Pod Save The King - Royal family news, interviews and fashion

2023 review of a rollercoaster royal year: Coronation, family dramas and the end of the beginning

The first full year of the Carolean era is (nearly) complete. The history books will remember the sparkle and fanfare of the coronation - but right now the rift with the Sussexes which has dominated the beginning and end of the year casts a heavy shadow. 

Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers and his boss, Mirror editor Alison Phillips, to discuss a rollercoaster year.

They reflect on the state of the family, their work and their relationships, pick their Royal of the year - and share their hopes and expectations for the Firm in 2024.

New era, new name: Welcome to Pod Save The King, the award-winning Royal podcast from the Daily Mirror.

The Royal family is finding its way in a new era. Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III began his reign alongside Camilla, The Queen Consort. William and Kate became Prince and Princess of Wales. As the family changes, rifts remain with Harry and Meghan across the Atlantic and Prince Andrew is still in the aftermath of the Newsnight interview. There is joy too, as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis grow up both in and out of the public eye, and the Tindalls, Beatrice and Eugenie find their own ways.

Expect behind the scenes details, fashion, travel, causes, politics and society, plus interviews with people who can provide a particular insight into your favourite Royals, their work and their place in Britain today. “Lively discussions with a wide-ranging appeal. Refreshingly informal, totally unstuffy and a thoroughly modern take on all things royal. And it’s funny too.” - the Press Awards Judges, who named Pod Save The King Lifestyle Podcast of the Year.
