duke of sussex

What is going on with The Royals? A surgery following King Charles enlarged prostate, William's sudden leave, and until yesterday we hadn't seen a glimpse of Princess Kate in public for months, after undergoing a planned abdominal surgery for a serious but undisclosed health condition. 

The internet blew up with conspiracies of what might've really happened to Kate, everything from BBL's to bangs. But why are we so distrustful of the information the Royal Family has given us? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we'll take a look at what is going on with the British Royals and why we feel like something terrible must have happened.

The session of the Indian Parliament has been adjourned until 2 PM. Later today, Rahul Gandhi is set to address the assembly regarding the ongoing no-confidence motion. Prime Minister Modi took a dig at the Opposition, saying that India is united in its stand against corruption and dynasty appeasement. He likened this unity to the spirit of 'Quit India' movement. Arvind Kejriwal, in a gesture of gratitude, has penned an 'appreciation' letter to the Congress party. He thanked them for their support in passing the Delhi Services Bill, emphasizing that it was on behalf of the two crore people. The Pakistani Parliament is preparing to dissolve for an upcoming election, which will not feature former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The Royal Family website has officially removed Prince Harry's 'His Royal Highness' title. This marks another step in the Duke of Sussex's transition away from his royal duties. Tech giants Dell, HP, and Apple are urging for an extension of the deadline by one year for restrictions on importing laptops and tablets. They're seeking more time to comply with the new regulations. In sports news, the Indian Men's Hockey Team has been grouped with Pakistan and Japan in the upcoming Asian Games. On the other hand, the Women's Hockey Team is set to face Korea and Malaysia.

This week the boys have a chat about Prince Harry's book, Spare, that seems to be causing a bit of a kerfuffle. It's our opinion for many reasons that Prince Harry should become the rightful King of Canada. 

Recorded February 3, 2023.

Thank you so much for listening,

I was always fascinated and in love with Princess Diana.  No one could hold a candle to her in my book.  So, it's been hard to watch William and Harry struggle, but of course, I was thrilled when each one found a lovely woman to marry, and complete their lives. 

In this episode, I will unpack some of the controversial interviews, Harry's book, "Spare," that just came out and promises to be a record breaker in terms of sales.  But Harry is also unabashedly honest about his feelings, and what he has experienced within the Royal Family.  Not everyone supports him and Meghan, but I do.  So I wanted to share some of my thoughts.

SAS Australia are inviting everyday Australian’s to be tortured on their new season, but the application rules are truly terrifying.

And it looks like Pete Davidson is head over heels for Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor, and the story was oddly broken by a British schoolgirl who spied them from her window.

Plus, in today's deep dive...in a plot twist that will surprise precisely no one, the latest Married at First Sight dinner party ended in tears and wild accusations. But according to a recent revelation from a contestant’s friend, one of the show’s worst storylines has not made it to air.
