Summary

Trooping the Colour is always a highlight in the royal calendar - but it was a real red letter day this year as the Princess of Wales made her first official appearance since Christmas. Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Mirror royal editor Russell Myers to discuss Kate’s return and the very personal statement released on the eve of the event. They also reflect on how Trooping went for the rest of the family, particularly as the King continues his own cancer treatment, and enjoy Royal Ascot and Garter Day. Learn more about your ad choices.
