‘The Queen had seen plenty of narcissists’: Inside Meghan's rift with Elizabeth II

About this episode

The episode features royal biographer Robert Hardman discussing the rift between Meghan Markle and Queen Elizabeth II, along with insights into royal scandals.

Camilla and Hannah are joined by bestselling royal biographer Robert Hardman, author of the explosive new book Elizabeth II: In Private. In Public. The Inside Story, to reveal the secrets and scandals that rocked the late Queen’s reign.  Hardman, the only biographer to have interviewed all senior members of the Royal Family, shares exclusive, inside details sourced from family, staff, advisors, and even President Donald Trump.  He explains what ex-PM David Cameron told him about the real reason Andrew was stripped of his trade envoy status in 2011 and the “cold fury” within the Palace after Andrew secured the Queen’s consent for the disastrous 2019 Panorama interview, which he tragically thought “had all gone rather well”. And he shares the full story on the Harry and Meghan drama, revealing that the Queen genuinely “tried so hard” to build a strong relationship with Meghan. A senior aide, however, revealed that “The Queen had seen plenty of narcissists in her life” after THAT Oprah interview with the couple that shocked the world. 🚨 LIVE EVENT: The Daily T will be going on the road to London (April 27), Cardiff (April 28), Warwick (April 29) and Worthing (April 30)…
