About this listen

The Princess of Wales described her cancer recovery as a “rollercoaster” during an emotional hospital visit—one that also saw the donation of dozens of roses named in her honour. But behind the serene garden scenes, new Sovereign Grant figures show the monarchy spent nearly £5 million on travel, including £475,000 on helicopter rides. Critics slam the royals’ carbon footprint and lavish perks while Buckingham Palace insists it’s all part of “soft power.” Meanwhile, Meghan gets snubbed at Wimbledon, James Holt likes a post from Meghan’s old nemesis, and the Royal Train’s days are officially numbered.
