‘We DON’T WANT Kate Middleton to turn into Meghan Markle!’ | Palace Confidential

[@elisabethst.claire5088]

Trust me, when one person in a family is diagnosed with cancer, the WHOLE family is affected. When the treatment ends it feels like a celebration. Please just allow William, Katherine and children show their JOY!

And it actually does affect the entire family. It is too often a vicious killer of all it touches. Humans who survive should offer hope to those still fighting the awful disease, if they are able. Some are too shy. The survival rates are so much better than when I was a teenager in Nursing School. Much better.

Don't forget, when Princess Catherine made her cancer announcement alone, they were critiscised because William wasn't in it.......They can't win either way 🙄

[@Glyn-gq8ts]

Stop putting them on a pedestal please. Although privileged and enjoy a lifestyle few ever can they are of flesh and blood like us all with the same hopes and failings too.I liked that Diana showed herself to be tactile with her children and people she met regardless of their stature in society. I liked that Harry looked so at ease when mingling with “commoners”( how I hate that term!) and I liked that he and his wife held hands in public. King Charles and Camilla seem very at ease in public. Catherine and William seemed to abide by the old rules of “no displays of affection in public” ………I was happy to see them so relaxed and normal and natural. The media, or public, will criticize whatever they do so they must just be them and do what feels right for them. It was a lovely video.

I agree, a fellow American here. I also believe it’s important to show how otherwise “normal” they are as a family to the world.

As for all this foolishness about the royal family needing to retain an aura of being “special”-well, people aren’t special because they are aloof or retain an air of mystery.

The public across the world have been asking for the respect Catherine deserves. The media, even those who profess themselves as monarchist keep calling by her maiden name. When married she took the family name and the Queen gave her the title of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and the King gave her name as Catherine, Princess of Wales. The video made most of us teary eyed and thankful she and her family are doing so well, and she still was thinking of all people and their families who are, have, or going to be going through cancer!

[@meraaiki6129]

Oh please, as a cancer fighter myself, give the Wales a break! It was a lovely video celebrating a milestone. They've gone through hell & are still walking at the edge of it. This video was as much for themselves as it was giving hope to other cancer fighters. So those who say "it was not regal", sit down! It was human. And if you are human, you will be gripped by cancer in one way or another. Well done family Wales!!! And thank you for sharing. We wish you only the best of health & strenght on this tough journey.

She and her family are the ones who will face this disease. Not the press. Not anyone else. I think this video is a joyful celebration of her end of treatment. It also showed a couple that is still in love and who have survived a brush with death. This is a personal message and it does not have to follow royal protocols.

[@stuartmccall5474]

Hi, I'm certainly not defending Richard Eden, but coming from where you do and the essence within your post of what you believe the Royal Family (and more importantly the King) to be about indicates misconceptions probably held by many in the US. Arguably the main duty of the King, as Head of State, is to be the constant daily reminder to our Politicians that we "the people" elected them to look after OUR best interests and not THEIR OWN best interests, as there could be a tendency for them to do. British people are very cynical of politicians. Your comment about "country's well being" is well founded, as the RF's constant public walk-about(s) and Royal Patronage(s) visitations as well as routine openings/ etc., is a constant barometer of the "grass roots mood of the people", which Politicians and Press may wish to spin or at worse suppress. In the US, the Great & Good and Celebrities (the High Rollers) have Charity/ Foundation Dinners or Galas where their involvement is (usually) limited to opening their cheque-books for a tidy sum $$$$/£££ (which is probably tax deductible) and they then depart feeling suitably sanctimonious about themselves, with the "hard" work being done by the army of unknowns in the Towns & Cities. In Royal Patronages, most lasting for many decades, the Royal input is "time & effort" either behind the scenes or out and about highlighting what has been done and what needs to be further done, with the money to fund the activities "found quietly/discreetly behind the scenes" or by Public Appeal, usually on an Annual basis. Royal Patronages are highly sought after, as it's the "connection" with it's influence where the value is. Returning to Richard, what he and many are afraid of is that Royal Family venture down the US Celebrity route (as H&M) whereby the essence of everything is for PR and "the optics", with the outcome being both hollow, shallow and empty. God forbid we take that path. I, probably like yourself, took out of the video that is was "their" personal journey from darkness to probable light and they wished to share it with other cancer victims, albeit not in their position of privilege, but through it the Wales family has now identified and become "one of them". This is the essence of having a Royal Family and what they are about.

[@cherfromtn8225]

​@@stuartmccall5474I think this American postet understood EXACTLY the role of your royal family. You proceeded to write three paragraphs explaining WHAT THIS PERSON JUST SAID. They were saying they would like such an institution in the US. So, in general, this person was praising your monarchy. What they did NOT like (and with which I agree) is that Richard Eden was incredibly off base in thinking Catherine would ever sink to the level of low-life American celebrities (like the Kardashians.) Catherine would never create a video like the Kardashians, not ever. The Kardashians gained fame from filming one of the daughters having s#x and from having plastic surgery to increase the size of their bottoms and bosoms. They are the lowest of the low, and they in no way represent even the middle rung of American celebrity. Perhaps Richard needs to research the life (and outfits!) of the Kardashians before he opines that Catherine might go down that route. If you British truly worry that your royal family might go that low, then you obviously have no faith in their judgement and should simply abolish the institution. At least we would get rid of Harry!

It affects everyone in the family and you’re walking on eggshells until you finally get the news of all clear. This video was done to show hope, joy, resilience, strength, and the love that the family has for each other. I believe that what we saw is how they are all the time. They actually light up when they’re together as a couple and as a family. The video was also done to give others fighting this horrendous disease hope. Can’t you please allow them to bask in their happiness? Catherine can NEVER be compared to or mistaken for the California one. Catherine has more class in her little toenail than the California one has in her entire body. I think the video was as good as the one done for the coronation and their anniversary. I hope the Wales continue to do what they think is best for them and not listen to naysayers. I also hope they have many more years of love, happiness, and joy, which is what I saw. It was refreshing to see William so relaxed, happy and content. Remember, they are humans first. Geez!

I think Richard Eden needs to be sacked

It seems harsh,however, truly what he's doing to Catherine Princess of Wales and the Future King and their Beautiful family is damaging and cruel and there does need to be accountability!!!! It looks like some fans are standing up for The Wales Family!!! They are soooo loved!!!!

[@elizabethdelgado12]

Yes, someone should tell him to review his position and comments. He can easily be disliked by many as much as he was once liked!

[@ronica4803]

I loved Catherine's video. It was a beautiful celebration of Princess Catherine's completion chemo treatment. It was evidence of natural family love and appreciation of each other. The video was also a great encouragement for other cancer sufferers.

[@KateTarrant-Dean]

Why can't people just be happy for Catherine and her joy? It is beautiful that she wants to share her happiness as well as her support and encouragement for all cancer sufferers. People wants a modern family and we have one. May the healing continue, much love to them all XXX

[@catherinehensiek1941]

The video was a beautiful expression of the joy of healing in the arms of one’s family. I thought it was perfect! Shame on those stuffed shirts who don’t want to accept that the royals are human! Richard, this is the Princess of Wales’ story to tell in a way that works for her. It brought tears of happiness to many who love her and her family!

[@lyndadavies713]

Dear Lord what is Richard doing - our Princess just can’t win! Sat alone on a bench accused of being AI & William chastised for not being alongside her. Now an emotional beautiful video including her family is criticised! How dare the Middletons (Catherine’s parents) be in the film & not Their Majesties (her in-laws) Lots of people Richard ?? Really ?? Then to continue this criticism in the paper at the same time as another writer heaps praise on Harry as normal (he’s anything but) It all feels very much like The Mail has a new agenda? Thank goodness for Rebecca but her aside I’m bowing out finally giving up on any MSM

[@gailalicea1622]

💜💜Katherines video was a gift to us all who are concerned for her. And to those poo-pooing on William for showing physical affection to Katherine can they just remember this is a man who thought there may be a chance he could lose his beloved wife ! In those circumstances you want to cling to them and never let them go. Williams relief of her chemo being over and now in recovery makes him so thankful he shows he will do just that. Never let her go. They owe no apologies to those who were dismayed at seeing this gracious , thankful , happy family showing ❤ love . Just goes to show there will always be the negative naysayers one must just learn to ignor 🤷🏻‍♀️💜💜

Kate turned into Meghan ❤this part ...I enjoy the show 😂😂😂

[@paulaciciovieira5627]

Richard is just mad that Princess is skipping media and giving pictures and videos directly to public. They lost their way of earning money.

[@alabastercat7611]

​@@Brinkaaa23 no, she didn't! Princess of Wales, Catherine, cannot ever be compared with that hustler, she has more class, dignity and grace in her little finger, than that joke of a woman from Monteshitshow can ever dream to have in her entire fake persona! MM is all fake and contrive! Our beloved Princess of Wales is genuine, kind and beautiful inside out! More Megalomania tries, more fake she proves herself to be! I am tired of seeing her in the news all the time, all this PR puff pieces flooding the media daily, do her no good. More she tries to convince the public she's something that she is not, more nauseous this process becomes! She needs to go away, be private! Public wants her to be private, just like she claimed! We are so ready to give her privacy!!!!!

[@Brinkaaa23]

@paulaciciovieira5627 exactly like H&M 👍😊

[@sandratrent270]

As an American standing on the outside looking in; I would say that the video was very well done, but still dignified and respectful. I think that if the royal family is going to survive into the future and their children are not going to end up mal-adjusted as seen in the past; it is brilliant for them to show that they are in fact normal too.

[@cherfromtn8225]

I agree. Many Brits don't understand this. The remote, extremely private rules set up by the late Queen are now in the rear view mirror. We live in a fast-paced online media age. The world is a very different place. If anyone can hit the right balance between stiff royal protocol and normal relatability, it will be William and Catherine. They will have to make their own way and may not always get it 💯 right, but they will figure it out. Clearly, letting the media (both online and the mainstream press) define them, did not work out so well. Time to try something different!

[@rakellcolotta3675]

I loved Catherine’s film. It was sweet and beautiful. It’s lovely to see the affection between the family ❤

[@jessical.3356]

Just unsubscribed. Comparing Catherine to that serpent Markle? Have you lost your damn mind?! Seriously disappointing. Bye!

[@lesleypatricia]

Hear, hear! I just unsubscribed too. Disgraceful, biased "reporting" so-called, actually it's nothing more than name calling a person who has been battling cancer this year. What's next on this race to the bottom?? Thankful to be unsubscribed.
