00:00 It is very sad that a man has got cancer, but let's remember he is
00:03 but a man, he is not any more special. He is the king. That does
00:08 make him quite special. He is a celebrity and it is always very sad

00:35 today who have woken up and they might be 56, they might need to go
00:38 to work with cancer. Would they be working at 75 as hard as he does?
00:42 Do you know any 75-year-old that works as hard as he does? What hard?
00:46 75? Let's not get into this today because I feel bad because a man is
00:49 unwell and a family is unwell. You don't think he works hard? I
00:52 appreciate that. I think it is a pretty cushy job that many of us
00:55 could do. I think I would be fine being King of England. I could do
00:59 it as a side job. You would have to identify as a man, which I know
