The silence surrounding Princess Kate’s absence and photo scandal has caused a crisis within Kensington Palace, with the communication team being labeled a “laughingstock” by royal expert Robert Jobson.
Limited statements from the palace regarding Kate’s health and surgery have only fueled online rumors and criticism. Despite this, the palace is sticking to its original plan for Kate’s recovery and return to public duties after Easter.
Kate herself publicly apologized for the photo editing controversy, demonstrating her willingness to take personal responsibility for the situation. The small and close-knit team at Kensington Palace is behind the decisions being made in handling this crisis.
It has been revealed that there are different communications teams for various members of the royal family, including separate teams for William and Kate, and Charles and Camilla. Charles’ more public approach to his cancer diagnosis contrasts with William and Kate’s quieter approach.
The couple’s past experiences and desire for privacy are informing their handling of the crisis. William’s history with Princess Diana’s media intrusion is also influencing his desire to protect his own family from paparazzi and media scrutiny.
As the silence continues, speculation and rumors are swirling around Kensington Palace. With the communication team under fire, it remains to be seen how the royal family will navigate this crisis and protect their privacy moving forward.
