A few weeks ago I read a commentary in the Independent on the health update video from Catherine, Princess of Wales.
What started as an inner dialogue of questions I’d like to ask the author turned into, what if I asked the author?
So I reached out to Anna Pasternak and, much to my delight, she replied and we set up a time to chat.
This is a result of our conversation, which covers everything from the unspoken contract between the British Royal Family and the British media, who gave Daily Mail the tip-off about the Tatler settlement, the contract between the BRF and the British media, what made her change her mind about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the future of the monarchy, and why she is so passionate about rehabilitating Wallis Simpson for the history books.
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it with Anna.
To read more of Anna Pasternak’s writing, visit her website.
Pick up her incredible biography on Wallis Simpson wherever books are sold.
Referenced in the conversation is my Turnip Toff Timeline, you can find that piece here.
Huge thank you to my editor and producer for this project, Brian Coburn. If you’re looking for any type of audio or video production/post-production, etc., shoot him an email at briancoburnproductions@gmail.com
Who would have thought 15 years later that you’d end up working with your summer swim coach for a conversation on royal relationships with the press, Brian. :)
Thanks again to Anna.
