The royal family were out in force at Sandringham on Christmas Day on a joyful outing to church, with Mia Tindall and the Wales children stealing the show.
Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers to look back on the festive season’s royal highlights.
They reflect on King Charles’ powerful Christmas message, royal TV highlights and what the family’s New Year messages told us about the Firm. Plus they get their teeth into the discussion of the royal family’s ‘main’ role and whether Empire has any place in Britain’s honours system today.
And they look further afield with the surprise abdication of Denmark’s Queen Margrethe.
Wishing our listeners all the best for 2024.

Om Podcasten
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.
