@ellievhall reviewed thousands of stories while Meghan Markle was a working member of the royal family. What she found supported Markle's claim during her Oprah interview that the press office failed to fully protect her.
@ellievhall The Palace press office has tremendous influence as it manages the UK media's appetite for royal family coverage. It can try to kill false or invasive stories. It can contest anonymous claims by going on record. It can use pressure to reframe unflattering articles.
@ellievhall The disparities go beyond Meghan and Kate. During the review period, the Palace went on record to justify Prince Edward’s use of a £6,000 private jet and to defend Prince Andrew for consorting with a young woman at the home of his sex offender friend Jeffrey Epstein.
@ellievhall Buckingham Palace did not provide an on-the-record response for this article. A spokesperson for the Sussexes said, "No comment." buzzfeednews.com/article/elliev…
