Omid Scobie and Maggie Rulli discussed the 'raw' side of Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Zoom calls during the Heir Podcast. Ms Rulli stated that the video calls have allowed Kate and Prince William to have more intimate moments with members of the public as a royal press officer has not been involved.
Mr Scobie said: "You have been on royal engagements, you know how orchestrated these events are.
"So there is something really refreshing about the organic nature of these Zoom calls.
"They don't seem to run to an exact time frame.
"Sometimes royal engagements are planned down to the very second but Kate's call with the midwives and the new mums ran on as long as it needed to.

Ms Rulli followed-up: "That is why we are seeing this very authentic, almost raw side to both of them right now, especially Kate.
