Kate’s video and Labour PR in power

David Yelland and Simon Lewis discuss how the Princess of Wales’s cancer update video rewrites Royal communications, and what we’ve learnt about the government’s PR strategy.

David Yelland and Simon Lewis discuss the Princess of Wales’ unprecedented video announcing the end of her chemotherapy treatment. There has been nothing like it in the history of the Royal Family's communications and it’s a move that rewrites how they speak to people. Does it come with risks?

Also, what have we learnt about how the Labour government is handling its PR? We look at leaning into unpopularity in an age of populism, and moving Margaret Thatcher’s portrait, and reveal the secret tactics used by the government to reach rioters in the summer.
