Where do royal journalists get their information from? Coverage of the royal family is full of cryptic references to “contacts, “palace insiders” and “well-placed sources”. In a world where almost everything is off the record, can we ever separate fact from spin?
This five part series asks you to question what you think about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Why did the coverage of Meghan Markle turn so sour, so quickly? Why did the story turn from the fairy tale wedding of a Prince and his new type of Princess, to a tale of so-called ‘duelling duchesses’?
In this series, you’ll hear from the people who wrote this very modern drama: the reporters, columnists and broadcasters who shape public opinion on royalty. Allegations of sexism, racism and strategic leaks – we examine them all. Presenter: Amol Rajan Producer: Phoebe Keane
We used material from: The Jeremy Vine Show, ITN Productions Lorraine, ITV Loose Women, ITV The 3rd hour of Today, NBC News Sky News Inside Edition
