What happens next?The Crown has dropped its season five trailer and we’re living in the “Annus horribilis” era of the Royals. Sign us up. Meanwhile, Bono has apologised for (and explained why) the uninvited intrusion of a U2 album on everyone’s iTunes back in the day, and Myf has a “f**k hut” to tell you about.
