The Royals' Inner Circle: Friends, Betrayals and Trusted Nannies

Catching Up with the Royals

Show Notes

From Princess Anne and Peter Phillips to royal friendships, nannies and Buckingham Palace secrets - Richard and Emily cover it all in this week's episode of Catching Up with the Royals.

With Peter Phillips' wedding fast approaching we take a closer look at Princess Anne's famously close relationship with her children and explore the bond she shares with her son ahead of the latest royal wedding.

We also delve into the royal family's inner circle, discussing the royals' closest friends, trusted confidants and the betrayals that have rocked the monarchy over the years. Plus, Richard and Emily ask which famous faces and mutual friends have quietly chosen sides in the ongoing Prince William and Prince Harry feud.

The conversation then turns to the royal nannies who have helped raise generations of royals. From the qualifications required to work with the Royal Family to the prestigious training schools that supply royal childcare staff, Richard and Emily uncover the fascinating stories behind the people who spend some of the most time with the Windsors.

Elsewhere, with Buckingham Palace's major refurbishment project still ongoing we explore the history, hidden features and little-known secrets of one of the most famous royal residences in the world.

And finally, we tackle a viewer question: what perfumes and signature scents do members of the Royal Family wear, and can you really identify a royal by their fragrance?
