Her Royal Highness took a keen interest in finding out all about the wide range of topics around living with sight loss that the station covers and was keen to hear more about the two three hour live daily shows, the two talk based shows and all of the station’s music shows too. 

Toby and Gary found out that Her Royal Highness was not a stranger to being in a radio studio as the Duchess had spent some time working in radio too.
