Commentator Sarah Vine has emphasized the importance of protecting Kate Middleton and Prince William’s children following the princess’ cancer diagnosis announcement.
In a discussion on GB News, host Bev Turner expressed her emotional response to Kate’s announcement video and highlighted the potential impact on the royal children. Turner noted that Kate wanted to inform her children at her own pace, away from public speculation.
"She's got them off for Easter for 2 or 3 weeks now, and she can talk to them and keep them close,” Turner commented.
Vine agreed, noting the fortunate timing of Kate's children being relatively young, potentially sparing them from discovering the news online before hearing it at home. Vine stressed the importance of managing the children's emotions, as they may have many questions about their mother's illness.
