The Princess of Wales is at the centre of a media storm. Statements from Kensington Palace and the release of an edited family photo have only spurred further rumour and speculation about her health and her absence from public life. In this episode we ask how the royal family鈥檚 publicity team handles major stories like this one, how the British monarchy is adapting to the 21st Century media landscape, and why people are so interested in the royals鈥� private lives.

Our presenter Adam Fleming is joined by 大象传媒 Royal Correspondent Daniela Relph and Simon Lewis, the former communications secretary to Queen Elizabeth, now co-presenter of the 大象传媒 podcast 鈥淲hen It Hits the Fan鈥�.
