The British royal family is facing its most significant health crisis in recent years, with both King Charles and Kate, the Princess of Wales, currently hospitalized in London.
A puzzling aspect of Kate’s 12-day hospitalization for abdominal surgery is the absence of her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. Despite Prince William’s daily visits, the young princes and princess have yet to see their mother.
The media has respected Kate’s privacy, refraining from photographing or reporting on her hospital stay. This raises questions about why the children haven’t visited, especially considering the family’s emphasis on being devoted parents.
The Sun reported that William and Kate want to maintain a sense of normalcy for their children. However, this explanation doesn’t quite add up, especially given the weekend’s events.
Instead of visiting their mother, the children spent time with their grandparents, Carole and Michael Middleton, at their Bucklebury home. While this is a lovely gesture, one can’t help but wonder if a hug from their mother wouldn’t be more comforting.
The Waleses’ commitment to being present in their children’s lives has been well-documented. They prioritize family time, taking 19 weeks off annually for school holidays. Their new motto, “100 per cent family first, day job second,” seems at odds with the children’s absence from Kate’s hospital bedside.
Some argue that royals rarely visit each other in hospital, but this tradition is being reevaluated. Queen Camilla visited King Charles three times within 24 hours, and His Majesty made a point to see Kate during his hospital visit.
As the royal family navigates this challenging time, questions surrounding Kate’s hospitalization and the children’s absence remain unanswered. With the Waleses’ emphasis on family and the shifting royal dynamics, one can’t help but wonder what’s truly behind this unusual situation.
Perhaps, as one observer suggested, it’s time for some positive energy and a cleansing of the palace’s “bad juju.”
