Brown voiced her concerns during an interview with Express UK, where she expressed her view that Prince William's decision to involve Princess Charlotte in delivering an "unpalatable message" has sparked criticism. She noted that this has raised questions about the monarchy's fundamental role.
Furthermore, Brown labeled Prince William's PR maneuver involving Princess Charlotte as "unpalatable." However, she did express some understanding for King Charles' position in this matter, acknowledging that Prince William, the nominated individual, had seemingly avoided his responsibility, thus exposing others to scrutiny.
Brown also cast doubt on climate change concerns being the sole reason for Prince William's non-attendance, particularly since there was no state support alongside the Queen of Spain. She stressed that beyond charitable causes and investitures, the event could have been attended by a female royal representative, and the absence of one was notable.
Brown criticized the lack of support from Buckingham Palace as "short-sighted," emphasizing that the Women's World Cup presented a perfect opportunity to champion progress in women's sports and unite a polarized nation by showing in-person support for the Lionesses in Australia.
