BBC Breakfast: Naga issues warning before royal report
Naga Munchetty paused BBC Breakfast on Friday to issue a warning to viewers before introducing a segment about Prince William.
Charlie Stayt began: "The time now is seven minutes past eight, and Naga, you have some comments from Prince William and the challenges, the personal challenges he has been facing."
The BBC host stated, "Absolutely. The Prince of Wales has said that the past year has probably been the hardest of his life.
"He has been speaking to reporters at the end of a visit to South Africa and Prince William talked about how he'd coped after both his wife and father were diagnosed with cancer, describing it as "dreadful".
Naga paused before warning: "I should warn you that this report from Meghan Owen has some flashing images."

As a video of Prince William appeared on screen, Meghan said in the voiceover: "All smiles on camera, Prince William on a solo trip to promote the Earthshot Prize in South Africa.
"But thousands of miles away, he told the BBC he was hopeful that the Princess of Wales, recovering from cancer back home, was watching."
The Prince of Wales said to the camera: "She is doing really well thanks, and hopefully, she is watching tonight and cheering me on.
"But she has been amazing this whole year and I know she'd be really keen on seeing the success."
Meghan continued: "While he put on a brave face in public, on his way home from Cape Town, he told reporters, 'It has probably been the hardest year of my life. So trying to keep everything on track has been difficult'."
The Prince of Wales went on to praise his wife and father, saying he was proud of them and praised them for "handling the things that they have done."
He added: "But from a personal family point of view, it has been brutal."
In February, the Palace announced King Charles had cancer and would begin treatment, and then in March, the Princess of Wales confirmed she was also undergoing treatment.
