Kate Middleton has become the captain of her ship and the decider of her journey since she suffered a terrible health ordeal.
The Princess of Wales is no longer going through advisors, secretaries, or courtiers. She is using her voice, words, and images to tell her story and share her truth, no matter how painful it might be.
This week, Catherine, Princess of Wales, who has been bashed for a Photoshop drama, reclaimed her power and dignity by unveiling an intimate video featuring her husband, Prince William, her three children — George, Charlotte, and Louis — and her parents, Michael and Carole Middleton.
The princess announced that she has completed chemotherapy and will spend the rest of her life fighting to remain cancer-free and healthy.
The video featured the heir and future queen like the world has never seen. However, then again, nothing is as it was after such a significant health scare.
The husband and wife showed complete love and support for each other during walks in the forest and while frolicking on the sand.
They were talking and laughing closely. Sharing gentle caresses, hugs, sweet touches, and whispered words of tenderness.
The video was made for many reasons, one of which was to announce to the world that they had grown closer than ever after 12 years of marriage.
They fought the most significant threats that life could have guided their way, and they are still in love.
It was also a way to let the world know that Middleton and Prince William would be doing things drastically different from King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
The Daily Beast revealed: “If the medium really is the message, then the message here was unequivocal; forget everything you think you know about the monarchy, this is what the royal family is going to look like from now on.”
Friends of the couple say the video’s other underlying yet equally important message was directed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who have given the couple hell in the past years.
One friend of Prince William and Kate Middleton told The Daily Beast: “It’s the reset to end all resets. This is Kate and William as they mean to go on. It’s family first and fk the haters, fk the press, f**k Harry and Meghan. It helps that they actually are like this. If you go to a kid’s birthday party at their house, they will be the ones organizing games for all the kids, whereas the rest of us would happily get an entertainer in and drink wine in the kitchen.”
One side is always sending a message to the other one.
