Princess Catherine's meeting with Melinda French Gates left one line in the court circular, and that single line says plenty about royal PR. In this episode of Where Pop Culture Meets PR, Jacki sets a partnership built in near silence beside a very loud fortnight of headlines about Meghan. Should public figures be judged by what they say or by what they do? And what does silence actually protect?
A paper trail from Windsor Castle to a working session in London, the Shaping Us framework and Pivotal's philanthropic reach all sit against reporting on allegations concerning Meghan's father, which he denies and for which he has not been charged, and against unanswered questions about the police's handling. Royal silence can shield institutions as easily as people, Catherine and Meghan have very different press machinery, and a promise to explore is not yet a result. So is this a contrast in style and substance that holds up, or one that only looks neat before the facts are in?
