The Princess of Wales is embarking on a new "global mission”, as she makes her first overseas royal trip since her cancer diagnosis.

Chris and Lizzie are on the road again, as Kate got to work in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, learning about early years education. The trip has being described as a “huge moment” for the Princess of Wales.

The future Queen had not been on an international work trip since 2022, and senior members of her team said that she is now "taking it up a gear” on this important Italian visit. She visited the town of Reggio Emilia, which has pioneered an approach to early childhood which is recognised around the world. The Princess was diagnosed with cancer in 2024, and much of her work went on hold during that time.

We've had some significant news from Kensington Palace, this week... Catherine, Princess of Wales will make her first solo foreign trip since her cancer diagnosis.

Fresh from travelling with King Charles to the USA to meet Donald Trump, and Prince Harry in Ukraine, the team are back together for one week only...

So with Chris and Lizzie back in the studio, it seemed the perfect time to discuss these promising signals about the Princess of Wales's health.

Because next week the Talking Royals team will travel to Northern Italy to cover Kate's trip to Reggio Emilia, on a "fact-finding" mission to learn about the city's unusual approach to early years education.

Plus, in this episode, Charlene, Chris and Lizzie reflect on the success of the state visit to the USA and Bermuda, and the King's international diplomacy.

The team react to news of a royal baby...After an official announcement that Princess Eugenie is expecting her third child, with her husband, Jack Brooksbank.

And there's just time, to dive back into our archive and relive the moment the international media covered the birth of Archie Mountbatten-Windsor. To mark his seventh birthday, the team get nostalgic for the moment a beaming Prince Harry faced the press, on the day Meghan gave birth to their son.

In this special Talking Royals episode, the team react to the news that police have arrested a man near Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's home.

Chris, Lizzie and Charlene recorded the episode shortly after Norfolk Police released a statement confirming that an armed man with "an offensive weapon" had been detained near his home.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor moved to the Sandringham Estate earlier this year, after he was reportedly evicted from Royal Lodge in Windsor. He lives in a five-bedroom house called Marsh Farm, which is 500 metres from the tiny village of Wolferton, and 4km from the King’s Sandringham House.
