He was King Charles’s Communications Chief for almost a decade. She
wrote the book on Charles (literally). Our guests today – Patrick
Harverson and Catherine Mayer – are two insiders who take us beyond
the media spectacle and into the inner workings of both the Crown
and the British media. They consider whether the revelations inside
Prince Harry’s best-selling book “Spare” will shake-up a stodgy
palace. They discuss the unquenching hunger of the tabloid machine,
debate the resilience of the monarchy – and examine whether the
response to this royal controversy hints at a deeper culture war
brewing in Britain. Finally, they unpack an emotion that permeates
Harry’s pages: grief. Kara and Nayeema taped this episode in
London where they were joined by Brooke Hammerling, a strategic
communications expert and Kara’s go-to source for all things royal.
Before and after the interview, the trio looks at how people on
both sides of the pond are responding to the book’s many
revelations. And Brooke shares why a tell-all … may not have been
the best strategy for Harry and Meghan. You can find Kara and
