The indiscretion of the brother-in-law is said to have sent her husband into a rage, adding to the princess's stress. Time and again, she finds herself in the role of the buffer zone between the feuding brothers - a huge stress factor for someone who should be focusing on recovery.
But the worries don't stop there: In July, a major change is imminent when her son reaches a certain age. From this point on, the second in line to the throne can no longer travel on the plane with his parents. This old protocol serves the security of the monarchy, but for the mother it means an emotional turning point. In the future, she must say goodbye to her children individually - another pain she bears in silence. As if all this weren't enough, the unloved sister-in-law Meghan is forcefully pushing her way back into the spotlight. On the very weekend of an important royal parade in honor of the king, she will be honored at a gala in a major US city. Many observers see this as a deliberately chosen counter-date.
Despite all these burdens, the princess remains steadfast. She does not give interviews and does not publically voice complaints. The future queen withdraws gracefully and fights behind closed doors - for her health, her family, and her role in the royal house. "I look forward to the time ahead of us," she once expressed in a very personal statement. One can only hope that fate will make things a bit easier for her in the future.
