The Defuse Podcast - High Profile Communication with Ailsa Anderson
Ailsa Anderson is the person the most high profile in the world go to when they require the composite professional manage their communications.
In this podcast Ailsa shared anecdotes from her time working the UK Government and Alistair Campbell, the Late Her Majesty the Queen and more recently the Archbishop of Canterbury, the head of the Anglican Church.
Ailsa talks about how decisions about when to respond or not were made and why, the changing landscape of communications and the importance of it being a team event involving security professionals, event hosts and others.
Whilst Ailsa is far to diplomatic and discrete to discuss the current saga involving the current Duke and Duchess of Sussex, she does touch on issues such as briefing against members of The Royal family and gives a moving tribute to the late Her Majesty the Queen.
Ailsa Anderson was Communications and Press Secretary to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II from 2001 to 2013.
A former newspaper Journalist, Ailsa moved into public relations and worked as a press officer for the British Government.
During her time in the Royal Household she worked on two Jubilees, the wedding of the current Prince and Princess of Wales, and the birth of Prince George.
She was awarded the Royal Victorian Order in 2011 for her services to the Royal Household.
She now is a Royal commentator for the US broadcaster ABC News and reported extensively during the death and funeral of The Queen.
