How has Catherine shaped her role as Princess of Wales and what did she learn from Diana? Ingrid Seward, author of the new book Catherine & Diana, joins A Right Royal Podcast for a special live recording at Quaglino's in London.

Ingrid, who knew Diana personally, reveals how Catherine became Prince William's sounding board long before they were a couple, why she has chosen to "give enough, but not too much" of herself in public, and how her cancer diagnosis brought the Wales family even closer. We also discuss Carole Middleton's quiet but powerful role behind the scenes, the pressure of inheriting a title so closely tied to Diana, and whether the two Princesses of Wales would have got on.

HELLO!'s Emily Nash, Emmy Griffiths and Andrea Caamano host this live episode in front of our VIP members, the full recording can be viewed by joining Hello! VIP here: hellomagazine.com/subscribe
