Its 12 07 and the princess of wales has been seen in public for the First Time Since her Abdominal Surgery in january, alongside her mother, carole middleton. Yes it comes after it was claimed last night that kates black sheep uncle Gary Goldsmith, was scolded after signing up to Celebrity Big Brother amid fears he could spill secrets about the royal family well, there you go. It looks like hes already laid into prince harry a little. Joining us to discuss this is our royal correspondent, cameron walker. Now, we talked about at the top of the show a media blackout. Its funny, isnt it, of the show a media blackout. Its funny, isnt it , how we its funny, isnt it, how we have pictures of the princess plastered across american, uh, out. Lets. Yet in britain, out. Lets. Yet in britain, broadcasters make the decision and the press makes the decision not to. Yeah, this was an unauthorised paparazzi photograph , which, as you said, photograph, which, as you said, was published by a us magazine last night. Was published by a us magazine last night. It is quite an intrusive photograph. It shows the princess of wales in the passenger seat of a car wearing black sunglasses, being driven by her mother, carole middleton. Middleton its understood that the photograph was taken at just after 9 00, so they would have been returning from a school run. It was on a road near windsor. It was a public road, in theory, theres nothing wrong with taking photographs in public, think this is public, but i think this is a taste and decency thing. And i think the british media have decided not to publish the image. We feel that the princess of wales is entitled to privacy to recover in private. But of course , what that doesnt stop course, what that doesnt stop and clearly the palace cant control is that the social media images or the images going on social media and going viral for the to world see if they wish to do so. But on the to world see if they wish to do so. But on the the to world see if they wish to do so. But on the positive note, do so. But on the positive note, what it has done is quashed. What it has done is quashed. Some of those, perhaps slightly more distasteful rumours, which have been swirling online over the last couple of weeks about the last couple of weeks about the state of the princess of waless health. Because it does show her in the passenger seat of a car clearly she is well of a car so clearly she is well enough get in car and enough to get in the car and therefore we should therefore perhaps we should be slightly from that. Slightly reassured from that. But suspect Kensington Palace but i suspect Kensington Palace are not too pleased with the idea and idea of unofficial and unauthorised photographs being taken princess. Taken of the princess. This is where my cameron. This is where my slightly mindset slightly conspiratorial mindset kicks into gear, because obviously wed seen a crescendo of rumour, of salacious gossip online, all sorts of, uh, suggestive things about where the princess of wales was ranging from the, uh, frankly, para d like to the more serious allegations, and then suddenly we see this picture , this we see this picture, this picture that is also released the day that , uh, the, the the day that, uh, the, the princess of wales uncle enters a Television Reality television program. Is there some slice of program. Is there some slice of this . Just all that seems a bit too convenient. Perhaps the princess of wales chose to get in that seat in that car on that pubuc in that seat in that car on that public road , because all of that public road, because all of that rumour was getting too much. Rumour was getting too much. Um, i doubt it, to be honest. And i think if you spin it on your on its head, tom, perhaps the newspaper publication in question or the us websites and the photographer were very, very keen to and snap a picture keen to try and snap a picture of the princess of wales because of the princess of wales because of they knew of all the rumour, and they knew how it would um, online how well it would do, um, online and, and in United States. And, and in the United States. But obviously never say never, and, and in the United States. But also ously never say never, and, and in the United States. But also ,jsly never say never, and, and in the United States. But also , um,� |ever say never, and, and in the United States. But also , um, adding|y never, and, and in the United States. But also , um, adding to 1ever, and, and in the United States. But also , um, adding to that, but also, um, adding to that, Gary Goldsmith stuff with big brother, the princess, as the British Army Even has announced that the princess of wales is going to be attending a trooping the colour rehearsal on the 8th of june. But Kensington Palace, its understood, was not consulted by about this british Army Announcement and not only that, um, it appears that only they can announce officially if they can announce officially if the princess is going to be taking part. So its very, very murky. Not been guaranteed murky. Its not been guaranteed that the princess is taking part in that engagement. However, it would the first would be, if true, the first pubuc would be, if true, the first Public Engagement announced postAbdominal Surgery. But of course, all of this. The timing course, all of this. The timing is significant. Theres been so is significant. Theres been so many things happening all at once today with very interesting and very interesting. And, uh, just lastly , gary and, uh, just lastly, Gary Goldsmith in Celebrity Big Brother. Seems hes already had something to say about his royal connections, but also hes spoken to the sun. Yeah , hes done a big yeah, hes done a big interview with the sun where he really sings kates praises. His niece saying that shes beautiful outside as well beautiful on the outside as well as the inside. He also slates as on the inside. He also slates harry meghan, saying that he harry and meghan, saying that he threw that harry threw his family under a bus , particularly family under a bus, particularly when it came to the princess of wales. He also called out omid scobies biography enders game or the royal book ends game, saying that its absolute a word i cant repeat on television in the daytime. Um, kate is 100 not racist, neither is carol, kates mother. This is referred to the dutch translation of the book, which appears to allege that the princess of wales questions what colour archies skin would be when he was born, which Kensington Palace hasnt commented said. But but commented on. He said. But but gary, her uncle, said that its absolute rubbish and its ridiculous. I find it very hard to believe that the princess would want him to be saying such things to a tabloid newspaper, but hey, dont know. Thank but hey, we dont know. Thank you indeed. Cameron you very much indeed. Cameron walker, gb news royal correspondent isnt he . Walker, gb news royal cor|had ndent isnt he . Walker, gb news royal cor|had ajent isnt he . Walker, gb news royal cor|had a very isnt he . Walker, gb news royal cor|had a very good he . Walker, gb news royal cor|had a very good answer for, had a very good answer for, uh, for the idea that, okay, yeah, theres all of this speculation online the speculation online and the picture appears. Could picture appears. Well, it could be that just the american outlets will now pay the outlets have will now pay the big those paparazzi big for bucks those paparazzi pictures. Theres a bit of pictures. Sure theres a bit of me that still thinks , why is she me that still thinks, why is she getting the car shes sort of getting the car if shes sort of laying low suddenly, all this speculation. Well, maybe she just travel and, you just had to travel and, you know, theres only so many ways you could. It was probably through, you know. Well, uh, maybe, maybe , know. Well, uh, maybe, maybe, maybe let us know what you think at anyway, joining us now at home. Anyway, joining us now to is to discuss this further is former Protection Officer former royal Protection Officer dave davies. Thank you very much indeed joining us. Uh, well, indeed for joining us. Uh, well, thats a question. Should we put thats a question. Should we put that to him . Lets put di what do you think this idea that that think about this idea that that perhaps this wasnt all accidental, that the princess deliberately got in that car , deliberately got in that car, deliberately got in that car, deliberately got in that car, deliberately got on that school run because of all the speculation about where she is . Speculation about where she is . Well, good afternoon. Uh, the well, good afternoon. Uh, the straight answer would be no. I dont think its any kind of conspiracy. Im delighted that conspiracy. Im delighted that princess is feeling better so that she can. And its a presumption that she was going to or from the school. What to or from the school. What concerns me more is the security implication. Uh, where was the implication. Uh, where was the backup . How was a photographer able to get this direct photograph . It reminds me of the photograph . It reminds me of the issues. What happened in the south of france. Although they were more salacious in the fact that she was photographed with very little clothes on. It also reminds me of edward the eighth going back , uh, into the 30s, going back, uh, into the 30s, where the americans were publishing all manner of pictures of him and mrs. Simpson in, um, here we are again , the in, um, here we are again, the americans doing this, i think the British Press are to be commended for the fact that they have not published it, and they have not published it, and they have been restrained in doing anything. On the other hand , you anything. On the other hand, you know, theres so much, uh , know, theres so much, uh, speculation as to what was really wrong with her, etc, etc. So um, but on balance, i dont think its reasonable. And i would hope that somebody gets a grip of this and stops this nonsense. As far as shes concerned. Well di remind us as a former royal Protection Officer yourself, remind us the lengt
