The royal family were out in force at Sandringham on Christmas Day on a joyful outing to church, with Mia Tindall and the Wales children stealing the show. 

Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers to look back on the festive season’s royal highlights. 

They reflect on King Charles’ powerful Christmas message, royal TV highlights and what the family’s New Year messages told us about the Firm. Plus they get their teeth into the discussion of the royal family’s ‘main’ role and whether Empire has any place in Britain’s honours system today.

And they look further afield with the surprise abdication of Denmark’s Queen Margrethe.

Wishing our listeners all the best for 2024.
