This week on Catching Up with the Royals, we’re diving into the biggest Royal family news - from royal rifts and rumours to priceless relics hidden within The Royal Collection.

We begin with breaking Buckingham Palace news as a new figure enters King Charles’ inner circle. His latest private secretary, Theo Rycroft, is reportedly tasked with one major mission: helping repair the strained relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry. But could one man really ease the tensions between the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex, or is Royal reconciliation still out of reach?

Next, we turn to Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, as rumours circulate that she may be considering writing her own memoir following in Prince Harry’s footsteps. Should Meghan tell her side of the story, or stick to the Royal Family’s traditional “never complain, never explain” approach? We also explore the influential Hollywood circle around Meghan that includes Oprah Winfrey, Shonda Rhimes, Mellody Hobson and Nicole Avant, and how they could shape a potential publishing deal.

Meanwhile, Catherine, Princess of Wales, embarks on a Royal visit to Italy - her first overseas engagement since her cancer diagnosis. We discuss what this milestone means for Kate and how it could signal a new chapter in how she and Prince William approach their future roles as King and Queen. We also unpack the ongoing “Kate Effect” and how her influence now extends far beyond fashion.

Finally, we step inside The Royal Collection, one of the most valuable private collections in the world. From crown jewels and diamonds worth over £1 billion, to historical wine cellars, Leonardo da Vinci drawings, and royal wardrobes from generations past, Richard and Emily reveal some of the most extraordinary treasures owned by the British Royal Family.

King Charles, Queen Camilla, Princess Eugenie, Meghan Markle are all up for discussion in this week’s episode of Catching Up with the Royals.

Reverend Richard Coles and Royal Correspondent Emily Andrews take a deep dive into King Charles and Queen Camilla’s high-profile trip to the USA, asking whether their visit - including the much-talked-about meeting with Donald and Melania Trump - marks a turning point for the monarchy after a turbulent start to 2026. From Charles’ headline-making speeches to Queen Camilla’s quiet diplomatic influence, we unpack how the Royal Family is using soft power on the world stage and ask whether the trip show the King finally got his royal mojo back?

Plus, Princess Eugenie has announced she is pregnant with her third child - but what does Buckingham Palace’s public celebration of the news say about Eugenie and Princess Beatrice’s standing inside The Firm following the fallout from Prince Andrew’s arrest earlier this year?

We also discuss Meghan Markle’s cryptic Instagram message, in which the Duchess of Sussex suggested the hardest seven years of her life may finally be behind her. Richard and Emily compare Meghan’s public image with that of Princess Diana, asking whether Meghan can ever command the same global affection as the late Princess of Wales.

And to finish, we reveal an official Royal Family popularity ranking to see where King Charles, Prince William, Princess Catherine, Meghan Markle and the rest of the royals currently sit in the court of public opinion - before Richard and Emily share their own favourite members of the monarchy.

Richard and Emily are back with another episode full of royal news, gossip and secrets on Catching Up with the Royals for you this week.

This week we begin by uncovering the Royal Family’s so-called ‘secret weapons’ - the trusted figures behind the scenes who keep the monarchy running smoothly. Who are they? What exactly do they do? And as King Charles shapes a slimmed-down monarchy, could the royals need to look beyond its current working members after ‘losing’ Prince Harry and the ongoing fallout surrounding Prince Andrew?

Plus - as Prince William and Kate Middleton, the Prince and Princess of Wales, celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary Emily shares what it was really like attending the royal wedding at Westminster Abbey. From little-known details about the big day to what their marriage tells us about the future King and Queen, we ask whether William and Catherine’s relationship has truly stood the test of time.

And Kate Middleton was not the only one to marry into the House of Windsor back in 2011. In this episode we also explore how the Middleton family have transformed expectations of royal in-laws, examining their close friendships, loyalty and growing influence within the royal family - and whether Carole and Michael Middleton have quietly become some of the monarchy’s most valuable allies.

Finally, more than two months on from Prince Andrew’s arrest, we turn our attention to one royal whose views are rarely discussed: Queen Camilla. What is the truth behind Camilla’s reportedly strained relationship with her controversial brother-in-law, and what does she really think about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor behind palace doors?

Join Richard and Emily for all this and more on the latest episode of Catching Up with the Royals.

In this week’s episode of Catching Up with the Royals we cover all of the latest royal news - from Prince Harry and Meghan updates, Sarah Ferguson headlines and a special tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.

As the world marks what would have been Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday, Richard and Emily reflect on her extraordinary life, lasting legacy and their own memories of meeting Britain’s longest-reigning monarch. They also explore whether Queen Elizabeth II was the ultimate feminist icon and look back at the powerful royal women who shaped the House of Windsor.

Plus, there’s been a rare royal sighting recently - Sarah Ferguson has been pictured for the first time since the fallout of the Epstein files and her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest. But what does the future look like for the former Duchess, and should the Royal Family be doing more to support her?

And, of course, we’ll be talking about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s quasi-royal tour of Australia. Richard and Emily unpack the Sussex’s jam packed schedule (and no, we don’t mean As Ever jam…), the controversy surrounding the visit and ask the big question: was it a genuine charity mission or a money-making exercise?
