Prince William and Kate Middleton React to King Charles Message Amid Princess Anne Faces Shocking Snub
Prince William and Kate Middleton have once again found themselves at the center of royal speculation after King Charles released a powerful message marking the 80th anniversary of VJ Day. The Prince and Princess of Wales quietly showed their support for the King, but their silence toward Princess Anne on her 75th birthday has sparked fresh rumors of tension.
The official royal family Instagram shared King Charles message in honor of VJ Day, which commemorates the victory over Japan and the end of the Second World War. His words struck a deeply emotional chord with the public.
In his audio message, King Charles recalled the joy and relief of families when the war was finally declared over. He said, “For the millions of families gathered around their wireless sets, and for their loved ones still serving far from home, it was the message a battle weary world had long prayed for — the war is over.”
The King went on to pay tribute to the veterans and all those who had sacrificed for liberty, assuring that their courage would never be forgotten. His words resonated widely, and royal fans filled the comments section with heartfelt messages of support.
Prince William and Kate Middleton also signaled their approval of the King’s message by pressing the heart button on the official post. This subtle gesture was seen by many as a sign of solidarity with King Charles during a significant moment of remembrance.
However, what the Prince and Princess of Wales did not do quickly captured equal attention. As Princess Anne marked her milestone 75th birthday, William and Kate did not post any public birthday message to honor her.
The omission has been interpreted by some as a deliberate snub amid whispers of a rift between the Prince of Wales and his aunt over the royal workload. Princess Anne has long been known as one of the hardest working royals, often carrying out hundreds of engagements each year.
Reports have circulated that Anne feels William has not stepped up enough to balance the burden, especially during King Charles ongoing health concerns. This has allegedly created tension between the two key members of the family.
King Charles, however, did make sure to wish his sister a warm and affectionate birthday. The King’s birthday tribute to Anne drew praise from fans who admire the Princess Royal’s decades of dedication to duty.
Still, the lack of acknowledgment from William and Kate has fueled speculation that the relationship between the Prince and Princess of Wales and Princess Anne may not be as smooth as it appears in public.

For many royal watchers, the timing of these events could not be more striking. On the same day that William and Kate supported the King’s message of unity and remembrance, they appeared to overlook Anne’s personal milestone.
This contrast has opened a wave of online discussion, with some supporters of Princess Anne calling out what they see as a lack of respect. Others argued that William and Kate may have chosen to keep their birthday wishes private, away from public scrutiny.
The absence of public congratulations also comes at a time when the monarchy is under more pressure than ever to project harmony. With King Charles health remaining a concern and Prince Harry living abroad in California, royal unity has become a priority.
If there truly is tension between Prince William and Princess Anne, it could complicate the royal family’s ability to present a strong front. Princess Anne’s reputation as the most hardworking royal has earned her immense respect, and any perceived dismissal from William and Kate will not go unnoticed.
At the same time, some analysts believe the silence may have been unintentional. William and Kate are known for their selective use of social media, and their choice to like the King’s post could simply reflect their priorities in honoring a national event over personal celebrations.
Regardless of the explanation, this latest episode shows how even the smallest gestures — or lack thereof — can spark headlines when it comes to the royal family. With both Princess Anne and King Charles central to the institution’s stability, Prince William and Kate Middleton will continue to face scrutiny over how they balance family ties and royal duty
