Prince Harry 'declined' invitation to stay with King during UK visit | The Royals with Roya and Kate

Roya Nikkah and Kate Mansey are drawn to the new and very red painting of King Charles and they use this first official portrait to also look back at images of old to predict the future direction of the monarchy.

They analyse Roya's exclusive earlier in the week on reports that the King had agreed to a request from the Duke of Sussex to stay in a royal residence ahead of the Duke's trip to London - Harry, it is thought, choosing instead to stay in a hotel.

The two editors discuss how they piece together the jigsaw of briefings, tip-offs and insights to make royal coverage possible. It is not, in the words of Kate, all 'hats and champagne'.
