## Resource

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!
