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.
