The silence of the future queen of England was very expensive for the royal family.
Kate Middleton's silence has generated a credibility crisis, leaving the monarchy in a delicate position. In the absence of the princess due to a "scheduled abdominal surgery", speculation has been unleashed about her health, her marriage and even her possible lovers.
Finally, the Princess of Wales confirmed in a video that she is receiving treatment for cancer, revealing the truth behind her prolonged absence from her. Given this, many have wondered what Queen Elizabeth would think about this uncertainty. We know that the remembered monarch known for her zeal in keeping up appearances would surely be dismayed by the current situation.
The infamous edited photo and rumors surrounding Kate Middleton have weakened the credibility of the Royal Family. King Charles's honesty about her diagnosis contrasts with the Princess of Wales's delay in speaking openly about her illness, which has generated public distrust.
Now, Kate faces not only her cancer treatment, but also the task of rebuilding her public image and regaining the trust of her followers. Her initial silence and lack of transparency have come at a high cost to the Crown, which is plagued by rumors and uncertainty.
In the midst of this crisis, the Princess of Wales must find a way to reconcile with the public and move forward with her treatment, away from the spotlight and with the support of her family.
