    They asked the public to give her privacy while she went through a health concern. The public started claiming she was dead. Fuck the public.

      They could always end the monarchy if they don’t want attention.

        Yes because it’s well known that when people leave the royal family that they’re left alone and not chased to their death in a tunnel in Paris.

            and tells the public to tighten their belt during these hard times

            Sorry. Please point me to when a member of the royal family did this?

            Don’t strawman, you said they’d get privacy if they weren’t royals, I showed you a very good example where that isn’t the case.

      They asked the public to give her privacy while she went through a health concern.

      No they didn’t, they released statements saying she was just getting her graphic design degree. Lmao

              I can’t imagine the sad things that needed to happen in your life to make you defend the British Royal Family on Lemmy in 2024. If you need to be a boot licker than at least suck Elon Musk off instead, still embarrassing but at least you’d have evolved past the 16th Century.

              Princess Kate publicly took responsibility for the manipulated family photograph released by Kensington Palace. She acknowledged experimenting with editing and apologized for any confusion caused by the image, emphasizing that she hoped everyone celebrating had a happy Mother’s Day.

                Are you confused? None of that suggests she was forced to ‘take the blame’.

                Also, not falling for weird conspiracy theories about a woman with cancer is not ‘defending the royals’.

                  My post, supported with citation and link to supporting article:

                  Princess Kate publicly took responsibility for the manipulated family photograph released by Kensington Palace.

                  The actual message posted from the Princess’s twitter account:

                  Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C
