274: Platinum Jubilee Special: Sarah, Duchess of York; Onjali Rauf & the Big Jubilee Read

This week we're celebrating The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Sarah, Duchess of York, will share some royal reminiscences and explore her own lineage through her new historical romance ‘Her Heart For a Compass’. Robert Kirkwood discovers some Crown jewels in the RNIB Library. Onjali Q Rauf takes us on a right royal adventure as ‘The Boy at the Back of the Class' struggles to keep a royal appointment. Hannah Tausz celebrates some of the great reads from across The Commonwealth among the 70 titles selected for The Big Jubilee Read. And we return to Sarah, Duchess of York, for the Books of Your Life.
