Kate Middleton breaks from longstanding royal tradition by openly addressing her battle with cancer.
In a significant departure from the royal family's traditional stance of maintaining silence on personal matters, Kate Middleton publicly disclosed her cancer diagnosis last week.
During an episode of True Royalty TV's "The Royal Beat," royal expert Duncan Larcombe highlighted the groundbreaking nature of Middleton's public announcement. He stated, "This marks a departure from the age-old mantra of 'never complain, never explain.' It seems we're now entering an era where the royals are more willing to provide explanations."
Larcombe further commented, "This signals a potential shift in the royal family's communication strategy. In the future, we may see the Palace addressing controversies rather than remaining silent."
Putting an end to rampant speculation, the Princess of Wales revealed her health status, just two months after undergoing abdominal surgery in January.
Earlier this month, Middleton faced criticism for allegedly altering a photo featuring her and her children, shared on the Waleses' social media platform on Mother's Day.
PR and crisis management expert Edward Coram-James shared his insights with The Mirror, stating, "The most effective way to quell the controversy would have been to refrain from responding."
Coram-James elaborated, "By addressing the criticisms in her subsequent statement, the Princess inadvertently gave them more weight and attention."
