POD Save the Queen!

Hello and welcome back to POD Save the Queen.

It is a sunny September.

This is very warm.

I am your host Anne Gripper and I'm delighted to be joined once again by Daily Mirror

Royal editor Russell Myers. Hello Russell nice to see you. Nice to see you.

How are you? I'm rightly thank you. It's been a funny old week in the Royal Land

so last week we were talking about, you know, various bits of scandal and drama and drama and then a whole load more rocked up suddenly and you know we've had a bit of a bit of Charles and what's going on with the people who get nice

Letters after their names an investigation I think Sunday times and then there's

Ongoing with Prince Andrew which will update on later and then the thing that

it's one of those big sort of unspoken things it's like what happens after the Queen dies and you know we

periodically talk about it a little bit. We don't really want to because we don't

really want to think about that day and what will happen because it will fundamentally be quite a big

upturning of things in the world. But it's really not the done thing to leak the plans about what is going to happen when the Queen dies and that is exactly what happened on Friday.

So it was in the political newsletter in the morning, scoop of, you know, revealing all of the details and it's quite

funny because periodically the details do come out because there is some kind of a briefing

or there is some kind of thing that happens and basically

my theory is somebody says well well I've this is too good a story I'm just going to write it and they

do it anyway so I think that that has happened in the past because

periodically people do have to talk about what's going to happen when the Queen dies.

I mean, she's a lady of advanced years who I would imagine knows that this day will come to her one day and

I would imagine that she has made her own funeral plans and what she wants.
