Royal commentator Gareth Russell, speaking to GB News, highlighted how Prince William's decision to balance family and work mirrored Princess Diana's approach during her time as a working royal.
The criticism arose when it was revealed that Prince William, as the heir to the throne, undertook 172 engagements, while Princess Kate completed 123, a notable difference compared to Princess Anne's 457 outings. Despite being labeled as 'lazy,' the couple emphasized that their family takes precedence, echoing the late Diana's values.
Russell commented on this, stating, "This is where you very much see that William is Diana's son... You can hear it when Prince William speaks about how there's so much love and admiration for his mother."
Despite the press criticism, Prince William and Catherine seem resilient, drawing strength from the enduring impact Princess Diana had on the monarchy.
