After shocking revelations about the British Royal Family on the exclusive interview with Oprah on CBS, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have flooded their social media accounts with posts celebrating Common Wealth day rather than commenting on the interview.
While the interview is making headlines all over news media outlets, and there are reports that the Palace intends to respond, Prince William and Kate Middleton who have been particularly named in the interview have refused to comment.
Although Megan Markle and Prince Harry have kept names out of sensitive and damaging information during the interview, there is no doubt that members of the royal family have to be careful and cautious in their responses, officially in the press or on social media.
To commemorate Common Wealth Day, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reposted a message from the Queen’s official account that read
“Today is #CommonwealthDay. The Commonwealth is a voluntary association of 54 independent countries. The Queen is Head of the Commonwealth.”
The post was linked to the Queen’s audio message celebrating,
“friendship, spirit of unity and achievements of the Commonwealth.
“Looking forward, relationships with others across the Commonwealth will remain important, as we strive to deliver a common future that is sustainable and more secure, so that the nations and neighbourhoods in which we live, wherever they are located, become healthier and happier places for us all.”
As a result of the pandemic, the royals, The Queen, Prince Charles and Camilla, William and Kate, and the Countess of Wessex, appeared on BBC One’s A Celebration for Commonwealth Day, which is in contrast to the usual Common Wealth Day service at St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Kate and Prince William focused their message on health workers, charity organizations, and volunteers across the common wealth nations, listening to how they worked through the pandemic.
