Princess Kate, who shared the tough battle she went through during her cancer journey, sent an important message to the Sussexes, especially Meghan Markle.
While the Princess of Wales quietly scaled several mountains, Prince Harry and Meghan made a mountain out of a molehill.
There has been immense buzz about the upcoming visit of Harry, Meghan and the children returning to the UK as family for the first time in four years. However, the security dilemma has caused major drama despite the fact that King Charles has offered Buckingham Palace for their stay.
According to royal commentator Sarah Vine, Princess Kate’s latest feat should be lesson for the Sussexes in how to handle critical matters. Kate had participated in the Three Peaks Challenge, in which participants have to scale the Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa, the three highest in Scotland, England and Wales within a 24-hour window.
The fact the royal did it after her cancer battle was commendable, more so she did it “was quietly, without fanfare or a large film crew, climbing three mountains”.
“No Press briefing, no paparazzi, no crowds of well-wishers urging her on. Just a quiet, determined, low-key act of personal pilgrimage,” Sarah praised.
Comparing it to the Sussex drama, Sarah remarked that the Kate’s “authentic, low-key approach” should be a masterclass.
“Here is someone, as the young people say, who understands the assignment. That is why words like ‘grateful’ and ‘give something back’ ring true with the Princess of Wales, but they don’t with others.”
Meanwhile, when Meghan is “trying to be magnanimous, her narcissism shines through”.
“Remember that speech Meghan gave at a charity in which she mentioned herself 54 times? Catherine’s approach is different.”
