From Trooping the Colour and Royal Ascot to Wimbledon and Balmoral, the British summer season is one of the most glamorous — and revealing — moments in the royal calendar.
In this True Royalty Original, host Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is joined by royal biographer and Editor-in-Chief of *Majesty Magazine*, Ingrid Seward, and Senior Royal Reporter for *News.com.au*, Bronte Coy, to uncover the traditions, secrets and social rituals behind a royal summer.
They discuss:
◼ Why Britain’s summer social season remains so unique — and how it evolved from aristocratic tradition to celebrity spectacle
◼ The hidden history behind Trooping the Colour and why it remains central to royal pageantry
◼ What really happens inside Royal Ascot, from the Royal Box to its famously strict dress code
◼ How King Charles and Queen Camilla are shaping the modern royal summer
◼ Why Prince William and Catherine are more selective about royal appearances such as Ascot
◼ The Royal Family’s private summer escape to Balmoral
◼ Why Wimbledon holds such a special place for Catherine, Princess of Wales
