Prince William and Princess Kate have a new manager on their communications team, and she has an interesting professional history that has raised some eyebrows. Liza Ravenscroft previously specialized in “crisis management,” and worked as a crisis management expert for major corporate businesses. She is said to have specialized in working “arm in arm with big names facing their toughest times,” which has many wondering why Prince William and Princess Kate hired her.
“Why on earth would the Prince and Princes of Wales need a crisis manager when they are the calm amid the royal storm?” Richard Eden asked in The Daily Mail. A representative from Kensington Palace was quick to stress that “Liza is joining in a non-crisis-based role in the KP press office, working on the day-to-day press interaction Kensington Palace had” and explained that “people who work in communications for the Royal Household come from an array of backgrounds.”
