Prince William's New Crisis Manager and What She'll Need to Cope With

Prince William hired crisis expert Liza Ravenscroft to address declining support, scandals, and potential media challenges amid rising republican sentiment among young Britons.

  • On Sunday, William, Prince of Wales, hired Liza Ravenscroft, senior director for crisis & risk at Edelman, to join his Kensington Palace communications team in a non-PR role recommended by Julian Payne.
  • William, Prince of Wales, faces falling support among younger Britons, with a September British Social Attitudes survey finding 67% of 16 to 24 year olds prefer an elected head of state over 30% royalists.
  • In recent years, the Andrew–Jeffrey Epstein scandal intensified as Virginia Giuffre's book and released emails renewed scrutiny, while Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor denied allegations and King Charles III stripped him of titles after a settlement.

  • Ravenscroft's LinkedIn emphasizes her experience advising high-profile clients as she wrote, 'Multinational brands have never had higher expectations nor more scrutiny when things go wrong,' and observers noted her Edelman training suits the Kensington Palace communications team.
