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.

The Royals at Royal Ascot
Royal Ascot plays host to the 'The Roya and Kate Show'. This week, the podcast comes to you live from the edge of the Parade Ring as the Royal Parade ends and the racing begins. Joining Roya and Kate is Donal McCabe, formerly the Communications Secretary for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and Jamie Osborne who was reportedly the late Queen Mother's favourite jockey and now trainer, with horses running throughout the festival.

Bonus: Kate at the King’s Birthday Parade
The King and Queen are at Ascot, and so are Roya and Kate for this bonus edition of 'The Royals' where they talk through the warmth of the reaction to Kate's appearance at last weekend's Trooping the Colour - and just how did Roya know she might be there?

Trooping the Colour
Why being at Trooping of the Colour is so important to the Royal Family, and Kate and Roya discuss the possibilities of public appearances by the Princess of Wales. And why Kate was photographed with (football) royalty and Roya was suspiciously close to an attempt to deface a portrait of the King.

The King and the Emperor
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.

Bonus: The Palace and Politics
The snap election caught many by surprise - even the Palace? The month ahead was supposed to be a hugely busy time for the Royals with both ceremonial and state occasions. So what happens now? In this bonus episode, Roya and Kate are joined by royal biographer Hugo Vickers to explore how politics will impact protocol at the Palace, as King Charles faces the first general election of his reign.

Customer Reviews
Great Podcast for Royal Newbies
This podcast is a breath of fresh air, I met one of the host Roya at my job today and she was so passionate in explaining what the podcast is about and how she aims to elevate the podcast in the future. Insightful conversations for someone who was not into royal affairs but this podcast is one of the best podcasts I have recently come across. Can’t wait for future episodes!!!!!!!
Boring
Sorry but this really is quite dull. The two clearly don’t get on - they are rivals. It’s just all a bit flat.
Good idea, feels try hard
The hosts are chatty and engaging. But from specialist correspondents (perhaps even editors?) I expected more depth and insight. It feels like basically a bit of gossipy banter, interspersed with really annoying marchy triumphalist musak. There is no structure, focus or substance - it just feels like chatting between a couple of colleagues who happen to have royal connections.
