  • 23. Timing is Everything: Another Week in Royal Image Management

    45:41||Season 2, Ep. 23
    Prince William has long been considered the least devout of the senior royals, but this week we get to discuss the convenient timing of a new profile spotlighting his "quiet faith." Also this week: Sky News' Rhiannon Mills is heading to Buckingham Palace as media secretary, signaling how the institution wants to manage its press relationships going forward.Plus, a 2023 scheme involving Fergie, the late Queen's corgis, and a reality TV production company has surfaced (it is exactly what it sounds like) and reports that that Princess Beatrice is "privately navigating" distance from her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. We read the sourcing so you don't have to.Analysis of Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s recent interview will be out on Patreon later this week!______________________________New episodes every Wednesday and Friday! Listen early & ad-free on Patreon, where you’ll also find exclusive bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/OffWithTheirHeadlines Watch video episodes for free (a few days later) on YouTube.Feedback or questions?
