The “Where is Kate” hashtag proves that the British public is no longer willing to grant carte blanche to the royal family. Catherine, Princess of Wales, and William, Prince of Wales, are learning that with great privilege comes accountability, and it’s a concept that’s likely — and understandably — causing them significant discomfort. But boo hoo, if mere mortals have to provide a good reason for ringing in sick to work, then two of Britain’s highest-ranking public servants can too.
Still, let’s face it: the royal family has never played by the rules. For centuries, they made the rules. But sorry, William and Kate — those days are long gone, and they’re not returning. The Kate hospitalization saga has highlighted how out of touch with reality the nobility is. A source close to the royal family told People that it’s “sensible” for Kate to relax and recover from her mysterious surgery. “That is a great example to the rest of us, as you’re often told to get back to work as soon as possible, which can be damaging. It is good for all of us to see her taking the time, recovering properly, and then coming back,” the source explained. “We can all learn from that.”
Sure, we can all learn from that. But seriously? It’s a luxury that regular people are seldom afforded. So, as great an example as it is, it merely magnifies the pampered privilege afforded to royals.
