Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers to mull what the senior royals could have been discussing.

Mirror royal features writer Jennifer Newton interviewed James and joins the show to share details of their chat. Warning: you may end up wanting a dog.
