Trump Royale

Trump’s coming to town — welcome to the towers of Windsor Castle. Hope you like ghosts!Royal biographer Robert Hardman and Prof. Kate Williams whisk us through the protocols of a state visit, Windsor-style: Air Force One → helicopter → the quadrangle, where (yes) the guest correctly walks in front of the monarch for the Guard of Honour. We peek into that turret guest suite with the Long Walk view, the St George’s Hall mega-table laid to the centimetre, and the post-1992 kitchens that keep 130 plates piping hot.We’ve the gossip: the day the Secret Service gave way and allowed Prince Philip to drive Barack Obama. Kate pits today’s three courses against Tudor 20-dish feasts (whale and dolphin, anyone?), and Robert explains why Windsor beats Buckingham Palace for security — and for dodging protests. We even invent a house cocktail: blood-red, jewel-bright, mildly dastardly.Queens, Kings & Dastardly Things now drops every Monday — Royal etiquette decoded, history demystified, and just enough hauntings to keep you peeking over your shoulder.Hosts: Robert Hardman and Professor Kate WilliamsSeries Producer: Ben DevlinProduction Manager: Vittoria Cecchini Executive Producer: Bella SoamesHosts: Robert Hardman and Professor Kate WilliamsSeries Producer: Ben DevlinProduction Manager: Vittoria Cecchini Executive Producer: Bella SoamesA Daily Mail production.
