Dickie Arbiter discusses the Sussexes' claims and royal dynamics following their return to the UK.

In today’s episode of The Royal T, Camilla Tominey and Hannah Furness speak to Dickie Arbiter, Queen Elizabeth II’s former press secretary, after Harry and Meghan’s return to the UK. Mr Arbiter takes issue with Prince Harry’s claim that Uganda pulled out of the Invictus Games after the King’s letter described them as “private citizens”, and claims the Sussexes are “blaming everybody for their ills”. They also discuss the Duke and Duchess’s recent return to the UK, and ask Mr Arbiter how Prince Harry and Prince William have handled their roles as royals differently over the years. Arbiter also shares his experiences handling press communications for the Palace, and recalls anecdotes involving royal figures such as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the late Diana, Princess of Wales. ► Subscribe to our new Daily T YouTube channel: youtube.com/@dailytpodcast ► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.
