Pod Save The King

William and Kate return to Southport, Fergie cancelled and a window on Australia

Pod Save The King

Show Notes

The murder of three young girls at a Taylor Swift dance class in Southport last year had a deep impact on the country. This week, the Prince and Princess of Wales visited their schools to see how the communities are recovering.

Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper and Mirror royal reporter Charlotte Foster reflect on why William and Kate’s return matters.

And they also discuss the latest strand of the royal Epstein scandal, as a leaked email from the Duchess of York from 2011 led to multiple charities dropping their association with her.

They also catch up on Edward and Sophie’s adventures in Japan and a 116-year-old admirer of King Charles.

And with Charlotte having moved to the UK from Australia earlier this year, they discuss views of the royal family Down Under and whether it is on the road to being a Republic. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
