Damage control and p.r. spin for the royal firm is in full swing. The various palaces are often competing fiefdoms, but they will all pull together to protect the firm's image. It's a bit quiet on the KP front (more than likely Kate will not pursue any action against Tatler, as Dennen and the publishers are not caving; a lot of people feel the so-called Turnip Toff aristos and Dennen himself are behind the subtle shade against Kate & the Middletons in the otherwise overtly praiseworthy cover article, 'Catherine the Great,' that threw rocks at the Sussexes).
To soften how bad it is looking that the firm did not speak up for Meghan against the media dragging during her pregnancy (among other obvious troubling tabloid knocks against the Sussexes, not to mention the death threats), Sophie has given an interview to London's Sunday Times in which she talks sweetly about M&H, and claims (probably with a straight face), "We all try to help any new member of the family."
That's rather suspect coming from Sophie because during M&H's senior royal farewell at the Commonwealth Day service in March, Sophie cut both Meghan and Harry dead with a very obvious cold shoulder and a peeved look on her face, which btw matched Kate's sour expression and obvious snubbing of the Sussexes. What made the snubbing by W&K and Sophie all the more obvious was the generous and friendly way the Earl of Wessex treated his nephew Harry and his niece-in-law Meghan. I was surprised by Sophie's behavior toward the Sussexes at the Commonwealth service since she'd previously displayed a friendly attitude toward Meghan in public. In any case, Meghan already told us in the South Africa documentary last October, "Not many people have asked if I'm okay."
Sophie Wessex is being pumped up hard by the firm. They rightly should have been promoting her more prominently all these years, but they didn't. Now, she's getting a lot of media coverage in the absence of M&H:
