Hello and welcome to In the Limelight, Vanity Fair's Entertainment and Pop Culture

Podcast. I'm Josh Duboff, Vanity Fair Senior writer, and I'm here with Julie Miller,

Vanity Fair's Senior Hollywood writer. On In The Limelight, we analyze the ins and outs of pop

culture, entertainment, and celebrity from the past week.

From the Kardashians to Kate Middleton and everything in between.

On this week's episode, we'll be discussing Kate Middleton and Prince William's major week of all kinds of appearances in which we learned what their TV watching habits are.

We also are going to discuss a kind of strange Tom Hardy Tale. It's phenomenal.

It's an amazing Tom Hardy tale. Strange might not have been the right adjective there. Also, Amber

Hurd went zip lining, but there's more to that than just that description makes it sound.

Let's talk about Kate and William first. They were up to all sorts of stuff last week,

and I know a lot of you reached out to kind of like let us know what they were up to.

It was all sort of leading up to the London Marathon because they're part of this group called

Heads Together that's working on mental health advocacy, and they had this whole group of runners

that was going to be kind of participating in the marathon. So in advance of that, they had this kind of all-out press onslaught.

I've never seen anything like it. Each day there was like a video of them talking and you don't

usually hear Kate Middleton speak. Yeah. I mean, that's one of the things I know we wanted

to discuss because I feel that it gave this whole kind of new level of access to them. Prince Harry did a podcast, but criminally it was not ours. I know. I was really disappointed when I saw that he was doing a podcast because I mean, I was happy and excited to listen to do it, but also, you know, it should have been ours. Like Harry, next time Harry needs to, we'll, we'll ask him

questions, I'm sure he doesn't want to answer, but I think he should still come on to our show.

But yeah, no, Prince Harry did a podcast. We had also Lady Gaga and Prince William. So there was kind of

each day they did a different sort of unusual form of media that the royals were featured in.

So first it was Prince Harry and he talked about how he went to therapy after Princess

Dana died and was very open in a way that Royals are never open.
