Yesterday, unexpectedly, I found myself watching entire Harry & Meghan Netflix series in one go. I wanted to see if a) the production was any good and b) if, in the light of the criticism of it by some, my mind would be changed. It was well made and my support for them enhanced..

For as long as I can remember, Palace has been woeful when it comes to their own PR & dealing with controversies. You have to go back decades since they had a reliable press officer. It is possible to be supportive of H&M but not be against royals. But they don’t make it easy.
