A very Special State visit

Pod Save The King

Show Notes

President Trump’s second State visit showcased not just the pomp and pageantry of royal life but the very Special relationship between the USA and the UK.

Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Mirror deputy royal editor Jennifer Newton to reflect on a formal occasion with a sense of informality - even in the grandeur of a white tie State Banquet. They chat the fashion, the friendliness and the gifts, as well as looking back on Prince Harry’s private tea with King Charles and the funeral of the Duchess of Kent.
