“Leave Kate alone.” English tabloids come to Kate Middleton’s rescue

Has the “Perfect Kate” fairy tale turned into a nightmare? The Princess of Wales, a commoner from Berkshire, who became the future Queen of England, recently lived in her glory hours, weathering all storms; Storm Megxit, William’s alleged infidelities with one Rose Hanbury, his parents’ bankruptcy. The company Party Pieces, Meghan Markle’s battles, Harry’s memoirs… Everything seemed to slide on Kate Middleton’s 1.75 m height. But this time, he might have made his first real misstep by broadcasting his fake family portrait. A sign that the famous princess has something to hide? At this point, the communication strategy is puzzling. As much as the deafening silence about Kate’s health, which has only whetted the appetite of everyone deprived of an official presence since her hospitalization in late January…

The error is bad throughout the channel. Critics are pouring in and decrying the lack of transparency from Kensington Palace, Kate and William’s office. And this even if the princess turned him connect fault: after the publication of the photo, admitting that he had retouched it. Too late!

“Leave Kate alone”

Fortunately, Kate Middleton still has support. And no less. Many are found in the tabloids, which are usually so quick to sugarcoat the backs of celebrities and royal families. “All the young ladies, thanks to fairy tales and Disney, who still dream of growing up and marrying a handsome prince, can’t help but be dismayed by what Kate Middleton has endured,” begins columnist Polly Hudson’s post. Mirror. Then to denounce the ruthlessness which falls upon the beloved daughter-in-law of Charles III. [célèbre talkshow diffusé sur ITV, NDLR] With Cat and Ben tucked under a blanket on the couch, social media trolls began a frenzied campaign of conspiracy theories.”

The journalist A mirror concludes his column unequivocally, pleading for release. “Yes, they are kings and queens, princes and princesses, but they are also human. And just like us, they cry and bleed and don’t want complete strangers to know the details of their medical procedures. So leave Kate alone.”

“He had good intentions”

Same story traditionally in sulfur columns Tea Sun who remembers Kate as “an ordinary girl from home circles [expression servant à désigner les comtés anglais situés autour de Londres, NDLR] in the spotlight and leading a life of public debt through her relationship with William” and that this is her first real misstep. “He had good intentions, made a mistake and admitted. Now let him recover after the operation,” we read again.

In Tea Audience , the conservative magazine, writer Brendan O’Neill cynically congratulates everyone who “ruined” the Princess of Wales’s Mother’s Day. “I hope you are proud of yourself. A young mom posts a cute photo of herself surrounded by her beaming babies, and instead of going “Ahhh,” you scrutinize it like mad detectives looking for evidence of photoshop. Result: the mother apologizes. To do something good. Mother’s Day.” Condemning the “crazy obsession” caused by this photo of Kate and her children, which has already been called “Kategate”, the columnist invites: haters get off the internet. And remember, international news is more important than this case, which shouldn’t be. “Oh, hold on tight! There’s war in Europe and the Middle East, an energy crisis, a lame-duck government limping toward defeat, and people waiting five days in the emergency room to see a nurse, and you’re still ranting about a princess who slightly misplaced her daughter’s arm. retouching a family photo.
