What does 2026 have in store for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle?
Where will Prince George go to secondary school?
And what do you do when a senior Royal catches you speeding round Buckingham Palace?
On Talking Royals this week, Charlene White is joined by Royal Editor Chris Ship, Royal Expert Lizzie Robinson, and presenter and WellChild ambassador Laura Hamilton.
The panel discusses Prince Harry’s forthcoming return to the UK for his court case against the publisher of the Daily Mail. Plus, the continuing debate over whether he will regain his publicly funded security, and if he does, will it pave the way for more visits from Meghan and the children - and a new relationship for them with their grandfather, the King?
Laura also shares her experience sharing a stage with Prince Harry and a memorable run-in with Prince Philip.
Looking ahead, the team explores what could be in store for the Royal Family in 2026, including where Prince George may attend secondary school.
Elsewhere, the Prince and Princess of Wales have carried out their first public engagement of the year, visiting Charing Cross Hospital. To mark her 44th birthday, the Princess of Wales also released the final instalment of her Mother Nature series, featuring her walking through a wintry landscape.
Plus, in a Talking Royals exclusive, we reveal rare, never-before-seen footage from Charles and Diana’s wedding in 1981.
