The British royal family has experienced one of the most difficult years in terms of personal matters in 2024. In fact, many have already considered it as the A terrible year of the short reign of Charles III (75 years old). His cancer diagnosis shook the foundations of the Windsors, forcing them to reorganize their agendas and give a more prominent role to members who until that moment had remained in the background.
It seems that little by little the family is recovering from the dark months in which the health of both the monarch and Kate Middleton (42), also diagnosed with cancer, were the only concern of the media.
One of the most criticized decisions was the one taken by he prince william (42), who canceled his schedule to be with his family. Although the British understood that I had to be with themalso stated that it was time to step forward and show that he was prepared to replace his father as monarch.

The reality is that the Prince of Wales he had fewer and fewer official events in his diary and handed over important appointments to other close family members. His latest statements They have once again put him in the spotlight of criticism. In an event held last Thursday, October 3, the monarch’s first-born son stated that he had not been able to attend the Paris Olympic Games for a serious reason.
The possibility of catching Covid forced him to stay at home and continue with his wife and three children. “I really wanted to go, but I have to say that after reading an interview I decided that, since my wife was obviously undergoing chemotherapy, I didn’t want to take the risk of bringing Covid home.“.
A decision that was applauded and also highly criticized. British media point out the incoherence of what they have even considered a lie. You only need to look at the newspaper archive to see the number of events to which the heir to the throne has attended out of schedule and in which he seemed not to care at all about getting infected.
In the month of June, Prince William attended one of Taylor Swift’s concerts (34) gave in London; Weeks later he would go to Germany to each of the matches that England played in the Euro Cup and where he met, among others, with King Felipe VI (56) y Frederick of Denmark (56); This summer it has also been seen in other men’s sports competitions in the United Kingdom.
The truth is that the son of Carlos III always has an excuse ready for the rain of criticism. Without going any further, last summer she was absent from the final of the Women’s World Cup held in Sydney. At that time it was pointed out for showing his undisputed support for men’s sports and not for women’s sports. He then stated that he had not traveled to Australia because of the high carbon footprint for his sustainable lifestyle.
Prince William’s repeated incoherent explanations have once again put him at the center of all criticism. It is true that now that Kate Middleton has finished her chemotherapy treatment she is being seen in more appointments, but it still does not reach what was expected for an heir to the throne who until now was one of the most active.
