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

4/19/2026
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) ahead of May’s critical local elections, where you'll have a chance to put your questions to Camilla and Tim. 🎟️ Tickets are limited, book yours now!: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/0/live-event-the-daily-t-on-the-road/ We want to hear from you!

Starmer on the brink: how long can the PM survive?

4/17/2026
Sir Keir Starmer’s premiership is on the brink after it emerged that Peter Mandelson failed his vetting for the post of US ambassador, but was still appointed anyway. The Prime Minister says he wasn’t told and is “furious”, and Foreign Office civil servant Sir Olly Robbins has already become the latest “fall guy” for the Mandelson appointment, but Camilla and Jacob Rees-Mogg say Starmer is “either a knave or a fool” and must ultimately now fall on his sword. Camilla and Sir Jacob also look at the options for who might replace the Prime Minister if and when he resigns, with Ed Milliband and Angela Rayner seemingly top of the list. 🚨 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) ahead of May’s critical local elections, where you'll have a chance to put your questions to Camilla and Tim. 🎟️ Tickets are limited, book yours now!: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/0/live-event-the-daily-t-on-the-road/ We want to hear from you!

Epsom protests: Silence of police is eroding trust

4/16/2026
After a woman in Epsom was allegedly gang raped on Saturday night, protesters are calling on Surrey Police to make public descriptions of the suspects and to release CCTV of the incident. Camilla and Jacob speak to rape gangs whistleblower and former detective Maggie Oliver, who says trust in policing has broken down and that “silence is dangerous” when tensions are so high. Plus, Catholics are losing their faith…in Donald Trump, over the president’s very public spat with the Pope.

‘A boring, dull, whiny wet sock!’: Starmer blasted at PMQs over defence spending

4/15/2026
Defence dominated a fiery return to PMQs as Tory leader Kemi Badenoch took on Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a war of words, seizing on criticism from former Labour defence secretary and NATO secretary general Lord Robertson over what he calls “complacency” on military spending. Camilla and Jacob-Rees Mogg react to the PM being pressed on defence investment plans as he says his military advisers are wrong to call him complacent, all while the British Army has shrunk to its smallest size in centuries. And an exclusive poll for The Telegraph suggests Labour could lose control of Wales for the first time since devolution, potentially falling to third place behind Plaid Cymru and Reform UK. 🚨 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) ahead of May’s critical local elections, where you'll have a chance to put your questions to Camilla and Tim. 🎟️ Tickets are limited, book yours now!: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/0/live-event-the-daily-t-on-the-road/ We want to hear from you!

‘Grifters’: Harry and Meghan court controversy on ‘royal tour’ Down Under

4/14/2026
With fuel prices rocketing and threats of nationwide protests in the air, Camilla and Jacob speak to Reform’s economic spokesperson Robert Jenrick, who calls on the Government to cut VAT on fuel duty by half to help households and businesses. Jenrick also calls for the deportation of Axel Rudakubana’s parents, after the inquiry into the Southport attacks found that they could have prevented their son’s horrific knife rampage, but failed in their moral duty to report his alarming behaviour in the lead-up. Elsewhere, Camilla and Jacob also cross to Australia to speak to Telegraph deputy royal editor Victoria Ward.

'He's reversing the referendum!': Another Starmer Brexit betrayal

4/13/2026
Keir Starmer wants to move Britain even closer to the EU by aligning with single-market rules on food standards and carbon emissions. Not only that, but he also wants to do so using so-called “Henry VIII powers”, secondary legislation which could be approved without a Parliamentary vote. Camilla is joined by Jacob Rees-Mogg, who cannot understand why the UK would want to return to the more heavily regulated world of Brussels when the country has benefited from the flexibility of not being in the bloc. Elsewhere, Camilla and Jacob also discuss the findings of the Southport inquiry, with Axel Rudakubana’s parents blamed for not doing “what they morally ought to have done” by allowing his alarming behaviour to go unreported 🚨 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) ahead of May’s critical local elections, where you'll have a chance to put your questions to Camilla and Tim. 🎟️ Tickets are limited, book yours now!: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/0/live-event-the-daily-t-on-the-road/ We want to hear from you!

Secret recordings? How the late Queen feared Harry and Meghan leaks

4/10/2026
Camilla and Tim are joined by royal historian Hugo Vickers, author of new biography Queen Elizabeth II: A Personal History, to lift the lid on what the late monarch was really like behind palace gates. Vickers, who met the Queen over 40 times, reveals how she really didn't get on with Meghan Markle - telling her off after she was rude to Windsor Castle gardeners and even fearing that the Sussexes would be wired up for recording during private meetings. Vickers also tells Camilla and Tim of his belief that Prince Philip was considering taking legal action against Netflix drama The Crown for its portrayal of the death of his sister, as well as how the Queen paid Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's settlement with Virginia Guiffre in order not to overshadow the Platinum Jubilee celebrations. 🚨 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) ahead of May’s critical local elections, where you'll have a chance to put your questions to Camilla and Tim. 🎟️ Tickets are limited, book yours now!: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/0/live-event-the-daily-t-on-the-road/ We want to hear from you!

Why Starmer's desperate ‘global statesman’ rebrand isn't fooling anyone

4/9/2026
Amid more dire polling for Labour and the revelation that both he and the Defence Secretary were on holiday as Donald Trump threatened to wipe Iran off the map at the weekend, Keir Starmer has now disappeared to the Middle East for meetings with Gulf state leaders. The Telegraph’s political editor Tony Diver tells Camilla and Tim that, despite him having no say in ceasefire talks, this is a desperate, last-ditch strategy to portray Starmer as an international statesman by Number 10, with a local election wipe-out on the cards in May. Elsewhere, Tony also talks Camilla and Tim through his exclusive research that shows the UK is more divided than ever before. 🚨 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) ahead of May’s critical local elections, where you'll have a chance to put your questions to Camilla and Tim. 🎟️ Tickets are limited, book yours now!: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/0/live-event-the-daily-t-on-the-road/ We want to hear from you!

‘Embarrassing’: Starmer’s Gulf gambit misfires after Iran ceasefire

4/8/2026
Just as the Middle East appeared to be on the brink of an uncontrollable conflict, the US and Iran have announced a two-week ceasefire. The Pakistan-brokered deal will reopen the Strait of Hormuz – though with Tehran-imposed caveats – and offers “a chance at real peace”, says Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary. Sir Keir Starmer is now jetting off to the Gulf, apparently to boost the morale of British troops there. But, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley ask, what is the point of his Lawrence of Arabia-style jaunt if he had nothing to do with the truce – and indeed had insisted throughout that this was “not our war”? Later, Gen Lord Dannatt, the former Army chief, told The Daily T that Britain has been “embarrassed” and “humiliated” by the Iran crisis and what it has revealed about our depleted defence capabilities. 🚨 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) ahead of May’s critical local elections, where you'll have a chance to put your questions to Camilla and Tim. 🎟️ Tickets are limited, book yours now!: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/0/live-event-the-daily-t-on-the-road/ We want to hear from you!

Starmer on holiday as Trump threatens to wipe out Iran

4/7/2026
Where the hell is Sir Keir Starmer? The Prime Minister has stayed out of the spotlight as the Middle East crisis escalates, holidaying while Donald Trump threatens to bomb Iran “back to the Stone Age”. Camilla and Tim debate whether the PM’s absence during such a critical moment is leadership or negligence. They also break down Trump’s Easter weekend spectacle with a giant bunny and his expletive-laden posts on Iran. And as Kanye West, the US rapper, is blocked from entering the UK after his controversial booking to headline Wireless Festival this summer, they ask whether the festival organisers were right to give West a “second chance” after his anti-Semitic comments which he has blamed on his bipolar disorder. 🚨 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) ahead of May’s critical local elections, where you'll have a chance to put your questions to Camilla and Tim. 🎟️ Tickets are limited, book yours now!: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/0/live-event-the-daily-t-on-the-road/ We want to hear from you!

Losing his religion: Is Prince William’s quiet Christianity enough to be King?

4/3/2026
Prince William’s personal faith has been thrust into the spotlight, after a former royal chaplain accused the Prince of taking a “strategic and political” approach to religion. Camilla and Tim are joined by former Chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II, Gavin Ashenden, to debate whether the future King’s “quiet faith” is a sign of honesty, or a worrying shift away from the deeply Christian leadership embodied by the late Queen. They discuss claims that the Prince of Wales may not be “particularly religious,” how aides insist his beliefs “run deep” despite being private, and whether his focus on the Church’s social action - from food banks to homelessness - is enough for a future Supreme Governor of the Church of England.

Rows, racism claims and tax rises: The truth about Reform councils

4/2/2026
This time last year, after Reform won nearly 700 council seats, Nigel Farage told voters: if you want to know how Reform would run the country, look at your local council. The party now runs 10 county councils and expects to gain more in May. They say they have taken on woke, slashed waste and saved residents money on their council tax. But critics argue they’ve been bogged down in racism rows and broken their promises on tax. Camilla and Tim dig into the truth about Reform’s record in local government, interviewing the council leader in Kent, and ask: what does this all mean for Farage’s chances of reaching No 10?

Scott Mills scandal: BBC warned a year ago and did nothing

3/31/2026
The BBC has admitted to the Telegraph that it knew of allegations against Scott Mills almost a year ago but failed to investigate. The corporation had claimed it terminated the Radio 2 presenter's contract as soon as it learned of the allegations of serious sexual offences against a teenage boy between 1997 and 2000. But as The Telegraph's associate editor Gordon Rayner tells The Daily T, a former BBC presenter contacted the corporation in May 2025 to say she had received information about alleged “inappropriate communications” involving Mills. She did not receive a response, and today the BBC admitted her information “should have been followed up and we should have asked further questions”.

Why ‘absurd’ Labour won’t cut your energy bills

3/30/2026
The Government could cut your energy bills by drilling more in the North Sea, says shadow energy secretary Claire Coutinho, but chooses not to; ideologically wedded to net zero, they instead prefer to view production of oil and gas as “climate vandalism”. Coutinho scriticises Ed Milliband for failing to use Britain’s own resources to keep energy cheap, and that in many cases his drive for net zero has ‘eradicated common sense’ when it comes to energy policy. Elsewhere, Gordon Rayner updates Tim and Rachel on the latest in the Morgan McSweeney stolen phone saga, with the Met Police announcing that they are reopening the investigation into the theft.

Reform's Zia Yusuf: ‘Ban the burka. It’s un-British’

Labour has promised a tougher approach to migration, but it seems too little, too late. On Friday, Shabana Mahmood has unveiled new restrictions on visas and asylum rules as pressure grows to tackle record numbers of migrants in taxpayer-funded accommodation. Yet proposals to offer failed applicants up to £40,000 to leave the UK have triggered a backlash within Labour, with figures such as Angela Rayner questioning the approach. Rachel Johnson and Tim are joined by Zia Yusuf, Reform’s home affairs spokesman, to discuss whether the Government has lost control its immigration system, and what a more robust alternative might look like if his party gets into power. He also argues for a ban on face coverings in public, saying it would improve security and strengthen social cohesion in a “western liberal democracy”. We want to hear from you!

Trump's Iran gamble: madness or masterstroke?

Donald Trump says he is negotiating with Iran – but won’t say who with – while, at the same time, thousands of US marines are arriving in the Middle East. Iran says reports of negotiations with the US president are “fake news” and it has placed mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
