TRG found this interesting
TRG reads here.
I know this because they took some of my cartoons that I only ever posted in here.
So, TRG, regarding the "late" posting of the Louis pic - our Royal family for years have an understanding with the British media.
Newspaper deadline is 9pm.
If a story is to go in the morning papers, it needs to be on the editor's desk before 9pm.
There are first edition print runs and then slightly later ones, but if a photo or story is not put out there for the press to use before 9pm, it doesnt go in their morning papers.
The Louis photo timing was to make sure it couldnt be included in the print runs. So no morning papers could feature it.
This means that the media lose out on possible sales that could have been made by inclusion of the pic in their printed media.
William and Catherine could have sent the pic to the papers way before 9pm on the eve of his birthday.
They chose not to.
This needs to be made clear to the two presenters in that clip and also to other people who may not realise this.
TRG please use your platform to help quell all these rumours about things being hidden.
Royal family official pic releases and statements are always traditionally timed to get in the first print runs or on the 6pm news bulletins.
First class example - the Queen's death. We all knew but the official announcements were delayed until the traditional teatime news bulletins.
That's how it has been for years.
So by William and Catherine deliberately putting out that photo on their own social media when it was too late to go to print, we can assume it was to prevent the media from cashing in.
Their reasons for going against tradition?
Hmmmm, could it be because of the crazy OTT reaction to the Mother's Day pic?
Have the press scored an own goal?
Probably.
