About Me

I am an award-winning journalist covering news stories globally for respected newspapers and websites.

An experienced interviewer and skilled investigative reporter, I specialise in delving behind the headlines to write in-depth features with a hard news angle.

In addition to my print articles, I also produce video interviews which have appeared on major outlets including Entertainment Tonight, Extra and DailyMail.com.

After 10 years working in Los Angeles I moved back to the UK in May 2020. I now cover London and the south coast and am happy to travel nationally or internationally for work when needed. 

If you have a story and need a trustworthy and empathetic journalist to help tell it, please get in touch via email at: hugodanieljournalist@gmail.com

Years later the Duke has been forced to step down from Royal duties because of his links to the paedophile billionaire and the US Department of Justice wants to question him about their friendship.
