A Right Royal Whodunnit

David Yelland and Simon Lewis go from PRs to PIs as they try to uncover who had most to gain from a secret royal meeting that became very public.

The idea of a secret meeting is just that - it stays secret. So what happens when that meeting becomes front page news?

It's time to call in the PR detectives.

This week, David Yelland and Simon Lewis examine the curious case of a clandestine meeting between the senior staff of both Prince Harry and the King. Someone tipped off the press. But who - and why?

David and Simon sift through the evidence to establish what might have been going on behind-the-scenes and which PR team - if any - has most to gain from the meeting being made public.

Also, on the extended edition on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds, they'll look at the fallout from all this - and ask where this leaves the attempts at reconciliation between Prince Harry and his father.

They'll also take a deep dive into the secret PR world of secret meetings - how to arrange them, where to have them and the awkward moments that can follow if someone gets the wrong end of the stick.
