Hello, Royal Watchers!
Even though we don't see much of the Royal Family anymore, they're still making headlines, some of which are shedding a poor light on certain members.
Take, for example, Tatler magazine's recent cover story of the Duchess of Cambridge, which claims that Catherine feels even more "exhausted and trapped" by her royal duties ever since the Duke and Duchess of Sussex left the Royal Family.
"Kate is furious about the larger workload. Of course she's smiling and dressing appropriately but she doesn't want this. She feels exhausted and trapped," a source told the magazine. After the issue was released, Kensington Palace issued a rare rebuttal, calling out the story's "false misrepresentations." More on that below.
But if we really want to talk about Royal Family members who are not living up to royal standards, we must talk about Prince Andrew. This week, Netflix released their documentary on the late financier and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. The Duke of York makes an appearance in the doc: the two were close friends and one of Epstein's victims claims that she was forced to have sex with the prince on multiple occasions when she was a teenager. It's a harrowing story that deserves more scrutiny from the press and public.
And with that, we hope you have a happy and safe weekend, Royal Watchers 👑👑 |
