Morning everybody. It's Friday. It's the fifth of met. Well, what a whirlwind of a program.

What a whirlwind of a program. Yesterday was a whirlwind of a program, but we couldn't talk about it.

This morning, we can talk about it. And we could talk about that secret announcement from the palace, which I did on the program earlier on.

Because, to be brutally honest with you, everybody said exactly

the same, how long are they going to make him work? You know, he's 95, coming up 96. Of course,

Prince Philip should stop working. I think the Queen should as well. Do you know how many charities?

He heads up, nearly 800 charities. You know, and some of them really unlikely. The Cartoon Museum. He's been an honorary member of that for about 40 years. And you think he's, you know, somebody said to him yesterday, sorry to hear you're standing down. And he said, well, I can't stand up much longer. I mean, and also he's had friends who've died. The Queen has had friends who've died. Why should we make, God, let the poor man sit down. I agree. I agree. I think, you know, that was the best news I think we'd heard. I mean, he's got existing engagements, which I told you on the programme about. But he's not going to be taking any new ones. Unless he chooses to do it, it depends how he feels.

But as I say, it's about time the old boy was allowed to sit at a... What he'll do, I don't know.

I think how do you crossword? You've got the son, junior, crossword. You know, admittedly,

as I, as you heard on the program earlier on, Prince Phillips gaffs, you know, but he is from a different generation. They make these sort of thing, people go, oh God, how can he say that? And you go, because he's Prince Philip. You can do what he blubbing well likes as well as I'm, listen, he's made it to 95, 96. I don't care what he does. I always said, always stood by the fact that I absolutely love him. Love him to pieces.

I'd love to have interviewed him.

Frank Magister. I don't care what he does. I always said, always stood by the fact that I absolutely love him. Love into pieces. I'd love to have interviewed him. For in, mind you. It's still time, I suppose. For in conversation. So, I don't want to answer questions on that. He's sounding a bit like Prince Charles, actually. I suddenly realised my Prince Charles and Prince Philip are exactly the same voice. It is the problem with the royals.

They've... Yeah, you have to have everything vetted. You can imagine. I don't think I get through the vetting system. Pippa and her fiancé James make their first official public appearance together. Like anybody gives us stuff. I'm sorry, the sister of somebody who happened to marry a royal. Why don't we just get third cousin twice removed and find out what the cleaning lady thinks about it.

I couldn't care less that Pippa's getting married to Spencer Matthew's brother.

I'm seriously not interested. I know I'm supposed to, but I'm not. I really couldn't care less.
