Catching Up with the Royals

How the Middleton Family Shapes Prince William and Kate Middleton Behind the Scenes

Catching Up with the Royals

Show Notes

Richard and Emily are back with another episode full of royal news, gossip and secrets on Catching Up with the Royals for you this week.

This week we begin by uncovering the Royal Family’s so-called ‘secret weapons’ - the trusted figures behind the scenes who keep the monarchy running smoothly. Who are they? What exactly do they do? And as King Charles shapes a slimmed-down monarchy, could the royals need to look beyond its current working members after ‘losing’ Prince Harry and the ongoing fallout surrounding Prince Andrew?

Plus - as Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Prince and Princess of Wales, celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary Emily shares what it was really like attending the royal wedding at Westminster Abbey. From little-known details about the big day to what their marriage tells us about the future King and Queen, we ask whether William and Catherine’s relationship has truly stood the test of time.

And Kate Middleton was not the only one to marry into the House of Windsor back in 2011. In this episode we also explore how the Middleton family have transformed expectations of royal in-laws, examining their close friendships, loyalty and growing influence within the royal family - and whether Carole and Michael Middleton have quietly become some of the monarchy’s most valuable allies.

Finally, more than two months on from Prince Andrew’s arrest, we turn our attention to one royal whose views are rarely discussed: Queen Camilla. What is the truth behind Camilla’s reportedly strained relationship with her controversial brother-in-law, and what does she really think about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor behind palace doors?

Join Richard and Emily for all this and more on the latest episode of Catching Up with the Royals.
