It was a long time coming, but Kate Middleton has decided to make some bold and clear statements about her private life.
Princess Kate discovered earlier this year that she had cancer. While battling the illness, the future Queen was swimming in a deluge of scandals and drama.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle occasionally leaked information about the unfixable state of their relationship with the sick princess.
Middleton, due to the close friendship with Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, was forced to relive the painful reports about her having an affair with Prince William because of a shocking segment on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The mother of three found herself amid a photo fiasco that had threatened to obliterate the carefully crafted image and trust she had worked to build in the past two decades.
All these events and the heartbreaking health ordeal have significantly changed Middleton and her husband, Prince William.
They have decided to ignore the advice of their advisors and aides to play it safe and adhere to the monarchy’s many royal rules and protocols.
This is why Catherine, Princess of Wales, has retaken control of her life with one video.
Princess Catherine and her entire family appeared in a mini-movie, a carefully orchestrated public statement, to announce that she had completed her chemotherapy but was not yet cancer-free.
Sources close to Middleton revealed that the film projected her love for her husband. The decision to have PG romantic scenes was to shut down all past and future chatters about affairs, infidelities, divorce, open marriage, or anything that would stain their relationship.
The Daily Mail‘s Sarah Vine explained: “There is also a strong sense here that this is not just about the Waleses as a family—but William and Kate as a couple.”
The royal journalist went on to say that it was a way to confirm that they are very much enamored with each other after all the ups and downs.
She revealed: “Here, we see a little of that love expressed physically in a way that is as unexpected as unfamiliar. They are presenting themselves not only as Royals and parents but also as sweethearts.”
According to the reporter, it was a transparent tactic to permanently move on from the infidelity stories that haunted them over the years.
Vine concluded by saying: “It’s also a tacit but highly effective rebuttal of the rumors, essentially put about on social media, that have dogged them in recent years.”
Middleton and Hanbury have been and are still close friends.
