Welcome to the very first episode of season 4 of A Right Royal Podcast. We’re kicking off the new series with an incredible episode sharing all the details from Princess Märtha Louise of Norway and Durek Verrett’s big day.
Our HELLO! team were lucky to spend five days with the couple in Norway and in the new episode share all the behind-the-scenes details from their pre-wedding parties as well as their historic nuptials.
Host Andrea Caamano, alongside her colleagues Sophie Vokes-Dudgeon, Jessica Callan and Sally Morgan were lucky to meet and mingle with the couple’s 350 guests – and their ‘easy on the eye’ security guards!
They also recount incredible details such as how they flew with many Norwegian reporters and paparazzi, were chased by drones and what the couple were really like during their one-to-one interviews which have been featured in the magazine. They also talk about the incredible ceremony music that had guests in tears and the moving bible readings by Prince Haakon of Norway, Durek’s sister Angelina Verrett, his nephew Lucas Byrne and the princess’ former nanny Berit Tversland. Andrea also catches up with HELLO!’s royal editor, Emily Nash, who rounds up what the British royals have been up to and what their immediate plans are after a long summer break. -
Your hosts Emmy Griffiths and Emily Nash are back to discuss the latest goings on in the royal family before the monarchy takes their long summer break and discuss everything from Prince William taking Queen Camilla’s sister off the books during his latest financial crackdown, the family’s favourite place to holiday and a very unusual detail about King Charles’ sleeping habits.
And, for our main event, we’ll be chatting to royal editor and author of Catherine, the Princess of Wales: The Biography, Robert Jobson. Robert is a fountain of knowledge on the Princess of Wales and opens up about some surprising facts about the royal from her struggles at school to how she and Prince William had encountered one another before their St Andrews days.
You can learn everything about the royal, from the closeness of her family unit to getting used to life in front of the cameras – and her very difficult year following her cancer diagnosis.

Following a briefing at Buckingham Palace about royal taxes and other financial matters that our GCSE mathematics struggled to comprehend, podcast hosts Emmy Griffiths and Emily Nash break down what it all means - and why it has raised some eyebrows.
Much has been made by Prince William's reluctance to disclose his expenditure as the Prince of Wales, unlike his dad King Charles did back in his days as the heir to the throne. But why would William have made this decision? Do the royals pay taxes as well as receive taxpayers' money? And what is the Duchy of Cornwall, anyway? Have a listen to find out!
While the show's usual co-host Andrea Caamano is enjoying Spain's Euros win on a beach, Emily and Emmy are joined by the late Queen's former press secretary Ailsa Anderson, to chat about all of the latest goings on with the royals - including the latest financial goings on - as she reveals just how much the royals cost the average taxpayer every year. We'll give you a clue - it's the equivalent of a common supermarket purchase! But would you pay for it, if you had the choice to?
Emmy, Emily and Ailsa also discuss Prince George's very special 11th birthday, and how things might be different from the youngster in the future when he eventually becomes King - and Emily and Ailsa reflect on what it was like on the day of his birth - with Ailsa revealing her uniquely special role in announcing the heir to the throne's arrival to the world!
