Donald Trump is not my favourite person. But I couldn’t help feeling a certain grudging admiration for the old dunderhead last week. Asked what he thought of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to interfere in the US presidential election, he just gave a wry smile and said: ‘I …

I don’t know when it first hit me that the world had gone nuts, writes Piers Morgan I don’t know when it first hit me that the world had gone nuts.  It might have been when an American white woman named Rachel Dolezal self-identified as black on national television despite …

Oddly enough, this is not the first Royal book to feature the word ‘Finding’ in its title.  Back in 2011, the Duchess of York published Finding Sarah: A Duchess’s Journey To Find Herself. Dedicated both to ‘Oprah who pulled me out of the darkness’ and to ‘my dearest Andrew who …
