Prince William has concluded that people will talk and ink will be spilled no matter what he does. That brutal reality has pushed the heir to the British throne to do things his way.
Case in point: not appearing in the video announcement with Kate Middleton when she revealed that she had been diagnosed with cancer.
The video of the future Queen of England revealing her illness sparked headlines all over the world. It also led to many questions — some serious ones, such as what preventive treatments she is receiving and what kind of cancer she is battling.
However, it also birthed some silly inquiries, like why the flowers were not moving in the background and why Prince William refused to appear in the clip.
It has been confirmed that Prince William was not present when his wife sat with the BBC crew to film the video.
Royal sources told The Times: “William was not present during the filming of Kate’s clip, as it is understood that the princess wanted to record it on her own. However, insiders said that she believed her recovery had been enormously helped by the daily support of her husband.”
A Kensington Palace spokesman declined to give more information about the decision but did say that Prince William is beyond proud of his spouse.
The representative stated: “The prince will continue to balance supporting his wife and family and maintaining his official duties as he has done since the start of the year.”
Royal experts believe that there is a simple explanation for Prince William’s whereabouts when Middleton was recording the message.
The tear-jerking and heart-melting truth is that Prince William has been caring for his three young children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, while Middleton rests and undergoes treatment.
The future King has also made it a top priority to drop off and pick up his children from school every day.
Hello reports: “The Prince of Wales has made a point of taking his children to and from Lambrook School in Berkshire every day since his wife, the Princess of Wales, fell ill. In this week’s issue of the magazine, out now, we reveal the extent to which William, 41, has planned his diary around the children’s school pick-up and drop-off times. The hands-on dad has been determined to make his family a priority, now more than ever, and is fitting in royal visits and engagements around the school day.”
It went on to share: “William’s scheduled appearances since his return to work in early February were timed so that the father-of-three could drop off his children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, at Lambrook School first before carrying out his royal duties.”
The Prince of Wales keeps his focus on the important things.
