Following the controversy over altered photos, royal expert Hilary Fordwich criticized the palace for failing to better protect Kate Middleton.
Fordwich attributed the incident to a lack of experience and highlighted the importance of having media-savvy leadership within the monarchy.
While acknowledging Middleton’s apology as a genuine gesture, Fordwich advised the palace to employ top-tier experts to manage modern media challenges.
Similarly, author Tom Bower accused the palace of mishandling the situation and neglecting Middleton’s well-being.
He stressed the importance of supporting Middleton, especially as she recovers from surgery.
Bower urged the palace to shield her from undue stress and warned against releasing further photos. Both experts emphasized the ongoing criticism of Middleton and the monarchy’s vulnerability to external pressures.
