The Army revealed the Princess of Wales’s first public appearance following her operation yesterday. It was quickly taken down, though, and Kensington Palace has not officially acknowledged this. Her uncle has chosen to keep her activities under wraps in the interim.
Although Easter was originally supposed to mark the end of Kate’s recuperation, there is still almost a month before then, and new information indicates that the princess is returning to her regular life.
Were they underestimating the needs of the people, who believe they should know rather than have a right to know? Daniela Elser claims that the paparazzi photo of Kate that was posted on TMZ’s website reveals a more complex and unhappy tale.
Was William’s Kate blackout and Kensington Palace a huge miscalculation? Was the failure of this plan inevitable in a time when the public demands more transparency and accountability? Elser posed the question in a News.com.au story. What is the appropriate amount of privacy and space that a future queen should have?
It’s distressing to note that from these fresh pictures, Kate appears to have believed she had to appear in public in order to stop the madness from spreading. The idea that the 42-year-old’s treatment plan may be changed by the online rabble seems a little strange, disturbing, and out of balance.
Elser also mentioned that Prince William had contributed to the photo’s publication. He cancelled his royal duties last week due to a “personal matter,” which at first raised concerns about Kate’s well-being.
Even though it was eventually proven to be false, Elser characterises the explanation as “purposefully vague,” so he didn’t make things any simpler for his spouse.
