• Social media have been awash with speculation about Catherine’s health and whereabouts.
• As scrutiny reaches a fever pitch, we ask: why is the Palace’s typical media playbook no longer working?

Not so ‘unprecedented’

• Anne Boleyn (circa 1501-1536), the second of six wives of Henry VIII, was executed after being found guilty of adultery, incest and treason.
• The long-reigning Queen Victoria (1819-1901) was widely regarded as as a loyal wife and mother.
• Yet she too became the target of gossip regarding her close friendship with Scottish servant John Brown after her husband, Prince Albert, died in 1861.

The Palace’s strategic communications

• The royal family has gradually adjusted to new media and technologies, though not as quickly as the public might like.
• On one hand, the Palace continues its age-old tradition of announcing major news on a noticeboard at the gates of Buckingham Palace.

Internet sleuthing and a manipulated image

• There were also more serious claims that she was in a coma, or dead, or getting a divorce.
• In the midst of this speculation, TMZ published a grainy photo of Catherine in the passenger seat of a car near Windsor Castle.
• The public quickly realised the image was at best poorly photoshopped or at worst AI-generated.
• The Associated Press, Getty Images, AFP and Reuters subsequently issued “kill notices” on the image, stating concerns it had been digitally manipulated.

Old media PR won’t work in a new media world

• The situation with Catherine’s absence from public life exposes the limits of old media strategies in a “new media” world.
• The Palace is used to being able to control media coverage through the royal rota, a select group of press outlets in the UK given access to royal events.
• Yet the interest in Catherine’s health has prompted a number of statements to the press.
• These old media strategies don’t seem to be working, with news outlets that are part of the royal rota reporting critically on the manipulated image.
