Couple to bypass ‘royal rota’ and focus instead on social media, ‘credible outlets’ and young journalists
The Duke and
Duchess of Sussex have announced they are to radically change media access to their official engagements, and will no longer participate in the traditional “royal rota” system, escalating their war against
British tabloids.
The royal rota system has been used by Buckingham Palace for decades, allowing access to royal engagements to accredited correspondents on
UK newspapers on a sharing pool basis to ensure maximum press coverage with minimum interference to the engagement itself.
