Tina Brown, former Vanity Fair editor and the author of "The Palace Papers," tells David Merritt that London has recaptured its joy, unlike, say, New York which is still suffering a "kind of clinical depression."

In this extended conversation, they also discuss the national identity crisis brewing in Britain and the "dropped shoe" moment awaiting if the cost-of-living crisis and the Queen's passing happen at the same time.

But Brown is bullish: the monarchy isn't going anywhere. And although Prince Andrew "hasn't exactly enhanced the gravitas of the crown," Prince Harry may be the bigger problem for the thousand-year-old institution.
