“I’m resigning from my position on the board of the SoE. I didn’t do so in the immediate aftermath of Ian Murray’s statement saying the UK press wasn’t bigoted b/c I was assured by fellow board members that a robust rebuttal...would soon be forthcoming” pressgazette.co.uk/eleanor-mills-…

“It’s important to understand the outsize influence the Palace press office wields as it manages the UK media’s voracious hunger for royal family coverage. It can try to kill false or misleading stories before publication (journalists have said as much)”
“the monarchy’s defenders...claim that a queen...stands above politics &...is able to unite the nation in ways a mere president never could. 1 week after The Interview, the BRF themselves have become the fracture line along which the nation has disunited.” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
“The young and people of colour are overwhelmingly supportive of #MeghanMarkle, perfectly able to recognise the racism within the campaign of tabloid harassment that helped to drive her and Harry into Californian exile.”
“Older people, the demographic super-served by the tabloid press, are far more likely to be both hostile to Markle and blithely dismissive of her racism accusations.”
