  • Summary


  • A discerning look at royal life in the era of King Charles, presented by Roya Nikkhah and Kate Mansey, the royal editors of The Times and Sunday Times – two women with unmatched insight into the inner workings of the monarchy.


    It’s a time of challenges and change for the royal family, but also one of great hope and warmth, with a sense of the possibilities of this new Carolean age. There are personal challenges for the royals, but new links are being forged with “kind words”, as King Charles has said, between the public and the Palace.


    Join Roya and Kate every week for their reactions to the latest news on Charles and Camilla, William and Kate, Harry and Meghan and more.

    In April, the King's invitation to their Majesties The Emperor and Empress of Japan to pay a State Visit to the UK was accepted and scheduled for late June, with the King and Queen hosting at Buckingham Palace. But after the Prime Minister's surprise decision to call a snap election within weeks, what now happens to the soft power of a State Visit and why do they actually matter? And a look ahead to one of the summer season highlights - Royal Ascot.

    We have a new monarchy - the King of the Compost and the Queen of the Bees as Charles and Camilla were re-named by the child gardeners at the ‘No Adults Allowed Garden’ at the Chelsea Flower Show. The visit comes as King Charles became the patron of the Royal Horticultural Society as his mother was for some seventy years. In a show recorded before the UK election announcement, Roya and Kate discuss flowers, weddings, garden parties and how the other members of the wider royal family might take up the slack in performing the more regular 'ribbon cutting' duties and how would these things be done without the royals?
