Summary

On the next episode of "A Right Royal Podcast" Andrea, Emmy and Emily take a deep dive into royal holidays and in particular, their love of Balmoral, the royal family's favourite summer holiday destination in Scotland. Our lengthy chat with King Charles' former pilot, Graham Laurie, reveals incredible insight into royal flying, with Graham explaining Charles' reason for no longer piloting airplanes, why Prince William had to stop flying with his parents and brother Prince Harry aged 12, and what happened when he heard of Diana's tragic death. Plus, how Graham was in charge of bringing her coffin back to England. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
