The Royals with Roya and Kate

A discerning look at royal life in the era of King Charles, presented by the royal editors of The Times and Sunday Times, Kate Mansey and Roya Nikkhah – two women with unmatched insight into the inner workings of the monarchy.

It’s a time of challenges and change for the royal family, but also one of great hope and warmth, and a sense of the possibilities of this new Carolean age. There are personal challenges for the royals, but new links are being forged with “kind words”, as King Charles has said, between the public and the Palace.

Join Roya and Kate every week for their reactions to the latest news on Charles and Camilla, William and Kate, Harry and Meghan and more.
