Inside the Royal Family’s War with the Press

Do the British Royal Family actually hate the press? Who really controls the narrative behind palace walls? In this deep dive episode, Richard and Emily explore the Royal Family’s long-standing relationship with the media, from the monarchy’s biggest modern PR disasters to the evolution of palace spin. We examine how Princess Diana’s media coverage reshaped royal reporting forever, the lasting impact of constant press scrutiny on figures like Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Prince William, and whether the monarchy can survive in an era of 24-hour news, social media, and relentless public attention. Behind the headlines and beyond the press releases, this is the truth about royal media power.
