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.

Goodbye, Prince Philip Apr 13, 2021

Show notes

The Duke of Edinburgh passed away peacefully at Windsor Castle at the age of 99 on Friday - leaving a huge void for the Queen.
Their bond over 73 years of marriage, and his presence as her “strength and stay” have been a huge part of the Queen’s reign. And the whole royal family will feel the absence of a unique character who was head of the family, just as the Queen is head of The Firm.
Pod Save The Queen host Ann Gripper is joined by Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers and the Mirror’s online features editor Zoe Forsey to reflect on the emotional impact of Prince Philip’s death, the tributes paid by royals, his funeral and his extraordinary life.
