Introducing Dynasty

The current royal family, divided in so many ways, begins with a firmly unified front: Philip and Elizabeth. The couple’s steadfastness is as trademark as the royal corgis—but look a little closer and you see piles of dirt pathologically brushed under the rug. Who they were as spouses and parents, rather than public figures, not only shaped the family brand, but how the world got to know Charles, Diana, and everything after.

Clash of the Titans: The Global Press vs. the Royals

The British royal family is sometimes referred to as “The Firm” – the time-honored, drama-tested machinery that refines, defines and helps control the family’s public image. The inner forces are shadowy—perhaps that’s what led King George VI to coin the phrase in the first place even to the family’s highest-profile members. So how exactly does The Firm work, and who is in it?
