Uh-oh! Are Kate Middleton and Prince William the world's most slammed royals? Well, the royal couple appeared to have earned the title as they often faced criticisms from the scrutinizing public. But why are the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge often face these somewhat ridiculous brickbats.
In a world obsessed with royalties, the public's growing fondness over the royal families is quite unsurprising anymore. With that said, it is also expected that British royal couple Kate Middleton and Prince William are considered among the most popular royals in the world. However, being one of the most-loved royals also comes with a great price and that is being a target of critical remarks.
Kate Middleton and Prince William are known to be untraditional royals since they apparently don't follow the royal standards and traditions. Although some are impressed that the royal couple are anything but traditional with Majesty magazine editor-in-chief Ingrid Seward saying they're following Princess Diana's legacy (via Marie Claire), other skeptics still criticized them for breaking the royal norm.
In March, Kate Middleton found herself in a middle of a major public backlash when she broke a royal tradition and snubbed the royal's annual St. Patrick Day celebration to spend more time with her two kids, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Even though the Duchess' determination of making her children a priority was pretty impressive, some of the royal subjects were disappointed saying, "if the Royals start breaking with good traditions then I'm not sure what they're there for," as per Daily Mail.
Aside from breaking traditions, Kate Middleton and Prince William are also slammed for their lavish lifestyles, not to mention their apparent laziness when it comes to fulfilling their royal obligations and responsibilities. However, the Duke of Cambridge had refused to address the "laziness" accusations when he was interviewed by ITV's Mark Austin back in March, Celeb Dirty Laundry noted.
Meanwhile, Kate Middleton and Prince William were once again slammed for being like "Hollywood snobs." Based on the latest Celeb Dirty Laundry report, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were labeled as such because of their "Hollywood-like" demands, particularly for bringing 12 assistants on their upcoming Canada trip.
As reported by Daily Mirror, Kate Middleton and Prince William will bring a 12-personal entourage of assistants including an operations manager, a personal assistant, a tour secretary, three private secretaries and four press secretaries. These people, along with the royal couple's children Prince George and Princess Charlotte, will reportedly accompany them as they fulfill 30 royal engagements on their week-long Canadian tour.
