    THEY'RE BACK - But What Now Harry and Meghan are in the UK?

    Only days after announcing their return to the UK, Harry and Meghan touched down with their kids in Birmingham earlier today. Details around what's next for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex now that they are here remain uncertain - the rest of the Royal Family are currently in Balmoral for summer, so it's not known when a reunion will occur. One thing that is known is that Harry wants to get Prince Archie into rugby, and for him to be able to attend the matches every week. Kevin O'Sullivan was joined by author Robert Jobson to discuss what the next days and weeks look like for the couple - and the hypocrisy of the 'climate warriors' flying on a private plane.

    'ERASE My Friendship': What Next for Prince Harry After Court Loss

    Prince Harry has been ridiculed after his role in a £50M legal case against Daily Mail publishers, Associated Newspaper. All 97 claims in the case - many alleging hacking of private messages to obtain stories - were thrown out by the Judge. The defeat has been championed by news organisations and journalists as a win for the free press, as it became clear during the trial that standard journalistic practices were used. The loss has overshadowed the Duke of Sussex's return trip to the UK, which was to mark a countdown to Invictus Games, and has added to the tensions between himself and his family. To discuss the fallout, on this episode Ian Collins is joined by author and journalist Alexander Larman - who thinks it'd be wise for Harry to leave the UK before things get worse - while Kevin O'Sullivan dissects the news with Mail on Sunday Editor at Large Charlotte Griffiths - who discusses her former friendship with the Prince.

    Legal Fail: Prince Harry Dealt Further Blow as Court Case Thrown Out

    Prince Harry has arrived in the UK for the start of his latest visit to mark the countdown to next year's Invictus Games. But on top of being rejected by his own father, King Charles, for a stay at Buckingham Palace, the Duke of Sussex was dealt a further blow on Tuesday after the privacy case he was involved in was dismissed by a High Court judge. The case was believed to be a significant reason why the invitation to stay at a Palace was withdrawn. On this episode of The Royal Tea, Kevin O'Sullivan talks with Angela Levin about Prince Harry's lawsuit and the fallout from its conclusion. Hosted on Acast.
