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
Great except for Russell
Russell is constantly talking over and interrupting the female hosts and I’m so tired of his negativity toward H&M
Lack of preparedness…
Concerned about the lack of preparedness of the speakers. As Americans, this is a lost opportunity to learn the facts about the finances for example.
I also find it odd that the very mission of this podcast is discuss the royals engagements but the hosts seem very anti-monarch.
Sound quality
As othes mentioned, the sound quality is really difficult to listen to and it’s a shame. I’ve gotten this point where I think I’m gonna stop listening if you can’t do something about this. How hard could it be?
