In the wake of the Princess of Wales’ shocking revelation that she has cancer, one huge problem with her landmark video has become clear.
It’s curious the role that benches – heavy, expensive, most likely teak benches – have played in royal history. So delighted was Meghan the Duchess of Sussex with the poem she wrote for husband’s first Father’s Day after the birth of their son Prince Archie she turned it into a children’s book called, what else, The Bench.
Why was Prince William the Prince of Wales, husband of the year according to the myriad glowing accounts circulating in the UK press today, not plonked on the uncomfortable wooden slats, dutifully by his wife’s side too?this decision was made Kate is being praised as a strong and independent woman who didn’t need her husband’s support for this watershed moment.

Imagine, Kate could have delivered her very same message, which she reportedly wrote herself, while her husband of nearly 13 years was by her side wearing his well-worn furrowed brow, radiating loving succour and husbandly devotion. Not that this is probably figuring particularly highly in the Waleses’ thinking but still, for weeks, totally and utterly bonkers theories about Kate that redefine ludicrous have spread virulent and maliciously spread across social media. When a video showing her and William shopping at a Windsor Farm Shop was, it felt like half the internet collectively lost their marbles and started ranting about how it was not actually the princess in the video.
