King Charles, his mum and how their relationship shapes today’s royal family

Charles was the longest serving royal apprentice in British history as his mother reigned for 70 years.  Their relationship was not always easy, but they shared a unique bond.  Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Ingrid Seward, editor in chief of Majesty Magazine and hugely respected royal writer and biographer whose latest book My Mother and I focuses on the King and late Queen’s relationship. They also discuss what the King learned about parenting, how daughters-in-law have brought them both challenges and what the Queen would made of Charles’s reign so far. Plus Ingrid answers listeners’ questions - and there is a new question of the week.  My Mother and I: The Inside Story of the King and our late Queen, by Ingrid Seward - published by Simon & Schuster Learn more about your ad choices.

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. Your regular companions are Host Ann Gripper and Royal Editor Russell Myers.
