Following the controversy over edited photos, Hilary Fordwich, a royal specialist, lambasted the palace for not doing more to shield Kate Middleton.
Fordwich blamed the accident on a lack of experience and underlined the necessity for media-savvy leadership inside the monarchy.
Acknowledging Middleton’s apologies as an act of sincerity, Fordwich recommended the palace to hire elite experts to handle contemporary media issues.
Author Tom Bower made similar accusations against the palace, saying it mismanaged the situation and ignored Middleton’s welfare.
