Royal correspondent
Jennie Bond discussed
Prince William's latest hire.
"Whatever the reason, it seems like a shrewd move," Bond said, per
Daily Express.

"Crises crop up with relentless regularity in the royal family, and to have someone skilled at heading them off, or at least being prepared and fully briefed to deal with the situation, is basic good PR," Jennie Bond continued.

Prince Harry's complaints about royal life and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's involvement in the
Jeffrey Epstein scandal placed a dark cloud over the Crown. However,
Prince William is seemingly preparing for the future of the monarchy and its public image.
"This could be one of the changes William intends to pursue: ensuring his team is ahead of the game, fully proactive and not allowing 'events, dear boy' to destabilize the monarchy," Jennie Bond noted.

"There are still some difficult and testing situations on the horizon: what next for Andrew, and will Harry and Meghan be knocking on William's door? The future King has his work cut out — and it's now up to Liza Ravenscroft to smooth the path ahead," Jennie Bond continued.
