I like Sky Rhiannon she is an actual journalist. She has a tweet up talking bout the debate in the newsroom about using the Cookbook video because it is pr no opportunity to actually question etc. 2nd post from a reporter on this issue of MM not facing the media and answering questions. They clearly see it is a pr splash.

The kind of fantasy Meghan is spinning is fine in Hollywood, but once you are in the political sphere or in the royal family, it becomes propaganda. It’s as real as Trump’s supposed riches and blue collar sympathies and just as seductive. Rhiannon is correct to be wary of it.

But the UK press is in a bind because they’ve been letting the royal propaganda skate so far. Now, sure, they did it because the royals were relatively discreet about it. They visit the Grenfell victims and do fundraisers, but their pictures aren’t in the front and the interactions are a ritualized posy offering and maybe a quick hug.
