Pod Save The King

Show Notes

King Charles had hoped for an informal meeting with Donald Trump ahead of an historic second State visit. But the 45th and 47th US President will go straight to maximum with a full invitation with all the trappings for this September.

Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Mirror royal editor Russell Myers to discuss the announcement, the diplomacy around it and what comes next, as well as the latest Windsor visit of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

They also look at the Wales' week, where Kate remains out of the spotlight after her Ascot withdrawal while birthday boy Prince William has turned his attention to Earthshot and London climate action week, with Homewards next in the calendar - and we’ve all gone doolally for the puppies.

Plus the team welcome the selection of the memorial for the late Queen, puzzle over passports and get thirsty for rosé. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
