But there have been big changes over the summer, with the Prince and Princess of Wales’s house move confirmed and a new phase for Meghan and Harry’s Netflix deal. Plus a very special moment as a WW2 veteran tore up the VJ Day script and left the King and Queen in tears. Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Mirror deputy royal editor Jennifer Newton to catch up on all the summer news, discuss William and Kate’s “forever home” Forest Lodge and what the move means for the future as well as the royals’ first outings of the new term.
