New era, new name: Welcome to Pod Save The King, the award-winning Royal podcast from the Daily Mirror.
The Royal family is finding its way in a new era. Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III began his reign alongside Camilla, The Queen Consort. William and Kate became Prince and Princess of Wales. As the family changes, rifts remain with Harry and Meghan across the Atlantic and Prince Andrew is still in the aftermath of the Newsnight interview. There is joy too, as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis grow up both in and out of the public eye, and the Tindalls, Beatrice and Eugenie find their own ways.
Expect behind the scenes details, fashion, travel, causes, politics and society, plus interviews with people who can provide a particular insight into your favourite Royals, their work and their place in Britain today. “Lively discussions with a wide-ranging appeal. Refreshingly informal, totally unstuffy and a thoroughly modern take on all things royal. And it’s funny too.” - the Press Awards Judges, who named Pod Save The King Lifestyle Podcast of the Year.
Your regular companions are Host Ann Gripper and Royal Editor Russell Myers. You can join the conversation about the podcast on Instagram and Twitter for a chance to hear your comments on the show, and follow @MirrorRoyal or subscribe to our Royal Newsletter for all the latest.

Customer Reviews
Focus on real royal family
So much of the media focuses their royal reporting on the divide and drama between the working royal family and the ones who left their jobs to reside in CA. If you prefer information on what the working royals have recently done and have upcoming this is the podcast for you.
This podcast doesn’t ignore the two who resigned their jobs working for the monarchy. Rather, when relevant to the working royal family, the UK government, the media and UK citizens they succinctly discuss the effects of the Sussex’s actions and communications. The hosts include the positive and negative of what the Sussex’s are currently doing, how their past criticisms and actions influence the groups previously mentioned and their efforts to shape the narrative they are putting forward to market themselves and achieve their financial goals. The hosts clearly differentiate between fact and personal opinions. They are genuine, humorous and not afraid to share personal anecdotes and be self deprecating making the podcast credible, relatable and thoroughly enjoyable.
Great show
Love listening to his reporting and commentary!
Wish it were weekly!
Harry and Meghan
Ann, you are defending their selfish actions a bit too much. Everything they have done has been self serving. My guess is they will be rich celebrities and focus solely on building their treasure chest. You really should be more objective.
