About this episode

The episode discusses the royal family's recent activities and controversies, including Princess Kate's upcoming trip to Italy and tributes to Sir David Attenborough.

This week, we ask an important question: is the royal family simply… too little, too piccola for all this drama? We break down Princess Kate’s upcoming trip to Italy and what it could signal about her return to a more international royal role after a disrupted year. From there, we discuss the royal family’s tributes to Sir David Attenborough on his 100th birthday and whether Prince William’s Earthshot ambitions worked their way into his. We also unpack fresh reports about William’s temper resurfacing in the press, a truly eyebrow-raising story suggesting Queen Camilla and William have united against the Yorks, and a surprising claim that last week's attack on Andrew MBW has implications for Prince Harry's security. Then it’s on to lighter fare: garden party fashion and...what may happen with the King’s possible postponed Speech from the Throne as Keir Starmer faces growing opposition within his own party. (We tried!) Grab a Pimms or an espresso martini and join us for this week’s royal roundup! ______________________________ New episodes every Wednesday and Friday!  Listen early & ad-free on Patreon , where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content…
