British Royal Family News says that critics are slamming Prince William for just now telling the public that he secretly fought the coronavirus back in April. There is some speculation that the Duke of Cambridge didn’t say anything at the time because he was also caught ‘mocking’ the illness during a public appearance in Dublin back in March. Here’s what you need to know.
According to reports, Prince William “struggled to breathe” while he was battling the virus back in April and during the early days of the global pandemic. However, the Duke of Cambridge had kept it a secret, as he did not want to set off any alarms, and especially with the public.
British Royal Family News: Critics Slam Prince William For Hiding His Secret Coronavirus Illness
“There were important things going on and I didn’t want to worry anyone,” William recently said. During his battle with the virus, Prince Charles’ son was treated by palace doctors and was isolated away from his wife, Kate Middleton, and their three children while at their home in Amner Hall.
Of course, it didn’t take long at all for both fans and critics alike to respond to the news. One person on social media said, “He lied. Hiding the fact he had an infectious disease is a lie. He put everyone he met for his in-person ribbon cuttings at risk. Guaranteed no one would have wanted to meet him if they knew he had COVID. We still don’t know how long immunity lasts. William also openly mocked coronavirus patients and the media coverage in early March in Dublin. Maybe if he was more forthcoming about the illness and an actual leader, people would have taken COVID more seriously.”
Another critic put it this way, “PR nonsense for the gullible brought out before a second lockdown for a reason. My daughter and son-in-law, both NHS medics, and their colleagues couldn’t get a Covid-19 test, despite working long shifts in emergency care but William, just like his dad managed to get one despite not being admitted to hospital with symptoms. That’s the real reason you didn’t find out about it.”
