Everyone references Christopher Geidt being sacked from BP but few consider the staff turnover at KP that happened concurrently in 2017/2018. They brought in new Private Secretaries for William, Kate, & Harry within months of Harry & Meghan’s engagement announcement. 1/
That level of turnover in senior mgmt creates a leadership vacuum in any organization. This was also just as William & Kate moved to London to take on full-time royal duties. Add in Meghan’s introduction as a senior principal in the KP household & it was a recipe for disaster. 2/
Egos, insecurities, cultural differences, & inexperience all culminated in an epic power play w/in the royal household. Will & Kate solidified their place in the line of succession. Harry & Meghan left royal life & by 2020 so had the KP courtiers who put their exit in motion. 3/
2 yrs later the newest edition of KP staff is being blamed for the PR gaffes that plagued the #RoyalTourCaribbean. When will people look past the staff & recognize that they’re merely a reflection of the principals they serve. Attitude reflects leadership.bbc.com/news/uk-608704…

“Archbishop #DesmondTutu, Nobel Peace Prize laureate & veteran of South Africa's struggle against white minority rule, has died aged 90, the presidency said on Sunday.”
#HarryAndMeghan introduced Archie to the Archbishop during their 2019 tour.
“Archbishop Tutu will be remembered for his optimism, his moral clarity,& his joyful spirit. He was an icon for racial justice & beloved across the world…He remained a friend & will be sorely missed by all.” #RIPDesmondTutu
The Christmas gifts keep on coming as the Fail publishes judge’s ruling in #MeghanMarkle’s legal win. 🎁
“The #DuchessOfSussex wins her legal case for copyright infringement against Associated Newspapers for articles published in the Mail on Sunday and posted on Mail Online”
I’d say this puts the kibosh on any Supreme Court appeal from ANL. But by running the statement at the bottom of the page instead of in a front page box ANL is testing the judge’s requirement for prominence. I’d love to see Justice Warby force them to print it again.
The judge required ANL to print a “short report” of his decision not an apology. Although Meghan won her privacy claim,admitting invasion of privacy wasn’t part of the required statement. The judge designated the exact copy & that it should be on the front pg in 17pt Gotham Bold.
Update: ANL lost their appeal in the copyright lawsuit vs. #MeghanMarkle. The summary judgement that Justice Warby issued will stand. Meghan won both the copyright & privacy claims. ANL can still ask to appeal to the Supreme Court but success is unlikely.
