Royal Correspondent Becomes Buckingham Palace Adviser
Rhiannon Mills, with over 10 years covering the royals, will support royal communications amid scrutiny over Prince Andrew's Epstein links, palace sources said.
- On Friday, Sky News royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills was hired as media secretary to King Charles and Queen Camilla, joining Buckingham Palace's press office with a decade of monarchy reporting experience.
- Mounting scrutiny over Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's ties to Jeffrey Epstein and recent anti-monarchy protests at Westminster Abbey prompted the royal household to strengthen its communications strategy with experienced press personnel.
- Palace sources praised Mills for her "intelligence, quick thinking, good humor and resilience." Her partner, Andrew Parsons, works as a photographer for Prince William and Princess Kate, deepening her royal connections.
- Graham Smith, chief executive of Republic, stated he is "not keen on the idea of journalists going to work for those they were supposed to hold to account," while Kate Mansey, royal editor for The Times, called Mills the "ideal candidate."
- Mills's start date is "yet to be confirmed," though she will join the household before summer as deputy to Tobyn Andreae, director of communications for the royal household.
