## Resource

As King Charles III prepares for a high-stakes visit to the United States, tensions behind the scenes are raising serious questions about diplomacy, media strategy, and the monarchy’s role on the global stage. Meanwhile, across the world, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are making headlines with their Australia tour mixing royal-style engagements with unexpected appearances, including a surprise turn on MasterChef. Then, in a fascinating conversation, Gyles Brandreth shares rare and deeply personal stories about the late Queen from her love of horses, dogs and even pigeons, to her hidden sense of humour, private shyness, deep Christian faith and extraordinary bond with Prince Philip. From the story of Emma the pony to the Queen waving at Concorde, this episode is filled with remarkable moments that reveal the woman behind the crown. Learn more about your ad choices.
