Princess of Wales’ absence sparks backlash as William and Catherine share their own message
King Charles has sparked disappointment among royal fans after Catherine was noticeably absent from the royal family’s International Women’s Day tribute, leading to widespread reactions online.
On March 8, Buckingham Palace marked the occasion by sharing a series of images honouring prominent royal women, including Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, and Duchess Sophie. However, Catherine’s exclusion did not go unnoticed.
Royal followers expressed their frustration in the comments. One fan wrote, “I’m sad to see no Princess of Wales.” Another questioned, “Where is the Princess of Wales?” while a third appeared shocked, stating, “Wow. Nothing about the Princess of Wales?”
Some expressed deeper frustration, with one commenter criticising the omission, saying, “Not the mother of the future king? No respect.”
Shortly after the royal family’s post, William and Catherine shared their own tribute on Instagram, posting images of inspiring women with the caption: “Here are just a few of the women who have inspired us in the past 12 months.”
While Buckingham Palace has not addressed the matter, Catherine’s absence from the official tribute has fueled speculation about tensions within the royal family.
