- 37 minutes 22 secondsMeghan’s MasterChef Cameo, Harry’s Palace Invite & A Royal Shakeup
Welcome back to a brand-new episode of Pod Save the King! The royals might be off on their summer holidays, but the news cycle certainly hasn't stopped.

Here is what we are diving into this week:

25 July 2026, 12:36 pm - 35 minutes 55 secondsTwo very different generations of Royals
It has been a whirlwind week in Royal Land! In this episode, host Russell Myers is joined by royal reporter Charlotte Foster to unpack a massive week of developments.
We break down Harry, Meghan, and the children’s highly anticipated trip to the UK—including their low-profile stay at Althorp House and a surprise meeting at Highgrove with the King and Queen.
Why was Camilla there, and what does it mean for the future of royal reconciliations?
Plus, we look at the Duke’s surprisingly candid appearance on Joe Marler’s podcast. From self-deprecating jokes about his "sunset auburn" hair to listing his official occupation as "Prince of England," we discuss the lighter side of Harry that the public rarely gets to see.
Finally, we analyse the post-World Cup statements from both King Charles and Prince William, exploring how their distinct writing styles reflect two very different royal generations.
