It is a source of regular and deep sorrow for this royal writer that on occasion, while digging around the dusty corners of the internet, I come across certain photos of Prince William.
There was a time, in the early aughts, when the future King looked less like his jug-eared slightly awkward father’s son and more like he had been specifically created by the most vivid imaginations of the Disney Corporation. That jawline, those luscious blonde locks, the general dreamboaty-iness!, looks a world away from his dishy younger self and more like a Mancunian accountant who spends too much time thinking about his golf handicap and the merits of a Lexus.
Royal husbands have a track record that could best be described as absolutely bloody appalling. Quite literary. Princes and Kings have killed, locked up, divorced, abandoned, abused, tormented, and sued their significant others over the course of the centuries. Wives and families didn’t tend to really figure into things much, except if there was a portrait to be painted or it was Christmas Day.
Weeks worth of reporting has driven home one point – that he is absolutely adamant that Kate be given the time, space and privacy she needs, and that the only priority is her health.was in the London Clinic for abdominal surgery, it was also announced that William had no intention of doing the stoic, unfeeling bloke thing, putting Duty before basic husbandly decency. No siree.
All this, it must be noted, the prince is doing with the firm and full backing of his father King Charles, who really didn’t do that well at the marital fidelity stakes while Prince of Wales.: “All he wants to do is protect his wife and children. The family just want to go away for Easter, spend time together, the five of them, close off from the world.”
William might not have gotten things perfectly right - like letting Kate take the heat for the Great Mother’s Day Photo mishap - but what has become evident is the extent to which the man is trying to do right by his family.
