    Pod Save the King in Australia: what can we expect from Charles and Camilla's royal visit?
    Oct 17 2024
    Pod Save the King comes to you from Australia this week with Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers and photographer Ian Vogler discussing the upcoming Royal Visit. They discuss the Republican movement in Australia, state premiers boycotting a reception with the King, and the repatriation of Indigenous artefacts. The timing is also interesting for Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese, a sworn republican, who has been under fire recently. What can we expect from the meeting between Albanese and the King? And was Charles - when he was the Prince of Wales - taking the biscuit by not taking the Lamington cake on his last visit to New South Wales in 2018? You can get the slice of the action (sorry) from Russell and Ian in their update from the Royal Visit. Pod Save the King is a Reach Studio production, edited by Daniel J. McLaughlin.
