Duchess Catherine + Prince William: Charm offensive puts Harry in his place

Prince William + Duchess Catherine
Please smile! You are sending a clear message to Meghan and Harry

Actually, Duchess Catherine (39) and Prince William (39) should long ago have passed the laughter. The past few months have drained her nerves. The revelations of the once loved and esteemed family member Prince Harry (36) and his wife Duchess Meghan (39) deeply shook the eldest son of Prince Charles (72) in particular. Now his talkative brother announces the publication of his memoir. The trembling of further revelations behind the royal walls is palpable. But the Cambridges will not be intimidated.

Duchess Catherine and Prince William impress with their charisma and emotionality

On the contrary, the couple smiles and is close to the people. “William and Kate kept a dignified silence, but now they let their actions speak for themselves,” author Duncan Larcombe analyzes the Royals’ charm offensive against “Closer”.

“It’s almost like sending Harry and Meghan a secret message saying, ‘We’re going to move on, we’re still here, we’re not giving in, we are moving on.'” It was a message to him younger brother and brother-in-law that life goes on turning – with or without him.

The charisma of the Cambridges speaks for the success of their mission. This was already evident during the European Championship finals in London’s Wembley Stadium on July 11, 2021. Together with Prince George (7), the Royals delighted the whole world. Her clearly legible emotional roller coaster ride during the exciting encounter between the English national team and Italy united her with the fans in her heart. A folk passion that has long been missing from Harry, who lives in the USA. The renegade royal has only caught his compatriots’ attention with scandalous interviews since he left his duties as a senior royal and emigrated.

Clear message to Prince Harry and the world

Prince William, on the other hand, relies on subtle political messages that are supposed to dismiss his brother’s statements as nonsensical. While Harry in an interview with US talker Oprah Winfrey (67) indicated that his wife should have felt racist tendencies in Buckingham Palace, his brother publicly demonstrates the opposite. When, after the missed penalties by the “Three Lions” in the European Championship final, three English national players were insulted in the worst possible way, he immediately responded with a clear message:

“I am disgusted by the racial abuse against the English players after yesterday’s game. It is totally unacceptable that the players have to endure this hideous behavior. It must stop now and everyone should be held accountable.”

Clear words when asked and emotional gestures whenever they seem appropriate – these are the ingredients of the Cambridge Mission on behalf of the royal family. “William and Kate are definitely on the charm offensive right now – and it’s working,” says Duncan. The couple are always beaming and happy.

“Darlings of the Nation”

In the meantime, thanks to their “calm and dignified manner”, they have apparently acquired a status “as darlings of the nation”, attests the royal expert Katie Nicholl. “You have stepped up,” the journalist praised the two royals.

With this, the couple obviously want to prove that they don’t feel tied up by the royal system. Unlike Harry, who stated during his explosive March interview, “I was trapped myself. I saw no way out. I was trapped, but I didn’t know I was trapped.”

An image that he transferred to his family in the course of the conversation with Oprah. “My father and brother are trapped. They are not allowed to go,” claimed the sixth in line to the British throne. A thesis that William apparently cannot confirm. He did not feel trapped in the system of the British monarchy, it was said as a reaction from the royal environment of the future heir to the throne. His brother’s allegations are simply “very wrong”. On the contrary: he “accepted” his role and the path set for him, is the impression of author Penny Junor: “I think Prince William has absolutely understood what his fate is and he accepts it.”
