Times have taken a strange turn this month as both King Charles and Princess Kate find themselves in the same London hospital. The Crown Inc. is facing its worst health crisis since the infamous lobster thermidor incident. But the mystery deepens. Where are the royal children?
It has been 12 days since Princess Kate underwent abdominal surgery at the London Clinic. And for 12 days, her three young children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—have not seen their mother. One would expect the little ones to visit their mom, but that hasn’t happened.
Prince William, having taken on full-time dad duties, has been seen leaving the Clinic through the back exit in his fancy electric Audi. Reports from the Sun and the Daily Mail claim that the prince has been visiting his wife daily. But what about their children?
And what about Kate’s devoted parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and her siblings Pippa Matthews and James Middleton? They share a close bond, with James even stating that Kate supported him during his battle with severe depression. Surely, they would want to see her too.
It’s not a matter of protecting the kids from intrusive media either. The press has agreed to respect Kate’s privacy during her recovery. So, William or the Middletons could easily bring the children to visit their mom without any unwanted attention.
The Sun offers one possible explanation, stating that William and Kate want the children’s lives to feel as normal as possible during this time. That’s understandable on weekdays, but what about the weekend?
Surprisingly, the children did not visit their mother. Instead, they spent time at their grandparents’ home in Bucklebury, where, I assume, they enjoyed some countryside adventures. While being spoiled by their doting grandparents with sticky buns and sweet treats is lovely, isn’t a warm hug from their mom even better?
