Summary

Key royals deployed to Cornwall last week as they joined world leaders at the G7 summit. The Queen, Charles, Camilla, William and Kate joined forces for some soft diplomacy, important issues and plenty of laughs which were the talk of the event. Pod Save the Queen host Ann Gripper is joined by Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers and deputy political editor Ben Glaze, who was in Cornwall for the summit. They discuss how the royals can wow the biggest names on the world stage, the fallout from US President Joe Biden’s candour after taking tea with the Queen at Windsor Castle, Kate’s lasting connection with Jill Biden - and why Prince Charles could follow Dr Biden’s example as First Lady. They also talk Trooping the Colour, Ascot, Sophie Wessex’s big interview and Ben provides insight into how the Queen’s Birthday Honours are awarded. Learn more about your ad choices.
