Sarah, Duchess of York, talks to Nick Ahad about her debut Mills and Boon novel, Her Heart for a Compass, based on the life of her ancestor, Lady Margaret. She talks about the parallels between her own life and her heroine’s, including finding freedom in America. She discusses the impact of newspaper headlines on her mental health, her plans to make a feature film about Prince Albert's mother Louise, and what she makes of TV series The Crown.

Composer Max Richter’s new album ‘Exiles’ is a combination of new works, new recordings and new orchestrations of some of his most popular pieces. He talks to Nick about what writing for an orchestra can add, and how he uses his music as activism.
