The Rest Is PR

It’s another busy episode for crisis comms as we take on Prince William’s and Princess Catherine’s joint statement over the ongoing Epstein scandal. Ahead of their official three day trip to Saudi Arabia, we investigate the timing, messaging, and potential repercussions for the Royals as they navigate a tumultuous era for their Royal standings in and outside of the UK.

In this episode:
- How the Epstein scandal continues to evolve
- William & Catherine's statement and what it says about their 'crisis comms' strategy
- How significant is the couple's trip to Saudi Arabia, and is the mainstream media missing something?
- Is this the iceberg that sinks the ship for the Royals? Or are William and Catherine getting ahead of the problem?

Shout out to Tom Sykes (The Royalist - https://theroyalist.substack.com/), Paula Froelich (Inside Scoop - https://thescoopwithpaulafroelich.substack.com/) and Andrew Lownie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entitled:_The_Rise_and_Fall_of_the_House_of_York)
