Trooping the Colour: Royal Pageantry Meets Modern Controversy

On today’s episode, we dive into the splendor of *Trooping the Colour*, one of the British Royal Family's most magnificent traditions. This year, King Charles marks his official birthday with a dazzling display of military precision, vibrant pageantry, and royal spectacle. From the Coldstream Guards to the thrilling Red Arrows flypast, it's a tradition that connects centuries of royal history to the modern age.

But it’s not all pageantry—King Charles also made an unexpected appearance at SXSW London, mingling with cultural icons, braving the rain at a market, and enjoying his day with his signature warmth. Meanwhile, the Sussexes are back in the spotlight, this time for a controversial twerking video that has everyone talking. Was it a PR move? Or just another misstep?

We discuss the implications and whether Meghan Markle's brand is on the ropes.
