| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends. Welcome back to the airport. You'll weekly check in with the British Royal family. |
| 0:10.3 | If you're new here, I'm Omit Scoby coming to you from London with all the latest goings on from |
| 0:15.6 | Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, Clarence House, and the Sussexes over in California. |
| 0:21.4 | And there is a lot to get through this week. It is the week that I have money on my mind, |
| 0:26.2 | the week that royal correspondence dread because there are so many numbers to crunch, |
| 0:31.3 | but it is the week that the royal family or the royal households share their financial reports. |

| 1:31.1 | in 2020. So to see them back together as a sign of some normality, but also a rare close-up peak |
| 1:39.6 | into the queens in a sanctum, because whilst these meetings usually take place very privately, |
| 1:46.9 | the press are usually kept at bay, this time was a little different and the palace actually released |
| 1:52.4 | photos and footage from that meeting itself. |
| 2:17.0 | That was a queen catching up with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Their first face-to-face |
