POD Save the Queen!

Hello and welcome back to POD Save the Queen.

I am your host Ann Gripper.

I am sad because football did not come home sadly for the England team after a penalty disaster the other night.

We won't be talking too much about that.

Actually we will because it's actually a great place to start into our discussion today as we look at the Royal Family's

relationship with Wales and with Scotland and I've invited on two fabulous

colleagues today. Bev Lyons, the Shb is Queen of Scotland from the Daily Records.

Bev lovely to see you again.

Thanks for back in the show.

Thank you. Thank you.

Oh, hang on, there's only one person who does a Queen impression here and that is me usually, but no, it's fine, you're allowed to do your Queen impression.

And in the Welsh corner, we have Kathy Owen, who was a long time reporter for Wales online, originally from

Balimina in Northern Ireland, but very much Welsh at home and representing the things in the

the principality in terms of the show today.

And Kathy, lovely to have you with us.

Thank you very much for inviting me, thank you.

And I'm sure the both of you, I mean,

I'm sure you're both cheering on England to success the other night in the football or not so much because ultimately you know so I'm married I'm married to Welshman as I have mentioned previously on the show and I'm very aware that

England oftentimes likes to cheer on the Welsh and the Scotland when they're playing elsewhere

and that feeling isn't necessarily always reciprocated

across the other side of the border. Is that a fair assessment of things?
