Inside the Prince Harry Book Blitz and What It Means for the Monarchy
He was King Charles\u2019s Communications Chief for almost a decade. She wrote the book on Charles (literally). Our guests today \u2013 Patrick Harverson and Catherine Mayer \u2013 are two insiders who take us beyond the media spectacle and into the inner workings of both the Crown and the British media. They consider whether the revelations inside Prince Harry\u2019s best-selling book \u201cSpare\u201d will shake-up a stodgy palace. They discuss the unquenching hunger of the tabloid machine, debate the resilience of the monarchy \u2013 and examine whether the response to this royal controversy hints at a deeper culture war brewing in Britain. Finally, they unpack an emotion that permeates Harry\u2019s pages: grief.\xa0\n\nKara and Nayeema taped this episode in London where they were joined by Brooke Hammerling, a strategic communications expert and Kara\u2019s go-to source for all things royal. Before and after the interview, the trio looks at how people on both sides of the pond are responding to the book\u2019s many revelations. And Brooke shares why a tell-all \u2026 may not have been the best strategy for Harry and Meghan.\n\nYou can find Kara and Nayeema on Twitter at @karaswisher and @nayeema.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
