Buckingham Palace has appointed Rhiannon Mills as communications
\nsecretary to King Charles III and Queen Camilla, in a move that
\nbrings one of Britain\u2019s most experienced royal broadcasters into
\nthe heart of the monarchy\u2019s media operation.<\/p>\n
Ms Mills, 46, will leave her role at Sky News to take up the
\nposition at Buckingham Palace before the summer. She has covered
\nthe Royal Family for more than a decade, reporting extensively on
\nengagements at home and overseas and building close professional
\nfamiliarity with senior members of the House of Windsor.<\/p>\n
Her appointment comes at a delicate moment for the institution,
\nas it continues to navigate reputational challenges and heightened
\npublic scrutiny. Recent controversy surrounding Prince Andrew and
\nhis past association with Jeffrey Epstein, alongside protests by
\nthe campaign group Republic, has underscored the importance of
\nclear and effective communication from the palace.<\/p>\n
A seasoned correspondent, Ms Mills has reported from across the
\nglobe, accompanying royal tours to Asia, Africa, the Middle East
\nand Australasia. Her coverage has included high-profile moments
\nsuch as the birth of the Prince and Princess of Wales\u2019s first child
\nat St Mary\u2019s Hospital in 2015, as well as interviews with senior
\nroyals including Prince Harry and Prince William.<\/p>\n
Known for her measured but occasionally candid analysis, she
\npreviously suggested that a policy of silence by the Royal Family
\nrisked failing to contain controversy in the wake of the Duke and
\nDuchess of Sussex\u2019s interview with Oprah Winfrey.<\/p>\n
In her new role, Ms Mills will be responsible for shaping the
\npublic messaging of the King and Queen, overseeing announcements
\nand supporting the planning of official engagements and overseas
\nvisits. Palace sources described her as bringing \u201ca wealth of
\nbroadcasting and digital storytelling experience\u201d combined with
\n\u201cdeep knowledge of royal matters\u201d.<\/p>\n
She succeeds Laura Sullivan, who has departed for a role in the
\nprivate sector, and will report to Tobyn Andreae as part of the
\nsenior communications team.<\/p>\n
