About this listen

Catching Up With the Royals is a weekly podcast about the British royal family, taking you beyond the pomp and pageantry to uncover what’s really happening behind the headlines of the House of Windsor.


Each week, reformed republican Reverend Richard Coles and royal expert Emily Andrews share their take on the latest royal news - from the moments everyone is talking about, to the stories quietly unfolding behind palace walls. Drawing on Emily’s years of experience travelling the world with the British monarchy, alongside Richard’s fascination with royal relationships and history, the podcast offers informed insight and behind-the-scenes perspectives you won’t hear anywhere else.


But it’s not just about the news. Catching Up With the Royals also dives deep into the defining moments of royal history - from legendary royal scandals that shocked the world to lesser-known royal traditions and protocols. Richard and Emily explore how the past of the British royal family continues to shape the monarchy today.
