Prince William is battening down the hatches — and RadarOnline.com can reveal the future king has quietly hired a top-tier crisis communications “fixer” to shield the monarchy from scandal, chaos, and a family drama that refuses to die.
As the royal family teeters under mounting pressure, the 43-year-old Prince of Wales has brought in seasoned spin doctor Liza Ravenscroft, a PR heavyweight known behind the scenes by a striking nickname: “bulletproof sunshine.”
Sources say her mission is nothing short of monumental — protect William’s reputation, neutralize incoming crises, and guide him to the throne without the explosive public meltdowns that have rocked the House of Windsor over the past year.
And the timing couldn’t be more telling.
The palace is still reeling from the reputational wreckage surrounding Prince Andrew and his toxic ties to Jeffrey Epstein, while whispers grow louder over whether Prince Harry could return to the U.K. with taxpayer-funded security — a move insiders warn would ignite fresh outrage.
Add to that the deeply personal strain of cancer battles faced by William’s wife Catherine and his father, King Charles III, and palace watchers say the royal household is operating in permanent crisis mode.
Enter Ravenscroft.
Kensington Palace insiders describe her as a “last line of defense” — a calm, ruthless strategist hired to keep William’s path to power spotless while preventing the monarchy from tearing itself apart in public.
With more than two decades of experience managing reputational disasters, Ravenscroft most recently served in a senior crisis role at global PR giant Edelman, joining the firm’s U.K. crisis and risk team in late 2024. Before that, she handled high-stakes controversies for multinational brands and powerful institutions — often stepping in when careers, fortunes, and legacies were on the line.
One former colleague said her now-famous nickname wasn’t an exaggeration.
“She walks into absolute chaos with a smile — and leaves it under control,” the source said. “She’s relentlessly positive, but she’s also unshakeable. Nothing rattles her.”
Behind palace walls, Ravenscroft is expected to help shape William’s long-game image — not just managing daily press, but future-proofing the crown itself.
That includes navigating the couple’s increasingly direct approach to public messaging, a shift accelerated during Catherine’s illness and following the firestorm over a 2024 Mother’s Day photo that sparked global backlash over digital manipulation.
Sources say William is determined never to be blindsided like that again.
“She’s not there to fight the press,” one insider said. “She’s there to outthink them.”
Former colleagues describe Ravenscroft as ego-free but lethal when it comes to strategy.
“She doesn’t slam doors or issue threats,” one industry source revealed. “She finds pressure points. She understands journalists, public mood, and timing — and she uses that knowledge to control outcomes.”
Another insider called her “the calm in the eye of a royal hurricane,” adding: “When everything feels like it’s about to explode, she’s already five steps ahead.”
With scandals simmering, family fractures unresolved, and the crown inching closer, William’s quiet recruitment of a crisis heavyweight sends a clear message: the future king is done playing defense.
This time, he’s playing to win — and he’s determined to reach the throne without blood on the palace floor.
It’s funny that what should have been done when Harry was asking for to protect Megan from the scandals, tabloids etc. NOW William to trying to get help to handle these same problems. It ironic how the tables are turning now.
Sounds like “The Firm” has brought in a combination of Rambo & Mary Poppins !
