| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the week in 60 Minutes, brought to you by Spectator TV and broadcast on 8th of June. |
| 0:18.4 | I'm Cindy Yu, the Spectator's assistant editor and your host for this |
| 0:21.7 | week. Coming up on the show, Prince Harry has been in London this week for the phone hacking trial |
| 0:27.5 | against the mirror. Freddie Gray writes the cover piece for the magazine about Harry's lonely crusade, |
| 0:34.5 | the first royal to take the stand this century. Has the prince been badly advised by |
