This week, we are unpacking one of the most emotional and whirlwind weeks in recent royal history. Joined by royal correspondent Simon Vigar, we dive deep into Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s incredibly private visit to Highgrove.
With Archie and Lilibet back on UK soil for the first time in years, did this quiet family reunion finally soften hearts – or are the deep-seated rifts with Prince William still too wide to bridge?
We also react to Harry's surprisingly candid podcast appearance, where he reminded us all of the cheeky, fun-loving prince we’ve sorely missed. Plus, we take a look at the Princess of Wales’s radiant appearance at Wimbledon, Prince George’s upcoming boarding school milestone, and the King's relentless work ethic amidst political upheaval.

For centuries, royal women have been judged, scrutinised and often misunderstood.
In this fascinating conversation, author and journalist Catherine Mayer explores the surprising parallels between Anne Boleyn, Princess Diana, Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle and Queen Camilla.
From Tudor propaganda to modern social media culture wars, we examine how public narratives are created, why certain women become symbols of larger debates, and what history may have gotten wrong.
The discussion covers Diana's final years, Kate's carefully crafted public image, Meghan's experience entering "Planet Windsor," Camilla's remarkable transformation in public opinion, and the enduring power of royal storytelling.
Are we repeating the same patterns again and again?

Grab your teacups and wave your Union Jacks! In this week's special episode of A Right Royal Podcast, hosts Andrea Caamano and HELLO!’s Royal Editor Emily Nash are breaking down every single moment from King Charles III's spectacular 2026 Trooping the Colour.
This year was a masterclass in regal coordination, with the King and Queen Camilla making a truly striking entrance – perfectly matching in regal red as they arrived at Horse Guards Parade. The team dives into the gorgeous fashion of the day, including the Princess of Wales, who absolutely wowed onlookers in a sculpted, breathtaking blue dress that nodded to the late Princess Diana.
Of course, it wouldn't be a royal birthday without the younger generation stealing our hearts. We look closely at Kate’s masterclass in "quiet parenting" as she kept Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis perfectly on track throughout the long, historic day. Plus, the team breaks down the debut of the Grenadier Guards' brand-new colours, which the King presented to them just days before the big parade.
