The British Royal Family in the 21st Century

With Miguel Head, Spring 2019 Joan Shorenstein Fellow and former Chief of Staff to Prince William and Prince Harry

The British Royal Family remains one of the most trusted and popular institutions in the United Kingdom, a position of trust it has held consistently throughout the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Miguel Head, former Chief of Staff to Prince William and Prince Harry, will look at what the Royal Family is for in a democratic, cosmopolitan, 21st century nation, how it goes about its ancient work in a modern context, and how it is preparing itself for the future. A talk about the Royal Family that promises to be light on who’s wearing what, and heavy on why they do what they do.
