Number 3: Diana’s Legacy: How has the British monarchy changed since her death?
It is almost 30 years since the death of Princess Diana, a moment that changed the royal family, the British public, and the way we think about the monarchy. In the years since, her story has continued to shape the royal family, from William and Harry's very different paths, to Harry and Meghan stepping away from royal duties, and publicly criticising the institution. So, how much has the monarchy really changed since Diana’s death, and how much of what we see today can be traced back to 1997? Enda Brady joins Pat to look at Diana’s enduring legacy, the royal family today, and the latest chapter in the Harry and Meghan story.

Between 2015 and 2025 the number of young people vaping or using tobacco products increased by 10%. Smoking portrayals in media has also increased, some of the world’s most famous celebrities are often photographed with a cigarette in their hands, and so-called “cigfluencers” have also popped up on social media but why is smoking everywhere at the moment and why is it seemingly ‘cool’ again when we all know the risks? Joining Pat to discuss is assistant professor in marketing Stephen Murphy.
