.720
William and Harry, to drive his Aston Martin. Queen Camilla

215
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:51.759
prefers full sugar Coca Cola at lunch on the grounds

216
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:54.360
there is no points otherwise, and Queen Elizabeth, according to

217
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:57.799
former dresser Angela Kelly, used to dance to ABBA's Dancing

218
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:00.919
Queen while getting dressed in the mornings, swaying to say

219
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.480
it while Kelly spun around like it was at a disco.

220
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.879
Queen quilt. The Queen Kelly said had a good voice.

221
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:09.559
Kelly did not. We also learned from the book The

222
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:12.120
Queen and Her Presidents by Susan Page, that Bill Clinton,

223
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.039
Barack Obama, and Joe Biden were all joking at a

224
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.919
funeral about the Queen's talent for making every Democratic president

225
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.120
feel like her favorite. Clinton said he would be shocked

226
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:24.559
if she ever singled one out. Trump meanwhile told the

227
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:27.200
author he had asked her constantly what she really thought

228
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:31.000
of Harry and Meghan, that she would only ever say lovely, lovely.

229
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.759
He claimed it hurt her. He also said he couldn't

230
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.639
get her to say it, which was given the context,

231
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:39.279
sounds very much like she handled him perfectly. The British

232
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.559
summer season is now beginning. Chelsea Flowers Show is weeks away,

233
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:46.600
Garden parties trooping the color Royal, Lascott, Wimbledon and Henley

234
00:12:46.679 --> 00:12:49.960
follow in sequence. The monarchy dresses itself in its fineness

235
00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:53.320
and proceeds through the calendar as it has for generations.

236
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:56.480
This week, a king returned from Washington visited a small

237
00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:59.919
shop in Bermuda and was described as delighted that is,

238
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:03.279
in its way exactly what the institution is for, and

239
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:04.759
they have it. If you'd like to email us on
