When Caroline Baum interviewed Fleet Street veteran royal correspondent Robert Jobson about his new, very favourable biography of Katherine, Princess of Wales, the conversation did not go as planned.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Royal expert Duncan Larcombe suggests the Royals will be happy to leave 2024 behind. "It's been a lousy year for them. Health issues have dominated the news agenda and hundreds of royal engagements have been cancelled," "They weren't the only royals blighted by ill health, either. The Duchess of York revealed she was receiving treatment for skin cancer, so soon after beating breast cancer.""This time last year, the King would have been horrified if he knew what lay ahead. It's a year he'll want to consign to the history books and move on from. Christmas will be an opportunity for the royals to rally together. They don't meet up very often as a family in private. Gathering at Sandringham means they can shut out the rest of the world, focus on what's important and look ahead to new beginnings." Royal author Robert Jobson concurs, noting that health scares within the family have tightened their bond and highlighted their vulnerability: "The cancer issues have brought the royals closer together and made them realise their own mortality – that life is fragile no matter who you are."Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

When Kate returns, she may do some solo trips - which would be fodder for divorce rumors if Meghan did it, but since it's Kate its obviously a  wonderful idea that should be admired and we should all praise the couple for their independence.According to royal author Robert Jobson, Kate is planning an overseas tour with Prince William.  Jobson told Hello magazine, "Catherine may well do a couple of solo things so that William can stay at home with the kids,” “The King is bound to have had a conversation with Catherine about how buoyed he felt by his recent overseas tour, but she will do things her own way.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

ITV's Chris Ship says Charles isn't the one in charge at Buckingham Palace.  Shop tells Talking Royals, "Someone very close to the King and Queen said to me recently it is her who says no, she is the one, when the courtiers come in, he will insist ‘Of course I can do that, I am a workaholic'."She will say ‘No, he is not doing that, stop there'. So this (Australia0 trip is interesting for how they scheduled it around this having treatment."Royal biographer Robert Jobson adds: “Queen Camilla had initially been against disclosing his condition, but the King overruled her as he felt it was a chance to take a lead and in doing so to encourage men experiencing similar symptoms to seek timely medical attention.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Prince Harry reportedly chose not to be in the same room as Queen Camilla during his visit to King Charles following the announcement of the King's cancer diagnosis. According to journalist Petronella Wyatt, a friend of Camilla's, "Harry, I hear, preferred not to be in the same room with his stepmother when he spoke to theKing about his cancer diagnosis." Camilla's friend Fiona Shelburne, Lady Lansdowne, mentioned that Harry's allegations have caused Camilla pain, stating, "Of course it bothers her, of course it hurts. But she doesn't let it get to her. Her philosophy is always, 'Don't make a thing of it and it will settle down – least said, soonest mended'."Royal expert Robert Jobson suggested that the brevity of Harry's visit was influenced by the King's health condition. He remarked, "You don't want his blood pressure going up. The King's not very well, whatever type of cancer it is, he's undergoing treatment. The best thing for him is to remain calm. After the initial kiss and hug, love you dad, hope you get better soon, what issues are going to get raised? Things that will get your blood pressure rising."(new story)Meghan has issued a statement in response to criticism over the controversial new Sussex website. It reads:"There is a reason I have worked with Ryan and the talented team at Article for a decade: their attention to detail, their creativity and care, and the thoughtful approach to design as well as to the user experience,” the duchess said in a statement on the Article website."They're not just designers; they are collaborators who elevate your ideas into visual identities. They're a very special company. Plus they're Canadian, so I'm a fan.”'The Mail quoted a source as saying : 'They are going to have real trouble with the use of Sussex. It is a royal title and if there is any hint of commercialism about this it will be shut down. It's just staggering they cannot see how gauche it is.'

Not long after our previous episode aired, we sadly learned the news that King Charles had been diagnosed with cancer. In a special update, Emmy and Emily are joined by royal author, journalist and broadcaster Robert Jobson, as they discuss what this latest diagnosis means for the British royal family as they navigate the news. We discuss Prince Harry's return to the UK, whether there is a prospect of a regency and how Prince William could take on the mantle of further royal responsibilities.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 6:00 I've been watching Encounters on Netflix! Chandra is watching a friend's cat and it's being naughty. Royals: Minutes (6:00) to 19:45 The British press is making excuses for why Kate can't go to Singapore for the Earthshot Awards. They're saying that she's a reluctant traveler, that she is focused on her kids and has to stay back because that's the week George has some kind of qualifying test for school. Kate made sure to mention this at an event. We think this is just an excuse. Robert Jobson reported in the Daily Express that Kate will increasingly “step out solo” and that William is “spreading his wings.” The press still writes about them like they've just graduated college. Will and Kate did a couple of events together recently. They met with Apple CEO Tim Cook at Kensington Palace where they likely got free iPhones. They also went to Cardiff to do multiple events for Black History Month where they looked especially awkward. We got stories afterward about how hunky William is. Kate visited a community center without bringing anything. I play a segment from Zoom where we talk about Kate's style. Zakia mentions that Kate may have lost some sensation in her face due to injections and be exaggerating her expressions for that reason. This makes sense because celebrity women have said that they weren't able to smile after bad Botox. Ashley says how disrespectful it is that Kate repeated an outfit within a couple of days for an event with Black people. Sophie Turner and Taylor Swift Minutes (19:45) to 28:30 Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are divorcing. We talked about that in episode 157. Joe tried to push the narrative that Sophie is partying, which was a crap PR move but more than that he didn't need that because the children have US residency. A lot of people don't understand international child custody rules, which is that the children stay where they are "habitual residents." The latest news is that they're going to mediation to determine custody. I play a segment from Zoom where we talk about that. We think Sophie is getting bad advice after some of her recent public moves. Taylor Swift is dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. She's been attending to his football games and Swifties and the NFL are going crazy. She went to a game with his mom in Kansas City on September 24 and on Sunday October 1 she went to a game in New Jersey with Sophie, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Comments of the Week: Minutes (28:30) to end Chandra's comment of the week is from Kreama on the post about Prince William being a royal hunk. My comments of the week are from Steph and Susan Collins on the post about Commander Biden being sent away. Thanks for listening bitches!

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 7:00 We will have an episode out next week and are off May 14th. I finished the first season of Yellowstone and really liked it. Chandra is watching Gaslit and loves Betty Gilpin and Dan Stevens's performances. Chandra really liked The Batman and thinks Robert Pattinson was excellent. Royals: Minutes 7:00 to 32:00 There are two new royal books for which we are getting advanced details and interviews with the authors. The main one is Tina Brown's The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor–the Truth and the Turmoil, which came out this week on April 26th. Brown has sources in the palace as well as in the Middleton camp. Brown's book takes Harry and Meghan's strengths, like their shared vision of helping people and Meghan's skill at public speaking, and makes them sound like they're bad and a nefarious plot. Meghan is called “actressy” and characterized as swag-hungry. Chandra has been reading and reporting on the book. In the book, Brown is bitchy to everyone but in interviews she's very complimentary to Kate. Her talking points are much different than what she's been writing. In an interview Brown called Harry “unbelievably arrogant” for saying he was concerned about his grandmother. She is racist against Meghan and is downplaying the very real racism Meghan has faced, comparing it to the classism against Kate. In an interview with Marie Claire Brown trashed Meghan. She said that “Meghan got angry so fast, and that's what's rocked the family.” This is the angry Black woman stereotype. Brown has not acknowledged the fact that Meghan said in the Oprah interview that she was suicidal while she was pregnant and being smeared by the press. She does not take Harry and Meghan at their word. In the book Brown said Harry liked Meghan because she didn't come from his “narrow circle” and she “was of a breed he had not encountered.” That's so racist. Chandra mentions that Brown uses the word “ghetto” in the book when describing Meghan's career on TV cable. Brown also wrote that Kate was jealous of Meghan's style and that she was jealous of her sister, Pippa. In another part of the book, Brown wrote about how Carole coached Kate to land and keep William. Carole strategized with Kate about how to handle William when he was cheating on her. Another royal book is coming out on June 21, William at 40: The Making of a Modern Monarch, by Robert Jobson. The advance story we heard from that is about what a rage monster William is, which we already know. Harry's strength in being a calm, even-tempered person who has been to therapy is painted as a weakness by the press when William is the one flying off the handle. Chandra credits Robert Lacey's book Battle of Brothers for setting the narratives that these other royal biographies are following. I play a segment from Zoom where Karen and Zakia wonder about the press messaging. Chandra says that the Invictus Games was a turning point that showed how petty and negative the British press is. The Wessexes did their Caribbean tour, where they're getting much the same reception as the Cambridges did on their struggle tour just with less publicity. Sophie and Edward tried to do it low key, but they still got told that several Caribbean countries want reparations and intend to become republics. When the Queen passes, the commonwealth will be all but over. Prince Charles and Camilla are doing a three day tour of Canada from May 17th to May 19th. Chandra wonders why he's going for such a short time and thinks it's because he doesn't trust his relatives around the Queen. I play a segment from Zoom where we talked about the royal tour and the commonwealth countries. Kate did an outing in London with Princess Anne on Thursday where they visited their maternal health patronages. There are about three photos where Anne and other people are side-eyeing Kate. I asked Chandra if she had larger versions of those photos from our agency and curiously those unflattering photos were the only ones out of the set which were lower resolution. Comments of the Week: Minutes 32:00 to end My comment of the week is from notasugarhere on the post about Donald Trump telling Piers Morgan that Prince Harry is whipped. Chandra's comment of the week is from ThatsNotOkay on the post about Olivia Wilde getting served with custody papers at CinemaCon. Thanks for listening bitches!

The Evening Standard's royal editor, Robert Jobson, tells us what's been happening at Buckingham Palace and in LA as Harry and Meghan threaten legal action over a story about their daughter's name. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are hitting back at claims they had not asked the Queen before naming their daughter Lilibet in her honour.A fresh war of words between the couple and the BBC broke out after the corporation quoted a senior Buckingham Palace source saying the monarch was “never asked” about its use.A spokeswoman for Harry and Meghan, now based in California, said: “The Duke spoke with his family in advance of the announcement, in fact his grandmother was the first family member he called.“During that conversation, he shared their hope of naming their daughter Lilibet in her honour. Had she not been supportive, they would not have used the name.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Piers Morgan called the interview, "Sickening. Shameful. Self-pitying. Salacious. Scandalous. Sanctimonious. Spectacularly self-serving."Robert Jobson said, “If she’d wanted to (be close to Kate), she wouldn’t have done this interview." ITV's Chris Ship: "Uncomfortable does not begin to describe how they must be feeling in Buckingham Palace right now."Oh, and the Queen's new Corgi is/was named Charles.

The hunt has intensified for an unknown carrier of a new Brazilian mutation of Covid-19 as scientists warned that if it takes hold it could undermine the roadmap out of lockdown. It was revealed on Sunday that six cases of the new Manaus variant of coronavirus, which is more contagious and may be more resistant to vaccines, have been found in Britain, three in England and three in Scotland. Our political reporter Sophia Sleigh says questions are being raised over how the variant from the Brazilian city was identified in a Covid-19 test of someone who did not fill in a registration form with their name and details. Also, royal editor Robert Jobson joins the podcast as it's revealed the Duke of Edinburgh has transferred hospitals for treatment for an infection. It's now the longest spell the 99 year old has spent in hospital and it comes as controversy brews around an interview Prince Harry and Meghan have given to Oprah Winfrey that's due to air in the States on Sunday.

Our political editor Joe Murphy on the Brexit negotiations: what's real and what's just "theatre" at the roundtable in Brussels. He also discusses what's going on outside the room, with France and Germany bearing down on the talks. And he tells us why he believes it'll be Boris Johnson who will make the compromises needed to get a deal done. Also, people getting the first covid-19 vaccinations will also receive a card confirming they've had it. That's led to claims of a covert passport operation beginning, where those who have had the jab will get preferential treatment over others. But the Evening Standard's Nicholas Cecil says the cards are just reminders to make another appointment, and any kind of passport system would be impractical to put in place anyway. And, what's it really like on the royal train? The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are getting to use it for the very first time as they begin a whistlestop tour of the country. Royal editor Robert Jobson says the inside is a lot more "practical" than you might think, but he suspects there's a subtle significance to William and Kate being given permission to use the carriages normally reserved for the Queen and Prince of Wales.

The first analysis of the 2015 TV leadership debates, carried out by the University of Leeds and funded by ITV, has been published. It claims to find that TV debates helped people engage with the campaigns, with almost half of people who claimed they were 'not interested' still tuning in. A further 30 per cent of the viewers to the first ITV debate said they had become more interested in the campaign after watching it. Steve Hewlett talks to report author Professor Stephen Coleman, and to Jenni Russell, columnist for the Times, Sunday Times and Evening Standard. Prince Charles has been accused of "North Korea-style" censorship to control TV interviews, after Channel 4 pulled out of a pre-arranged interview with him as it would not agree to conditions stipulated by Clarence House. The contract included clauses like allowing the Prince's contribution to be removed entirely from the final product. Joining Steve Hewlett to discuss the challenges of securing royal interviews is the Evening Standard's royal editor Robert Jobson, royal biographer Catherine Mayer, and Stewart Purvis who made a three part documentary about the royals for ITN. US presidential candidate Donald Trump has claimed he's been named, the 'Ernest Hemmingway of 140 characters', in reference to his activity on Twitter. Choosing to reject traditional advertising to raise his profile, he has instead harnessed the internet, using social media as a platform for his often controversial views, which are then shared immediately, without verification or challenge, to his 5 million+ followers. ." Steve talks to Emily Bell, Director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism in New York, about Trump's social media strategy. Producer: Katy Takatsuki.

Buckingham palace has appealed to the world's media not to publish unauthorised images of Prince George. It says some paparazzi have gone to, "extreme lengths" to take pictures and, "a line has been crossed". The palace said a small number of media organisations, mostly in Germany, France, Australia, New Zealand and the US, had published photos of Prince George in "unacceptable circumstances". However it said the "vast majority", and all UK publications, had refused. Are the Palace trying to re-draw the lines of what is acceptable intrusion? Steve Hewlett hears from Robert Jobson, Evening Standard Royal Editor, and Ken Wharfe, former Scotland Yard Protection Officer to Diana, the Princess of Wales and Prince William.Sir Tom Jones has criticised the BBC after being told he would not be returning to The Voice. After four series as coach on the talent show, it's been announced he will be replaced by Boy George. Sir Tom took to Facebook to criticise BBC executives about their, "sub-standard behaviour", in the way he was told, with "no consultation or conversation of any kind". The incident has raised questions about the way media organisations, like the BBC, handle top talent. Steve discusses with two leading agents; Sue Ayton from Knight Ayton Management and Jon Thoday Joint Founder and MD of Avalon.Archant, the fifth largest regional newspaper publisher in the UK, with titles in East Anglia, London, Kent and the South West, has reported its first revenue and profit growth in eight years. Steve Hewlett asks CEO Jeff Henry what they're doing to grow, when similar publishers are declining. Producer: Katy Takatsuki.

Former BBC director general Mark Thompson apologised to MPs this week for the failure of the £100m Digital Media Initiative. The project, that was meant to allow BBC staff to create, share and store content in a new digital system, was suspended in 2012. The DMI project is one of a series of controversies at the BBC that has prompted parliamentarians to grill former and current bosses. Steve Hewlett talks to the chair of the Commons Public Accounts Committee Margaret Hodge on why she hopes this is the last saga she'll have to investigate at the BBC.Long lens photographs of the Duchess of Cambridge getting off a plane en route to Mustique with Prince George have appeared on the cover of Hello! magazine. Some say the publication of the photos appears to be at odds with past objections to "private" photographs of members of the royal family taken in public places. So, under what circumstances can pictures of the Royals be published? Steve Hewlett discusses the issue with Max Cisotti, who runs the agency which sold the pictures to Hello!, royal correspondent Robert Jobson, and former palace press secretary Dickie Arbiter.Communications watchdog Ofcom should have the final say on issues of media ownership rather than the culture secretary. The House of Lords Communications Committee says the watchdog should also carry out regular reviews of the media landscape that would "set the context" for any future decisions. Lord Inglewood, the chair of the committee, joins Steve Hewlett to discuss the findings.And as protests in take place in Nairobi in support of detained Al-Jazeera correspondent Peter Greste, we speak to the broadcaster's head of newsgathering about the dangers now facing journalists in Egypt.Producer: Katy Takatsuki.
