Kate Middleton has had a complicated few days, and it seems that the situation will soon get even more hectic — and it will be no fault of her own.
Princess Kate was forced to withdraw from Royal Ascot, a major horse racing event, at the last minute.
That led to a significant scrutinization of her health and light approach to work.
Insiders claimed that Catherine, Princess of Wales, recently battled cancer and was unable to handle scorching heat after making two public appearances.
Middleton was even slammed with an insane theory that she now wants to be more like Meghan Markle and periodically remove herself from royal duties for a more simple and private life.
The Palace’s confusion about why Kate Middleton skipped the horse race has been unhelpful to the princess’s image.
Moreover, Princess Kate is moving from one scandal or drama to another. This time around, it concerns Donald Trump.
The American president will travel to the UK in the fall on an official state visit. And he is already creating chaos for King Charles and the rest of the Royal Family with his loud demands for a grandiose affair, including specific requests for his accommodations and the events he will attend, and his constant threats to annex Canada, which have caused diplomatic tensions.
However, Prince William‘s wife has found herself in a strange predicament. She is torn between her duty as a member of the Royal Family and her personal beliefs, particularly in light of the controversial statements and actions of the American president.
After the stunt Queen Maxima pulled, if Kate Middleton decides to attend her meeting with Donald Trump, all eyes will be on her.
A video has gone viral showing Donald Trump in the Netherlands for the NATO summit and posing for photos with Queen Máxima and King Willem-Alexander.
According to the Daily Beast: “Trump can be seen flashing a thumbs-up and wide smile to the cameras, saying: “That’s the picture we want.” The king asked Trump if he enjoyed his stay, and the American president replied, “It was great. Thank you all very much.” At that moment, the Queen turns from Trump to the camera and mimics the president’s thank you by holding her mouth open taut, pursing her lips, and flicking her tongue several times.
Trump seemed not to notice.”
Many are applauding the Dutch Queen and hoping that Kate Middleton will be a feminist and warrior and also stand up to Trump during his trip to the UK.
Others want the future Queen to have decorum, be graceful as a royal, and be respectful to the American president.
It is a lose-lose situation for Princess Kate, whose sources have already predicted that she might not be available to attend a meet-and-greet with Trump to avoid the headlines.
A former royal staff member elaborated, telling the Daily Beast: “Kate is recalibrating her entire life, her entire work-life balance. Wednesday was a wake-up call, not a one-off. She has never found the public appearances, and the forensic attention and criticism that goes with them, at all easy to deal with, and it was just too much this week. Kate will take it much easier for the rest of the year. I’d be surprised if you see her more than three times in the next three months.”
Expect a livid Prince William to protect his wife from any chaos or drama this visit could create for her image and health.
