King Charles’ former comms secretary recommended Prince William’s new hire.

She was recruited by Julian Payne, a former communications secretary to King Charles and Queen Camilla.

Prince William’s new PR expert Liza Ravenscroft hails from Edelman.
“Julian Payne has stayed close to the King, so it is unlikely to be a coincidence that one of his most senior and respected members of staff has taken a key role in William’s office after a period of turmoil,” an insider told Daily Mail.
“And when they are looking for closer alignment between Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace as minds turn to William’s eventual succession,” they added.
A Kensington Palace insider added that public relation experts, who are employed by The Firm, have a collective “range of experience,” adding that Ravenscroft will be working in a “non-crisis” role.

The Former Prince Andrew Could Be Writing a Tell-All Memoir in the Near Future

The PR move will aid in Prince William’s eventual succession to the throne.
A source has also described Ravenscroft as a “seasoned media handler who believes in the power of strong relationships to defend and charm in equal measure.”
The man formerly known as Prince Andrew, 65, had his royal titles taken away by Charles, 77, last year due to his ties to convicted dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew was also evicted from his Windsor mansion, Royal Lodge. He has been forced to move to a smaller home on the Sandringham Estate.
The ex-Duke of York is reportedly weighing offers to pen a tell-all memoir that would paint him as a victim of the #MeToo movement, a source exclusively told OK!.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is no longer the Duke of York due to his scandals.
Publishers have already expressed “huge interest” in his autobiography as his scandals continue to mount.
“No contracts have been finalized, but there is considerable interest from publishers,” the insider said. “For Andrew, a book represents both a potential financial lifeline and an opportunity to claim that he has been unjustly handled.”
Another source noted: “Andrew knows where the bodies are buried – and that makes the idea of a memoir extraordinarily sensitive for the royal family, because it could expose private conversations and long-held secrets.”
