Summary
Christmas represents a high-profile time in the Royal calendar, as the world watches the family make their way to church on Christmas Day. Recent weeks however, have also given us plenty of unexpected events to discuss. The Queen bravely shares her story of an incident of assault. The King offers a (somewhat, but not very) controversial message, and James and Gareth express some sympathy for the Duchess of Sussex. We also caught up with Philippa Lacey from British History Tours, who is hosting the "Online History Festival" from 20-22 March. It will explore six defining moments from British history. You can buy tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/defini... Also, Gareth talks about "Heated Rivalry". A lot. But we edited most of it out.
