The main story concerns a public dispute between Buckingham Palace and Earl Spencer over his new book about Princess Diana, serialised by the Daily Mail. Earl Spencer claims that during the planning of Diana's funeral in 1997, the then Prince Charles told him that his sister would soon be forgotten, and that he had unsuccessfully argued that the young princes should not walk behind the coffin. Buckingham Palace issued a statement saying it does not comment on books as a matter of principle, but added that the King is mindful that fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgement and colour memory, which was interpreted as a direct rebuttal of Earl Spencer's account. The programme discussed the context of the funeral, including Earl Spencer's eulogy and the long-standing tensions between the Spencer and royal families.

The broadcast also reported that Harry and Meghan's children had to change schools shortly after starting in the Cotswolds because a security assessment found the school run impractical, with traffic splitting the convoy and making it unsafe, so they moved to a school closer to their Northamptonshire residence. This coincided with a RAVEC committee meeting reassessing their security needs. Additionally, the King hosted an artificial intelligence summit at Dumfries House, using his convening power to bring together tech leaders, with a focus on keeping humanity at the heart of AI.
