Amid the clamor, reporters shouted questions like, "Your Royal Highness, do you have any comments on Omid Scobie's book?" and "Did you watch Piers Morgan's show last night, Your Royal Highnesses?" Prince William and Princess Kate, however, chose not to respond or acknowledge these questions. Instead, they walked toward each other, briefly holding hands, and gracefully continued down the red carpet.
The royal couple exuded radiance and relaxation, mingling with the stars of the show, including Sher McFly, Paloma Faith, and Darren Brown. Kate dazzled in a stunning green sequin gown by Alexander McQueen, while William opted for a classic black tuxedo.
The contrast between Kate and Meghan couldn't have been more evident. Kate embraced her role and responsibilities, shining on stage and charming the crowd. In contrast, Meghan chose to stay out of the public eye and faced criticism from various quarters. While Kate garnered praise and admiration, Meghan encountered scorn and criticism.
It appears that on the red carpet and in the hearts of the people, Kate Middleton has prevailed over Meghan Markle. The royal couple also showed their support and appreciation for the performers, enjoying a variety of acts ranging from comedy to magic to music. They shared laughter at host Bradley Walsh's playful teasing about their family life and Netflix habits and wholeheartedly applauded the talented artists who sought to impress the royal audience.
Scobie's book, a sequel to the previous tell-all "Finding Freedom," alleges that two senior Royals, Princess Anne and Prince Edward, made racist remarks about Archie's skin color before his birth. The book also claims that the queen failed to protect Harry and Meghan from media scrutiny and palace staff who were allegedly hostile and unsupportive of their relationship. These claims have ignited a significant public and royal family backlash, with denials and dismissals of the book as a work of fiction.
However, William and Kate chose not to dignify the questions with a response, demonstrating their focus on their duties, charities, and their united and happy partnership. They conveyed a sense of indifference to the surrounding drama, emphasizing their commitment to their roles without shame or reservation.
