This week Phil is delighted to welcome Brittany from the Royal News Network to discuss the secret lives of European royal families, especially those of Spain, Belgium and Norway. Brittany has a remarkably detailed knowledge of royalty - and a great flair for storytelling.

And we’ll also hear what she thinks of Harry and Meghan’s current level of popularity in the USA.

You can check out Brittany’s excellent channel here...
