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.
