we want to turn to nbc news royal
commentator daisy mcandrew joins us from
buckingham palace daisy good morning to
you i'm going to throw up these um
headlines that have been splashed across
the uk this morning nobody does it like
the uk tabs how is this hairy interview
landing there what's getting the
attention
well hello savannah and i have to say
hoda really did as you americans say
knock it out of the park with that
interview as far as the british
newspapers are concerned it's pretty
much on the front page of all of the
newspapers but particularly the tabloids
and you know that the tabloids and harry
and harry and the tabloids have not had
a happy relationship and they were
pretty damning i was just looking at
them a minute ago calling him the duke
of woke the duke of delusion uh saying
that it was his his dithering over
whether or not he's coming to the
jubilee and one of the more serious
newspapers calling it a snub towards
prince charles so a lot of the reaction
from the newspaper is very negative i
think the reaction from the public not
quite as negative though
let's talk about some of the substance
of the interview i think that the
comments that seem to have gotten the
most attention are where harry says that
it was good to see the queen but he says
he just wants to make sure that she's
got the right people around her and is
protected
and that did not sit well with uh the
british press do you have any sense of
how it's sitting with the royal family
well the sort of nude music that's
coming out is um in fact one of the
phrases that was used to me was quiet
consternation typical british
understatement if you like but i think
they were pretty hurt by some of his
comments and more what he didn't say
than what he did say so for instance
when hoda said you know
or implied to have you caught up with
your your father and brother or do you
miss them he just ignored that question
so the assumption being that no he
probably doesn't miss them he's
concentrated his remarks on the queen
and then so that that remark you picked
up on the uh
prince harry saying he wanted to make
sure that his grandmother was surrounded
by the right people and being protected
well of course the unsaid criticism
there is that he's surround she's
surrounded by the wrong people and that
she's not being protected so not being
protected by charles and william not
being protected by the courtiers and the
firm from buckingham palace behind me or
even not being properly looked after by
her own medical staff of course any of
those implications would be an insult
and i think has been taken as such and
finally the queen's jubilee today's the
actual birthday but when you're a queen
you get a you get to two birthdays um so
the jubilee is is later in in the summer
early june
harry left open the possibility that he
might come how do you see that playing
out was that a surprise
i think that's the one positive element
that uh certainly the royal family will
be reading into that that perhaps they
will make the effort to bring the
children who of course lilly beck hasn't
even met her namesake the queen yet and
as you said it is the queen's 96th
birthday and she's taken the decision to
remove herself from windsor and go to
wood farm which is a small for royal
standards five-bedroom red brick house
that prince philip
pretty much spent his retirement from
2017 in and we're told that she really
wants to have a quiet birthday
remembering prince philip and that
perhaps she'll have a tea party this
weekend to celebrate her birthday i
would imagine that might be with william
and kate because their country house is
only a couple of miles away on the
sandringham estate and we saw that
lovely picture of her with those two
fell ponies and i think we're led to
believe that it's one of the real draws
why she wants to be in sandring and
particularly when perhaps she's feeling
contemplative or sad because it is her
dogs and particularly her horses that we
know she turns to in those times all
right well she sounds like she's going
to her happy place daisy mckendree thank
