About this episode

It’s not been quite the “annus horriblis” of 2024, but the Royal family have never been far from a headline so far this year.


There have been fresh allegations about the Duke of York’s private life and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in a new book by Andrew Lownie; the King and the Princess of Wales are both continuing to recover from cancer; rumours of a reconciliation with the exiled Prince Harry persist – and so does Meghan Markle’s “tone-deaf” Netflix show.


Camilla is joined for a special Daily T by Royal Editor Hannah Furness and Deputy Royal Editor Victoria Ward to bring us up to speed on all of the latest Royal news.
