“This was the famous Downing Street
redecoration. Johnson had said he wanted
to set up a charity to help pay for the
improvements, similar to the one used by
the White House to raise millions of dollars
for interior design, antiques and art. It was
absolutely disgraceful, frankly, but it’s always

came up with the nickname Carrie Antoinette
was bloody good. I wish it had been me.”
10.03 Harry and Meghan’s
interview: the aftermath
“Harry and Meghan had appeared on US
television giving their explosive interview
to Oprah Winfrey. At the same time it had
been revealed that the Queen was continuing
to accept gifts of racehorses from Sheikh
Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the
ruler of Dubai, despite being urged to use her
influence over the sheikh to secure the release
of two daughters he had abducted. But did
he have any tips for her?”
