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.

When royals visit Ireland Mar 28, 2020

Show notes

Prince William and Kate's time in Ireland at the start of the month completed the set of senior royals to have visited the country.
The Queen's State visit in 2011 was momentous, as was her trip to Northern Ireland the following year.
Prince Charles and Camilla visited last year, while a visit to Dublin was Meghan and Harry's first official trip abroad.
Ireland's history, from independence through the Troubles, including the IRA's murder of Lord Mountbatten, the Queen's second cousin once removed and Prince Philip's uncle, to the Good Friday Agreement and reconciliation means royal visits have a particular tension.
Pod Save The Queen host Ann Gripper (@anngripper) is joined by Jilly Beattie (@jillybeattie), features editor of the Daily Mirror's print and online Irish editions, to discuss that relationship, why the royal family's celebrity counts for a lot, the very special relationship with the Queen and her own unusual encounter with a senior royal.
And Daily Express royal editor Richard Palmer (@royalreporter) gives an update from his travels with the royal pack on the Cambridges' recent visit, and previous trips with the Queen and Charles.

Meghan and Harry's royal reunion at Commonwealth service Mar 12, 2020

That meant a first public outing with the royal family since they broke the news they were quitting.

Royals remember the Holocaust and address the future Jan 28, 2020

Show notes

Prince Charles travelled to Israel for a series of important engagements remembering the Holocaust 75 years on.
At home, two photos taken of survivors by the Duchess of Cambridge were released to mark Holocaust Memorial Day before she and William joined a commemorative service on the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers (@rjmyers), who travelled to Israel to report on the Prince of Wales' visit, joins Pod Save The Queen host Ann Gripper (@anngripper) for an (almost) Sussex free episode looking at a busy week of royal engagements.
They discuss Kate's 5 Big Questions early years project and Charles' environmental plea - particularly in the light of his use of private flights to get around. Prince Andrew is back on the front page for the wrong reasons, but has had the side effect of alerting Americans to the case of Harry Dunn.
And with BAFTA encouraging guests to rewear an old outfit, hire one or pick vintage, listeners share their pick of the gowns they would like to see Kate give another outing to.
