In the episode, we’re chatting to award-winning journalist, writer and royal commentator Kate Mansey who reveals why Prince William and Kate are “a right fit” from the beginning and how their relationship has mirrored the late Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip’s over the years. She said: "You know, lots of people want to compare them to Diana and Charles, and I get that, but even to the point that when they got married, the Queen and Philip went off to live in Malta.”
