Summary
"Deranged conspiracy and melodrama". That's how Harry and Meghan have described Tom Bower's explosive new book about them - 'Betrayal' - saying it had "crossed the line from criticism into fixation".
On today's Daily T, Tom joins Camilla and Tim in the studio and says that's nonsense; they're awful, and the treachery, disloyalty, and duplicity of the Sussex's post Royal life could see them being cut out of the Royal Family for good.
