Omid Scobie, RIP PR and Ridley v the historians
David Yelland and Simon Lewis discuss Omid Scobie’s Royal book Endgame, obituary PR and the battle between director Ridley Scott and historians over Napoleon.
This week David Yelland and Simon Lewis go behind the scenes as the Royal Family tries to cope with Omid Scobie’s new book Endgame, which appears to be from "Team Meghan".
When is "no comment" the best strategy? David and Simon delve into the never-talked about world of obituary PR and reveal the horse-trading and lobbying that goes on behind closed doors.
And the battle being fought between Ridley Scott and historians over the film Napoleon – should facts get in the way of a good story?
