How far have Britain's media and their coverage of the Monarchy facilitated the royal rebrand?
2018 has been a big year in a momentous decade for the British royal family. Thewedding in May between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was the latest in a string of celebrations that included Prince William's wedding to Kate Middleton in 2011, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee the following year, and three royal births. Together, these events have helped Buckingham Palace revolutionise its image for the 21st century.
But how far have Britain's media and their coverage of such spectacles facilitated the royal rebrand? While the House of Windsor represents little more than a celebrity fairy tale for most international journalists, for Britain's fourth estate, the monarchy is a very real public institution with continuing political privileges. In short, one worthy of scrutiny. Yet, scrutiny isn't a term commonly associated with royal reporting in Britain.
