The Commonwealth this weekend celebrates the 70th Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. It's a milestone that's never been reached by a British monarch before, but the joyous event is being overshadowed by a number of stories currently affecting the Royal family.
The Queen’s health is ailing, scandal continues to swirl around Prince Andrew, more commonwealth nations are becoming republics. and the ongoing saga of Harry and Meghan is still attracting headlines.
So what does all this mean for the future of an institution that has long been at the centre of British life?
Today, Newshub Europe correspondent Lisette Reymer joins Damien from London to discuss the Jubilee and what comes next for the House of Windsor.
