This week on Catching Up with the Royals we’re exploring the complex relationships shaping the modern British monarchy. From why Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, never publicly respond to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to the truth behind claims that Prince Andrew was the favourite child of Queen Elizabeth II.

We also break down the role of the ‘spare’ in the royal family, and consider the valuable life lessons Prince Harry could have learnt from other historical ‘spares’ in the line of succession.

Plus, we uncover the hidden world of royal ‘grace and favour’ homes - who lives in them, what ‘peppercorn rent’ really means, and whether the Windsors should reconsider who gets to stay.

Finally, hosts Richard Coles and Emily Andrews share their expert predictions on the future of the monarchy, including what kind of king Prince William could become and the changes he may bring when he eventually ascends the throne.
