LONDON: The absence of support from male members of the British royal family for Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, amidst a recent controversy over a manipulated photograph, has sparked discussions everywhere.
Amidst backlash over a manipulated photograph involving Kate Middleton, the Duchess faced criticism, with the AFP withdrawing trust in Kensington Palace, and Instagram adding a warning to the controversial image.
Royal commentator Daniela Elser highlighted Prince William’s notable absence from publicly supporting his wife during the ordeal. Despite reportedly being the one to capture the photograph, Prince William did not offer visible support, leaving Kate to issue an unprecedented apology alone.
King Charles, amidst his ongoing health challenges, also refrained from providing visible support to the Duchess during the controversy.
Elser’s commentary drew attention to historical parallels, referencing Queen Jane’s plight, who faced abandonment even by her own father during her brief reign in England.
