Welcome back to the Right Royal Podcast! Over at HELLO! we are keen royal watchers, and we just love when the royal family pop out of their palaces to go on a royal tour – so our latest episode is all about what goes into the tours over the decades.
These trips are an essential way for the family to raise awareness of important issues close to their heart, as well as promote UK relations with countries all over the world – but that doesn't necessarily mean they come without any chaos, comedy and drama!

We're also joined by former press secretary to the Queen, Dickie Arbiter, who discusses being flown by the now-King Charles as well as Charles and Diana's increasingly unhappy tours together - as well as the one time he washed and dried pots with the late Queen Elizabeth II.
