Christmas 2022 will be an extremely difficult time for the Royal Family, as they mark their first without the late Queen. But historian Jeremy Archer, author of A Royal Christmas, believes King Charles will be keen to keep the family’s long-standing traditions up, knowing how important they were to his mother and father. Jeremy joins Zoe Forsey for a very festive episode of Pod Save the King, looking back at how The Firm has celebrated Christmas over the years. They discuss weird and wonderful traditions, crises the family has faced during the festive period, how the Monarch’s Christmas Speech has changed over the years - and there’s a brilliant story about how an unexpected God Save the King singsong caught them all off guard.
