Kate Middleton’s secret message to social media trolls following cancer diagnosis

The Princess of Wales made headlines around the world when she released an unprecedented family video to mark the end of her chemotherapy treatment.

The emotional and highly-personal recording featured William and Kate with their three young children, playing games and spending time together in the Norfolk countryside.

There were also touching private moments between the couple. Indeed, William and Kate appeared more in love than ever as they offered up intimate, tender moments from their life together, with shots of the two embracing, kissing, and holding hands.

And according to one commentator, it sent a message to cruel social media trolls who had spread fake news and false malicious claims about her illness and the state of her marriage to the future king.

Daily Mail columnist Sarah Vine said the video was not just about the Wales family, but William and Kate as a couple. She said while they are “not often given to PDAs” that “does not mean they don’t love each other deeply”.

“Here we see a little of that love expressed physically in a way that is as unexpected as it is unfamiliar,” she noted. “They are presenting themselves not only as royals, parents – but also as sweethearts. It’s also a tacit but highly effective rebuttal of the rumours, largely put about on social media, that have dogged them in recent years.”
