On this unmissable episode, Ailsa Anderson, former press secretary to the late Queen, questions Prince Harry's decision to write an article on interfaith unity for the New Statesman, suggesting that it's a bid 'relevant', from a 'petulant child'.
Richard Eden, the Daily Mail's Diary Editor, is also on the show and discusses his exclusive story that proves to be a 'big blow' to Prince Harry and the Invictus Games in Birmingham.
He also breaks down the pomp and pageantry of the State Opening of Parliament - while Ailsa explains why someone was held hostage at Buckingham Palace this week. But don't worry! They were served tea and biscuits...
PLUS, Richard Kay, the newspaper's Editor-at-Large, is on hand to tell us about Andrew's upcoming day in court - which is not quite what you'd expect.
AND we hear from Sam Greenhill, the Daily Mail's Chief Reporter, in Reggio Emilia where he is with Princess Catherine on her first solo trip abroad since 2022, where thousands have gathered to catch a glimpse of 'Principessa Caterina'.

Is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor attempting a COMEBACK after his High Court triumph? Will Meghan Markle be apologising to Princess Catherine over what was said in the Oprah interview? And why is the King's trip to the Caribbean looking like it's a long way from paradise?
In an extraordinary letter, it seems King Charles has finally given Prince Harry and Meghan Markle a taste of their own medicine, that's according to the Daily Mail's Royal Editor Rebecca English. The monarch emphasised that the Sussexes should be treated as 'private citizens' upon their return to the UK and not as working members of the Royal Family. Rebecca breaks down what the letter meant and the exact phrase that the Sussexes took offence to. She also explains why the King's words may have led to a shock dropout from the Invictus Games. Earlier in the week, we saw Prince George arrive for his first day at Eton College. Of course, Rebecca was there and she couldn't help but notice the stark differences between George's first day at the prestigious boarding school versus William's experience. PLUS which special guest did the Prince of Wales bring out during his visit to Liverpool? AND we break down the long list of international royals who were in attendance at King Harald of Norway's funeral - and the reason why William was nowhere near the front of the procession.
