Outlouders, enjoy this free taster of Mia Freedman, Holly Wainwright & Emily Vernem on our subscriber-only episode.  You can listen to the full conversation: “Emotional Blackmail” An Update On Harry’s Visit Home

The royal reunion we've all been following might not happen after all.

Prince Harry and Meghan were reportedly planning to bring the kids to the UK for the first time in four years, but now the trip is in doubt after Harry's request for police protection was denied. Is this the latest chapter in the royal rift, or a completely reasonable decision from parents trying to protect their children?

Plus, Alex Cooper has finally responded to the allegations surrounding her media company, Unwell. It raises a familiar question: when the controversy centres on a man, why does the woman so often end up carrying the public fallout?

And Mia Freedman has some hard-earned advice for Alex about surviving life as a woman running a media company.
