Sunday Times chief foreign correspondent Christina Lamb joins The Royals to discuss the Duchess of Edinburgh’s high risk visit to the Democratic Republic of Congo, one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a woman or a girl. The conversation explores how members of the royal family are using their positions to engage with some of the most challenging issues of our time from conflict and human rights to the environment and Britain’s place in the world and asks what meaningful impact they can have when they step onto the global stage.

This episode contains explicit discussions of rape, including the rape of children, in the context of war crimes and sexual violence in conflict zones. Listener discretion is advised.
