Following the Royal Family’s Easter gathering at Windsor, we explore King Charles III’s evolving relationship with his grandchildren and how the monarch’s public image has softened in recent years.

With the Crown Prosecution Service now supporting the Met Police investigation into alleged crimes, what could this mean for the former Prince?

Emily also reveals new details about the care of Queen Elizabeth II’s beloved corgis amid the latest allegations.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry is reportedly awaiting an invitation for a family visit to Sandringham this summer. Should King Charles extend an olive branch to the Sussexes - and will security concerns play a key role in any potential reunion?

Finally, marking five years since the death of Prince Philip, we reflect on the Duke of Edinburgh’s legacy, his lasting impact on the monarchy and share some surprising lesser-known facts about his life.
