Summary

The royal family has led the nation’s commemorations 80 years on from VE Day - and Prince George stepped up in his biggest royal duty yet. Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers, who was at the Buckingham Palace tea party for veterans where Prince George marked the real start of his royal life, to reflect on how the nation remembered. They also dissect Prince Harry’s lengthy BBC interview after losing the appeal to have his UK security restored and catch up on a bumper week of royal news, from the shortlist for the memorial to the late Queen to the York sisters’ podcast appearance talking about their mum.

0:31.9	Pod Save the King! Hello and welcome back to Pod Save the King. I'm your host Anne Gripper and it's been an incredibly
0:39.8	busy week in Royal Land. I mean we've probably got enough material for about eight episodes just out of
0:45.1	one single week. So good luck to Mirror Royal Editor Russell Myers who's here with me once again
0:50.4	to bring you up to speed with all of it. But, I mean, we're recording remotely.
0:54.6	Russell looks like he's trapped in a cupboard somewhere, surrounded by shelves. Where are you in
0:58.2	your glamorous world of royal trick-trotting? I don't feel very glamorous. It looks like I'm in
1:02.3	a broom cupboard, isn't it, being held against my will? It's very dark in here. But I am,

1:46.2	It's like Brexit all over again. All over again and just as contentious. So anyway,
1:50.7	you're looking very dapper in your suit and tie. You've had a busy week. There's the parade on
1:55.8	Monday, the fly past, a lovely tea party. I mean, let's, let's, and you're fresh from Westminster Abbey today.
