June 27, 2025 Trump’s visit fast tracked? And William’s reign reimagined

Roya and Kate take you inside King Charles's preparations to host President Trump for an unprecedented second state visit, one that seems to have been fast-tracked by the British Prime Minister, and might be raising eyebrows at the palace. How much say does the King have over who he meets and when, and what does Donald Trump’s return means for Windsor, Westminster, and Washington?

And a special look at how Prince William, the heir to the throne is reimagining royalty for when he is King. Roya has been delving into how his reign could look radically different. And together Roya and Kate explore how his time as king could mark a major shift for the monarchy with a stripped-back, medieval-inspired coronation to a complete overhaul of how the palace is run. What does it really mean to “look under the hood” of the royal household? And how far is William likely to move away from long-standing ceremonial traditions as he balances modernisation with royal heritage?
