Kate's Candid Chat With A Fan Leads To An Unexpected Confession About Will
When Kate Middleton was chatting to a fan, she let slip some huge baby news. As a rule, members of the British royal family don’t talk much about their personal lives. And if there’s any drama going on behind the scenes, you won’t catch the royals posting about it on social media or going to the tabloids. So it’s no surprise that Kate’s candid confession got people talking.
Turmoil for the Royals
Kate was visiting the city of Bradford with William at the time – although they were doing so during a period of real turmoil for the royal family. Mere days before the trip, you see, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had made the remarkable announcement that they would be stepping down as senior royals. And that revelation sent shockwaves not only throughout the rest of the Windsor clan, but also the entire country.
Shocking Announcement
Harry and Meghan had revealed their decision via a statement posted on Instagram, writing, “After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.”
Appreciation for Royal Tradition
It seemed, too, that Harry’s mind had been made up after he had become a father. In any case, the statement mentioned that he and Meghan wished “to raise [their] son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born while also providing [their] family with the space to focus on the next chapter – including the launch of [their] new charitable entity.”
Separate Entities
Unsurprisingly, William didn’t speak directly to the media about Harry’s sudden exit. Yet according to The Sunday Times, he did privately tell a friend, “I’ve put my arm around my brother all our lives, and I can’t do that anymore; we’re separate entities. All we can do, and all I can do, is try and support them and hope that the time comes when we’re all singing from the same page. I want everyone to play on the team.”
