The Royal Family’s New Battle: The AI Era & Harry's Rival Court

Catching Up with the Royals

Show Notes

This week on Catching Up with the Royals Richard and Emily dive into royal scandals, family feuds, AI fake photos and what really happens at a royal palace garden party.

It’s been more than 30 years since King Charles III (then Prince Charles) and Princess Diana announced their separation to the world - but what about the infamous “third person” in their marriage, Queen Camilla? While Charles and Camilla’s relationship is now firmly accepted within the royal family, Richard and Emily explore the hidden history of royal mistresses, extramarital relationships, and the women who have influenced the British monarchy behind palace walls for generations.

Plus, we tackle one of the biggest royal questions of the moment: could Prince Harry’s upcoming return to the UK for the Invictus Games mark the beginning of a part-time return to royal life for both Harry and Meghan Markle? And if so, could the Duke and Duchess of Sussex become direct rivals to Prince William and Princess Catherine as the future of the monarchy unfolds?

The pair also answer your royal viewer questions. After spotting strange AI-generated photos and videos of the royal family online, one listener asks how to tell what’s real and what’s fake. Richard and Emily discuss the rise of artificial intelligence, deepfake royal content, and how the monarchy may need to adapt in the digital age.

And finally, with royal garden party season coming to a close, Emily reveals what it’s really like to attend a Buckingham Palace garden party - from royal etiquette and dress codes to the surprising behind-the-scenes details most people never hear about.
