Jane Moore, in her latest column for The Sun, as reported by the Daily Express, characterized Prince William's decision not to attend the World Cup final as a "misstep," and she expressed apprehension about its potential ramifications for the monarchy's future.
She raised questions about Prince William's choice to convey his support through a video message featuring his daughter, Princess Charlotte, for the England team, known as the Lionesses, rather than physically attending the event. Jane Moore remarked, "But why didn't William simply board a flight with his young daughter and witness the game in person?"
She emphasized that the sight of Prince William and Charlotte enthusiastically cheering from the stands could have offered a significant public relations boost for the monarchy, particularly in Australia. This country has been grappling with an ongoing debate about whether to sever its ties with the monarchy and transition to a republic.
Jane Moore described Prince William's absence as a rare "misstep" for the future King, questioning the purpose of a monarchy that fails to participate in such globally significant events. The incident has triggered speculation and concern about the monarchy's role and relevance on the world stage.
