The royal family lives by the mantra “never complain, never explain”. It’s why the Princess of Wales has been unable to fight back against some of the shocking things said about her in the controversial book Endgame by Omid Scobie.
However, as the new year gets underway and Kate focuses on a busy schedule ahead that will mix her official duties with being a mum, royal correspondents continue to defend her over the barrage of allegations that many have described as nasty and untrue.
Kate came off worst in the book that takes potshots at most members of the family – and that was particularly galling because she doesn’t deserve it, say many writers who get to see the royals up close.
“The princess has devoted herself to duty, to looking after her husband and her young family. She should be looked up to, not denigrated,” insists author Robert Jobson.
