Welcome back to another episode of Pod Save the King!
It's a jam-packed week of royal news, and your hosts Russell Myers (Royal Editor, The Daily Mirror) and Jennifer Newton (Deputy Royal Editor) are here to break it all down. From a brand-new addition to the Royal Family to a potential olive branch, there is plenty to discuss.
In this episode, we cover:
A New Royal Baby: Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank have welcomed a baby girl in Lisbon. We discuss her place as 15th in line to the throne and predict if she'll share a popular royal middle name.
The Sussexes in Portugal: Harry and Meghan have secured a new spot at the exclusive Costa Terra Golf and Ocean Club in Melides. We debate the privacy implications and celebrate Meghan's 45th birthday.
Harry's Legal Battles: With a highly anticipated judgment expected in his case against the Daily Mail—and a staggering £34 million spent on legal fees—could this be the Duke of Sussex's final crusade against the British press?
An Invictus Olive Branch?: With the Invictus Games heading to Birmingham next year, we explore whether Prince Harry can convince King Charles to attend in a major show of public reconciliation.
Summer with the Royals: Catching up with King Charles at the Castle of Mey, plus Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis making a splash at recent major sporting events

Welcome back to a brand-new episode of Pod Save the King! The royals might be off on their summer holidays, but the news cycle certainly hasn't stopped.
This week, Mirror Deputy Royal Editor Jennifer Newton and Royal Reporter Charlotte Foster hold down the fort (while Russell is away!) to break down all the latest drama, fashion, and palace intrigue.
Here is what we are diving into this week:
Meghan’s Reality TV Moment: We discuss Meghan’s guest judge appearance on the season 18 semi-final of MasterChef Australia. The episode featured a slightly cringe "surprise" 30-second FaceTime cameo from Prince Harry. Meghan also shared some family dining secrets.
A Major Palace Departure: Sir Clive Alderton, the King’s principal private secretary, is stepping down next May. We discuss his massive influence over the past 20 years, from guiding the King through the early days of his reign following the Queen's passing, to navigating recent challenges.

It has been a whirlwind week in Royal Land! In this episode, host Russell Myers is joined by royal reporter Charlotte Foster to unpack a massive week of developments.
We break down Harry, Meghan, and the children’s highly anticipated trip to the UK—including their low-profile stay at Althorp House and a surprise meeting at Highgrove with the King and Queen.
Why was Camilla there, and what does it mean for the future of royal reconciliations?
Plus, we look at the Duke’s surprisingly candid appearance on Joe Marler’s podcast. From self-deprecating jokes about his "sunset auburn" hair to listing his official occupation as "Prince of England," we discuss the lighter side of Harry that the public rarely gets to see.
Finally, we analyse the post-World Cup statements from both King Charles and Prince William, exploring how their distinct writing styles reflect two very different royal generations.

Plus, we celebrate the Princess of Wales' inspiring return to the public eye as she completes the gruelling Three Peaks Challenge and shines at Wimbledon.
