Prince William is seeing chilling similarities between the hounding his wife, Kate Middleton, is experiencing and what his late mother, Princess Diana, went through.
Appearing on “Good Morning Britain” on Monday, the Sunday Times royal editor Roya Nikkhah opened up about the 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.
“She has been at the children’s school, school parents have seen her in the past few weeks, she has been seen at this farm shop, so she has been out and about,” Nikkhah added.
It comes as royal expert and author Christopher Andersen said that the late Princess Diana would have taken a different approach to Middleton, had she been involved in a similar photo controversy way back when.
“Altering a photo is not something that Diana would ever have considered doing because she knew full well that she would be crucified if she did,” Andersen, author of “The King: The Life of Charles III,” told Fox News.
“Diana was a loner. Kate is the consummate team player. The palace wouldn’t have dared ask Diana to apologize for anything — they knew that the answer would be a resounding ‘no.’ “
“Kate, on the other hand, is more compliant, more eager to please,” Andersen shared. “Among senior royals, she’s always been more of a ‘go along to get along’ type.”
“One can’t help but feel she is being taken advantage of at a time when it has become increasingly clear that she is coping with a health matter that is more serious than we’ve been led to believe,” he added.
