Hello, hello, hello, hello. Welcome to The Naudy But Nice with Rob Shooter, your host, bringing you all the celebrity dish. I'm a gossip columnist here in New York. I used to be a publicist, so I know where all the dishes. And joining me today is one of my favorite entertainment writer, senior editor, dare I say, Mark Lubbo from Us Weekly. Hello, Mark, welcome back. Hey, Rob. Thanks for having me back. We love having you around. It's been a very busy week to Us Weekly. We'll get into that just a second. Last night I went to see a play. Soldiers play with Blair Underwood. It's on Broadway. He's shirtless during the play. And people go so mental that the play actually stops. So if you were at the soldiersiers' Play last night and you're annoyed with people screaming, I apologize. I was there too. He is beautiful. Remember him from Sex and the City? Of course. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. What is that? We hear? What is that? Indeed, it is the chimes of Big Ben, which means it is tea time.

It's time for us to break down every single story that you're going to be caring about today.

Mark, even though it's my show, Monster, you have a better lead story than me.

You have an exclusive here, an Us Weekly cover that I think is hitting nationally tomorrow, so we

get it first.

Thank you.

What's going on?

Yes, Rob.

So this story is out tomorrow, Friday.

So Duchess Kate has been in a panic since Prince Harry and Megan Markle announced their

exit.

A panic.

A panic.

So of course, I was shocked just like anyone else when Prince Harry and Megan said

they wanted to live a more independent private life. And they dumped their responsibilities

onto the other royals. So our sources are telling us that Kate is in work mode. She's working

working so hard. She's exhausted from all the extra responsibilities.

Now it sounds like it's a very easy job. So I know what you're thinking, listening to this. I'm thinking it myself. Going to wave at hospitals or opening charities, that doesn't seem like a lot of work. But I think this is how you should think about this. Tonight, think about it, wherever you work. Tonight you have to go to a party that you don't want to go to with people you don't know. You have to put on a nice dress, nice suit. You have to go to a crowd. You have to shake hands, and you have to do that three times a day, every day for years. It's exhausting. It's not as easy as it sounds. You've got to always be cheerful and happy. What your sources are saying is that Kate's had enough of this. Keith had enough.

She has anxiety. She's having a hard time sleeping. She's really overworked. And we have to remember, Kate's a mom of three kids under the age of 10. And she's also married. So she's trying to balance her work life along with her family life and she's having a

hard time with it. This is so interesting. I never thought about this part of the story. Now that Harry

and Megan have left, their workload, what they did has been dumped onto the other members of the

family. So all that slack is being picked up by Kate and William. If you hadn't turned up today, I would have had to do this whole show by myself, Mark,
