Plus the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are on their next overseas trip - this time in Columbia - whilst Prince William's new art exhibition 'Homelessness: Reframed' has opened at the Saatchi Gallery. Presenter Kate Thornton is joined by The Mirror’s Royal Editor Russell Myers, Royal Editor at The Sunday Times, Roya Nikkhah, and Royal Contributor at The Washington Post, Sarah Hewson to discuss all this and more.
