2023 review of a rollercoaster royal year: Coronation, family dramas and the end of the beginning

The first full year of the Carolean era is (nearly) complete. The history books will remember the sparkle and fanfare of the coronation - but right now the rift with the Sussexes which has dominated the beginning and end of the year casts a heavy shadow.  Pod Save the King host Ann Gripper is joined by Daily Mirror royal editor Russell Myers and his boss, Mirror editor Alison Phillips, to discuss a rollercoaster year. They reflect on the state of the family, their work and their relationships, pick their Royal of the year - and share their hopes and expectations for the Firm in 2024. *** Pod Save the King is a Reach production. It is presented by Ann Gripper, and edited by Daniel J. McLaughlin. Photo: Christopher Furlong/Getty Images Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
