Royal Spy who Spooked Harry and Meghan – plus Secret origins of conspiracy theory

We read the papers so you don’t have to. Today: Megxit means megxit! Brand new paper the Byline Times has a scoop on why Harry and Meghan really left the UK. It’s all a conspiracy, or is it? It’s been 60 years since JFK’s assassination, and the Guardian reckons paranoia about secret plots is only getting wilder. Plus – Murder on the stage floor! Can a bad review really kill off a play? Miranda Sawyer is joined by journalist Jonn Elledge of the New Statesman and comedian Gráinne Maguire.
