Reading that Courtiers were actively involved in manipulating the Sussexes is hardly news, however, the information shows that they were manipulating the actual working members of the royal family. It is not their job to prevent communication between members of the Royal Family and obfuscate or just not pass on the message.I take it then that readers of this book will come away with the impression that the courtiers who formulated the arrangement by which the Sussexes left the RF were 100% correct in all their arrangements and the Sussexes were 100% in the wrong, with no shades of grey, no flexibility shown by either side, in spite of Low’s assertions about at least one or two of the courtiers’ methods.
The idea was first mooted(by the late Diana) and dismissed by the BRF that the Courtiers were interfering in not just the business of state but in family life itself seems to have been validated. All the while they were passing on both verbal and formal press releases. Worse, they also routinely participated in passing information on the qt to their journo of choice, all of which proves that the Courtiers (or little grey men) were habitually and routinely manipulating the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William. This is just plain wrong on so many levels.
We have no reason to suspect that these trusted aides will cease this behaviour during the reign of King Charles III as it allows them to "influence" the King and his Heir and in effect strive to be the power behind the throne. Valentine Low's book merely proves what all the conspiracy theorists thought and consequently that it is way past time to clean house at the palaces.
I don't know about the government but I think the people will not be content to think that what is coming out of the BRF is the carefully crafted words and opinions of nameless, faceless, little grey men and women, rather than their King or the Prince of Wales.
