Jack Royston and Kristen Meinzer discussed the royals' 'never complain, never explain' motto in a new episode of Newsweek's 'The Royal Report' podcast.
Although the queen has very rarely issued corrections to the press, she has not adopted the reactionary and defensive stance that others in her family have.
According to Royston,"Harry's perspective on all of this is that you have to take a moral stand on it and the queen, to me, feels like she tends to view these things predominantly from a reputational perspective and the queen plays the long game. What she is interested in is her reputation over time."
"Sometimes I think she plays the long game wrong" Meinzer responded to Royston,"that was especially true when Princess Diana died in that paparazzi car chase and the queen and the family they stayed in Scotland in the immediate aftermath of that, and the world wanted to know 'when is the queen going to address this tragedy, when is she going to speak up about it'... and it went on for days.
"Knowing the good and the bad of complaining and explaining, what do you think the royal family should be doing moving forward?" she asked Royston. "I think that they do have to be very careful about getting drawn into an argument because it can definitely elevate the status of some quite trivial stories," he said."But really this is about assessing how powerful and impactful the allegations against them are.
