Royal Ties

Buckingham Palace says it's considering all options, after the King and Princess of Wales were identified as two members of the Royal Family who allegedly discussed the skin colour of Prince Harry and Meghan's son. The names appeared in a Dutch translation of a book which the author insists was an error. Adam speaks to BBC Royal Correspondent Jonny Diamond. And King Charles is currently is at a major climate gathering in Dubai, where he’s warned COP28 delegates that the world is far off track from meeting key climate targets. All that while wearing a very interesting tie. Former Irish President Mary Robinson joins the pod.You can join our Newscast online community here: https://tinyurl.com/newscastcommunityhere
