Kate Middleton and William in the spotlight: What just happened with their children

An unprecedented decision by Kate for the three little princes, for some it is very drastic and for others, understandable

Life in royalty is not free from pressures or challenges, especially when it comes to Prince William and Kate's family. In an environment where every move is scrutinized, private decisions often become public news. The attention on their children and how they protect them has increased considerably.

William and Kate have tried to balance privacy with public presence. Their children have been seen in various family situations, always showing affection and naturalness that aim to convey normalcy. However, the intense media scrutiny has forced the couple to take measures to safeguard the well-being of the little ones.

Kate Middleton, the unexpected photographer

After announcing her diagnosis and recovery from cancer, Kate made an unprecedented decision in royalty. She became the official photographer of her children. In the documentary Kate: A Queen for the Future, it is revealed why Kate made this decision.

The determination arises after seeing the impact that media harassment had on William during his childhood. Journalist Afua Hagan explained that Kate "understands who she is and the position she holds," as well as the public interest in her children. "If she can take control of the images to protect them, she must do it," she highlighted, praising Kate's courage and strategy to care for her family.

Control and protection through image

Kate not only takes the photos but also decides which images reach the press and social media. Hagan defined this practice as "an absolutely brilliant decision," emphasizing the intention to protect the children from intense scrutiny.

William and Harry have lived under media pressure since they were young. Both have spoken openly about how difficult it was to grow up in those circumstances. The protection Kate offers her children goes beyond image control; it is a way to care for their emotional well-being.

Emotional and controversial moments on social media

The family images captured by Kate have caused a sensation. Especially those in which the children appear in natural settings. The most celebrated images have been those of her two younger children on the occasion of their birthdays, which she recently shared on Instagram.

However, not everything has been positive, as the first post after her illness caused controversy due to alleged excessive retouching. Despite the criticism, this decision reflects Kate's intention to protect her family in an increasingly invasive digital world.
