‘I can’t see this working’: Andrew Lownie on Harry and Meghan’s ‘damned’ return

In a special Friday episode of The Daily T, Camilla and Royal Editor Hannah Furness discuss the latest in the fallout from The Telegraph’s revelation (telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2026/08/19/exclus…) of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s planned move back to the UK. The pair discuss news of Prince Harry’s intention not to speak publicly about private family matters in a bid to regain the King’s trust (telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2026/08/20/prince…), and reports that Meghan has been offered an acting role in the UK (telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2026/08/21/meghan…). Hannah also speaks to the royal author and historian Andrew Lownie about the Sussexes’ shock decision to return to Britain.
He believes the “brass neck” move marks a “new beginning”, and warns that it could cause a strain on the marriage.
