The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and now the Prince of Wales, are summoned to ensure the continuity and modernity of the Crown
During the pandemic, William of Cambridge — heir to the British heir apparent until Thursday and now first in the line of succession — and his wife, Catalina, made headlines for their video calls encouraging health workers or playing bingo with the elderly of the United States. residences and through the images of their children, Princes Jorge, Carlota and Luis, applauding the medical staff. For running, in short, with the suffering people. Meanwhile, in complete global shock from incarceration and the deadly plague of an unknown virus, his brother Enrique and his sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, announced their departure from the royal family to move to California.
The estrangement between the two brothers, until then very close after the death of their mother, Princess Diana, undoubtedly left a mark on William, who is called to be the next benchmark of the old British monarchy, as the reign of biological reasons would necessarily be limited. from his father, Carlos III. But at the same time, the popularity of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge has grown exponentially – and now Cornwall, the title they inherit from Carlos and Camila, as well as the Princes of Wales, as the Sovereign announced Friday, who regarded British society as discreet and devoted in the face of Enrique’s vociferous scandals since his marriage to Meghan.
Guillermo, who has always lived under the strictest media scrutiny and has been compared to his mother for his reserved disposition, is the most popular member of the Royal Family in the UK at age 40, with 66% of the support for his favor, according to the YouGov polling station. In fact, many Britons would like him to already ascend the throne, reinforcing the perception that Charles III’s reign will act as a sort of rehearsal for his successor and future queen consort. Guillermo and Catalina will henceforth receive even greater prominence and with it a greater responsibility and public agenda.
The Dukes, who had just moved into Adelaide Cottage, a country house ten minutes’ walk from Windsor Palace with four rooms and no capacity for internal service – for the first time their Spanish nanny, María Teresa Turrión, is not living with them – they would even though Carlos and Camila are moving to Buckingham because their three children have just started classes at Lambrook School, a prestigious private school near Ascot. In any case, they are not far from Windsor and there is no doubt that their public presence will increase anyway.
William – who will, predictably, receive the title of Prince of Wales from his father in an ‘ad hoc’ ceremony – and Catherine have already amply demonstrated that they understand the sign of the times and have internalized that not only continuity depends of the institution, but also its characteristic of modernity and its social involvement.
If anyone who has seen ‘The Crown’ knows that Elizabeth II achieved the respect of her people despite the halo of distance and solemnity she radiated, the future royal couple is clear that closeness to the British, for all of them, must be their card. of presentation. Their Instagram is full of posts expressing their commitment to mental health, the LGTBI community, women’s football or the fight against climate change.
Educated at the elite Eton school, a fan of Aston Villa, a fan of Coldplay and AC/DC and with the military training of his rank, Guillermo has made discretion his talisman. While he’s also shown character, he didn’t hesitate to come forward to ask the media to respect his and Enrique’s grief following Diana’s death or deny his sister-in-law’s accusations of racism.
The same can be said of his wife, who, through her spokespersons, has denied the many speculations that have poured out about her tempestuous relationship with Markle. The fact is that the British media has lured the Duchess of Sussex, whom they have portrayed as a woman of difficult character, unable to keep her staff working, while at the same time praising a much calmer and sweeter disposition. , apparently Catalina, about whom little is actually known outside of her upper-middle-class childhood and her art and photography studies in St Andrews, where she met Guillermo.
The truth is that her eternal smile has also elevated her to the list of favorite people of the British and there are those who say that the caution she always shows is the lesson she learned best from her mother-in-law. “Her role model is the queen and she even talks like her.”
