PODCAST | THE INTERVIEW: Go behind-the-scenes of what happened when Meghan and Harry arrived in Cape Town

Cape Town - Is the camera battery charged? Is the memory card packed? There are so many things you can’t afford to forget. Is the alarm set? 

There were rooftop meetings, media and security briefings, editorial catch-ups, huddles, Google drives and docs, WhatsApp messages, more meetings, colour-coded call sheets, and what feels like perhaps a modest 100 000 e-mails.

What does it take to cover a royal tour? In episode 3 of the second season of The Interview we give you an inside look behind-the-scenes of one of our biggest stories of the year. 

Season 2 of The Interview is brought to you by Showmax. Our editor's pick for what to watch on Showmax this week is the quirky soap opera The Royals, starring Elizabeth Hurley as Queen Helena – the monarch of a fictional British royal family. Click here for a 14-day free trial and watch the film on Showmax now!
