Both kings would like to step aside  .
Happily it is White to move.

The discovered mate from the white bishop is an obvious thing to try for, and if there were any doubt, that should be dispelled by the fact that if Black moves the B on g6 then that square needs to be attacked by the mating move. The main difficulty was working out why only one of the three possible moves by the d1 R was the correct one.

Nice puzzle..
Easy key - after a few seconds it is clear. The Black Q is pinned
