May 24, 2024 Bonus: The Palace and Politics
The snap election caught many by surprise - even the Palace? The month ahead was supposed to be a hugely busy time for the Royals with both ceremonial and state occasions. So what happens now? In this bonus episode, Roya and Kate are joined by royal biographer Hugo Vickers to explore how politics will impact protocol at the Palace, as King Charles faces the first general election of his reign.

May 23, 2024 Crowns and Chrysanthemums
We have a new monarchy - the King of the Compost and the Queen of the Bees as Charles and Camilla were re-named by the child gardeners at the ‘No Adults Allowed Garden’ at the Chelsea Flower Show. The visit comes as King Charles became the patron of the Royal Horticultural Society as his mother was for some seventy years. In a show recorded before the UK election announcement, Roya and Kate discuss flowers, weddings, garden parties and how the other members of the wider royal family might take up the slack in performing the more regular 'ribbon cutting' duties and how would these things be done without the royals?

May 16, 2024 Power, Pomp and Pictures
Roya Nikkhah and Kate Mansey are drawn to the new and very red painting of King Charles and they use this first official portrait to also look back at images of old to predict the future direction of the monarchy. They analyse Roya's exclusive earlier in the week on reports that the King had agreed to a request from the Duke of Sussex to stay in a royal residence ahead of the Duke's trip to London - Harry, it is thought, choosing instead to stay in a hotel. The two editors discuss how they piece together the jigsaw of briefings, tip-offs and insights to make royal coverage possible. It is not, in the words of Kate, all 'hats and champagne'.
