Has Prince Harry let the country down?

Emma B sits in with topical chat and your calls. Call 08459 811111.

After the success and glory of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London 2012 Olympics, Britain is in a state of euphoria.

The Royal family have played their part in that. The wedding of Wills and Kate, high profile appearances at the Jubilee concert and again at the Olympics has pushed their popularity.

In a recent poll, 69% believe the country would be worse off without the Royal Family.

That was until Prince Harry got his kit off in a Las Vegas Hotel room.

Today, the Sun has broken ranks with other national newspapers and printed pictures of a naked Prince Harry.

The photographs have been seen around the world but British newspapers and broadcasters had complied with a request from St James' Palace not to publish them.

Has all that success and hard work by the Royals been damaged by Harry's behaviour?

Has Harry let the Royal Faily down? Has he let the British public down or is he allowed to have a bit of fun?

We hear your reactions.

Also on the show, we all hate meaningless jargon according to a survey out today. Phrases like, 'going forward,' 'just cut to the chase' and 'make sure you give 110%' are commonplace in Kent's offices but do they actually mean anything. Do they grate on you?

Tim Phillips, author of the book Talk Normal, chats to Emma B about the overused and annoying cliches in Britain (10.45).

The research shows most of us find them embarrassing so why are they becoming so common? How do we put a stop to them?

And Vanessa Price from Faversham joined us in the studio (11.10). Vanessa is now an awareness ambassador for the charity Target Ovarian Cancer, but back in 2008 when she was diagnosed with it she had never even heard of the disease.

Her role now is to raise awareness and stress the importance of early diagnosis.
