As the Queen hands down an important royal patronage to the Duchess of Cambridge, The HeirPod takes a look at the Karens focus on childhood development and family support. Plus, host and ABC Royal Contributor Omid Scobie catches up with The Mayhew animal charity to hear about their year working with Duchess Meghan. And royal expert Victoria Arbiter is in the studio to chat about the rise of Princess Anne, Trumps visit to Buckingham Palace and the latest royal news.
