The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations. He's our Commonwealth correspondent, our Royal Reposhmont reporter, Gavin the G-Banger Grey, how are ya? I knew you were going to get that word in. I haven't forgotten it now. Gee whiz, this Kate Middleton, where the hell is Kate saga? Just gets better and better week by week. It certainly keeps on moving, doesn't it? Quite extraordinary. We are now receiving reports that not one, but three different members of staff at the London Clinic,

the hospital where she had her abdominal surgery, are alleged to have tried to access her medical files. There is an investigation underway. But worse, I think, is that the royals who have been using it because they're so discreet might find they no longer want to use that hospital. Wow. So, of course, Kate was out and about with William. There was video evidence of that. But then it's been questioned again by the internet.

Some people saying maybe it's a body double, maybe it's not. Kate, what do you have to say? She looked taller than Kate usually is. I mean, what do you have to say about that, Kevin? Yeah, I've heard. Megan, you're right. That is one of the things on social media. She looks too tall.

Another one says they thought it was filmed at Christmas because they believe behind them are Christmas decorations. However, the whole sort of focus went on to a well-known double for Kate, somebody that actually makes a living out of impersonating Kate and attending events. People don't want to look alike, he says of Kate Middleton. And Heidi Agin, she says, it definitely was not me. Read my lips. She says, this was not me.

I was at my normal job working somewhere else at the time. Of course she's going to say that. Of course she's going to. That's what she's going to say. Now, what do we think about these wild affair rumors with Prince William and Rose Hanbury? Is there any basis to this? Well, that has been a rumour that's circulating for quite a while, and it's interesting

because they live in a very fine country house not far from where Kate and Wills lived for a number of years. They were very, very friendly. Then they appeared to be less friendly. But despite all of those rumours, one of Rose's

children was actually then taking part as one of the sort of pages in various services that have been attended by senior roles. So that would seem odd if they weren't getting on. And then this allegation that the Marquess's latest daughter called Iris is apparently Prince Williamiam's own daughter that is a claim that has been widely made on the internet i don't really think it's genuinely true but of course lots of people saying um the apple hasn't fallen from the tree referring of course to prince charles and his affair i just think by now the royals are getting pretty fed up with it. And I guess Kate and her family must be getting more and more frustrated by it. But my question then, Gav, is why doesn't, if she's out walking around, and she was walking pretty fast, she looked like she was pretty healthy, Kate,

why doesn't she just do a video and say, look, I'm fine? I agree, Megan. It is odd that they aren't sort of taking that tack. They are trying to stick to their thing, which is that she will reappear in public around about Easter. And of course, let's face it, we're not far off Easter. And you would have thought all this social media swirl around rumors and conspiracy theories would have prompted them to change their tack. But apparently it hasn't um one thing that i do think was a big mistake having admitted that that um photo that uh prince william took of kate and the three children having admitted that

that was digitally doctored as it were then why not post the original image and say look you see there's not that much difference and i think this is one of the biggest missteps by the royals communication team for a very very long time. Seems like a pretty simple straightforward way to put it all to bed you're right maybe William because hey I've taken photos of my wife and the family and they're never up to scratch

you know you've got to get on the right angle maybe he didn't hit them angles and that's why they had to touch it up with Photoshop. Listen I tell you what this much anticipated appearance at Easter we're all hanging out for. So what do you think, Gavin? Make a prediction. What's going to happen over the next couple of weeks?

I think Kate will. They're absolutely desperate for her to reappear more properly in public. I do think that her visit to the farm shop where she was filmed and photographed was staged. They knew that she would be seen by a member of the public and photographed and filmed, and that's exactly, I think, why they did it. I think they've dug themselves into such a hole that they won't actually say for some considerable time

what her abdominal surgery was. Well, Lisa's given us all something to talk about. You know, let's look at the positive here. Yeah. We'll be talking to Gavin as much, won't we? Yeah. Giving us something to think about now,

miserable lives, Gavin. Exactly. Hey, thanks again for your time, mate. Look after yourself over in the UK, Gavin Gray. Cheers, guys.
