The royal palace released a list of never-before-seen images of the British family.
The British royal family continues to be the focus of attention, even amid the health problems faced by the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, and King Charles himself. Now, the crown has revealed a new photographic exhibition that includes an image of Kate that has alarmed her followers.
"Royal Portraits: A Century of Photography" will be the exhibition that opened this May 17 at the King's Gallery of Buckingham Palace. The exhibition featured more than 150 snapshots, some never before seen or published, that portray the evolution of real photography over the last century.
Among the works on display, a photograph of the Princess of Wales has been leaked and has sparked a stir among her fans. "I thought Kate had died when I saw the first slide", "Oh God, I thought something had happened to her", were some of the alarmed comments from the Princess' followers.
And the absence of the future king's wife from the public sphere in recent months, after her cancer diagnosis was revealed, has generated great concern among her admirers, who demand to know her whereabouts and her health status. Unfortunately, the British monarchy has maintained a disturbing secrecy about the princess's situation.
In addition to Kate's striking image, the exhibition also featured other controversial pieces, such as a 1985 color silkscreen of the late Queen Elizabeth, made by Andy Warhol and using "diamond dust." Likewise, the numerous jewels displayed by royal members in some of the photographs have been criticized.
"The world is on 🔥, who cares about the never-before-seen photos of the 'royal' family," said one of the most critical users of the new display of the British crown. And, in the midst of the delicate health situation of Kate Middleton and King Charles, the monarchy seems determined to maintain her image of luxury and glamor, without addressing the legitimate concerns of her subjects.
In short, the leak of this shocking photograph of the Princess of Wales has caused great concern among her fans, who continue to demand answers and transparency about the whereabouts and state of health of the Princess of Wales. The British crown will have to carefully weigh the costs of its secrecy in the face of mounting public pressure.
