The Royals

This week, Roya and Kate are both sports correspondents and property correspondents as England edge closer to Euros glory, Buckingham Palace gets a newly-spruced wing and and the Prince of Wales presses on with his homelessness campaign. The King has already sent his best wishes to the team, but will William be in Berlin for the final? And Roya explains what it's really like behind the most famous...

"I have just returned from Buckingham Palace, where I accepted an invitation from His Majesty the King to form the next government of this great nation" said Sir Keir Starmer, but what exactly is the relationship between monarch and Prime Minister?

The King and Queen are at Ascot, and so are Roya and Kate for this bonus edition of 'The Royals' where they talk through the warmth of the reaction to Kate's appearance at last weekend's Trooping the Colour - and just how did Roya know she might be there?

Why being at Trooping of the Colour is so important to the Royal Family, and Kate and Roya discuss the possibilities of public appearances by the Princess of Wales. And why Kate was photographed with (football) royalty and Roya was suspiciously close to an attempt to deface a portrait of the King. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In April, the King's invitation to their Majesties The Emperor and Empress of Japan to pay a State Visit to the UK was accepted and scheduled for late June, with the King and Queen hosting at Buckingham Palace. But after the Prime Minister's surprise decision to call a snap election within weeks, what now happens to the soft power of a State Visit and why do they actually matter? And a look ahead...

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. Hos...

In a show recorded before the UK election announcement, Roya and Kate discus...

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.
