Summary

The royal family have had their glad rags on again (and again) this week as Trooping the Colour, Garter Day and Royal Ascot provided plenty of opportunities for family get togethers.  And Prince William’s big interview announcing his mission to end homelessness demonstrated the Firm’s ambition to make sure there is a point as well as pomp.  Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers to discuss William’s plans and reflect on the grand royal occasions, as well as what the end of the Spotify deal means for the Sussexes.  And longtime listener Deb Stratas shares her experience of being at Saturday’s Trooping the Colour - and tips for Canadian listeners on how to get tickets to royal events.
