Prince William is actively seeking to bring about changes within the monarchy, as evidenced by his recent decision that has sparked interest. Reports reveal that Prince William has added a crisis management expert, Liza Ravenscroft, to his communications team. Ravenscroft, known for her adept crisis handling skills, joins from Edelman, where she led the UK Crisis & Issues team.
While Ravenscroft is expected to take on a non-crisis role within Prince William’s team, royal commentator Jennie Bond views this move as strategic. Bond suggests that Ravenscroft’s recruitment may have been influenced by Julian Payne, a former communications secretary to King Charles III who currently oversees Ravenscroft.
Describing her approach on LinkedIn, Ravenscroft emphasizes her experience in managing high-profile issues such as boycott campaigns, allegations, and safety concerns. With a background in crisis management at Marriott Hotels and British Airways, Ravenscroft values building strong relationships to navigate challenging situations.
The royal family has faced various crises in recent years, including controversies involving Prince Harry and Meghan, as well as the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor scandal. The ongoing rift between Prince William and Prince Harry adds to the challenges faced by the monarchy. Bond suggests that Prince William’s proactive approach, including hiring Ravenscroft, aims to maintain stability within the royal household amidst upcoming uncertainties.
