Kings and Queens: Charles continues 1200 years of resilience and adaptability

King Charles III has the weight not just of his mother’s long reign behind him, but 1,200 years of history. Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by writer, broadcaster and podcaster Iain Dale, editor of Kings and Queens featuring an essay on each of the English and British monarchs since Alfred the Great - and a few who come with an asterisk. They discuss the past emotional year of royal history, why Charles’s reign has got off to a better start than expected, what makes a memorable monarch and the resilience and adaptability the monarchy has shown to survive this long. *** Pod Save the King is a Reach production.

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.
