This week on Catching Up with the Royals Richard and Emily take a deep dive into King Charles III’s reign, the major decision facing Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, the secrets behind royal fashion wardrobes and the fascinating world of royal security and protection.

It has been more than three years since King Charles III became monarch, but how successful has his time on the throne been so far? Richard and Emily begin the episode by giving the King a royal report card, assessing his achievements, challenges and whether his first years on the throne have been a true crowning glory.

With the summer holidays fast approaching the Prince and Princess of Wales have a big decision to make - where to send their eldest, Prince George, to school. After the couple have been spotted touring many different secondary schools, Richard and Emily weigh in on where they think the future heir to the throne will be enrolling this coming September, plus we look into how educating royals has changed over time.

This week’s viewer questions focus on one of the most popular topics among royal fans: Catherine’s iconic style. Drawing on years of firsthand experience with the Princess of Wales, Emily reveals how Catherine’s outfits are selected, curated, and carefully stored, along with the lesser-known royal fashion rules and dress protocols that every member of the Royal Family is expected to follow.

Our final viewer question asks about how exactly royal security and protection is funded, and how do the family decide which members get to receive it. In the wake of Prince Andrew’s arrest and Prince Harry’s stepping down as a working royal we explain how security is allocated, explore the moments when it has been taken away and Richard and Emily find themselves divided on who should receive royal levels of protection.
