Description
New era, new name: Welcome to Pod Save The King, the award-winning Royal podcast from the Daily Mirror.
The Royal family is finding its way in a new era. Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III began his reign alongside Camilla, The Queen Consort. William and Kate became Prince and Princess of Wales. As the family changes, rifts remain with Harry and Meghan across the Atlantic and Prince Andrew is still in the aftermath of the Newsnight interview. There is joy too, as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis grow up both in and out of the public eye, and the Tindalls, Beatrice and Eugenie find their own ways.
Expect behind the scenes details, fashion, travel, causes, politics and society, plus interviews with people who can provide a particular insight into your favourite Royals, their work and their place in Britain today. “Lively discussions with a wide-ranging appeal. Refreshingly informal, totally unstuffy and a thoroughly modern take on all things royal. And it’s funny too.” - the Press Awards Judges, who named Pod Save The King Lifestyle Podcast of the Year.
Your regular companions are Host Ann Gripper and Royal Editor Russell Myers. You can join the conversation about the podcast on Instagram and Twitter for a chance to hear your comments on the show, and follow @MirrorRoyal or subscribe to our Royal Newsletter for all the latest.

What a load of rubbish. Tom Bower's book is written in the most factual way possible using events that have been well documented with no speculation. He is a lawyer and would, therefore, be careful to use substantiated information.
Don't forget to use the titles of the time eg they used symbols of the Empire, not the Commonwealth. Similarly, it was Edward VIII who abdicated - Duke of Windsor was his title afterwards.
What a nice tribute to his life of service and duty.
Why can’t you all just let them be?
This podcast is quite obsessed with Meghan. Why is it so hard to just let her make her choices? Why are you so obsessed with everything she goes and be so critical?
So glad to hear you're back!
