Harry and Meghan’s disinformation ‘nightmare’, and the royals sweating over whether they’ll be called as Andrew witnesses

A row over broadcaster Joe Rogan hosting Covid-19 conspiracists on his Spotify show engulfed fellow podcasters the Duke and Duchess of Sussex this week. The situation is, ‘a nightmare for Harry and Meghan’, says the Daily Mail’s Diary Editor Richard Eden, who dismisses their statement calling for Spotify to ‘meet this moment’ as ‘mealy-mouthed.’ Another of Harry’s money-making schemes is a new autobiography due out later this year. Given his previous comments about his family in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, one area causing concern to the Palace is what he might write about his stepmother. Meanwhile, Prince Andrew’s US civil case over claims of sexual assault – which he denies – made a return to the headlines, as both sides started to outline the witnesses they wanted to speak to. The Daily Mail’s Royal Editor Rebecca English analyses the latest moves in the legal action for the show.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
