Prince William and Kate Middleton have spoken out against the problem of loneliness as part of Mental Health Awareness week.
Prince William And Kate Middleton Slammed For Their Double Standards On Mental Health-‘Continue To Peddle Their Fake Concerns’
The couple have been advocates of mental health for some time, as shown by their Royal Foundation. And with the pandemic having impacted a lot of families, the couple understood that these are very testing times.
After all, they are parents themselves and can relate to the difficulties that may emerge in balancing those duties. With that being said, the couple urged the nation to get behind those who needed extra support.
In her comments, Kate said: “We can all help each other feel less isolated and more connected. If you think someone you know might be feeling lonely, just give them a ring, send them a text or knock on the door.”
Nevertheless, Kate’s comments highlighted a major discrepancy. She and William have not taken the same approach when it comes to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Although they are not on good terms, it is highly hypocritical to urge the nation to get behind such a cause, without setting a good example.
This is particularly since William admitted to suffering too. He stated: “We can all feel lonely sometimes… we can feel it for many different reasons.” The response from the fans on social media was very hostile towards the couple.
People could not forget the fact that they had failed to reconcile with Harry and Meghan, despite their recent return visit to the UK. Not only that, but Meghan’s revelations in her Oprah Winfrey interview could not simply be brushed under the carpet.
One person wrote: “Not Kate and William talking about mental health after the way they did Harry and Meghan!!”
While another person stated: “William and Kate Middleton continue to peddle their fake concerns for Mental Health while showing absolutely no concern for Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle Mental Health is the definition of INSANITY!”
