## Resource

A January morning brings devastating news: the Duchess of Sussex has announced a memoir scheduled for publication in six months, promising revelations that will reshape how the world understands the modern monarchy. William convenes an emergency palace meeting as he and Catherine realize they have half a year to establish a counter-narrative before the publicity machine takes over. The decision that emerges will challenge every assumption about how a monarchy communicates in the modern age.
