Ingrid Seward, author of the new book Catherine & Diana, joins A Right Royal Podcast for a special live recording at Quaglino's in London. Ingrid, who knew Diana personally, reveals how Catherine became Prince William's sounding board long before they were a couple, why she has chosen to "give enough, but not too much" of herself in public, and how her cancer diagnosis brought the Wales family even closer. We also discuss Carole Middleton's quiet but powerful role behind the scenes, the pressure of inheriting a title so closely tied to Diana, and whether the two Princesses of Wales would have got on.

Hello! had exclusive access to two major royal moments this week — and we're bringing you both. Our editor Jess sat down with Prince Harry for his first UK interview since moving back home, at the inaugural Invictus Spirit of the Nation Awards. He talks the £1.7 million raised on the night, bringing the Invictus Games to Birmingham next summer, and what it really means to call the UK "home" again — all while a certain family book row was making headlines just an hour before he arrived. Then we go behind the scenes in Zambia, where our senior editor Jack Malvern has been shadowing the Duchess of Edinburgh on her week-long tour. From a hippo outside her tent to a president's back garden full of zebras, he shares the stories you won't have seen anywhere else — plus the causes closest to Sophie's heart, from sight-loss treatment to all-female ranger units protecting wildlife. Join us live next week with author Ingrid Seward ahead of her new book, Catherine and Diana — link in the description, tickets going fast. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hello-presents-the-real-princess-kate-and-princess-diana-uncovered-tickets-1994786005641?aff=oddtdtcreator Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on A Right Royal Podcast, Buckingham Palace draws a very clear line under Harry and Meghan's status — and Emily breaks down exactly why the King chose to say it publicly, what it means for their security review, and why William's loyalty might be at the heart of the timing. Plus: Donald Trump posts a bizarre, misleadingly edited video of King Charles on Truth Social, so we unpack what actually happened at that Bristol Asda warehouse, and why the President's version doesn't match reality. Uganda pulls out of the Invictus Games amid growing diplomatic tension, and there's a fresh (if firmly denied) rumour linking Meghan Markle to The Gentlemen Season 3. Closer to home, Prince George begins life at Eton and the contrast with William's own first day, 30 years apart, says a lot about how much has changed. We also look at Prince William's packed week: representing the King at King Harald V's state funeral in Norway, and launching a major new suicide-prevention initiative in sport, "On Your Side," backed by Harry Kane, George Russell and Alan Shearer.
