mounting speculation about the Princess of Wales’ health.“Having seen his mother go through quite a lot of that, the hounding of his mother, I think he feels he is seeing elements of that being breached again in terms of the demands and screeches at his wife over her medical privacy and that is hurting him,” Nikkhah said.When asked if William, the heir to the throne, feels “sensitive” about the similarities, the royal expert said he “always has been.”“Ever since he has been a child and since he has been with Catherine since university,” she added.William and Prince Harry’s late mother Diana died in a car crash in August 1997 at the age of 36 while fleeing photographers in Paris.Elsewhere, Nikkhah said she believes that the future queen will likely address her abdominal post-surgery recovery at upcoming public engagements after March 31.“I think she is going to be much more open about what’s happened, I think she will do it in a natural organic way like on an engagement,” she said of Middleton.“We have seen William at engagements in the past few weeks and everyone is asking him, ‘How is Kate?’ Saying, ‘Please give these flowers to your wife.’ I think, when she’s out and about, she will be asked about it.”“I’m not saying she will go into every detail about what surgery she has had, but she might find a way to speak about her recovery, about the places it’s taken her mentally and physically. We know mental health is an important thing for them, that is the way she is going to let the people know [what] has been going on,” she added.The mom of three is not expected to return to her public duties until after Easter, which falls on March 31, 2024.

There still may be time for the high tide of public disapproval to recede, but the cost to the royal image and to individual reputations has been high.”“Yet the problems go beyond the two medical emergencies.
