## Resource

Charlotte Foster, royal reporter for the Daily Mirror, tells Jennifer Newton how two weeks of scandal for the former Duke of York is enough to fill a year of news. They discuss Prince Andrew and Fergie’s uncertain status at the Royal Lodge, and the distraction from work of other members of the Royal Family. Jennifer and Charlotte also look at the King’s “moving and emotional” visit to the Vatican with Queen Camilla, where they met Pope Leo XIV for the first time. Alongside the family dramas and historic visits, the Pod Save the King duo also discuss Harry and Megan’s “date night” at an LA Dodgers game, and the Duke of Sussex’s “cringe and awkward” appearance on comedian Hasan Minhaj’s podcast. They also preview William’s visit to Brazil for this year’s Earthshot Prize and World Leaders Summit at COP30 next week. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
