Meeting the King for bubbly at Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace is one of the most famous buildings in the world - but what is it like to be invited in for an evening reception with the King? Zena Hawley, agenda editor at the Derby Telegraph, joins Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper to take listeners inside the palace gates and last week’s reception for regional media, where she reminisced with Charles about covering his visit to the city in 1981.  Ann also caught up with Mirror deputy royal editor Jennifer Newton on the latest in the Sentebale row, the king’s health, Mothering Sunday celebrations, an exciting Homewards visit to Aberdeen and just how much you pay for jam.

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.
