Kate and Camilla share the load of Qatar state visit

The Princess of Wales was part of the official welcoming party for Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and the first of his three wives, Sheikha Jawaher, for this week’s state visit - but it was Queen Camilla who joined the banquet festivities.

With Kate continuing her gradual return to duties after chemotherapy for cancer treatment and Camilla recovering from pneumonia it made for a royal job share.

Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers, who was at Buckingham Palace as the visitors saw royal collection treasures related to Qatar.

The PSTK team also discuss the latest separate appearances by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and how the mood music has changed about a potential Christmas visit by the Sussexes. 

They also reflect on the windows the royals are giving into their worlds, the countdown to Christmas and enduring royal commitments.
