Despite the controversy, Kate Middleton remains a favorite among the British public. A recently published Ipsos poll revealed that Kate is the UK’s favorite royal, with 38 percent of Brits favoring her. Even among women and the older age group (aged 55-75), Kate has significant popularity.
Royal experts have criticized the palace for not protecting Kate and handling the situation poorly. Hilary Fordwich emphasized the need for media-savvy staff and a stronger public relations strategy. Meanwhile, author Tom Bower accused the palace of failing to support and protect Kate during this challenging time. He highlighted the pressure she has been under and urged the royal family to focus on Kate’s recovery rather than releasing more pictures.
Kate Middleton has faced criticism before and has learned to navigate through challenging situations. In a 2011 interview, she spoke about the importance of staying true to oneself and not being swayed by negative comments. Kate’s willingness to learn quickly and work hard has been evident since her entry into the royal family. As the controversy unfolds, the key question remains: when will the public get to see Kate Middleton in public again?
