Pod Save The King

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have made a fine start to their royal visit to Pakistan - and it has certainly had the X Factor. 


Pod Save The Queen host Ann Gripper (@anngripper) is joined by Mirror royal editor Russell Myers (@rjmyers), style director Amber Graafland (@ambergraafland) and online lifestyle editor Zoe Forsey (@ZoeForsey) to discuss the tour so far, as the Cambridges tread in Diana's footsteps, just as Harry did on his visit to Angola. 


They also talk about Meghan and Harry's emotional night out at the Wellchild Awards, new information about baby Archie and a big week for the Queen - with the Mirror's head of politics Jason Beattie (@jbeattiemirror) giving his three minute insider's guide to the Queen's Speech.

You know summer is over when those back to school pictures show up on your Facebook - and this year one of the new students was Princess Charlotte. 


She joins big brother George at Thomas's Battersea, with their parents holding their hands on that all important first day (all immaculately turned out of course). 


The grown up royals are heading back to work too, after a summer break where the peace got interrupted by a row over Harry and Meghan using private jets, Prince Andrew's links with a pervert and politicians visiting Balmoral to ask the Queen to suspend parliament. 


And that means it's back to school for us too, with host Ann Gripper joined by show regulars Russell Myers, Amber Graafland and Zoe Forsey for the first episode of Season 3. 


They look ahead to Meghan's return to work with her capsule collection for Smartworks and the Sussexes' Africa tour, as well as reflecting on the first royal engagements of the new season.  For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor will be christened in the Queen's chapel at Windsor Castle this weekend - but the heightened privacy around the ceremony has sparked some debate.
One thing we do know is Meghan's family won't be there, as the family rift remains and the Duchess of Sussex seeks only positive role models for her son.
Pod Save The Queen host Ann Gripper is joined by royal editor Russell Myers and lifestyle editor Zoe Forsey to discuss the christening plans, a busy week of royal visits, news of upcoming royal tours to Africa for the Sussexes and Pakistan for William and Kate, and Mike and Zara Tindall's affectionate appearance on Top Gear.
