单集简介 ...

Did King Charles really tell Earl Spencer that Diana would soon be forgotten? In his new memoir, Swan Song, Diana’s brother makes a series of explosive claims about the King’s behaviour following her death — prompting a swift and unusually personal response from Buckingham Palace. Roya Nikkhah and Kate Mansey are joined by Andrew Morton, author of Diana: Her True Story, to examine Spencer’s disputed account and ask whether the Palace scored a “colossal own goal” by responding. He also reveals where Spencer’s version conflicts with Diana's own account, and explains why he believes the memoir is an attempt to take control of her story ahead of the 30th anniversary of her death. They also discuss William’s reported “multigenerational fury”, Harry’s relationship with the Spencer family and whether the book honours Earl Spencer’s pledge to protect Diana’s sons — or risks them reliving their grief. Who should have the final say over Diana’s story? Get in touch: theroyals@thetimes.co.uk Watch us on YouTube.

  • Hi, I'm Katie Prescott from the Times Tech Podcast.

  • AI is already changing business and medicine, but could it also change the way we look after our own health?

  • In a special episode in Paid Partnership with Vitality, we look at how AI, wearables

  • and everyday health data could help shift healthcare from treating illness to preventing it.

  • Listen to the Times Tech Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.

  • Losing weight can feel like a roller coaster, full of ups, downs,

  • and being thrown for loops, like when someone brings donuts into the office,

  • or your kids' dino nuggets start giving you that look again.

  • That's why there's Noom.

  • They combine GLP-1s to quiet the food noise with healthy habits

  • that help you keep it quiet, even if you get off the meds.

  • Their program is designed to make weight loss a smooth ride, helping you understand what drives you,

  • so you can build better habits to not just lose weight, but keep it off.

  • Noom.

  • Lose for keeps.

  • Get started at Noom.com.

  • Not all customers will clinically qualify for medications.

  • Individual results may vary.

  • This is Luke with something from one of our sister podcasts.

  • Her death was almost 30 years ago, but Princess Diana has very much been in the headlines this week.
