Kate Middleton’s Children Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis Caught in Anti Royal Firestorm
Prince William and Kate Middleton’s children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, have found themselves at the center of controversy sparked by an anti-monarchy group following a recent social media post.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge shared a heartwarming photo of Charlotte, 9, and Louis, 6, watching the England vs Spain Euro 2024 final from home.
The image, showing the young royals in England jerseys with their names and ages on the back, was captioned with a message of support for the England team.
The photograph, taken by Kate Middleton after she and Charlotte attended Wimbledon earlier in the day, quickly made headlines across British media outlets.
However, the coverage drew sharp criticism from Republic, an anti-monarchy group, which questioned the prominence given to the royal children’s activities.
In a social media post, Republic expressed disbelief at the media’s focus on the royal children watching football, calling into question the news value of such coverage.
They tweeted, “Jesus, @BBCNews – is this really a front-page, breaking news story? Kids watching football? #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy”.
Republic further criticized Prince William’s attendance at the Euro 2024 final in Germany, labeling it as a personal trip rather than a work engagement, despite his role as President of the Football Association.
