Royal Family have 'pulled a blinder' as expert destroys Harry and Meghan's 'game plan'Express/UK, Jan 21, 2023
More than a week after Harry's book was released, both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace have yet to make any comment on the claimes made by the prince.
Edward Coram-James, a PR, reputation and crisis management expert and CEO of Go Up, claimed this shows the Royal Family had a strong "game plan" in place and were prepared for any such accusations, while blasting Harry and Meghan's strategy as "ill-conceived".
He told Express.co.uk: "What should the Royal Family do in response to these claims? In a word: nothing. They have pulled a blinder.
"The biggest mistake that they could make would be to respond to any of the allegations. They are simply not serious enough allegations to warrant them breaching their long held code of silence.
"Breaching that silence will imply guilt. Remaining silent gives an air of maturity and remaining above the fray. T
"The Royal family have had a game plan and, unlike the Sussexes, whose game plan has appeared ill-conceived and often strayed from, the royals have toed the line throughout."
The Royal Family will look forward to King Charles' coronation knowing that they may have taken a mild bruising, but they never came close to being on the receiving end of any knock out blows.
Pauline Maclaran, Professor of Marketing and Consumer Research at Royal Holloway University of London, praised the Royal Family for staying silent on Harry's claims and not getting mixed up in a messy battle with the Sussexes.
She told Express.co.uk: "The Royal Family are taking the right stance because the way it is going, Harry will burn himself out".
