"Expert: William's History with Diana Influences Response to Online Kate Hysteria"

Amid speculation about Kate Middleton's well-being and a photo editing controversy, Kensington Palace's silence has led to criticism of the royals' communications team, with experts noting the palace's "laughingstock" status. The palace's "keep calm and carry on" approach, similar to Queen Elizabeth II's, has led to questions about why more isn't being done to address the rumors. The small and close-knit team at Kensington Palace, along with the different communications approaches of other royal family members, has contributed to the current situation. William and Kate's decision-making is influenced by their desire to protect their family from media intrusion, a priority shaped by William's experiences with his late mother, Princess Diana.
