She said Kate and William are intent on protecting the monarchy from future scandals.

The royal expert said, "A few sources have suggested that Liza Ravenscroft’s background in crisis management is the real reason she was hired.”

About the timing of Kate and William’s move, Helena said, "The timing is notable, given recent royal challenges: ex-Prince Andrew’s fall from grace, the ongoing rift with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and growing financial scrutiny of the monarch."

Helena went on telling the outlet, ‘protecting’ William and Kate from intense media scrutiny and protecting the monarchy is a ‘calculated, proactive move.’

"She will anticipate and neutralize misinterpretation before it takes hold. It’s just what the doctor ordered, allowing the Prince and Princess of Wales to concentrate on their purpose and family,” the royal expert said and added “They’re putting the monarchy first without the cloud of intense media frenzy as unprecedented bombshells drop."

The expert continued, "As they say, ‘prevention is better than cure,’" “And from the sound of it, Ravenscroft’s qualities are key — she’s worth her weight in gold."
