Pod Save The King

New era, new name: Welcome to Pod Save The King, the award-winning Royal podcast from the Daily Mirror.

The Royal family is finding its way in a new era. Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III began his reign alongside Camilla, The Queen Consort. William and Kate became Prince and Princess of Wales. As the family changes, rifts remain with Harry and Meghan across the Atlantic and Prince Andrew is still in the aftermath of the Newsnight interview. There is joy too, as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis grow up both in and out of the public eye, and the Tindalls, Beatrice and Eugenie find their own ways.

Expect behind the scenes details, fashion, travel, causes, politics and society, plus interviews with people who can provide a particular insight into your favourite Royals, their work and their place in Britain today.

“Lively discussions with a wide-ranging appeal. Refreshingly informal, totally unstuffy and a thoroughly modern take on all things royal. And it’s funny too.” – the Press Awards Judges, who named Pod Save The King Lifestyle Podcast of the Year.

Your regular companions are Royal Editor Russell Myers and Deputy Royal Editor Jennifer Newton. You can join the conversation about the podcast on Instagram and Twitter for a chance to hear your comments on the show, and follow @MirrorRoyal or subscribe to our Royal Newsletter for all the latest.

Prince Harry, Prince Andrew and echoes of the Duke of Windsor Apr 11, 2024

Princess of Wales photo frenzy as Palace loses control Mar 22, 2024

Show notes

The “madness of social media” over Kate’s extended absence from the public eye has reached new levels of insanity.

Sharing a sweet Mother’s Day photo of Kate and the children taken by Prince William should have been a reassuring moment - instead the edited image represented a PR disaster and sent the rumour mill into a whole new spiral.

Since then there has been video of the Prince and Princess of Wales at a Windsor farm shop and an investigation into an alleged breach of Kate’s medical records - while the royals attempt to Keep Calm and Carry On.

Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers, who broke the story of the medical records investigation, to try to make sense of it all - and what happens next.
