Listen here on your chosen podcast platform.

A baby girl has made history as the first child in the UK to be born from a womb transplant. Amy Isabel Davidson was delivered at the end of February after her mum, Grace, received the womb from her older sister, Amy, in 2023.

The pioneering transplant procedure follows decades of work by surgeons Professor Richard Smith and Isabel Quiroga. Daniel Keane, Health Correspondent for the Standard joins us to offer an insight into this medical breakthrough and who might be able to benefit from this procedure in the future.

Plus, the Duke of Sussex arrived at the Royal Courts of Justice in London this morning, to appeal the previous decision to downgrade his security arrangements in the UK. The Standard’s Court Correspondent, Tristan Kirk, is on hand to explain Prince Harry’s case and how it might affect his future visits with his family.
