Ingrid Seward, author of the new book Catherine & Diana, joins A Right Royal Podcast for a special live recording at Quaglino's in London.

Prince Harry's Exclusive First Interview, Charles Spencer's Bombshell Book and Sophie In Zambia
Show notes
Hello! had exclusive access to two major royal moments this week — and we're bringing you both.
Our editor Jess sat down with Prince Harry for his first UK interview since moving back home, at the inaugural Invictus Spirit of the Nation Awards. He talks the £1.7 million raised on the night, bringing the Invictus Games to Birmingham next summer, and what it really means to call the UK "home" again — all while a certain family book row was making headlines just an hour before he arrived.
Then we go behind the scenes in Zambia, where our senior editor Jack Malvern has been shadowing the Duchess of Edinburgh on her week-long tour. From a hippo outside her tent to a president's back garden full of zebras, he shares the stories you won't have seen anywhere else — plus the causes closest to Sophie's heart, from sight-loss treatment to all-female ranger units protecting wildlife.
Join us live next week with author Ingrid Seward ahead of her new book, Catherine and Diana — link in the description, tickets going fast. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hello-presents-the-real-princess-kate-and-princess-diana-uncovered-tickets-1994786005641?aff=oddtdtcreator

The King's Clear Message To Harry & Meghan
Show notes
This week on A Right Royal Podcast, Buckingham Palace draws a very clear line under Harry and Meghan's status — and Emily breaks down exactly why the King chose to say it publicly, what it means for their security review, and why William's loyalty might be at the heart of the timing.
Plus: Donald Trump posts a bizarre, misleadingly edited video of King Charles on Truth Social, so we unpack what actually happened at that Bristol Asda warehouse, and why the President's version doesn't match reality. Uganda pulls out of the Invictus Games amid growing diplomatic tension, and there's a fresh (if firmly denied) rumour linking Meghan Markle to The Gentlemen Season 3.
Closer to home, Prince George begins life at Eton and the contrast with William's own first day, 30 years apart, says a lot about how much has changed. We also look at Prince William's packed week: representing the King at King Harald V's state funeral in Norway, and launching a major new suicide-prevention initiative in sport, "On Your Side," backed by Harry Kane, George Russell and Alan Shearer.
Join us on 23rd September for a live episode with royal author Ingrid Seward, discussing her new book Catherine and Diana — tickets available now.

What does Britain really think of the Royal Family and which royal events have transformed public opinion?
Show notes
In this episode, we look back at an extraordinary year for the royals, from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s dramatic fall and King Charles’s major US state visit to the Princess of Wales’s return to the international stage, Prince George’s next chapter at Eton and Prince Harry’s continuing battles over security and the British press.
Then we dive into years of YouGov polling to uncover what the numbers tell us about William, Harry, Kate, Charles, Camilla, Meghan and the wider Royal Family.
The findings are fascinating. Prince Harry was once Britain’s joint-most-popular royal... so when did public opinion change? Why has Prince William remained remarkably resilient? And why does Diana continue to have such a powerful effect on perceptions of her sons, King Charles and Queen Camilla decades after her death?
We also discuss Harry and Meghan’s standing in America, the public response to the King and Princess of Wales’s cancer diagnoses, and what could happen to royal popularity as the 30th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death approaches.
