    All the moments you might have missed from the King's state visit with Donald Trump

    Did the King perform a diplomatic masterclass or could it come back to bite him? This week, Chris and Lizzie join Charlene from Washington DC where they have been covering King Charles's state visit to America, to mark 250 years of US independence. The royal team travelled straight from Ukraine, where they had been exclusively filming with Prince Harry. After landing in Washington DC, they have covered Charles and Camilla's arrival, the White House reception, the state dinner and the King's iconic speech to Congress. So did Charles overstep the mark with his references to Ukraine, the Magna Carta, the Middle East war and NATO? Or did he successfully navigate one of the biggest challenges of his reign so far and single-handedly save the UK-US 'special relationship'? Plus, the team recount travelling to New York, where the royals took part in a moment of reflection almost 25 years since the 9/11 terror attacks. And in a touching moment, Chris and Lizzie explain why they feel so grateful to have witnessed these historic events.

    What was it like behind the scenes on Prince Harry’s secret trip of Ukraine?

    Royal Editor Chris Ship and Royal Expert Lizzie Robinson are the only two broadcast journalists that were allowed into Ukraine to cover Prince Harry's secret trip. They reveal all about how they entered a warzone with a royal, what would happen in the event of an attack and why they had to keep it all a secret. On his visit to Ukraine Harry followed the footsteps of his mother and her work with the Halo Trust. Harry visited an active minefield in Bucha mirroring the work of Diana in Angola in 1997. Harry was also very outspoken on his trip calling for “American leadership” in the conflict in what some have called a veiled attack on President Trump. He also called directly on Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war. Speaking in an exclusive interview to Chris Harry said “he will always be part of the royal family” - six years after he left the UK with his wife Meghan.

    King Charles' special tribute to his late mother

    On what would have been Queen Elizabeth II's 100th birthday, Talking Royals brings you this special episode as King Charles releases a tribute to his late mother. In a video statement, the King said that "much about the times we now live in I suspect may have troubled her deeply, but I take heart from her belief that goodness will always prevail." Chris and Lizzie join Charlene to discuss Charles' touching tribute to his "darling Mama" - and his fairly pointed remark about the things he thinks may have "troubled" her today.

  6. Is the criticism of Harry and Meghan's Australia tour unfair?

    Is the criticism of Harry and Meghan's Australia tour unfair?

    Was Harry and Meghan's trip to Australia really "a cash-grabbing, money-making exercise"? This week, the Talking Politics team discuss whether the Sussexes tour Down Under felt uncomfortable, due to the combination of charitable and commercial opportunities. Harry and Meghan kicked off the visit by dropping into a hospital in Melbourne, where they met sick children, their families and medical staff. Meghan then served up a meal in the kitchen of a women's shelter, while Prince Harry honoured fallen veterans. In a surprise move, the Duchess also appeared on Australian Masterchef as a guest judge. But, the couple have come under scrutiny in the local media for using Australia as "an ATM". Notably, the Duchess of Sussex appeared at a female-only wellness retreat in Sydney, where tickets started at A$2,699 (£1,430) per person. So if other non-working royals like Zara and Mike Tindall can exploit commercial opportunities, shouldn't the Sussexes be able to use the same model? And why does Meghan get criticised for wearing expensive clothes, while Kate is praised for the doing the same?

    How did the late Queen really feel about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor?

    The Talking Royals team are back! This week, Charlene, Chris and Lizzie discuss Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's absence from the recent Easter Service. Plus, in this week's episode we're joined by esteemed royal biographer Hugo Vickers, who has written a book to mark the 100th anniversary of the late Queen’s birth. He recalls Queen Elizabeth’s distress and concern about the future of her son, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, after he was linked to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. And...Are criticisms of the Sussexes fair? Charlene and Hugo debate whether it’s fair to say that Prince Harry and Meghan neglected their duty when they left the royal family. At the time, the couple said they intended to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen." In a statement, the Duchess of Sussex said she was "saddened" by reports that she was rude to staff at Kensington Palace and described it as "attack on her character." And Hugo reveals why the Queen refused to take calls from her grandson, Prince Harry, without anyone else present in the room. And, as hundreds of items from the late Queen’s wardrobe go on display in Buckingham Palace, Lizzie explains why Elizabeth’s stunning wedding dress might never be seen in public again. And which royal couple will be having a Summer wedding in June?

    Could Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie lose their titles after Andrew's arrest?

    Have Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie been quietly sidelined by the King? Could they be stripped of their royal titles? And where is Fergie? Join our royal experts for their weekly conversation covering all the significant royal topics of the week. Chris, Lizzie and Lucrezia discuss how the two sisters' reputation has been affected by the arrest of their father, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Beatrice was last seen publicly with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, at Sandringham for the Christmas Day service, alongside her sister Princess Eugenie and husband Jack Brooksbank. Chris reveals the mood in the palace since Princess Beatrice and Eugenie's names were included in the latest release of the Epstein files. Plus, are the royal sisters still talking to their mother, Sarah Ferguson? And where could she be hiding? The former Duchess of York has not been seen in months, despite constant press speculation about her whereabouts. Being named in the Epstein files does not automatically imply wrongdoing or criminal activity. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson have previously denied all wrongdoing. Don't forget, if you want to have a look at all the fantastic archive footage we use, head to the Talking Royals Youtube channel to watch.
