ＴＨＥ ＲＯＹＡＬ ＣＨＲＯＮＩＣＬＥＳ : The engagement interview .* :☆ﾟ｡ ･

Following, the photocall at St. James' Palace, Catherine & William sat down for their first-ever joint interview with ITV's Tom Bradby (we don't like him now) answering questions from the UK Press Association. They spoke about their their relationship, the proposal in Kenya, and their plans for the upcoming wedding and future.

When asked about William's proposal, Catherine mentioned that Mr. Wales is actually 'a true romantic' at heart.

Will mentioned how important it was to have his late mother be a part of his new path in life and proposing with her ring was his 'way of keeping her close to it all'

Catalina expressed, 'I truly hope to make a difference, even in the smallest way.' Little did she know that her work over the past 13 years would eclipse all expectations, & enrich lives and inspire change in ways both grand and subtle.

William, who always has always been Husband™️ remarked 'Kate will do a very good job' and how right he was ♡

“The Prince and Princess are both enormously touched by the kind messages from people here in the UK, across the Commonwealth and around the world in response to Her Royal Highness' message.
They are extremely moved by the public's warmth and support and are grateful for the understanding of their request for privacy at this time."

- A statement from Kensington Palace (this statement is the last we will hear from the prince and princess for a while)

"Education is not just facts and numbers; it empowers you to shape your own future. Research shows that education for women is a powerful catalyst for positive change, promoting gender equality and improving health. It also contributes to the overall development and well-being of families, communities, and societies. Recognising and investing in the education of women is in other words crucial for building a more sustainable world."

-An excerpt from Crown Princess Victoria's speech as she opened a classroom named in her honour at Bangladesh's Asian University for Women, 19th March 2024

This feels irrelevant right now but as a royal blog might as well share:

- This is the reason why William was forced to pull out of attending his godfather King Constantine Il's memorial service at Windsor

- It was her personal decision to announce this today, after her children had broken up for the Easter holidays, to protect them from gossip and intense public and media interest. Friends are at pains to stress that it is not a reaction to ludicrous speculation.

- She is expected to return to public duties when her medical advisers think it right but her first public appearances may not signal a full time return immediately. The Wales family are not intending to go to church on Easter Sunday at Windsor.

I’m not British, nor a royal family fan, but I must say my piece.

My mother had a tumor, a few years ago. It was benign, but we did not find out until months after the diagnosis. Those were dark, ugly times for my family and I. If my mother’s colleagues or acquaintances treated her the way you treated Kate, I would have not spared any kind words for them. So I am doing the same here.

The way you all speculated, mocked, derided, made a meme out of this and wished all the worse things to Kate Middleton simply because she disappeared from the public eye for a while, something Windsor and the royal staff had already stated, is astonishingly embarrassing.

The media team repeated multiple times that she would go back to her duties after Easter, and needed to rest, but instead of respecting this you made fun of her and made her into a joke. And maybe the monarchy in this day and age is nothing more than a joke, who knows. But those people are real. They are humans as much as you and me.

To those who bullied Kate Middleton into making a message to talk about something so delicate as cancer, something she did not want to do to protect her children: you disgust me. I hope you had your fun, because now you are covered in shame. An embarrassment.

A woman might be a princess, the future queen, but she is still a mother and a human. And facing cancer, we are all the same. Some are luckier, some aren’t. Some have access to treatment, some don’t. But cancer is still cancer, and if anything it makes her just like anyone else. Human. Not an unreachable queen or myth.

I hope now you will realize your cruelty in the past days and weeks. You might not like her, but she is not undeserving of respect. Out of all the royals, not her. And if your blind hate can’t possibly get past this, it’s your problem, and your lack of empathy.

My condolences to the princess of Wales and her family.
