The gossip mill keeps turning: Why havenât Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis visited their mother? After news of Kateâs health became public, Prince William, who had taken a step back from royal duties to focus on his role as a full-time dad, was spotted discreetly leaving the clinic in his $268,000 electric Audi.
Since then, heâs been making daily visits to see Kate, as confirmed by reports in The Sun and The Daily Mail. Rebecca English from The Daily Mail explained that the media agreed to respect Kateâs privacy by avoiding photographers, cameras, or journalists outside the hospital. This ensures Kate can recover peacefully while also respecting the privacy of other patients.
This arrangement would make it easy for William or even the Middletons to quietly bring George, Charlotte, and Louis to see their mom without drawing attention. So, why havenât the children been to the hospital yet?
According to The Sun, the couple wants Kateâs absence to feel as normal as possible for their kids during the weekdays, which seems reasonable. But what about the weekend? Their family home, Adelaide Cottage, is just a 45-minute drive from the hospital, so distance isnât really a factor.
A royal aide told The Sunday Times that William and Kateâs new mantra during this challenging time is âfamily first, work second.â This approach raises questionsâhow does leaving the children at home align with this philosophy?
Rebecca English suggested in The Mail that hospital visits among royals are rare. But does that argument hold up? Recent examples suggest otherwise. When King Charles arrived at the London Clinic, he went directly to see Kate, and Queen Camilla managed to visit her husband three times in a single day.
It seems the notion of royals avoiding hospital visits is a bit outdated. Maybe Camilla should grab some crystals, sage, and a shaman to cleanse any lingering bad vibes at Buckingham Palace. After all, it wouldnât hurt to clear the air!
