Prince William, heir to the British throne, remembered his mother, the late Diana of Wales, this Thursday in an event in London at the same time that the monarchy faces intense scrutiny due to the controversy generated around the photo that the Princess of Wales, Kate, retouched.
The first-born son of Charles III and the late Lady Di, who attended the event without his wife, Kate, who continues to convalesce after an abdominal operation of which the details are not known, gave a speech at the Legado de Awards ceremony. Diana held at the Science Museum in the British capital.
“This afternoon, the Diana Legacy Awards is particularly special for me because it marks the 25th anniversary of the Diana Awards, a charity founded to reflect my mother's belief that young people can change the world,” William said.
That legacy is something that both Kate and I have focused on through our work, as have the 50,000 young people who have received a Diana Award over the last 25 years.
The Prince of Wales recalled how Diana taught him “that everyone in need deserves a hand in life.”
“That legacy is something that both Kate and I have focused on through our work, as have the 50,000 young people who have received a Diana Award over the last 25 years,” he said.
Although the Diana Awards are presented annually, Diana's Legacy is also awarded every two years, introduced in 2017 to mark the 20th anniversary of the entity and to which the recipients of the other award opt.
Although the media storm has subsided in the United Kingdom, William and Kate continue to be questioned for how they have managed the spread on March 10 on their X account of a photograph of Kate and her three children on the occasion of Mother's Day in the United Kingdom, which she later confessed that she had retouched.
The controversy arose because Several international graphic agencies decided to withdraw the image from their services when they detected that it had been manipulated, after which the Princess of Wales clarified that it had been her “experimenting as an amateur photographer.”
Although the family tried to downplay the retouching – which experts believe could have been done with editing programs or from the cell phone itself – by underlining the informality of the image, for critics this episode undermines the credibility of its messages to the public.
This is relevant when speculation continues about the nature of Kate's illness, of which the palace did not give details other than to assure that it is not cancer. and note that the princess will not make commitments until at least after Easter.
For their part, King Charles III, who is undergoing cancer treatment, and Camilla have a different press office from that of the princes of Wales and in this case they stayed out of the controversy, which generated a furor on social networks.
