Remember when Richard Eden wrote a story days earlier about speaking to "a friend of Prince William" and proceeded to tell his own made up assessment of William and the Monarchy?😏
Well, the latest 'Palace confidential' was quite interesting in that regard because both Rebecca English, the DM royal editor and Richard Eden were seated discussing last week major PR win for the Prince of Wales.
Ms English said:
"William has a very closed-knit group of friends, very loyal and close knit; it is very difficult to get genuine stories from this group of people because they are very discreet and very protective of him."
To which, get ready for this, Richard Eden replied:
"I should know I have been trying to get info out of them for 20 years and still have nothing"🔥
So...If Mr Eden has never succeeded in getting a genuine story from a friend of William, which we already knew; Why did he write an article pretending William's friend told him, the prince wanted to end the Monarchy?🤡
As Sun Tzu said: "If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by".
Prince William's consistency in his determination to protect his privacy has forced the press to overplay their hand and expose the game.
This is why the Royal Rota has lost their credibility; they have exposed their personal vendetta against Prince William simply because he plays by his own rules and not the press rules. They have exposed that they will make up stories and create narrative to tarnish him since he refuses to serve his private life and family on a platter for them🔥
Again, There is no "super injunction" in place preventing the press from printing bad stories against William; that is pure rubbish🤡
The press themselves admit it: they have nothing bad to publish on him because they found nothing on him; William simply walk the talk thus they cannot blackmail him into submission🤷🏽♀️
Thus, they attempt to harrass his friends in vain to get anything scandalous to write on him; That is called desperation🤭
Another interesting point that Rebecca made was that she joked with a member of his team present at his engagement "how many times can you break the internet in 1 week?"🤩
Rebecca stressed how effectively William handles his stardom in a way that differentiates him from celebrities: He does not seek it. He goes on doing the most mundane things with his family and the world is facsinated.
She said what she likes is that "He does not squeeze the spotlight".
He comes out then go back to live his private life as soon as; and in a way that is why the interest in everything about William and Catherine so massive: the fact that they are very private and reveal very little about their lives outside of the public spotlight and yet seem so normal❤️
Rebecca concluded by contrasting the effective way the Wales handle the spotlight to H&M thirst of the spotlight🤭
How desperately they chase attention and accolades; how they chase celebrity validation and overshared and exposed themselves. What it created in the public is a need to see them disappear and be more private😂
The most effective PR is to simply be who you claim to be; and the Wales do that very effectively☕️

Today, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles III will hand over Harry’s role as Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to older brother Prince William.

The decision to appear on camera and deliver the message was Catherine's decision and she wrote the message despite William's reservations. An insider revealed in the papers that Prince William actually questioned :
“Why should she have to explain herself?"🔥
Indeed backlash, speculations and criticism have never phased William. If it was left to him, the press would have had nothing but an official correspondence.
However, Catherine is not a "lilly Flower in the wind", she is a boss at KP and makes decisions. It would have been so easy to throw her staff under the bus for the photoshop; that is what "Good PR" dictated. But Catherine publicly took accountability for the editing because she is a decent and honest human raised to be strong❤️
And so William supported her decision and tasked his private secretary
Ian Patrick, to expedite the process for Catherine.
The Telegraph reported:
"At 3.30pm on Friday, seemingly out of the blue, Kensington Palace notified royal correspondents that it would be holding a briefing just half an hour later relating to the Princess. The message sparked a flurry of activity in newsrooms across London, where editors prepared to tear up existing plans for newspaper and website front pages."🔥
"BBC News was given no advance notice of the announcement by virtue of BBC Studios’ involvement in filming the statement, meaning that its correspondents discovered the news alongside everyone else"🔥
"The White House was informed of the Princess’s diagnosis by British officials shortly before 6pm which is 2pm there. Joe Biden’s press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, arrived at the White House briefing room ready to address the news".
"At home, Prime minister Rishi Sunak was on a visit to the East Midlands when he was informed about the impending statement on the Princess of Wales’s health. Mr Sunak was then briefed after details of the Princess’s statement"🔥
"As is convention, the Cabinet Office went on to inform Sir Keir Starmer about the Princess’s video message that would be broadcast at 6pm that day.
The advance notice gave both men’s teams the opportunity to prepare their own statements expressing warm
support for the Princess and her young family."❤️
So this was the timeline behind the scene. Again, No advance notice was given to the Press. William just sprung it on them because W&C do things on their terms and on their own timeline.
This is the easy access that the Wales have to prime time news as well as the White house, the Prime ministers office and any government really.
So no, they do not need to work with US paparazzis or TMZ🤡
Their priority was and remain their children; not random unemployed ghouls online making money off conspiracy theories, while blaming the Palace "PR fail" for their own bullying of a sick woman🤡
Catherine and William have a stellar reputation as decent human beings with loyalty to the crown and to their family. So the popularity they both enjoy at home and abroad is organic, not manufactured PR. The video announcement has close to 95 Million views and 5 Million likes on Instagram;
102 Million views and over 500K likes on X without including reposts & media channels🔥
When Catherine spoke the whole world stopped to listen then the outpouring of support came from presidents , first ladies, world leaders and officials, A list crlebrities, sports legends and the public...She truly is loved the world over😍
Human decency is the best PR anyone can have. It inspires, impact lives and can change the course of history. Today the Monarchy is more popular than ever because Catherine and William bring a humanity and relatability that charms even people who are not Royalists.
That is why no matter the bitter lemons life throws their way, they continue to overcome as a couple❤️
@ARandomKaren You know what’s funny - in nearly 25 years of Catherine officially in public eye, we haven’t even HEARD this many random claims from Catherine - obviously because she is actually elegant, tight-lipped, and doesn’t leak to the press and complain complain complain…
How can a photo cause such a storm?
Let's hope these photo agencies are meticulously going through all the other photos they've published to check sleeves and zips 🤦♂️
lol. So much unnecessary drama
I think Charlotte was holding something branded in her lap, a Stanley cup perhaps 😂 so obviously they had to photoshop it out because the Royal Family shouldn’t post brands
It’s common to photoshop family pics! Photoshop baby smiling when crying

F. Unquestionably, her outfits are planned by a team of advisors, seamstresses, and secretaries, far enough in advance.
It’s obvious they would discuss whether a repeat is APPROPRIATE.
G. The old dress could have been uncomfortable, sweaty, or too cold for the event.
Really tired of seeing all the nonsense complaints “why is she wearing a similar dress” “wHaT aBoUt sUsTAiNaBiLiTy”
A. She has RECYCLED MORE than worn new this year. Check her look book this year.
B. She literally CREATES REVENUE for the new companies she wears.
C. …
E. The clothing or shoes she wears might be a gift from her family, from William, from her in-laws - we may NEVER know.
Stop applying your small worldview to a professional at their job. She has already generated more money for the nation than any of us ever can.
…
I'm going to tell the sugars again... While PoW has input on what she wears her wardrobe is overseen by seamstresses, cleaners, archivists, dressmakers, milliners, stylists & of course designers. Every outfit she wears is planned up to a year in advance to include undergarments, shoes, jewelry, hairstyle, event, activity level, expected weather. Every detail is planned. She never has & never will copy anyone. She doesn't need to. She is the trendsetter, others copy her. Sugars 🙄
I’m self-made from a poverty immigrant family. Lower middle class now.
I have multiple same dresses in different colours. I have 4 sets of shoes that look almost the same.
I love fashion. Some days, only my partner sees me. So what? I don’t even generate national revenue.

C. She and W work AS A TEAM. If he’s concerned about her SUPPORTING FASHION, it’s theirs to discuss.
D. The clothing she buys isn’t even extravagantly expensive. For some of us, maybe. But for modern day quality, normal.
E. …
