A paparazzi, who violated the codes between the journalistic “Rota” (the agreement) of Buckingham Palace and the photographers, and a rush by the British Ministry of Defense to announce its next public presence
showed the first photo of Catherine
, Princess of Wales after his mysterious abdominal operation and revealed that his first official activity will only be in June.
At the
Trooping the colors ceremony,
when the king's official birthday is celebrated in Great Britain.
The real day is another.
Princess Kate
has finally been seen
.
The image was censored in Britain.
No newspaper or television published it on Monday or Tuesday. The paparazzi managed to sell it in the United States.
The Ministry of Defense was quick to announce the presence of the Princess of Wales.
Buckingham Palace even now
does not officially confirm it
.
He wants to give the princess time to recover in complete peace of mind.
It is not certain that she will be at such a ceremony.
It's not even known when she will appear.

The action demonstrates how much “the Kate Affair” is a public relations and communication drama for a House of Windsor
with too many casualties

The first photo
For the first time since undergoing abdominal surgery in January, the Princess of Wales was seen in public on Monday.
She is seen as a passenger in a black Audi, a vehicle driven by her mother, Carole Middleton, near Windsor Castle.

She also has a serious expression, as does her mother, who is also wearing a dark coat.
Princess Kate's last public appearance was at Christmas, at the Sandringham service.
She was hospitalized at the London Clinic in mid-January for “planned abdominal surgery.”
The palace
refrained from specifying the reason for the operation until now.

He said at the time that Kate's commitments had "been postponed" and that she would not return to work until "after Easter", which this year falls on March 31.
They added that Kate “hopes the public understands her desire to maintain as much normality as possible for her children;
and her desire that her medical information
staff remain private.
"Therefore, Kensington Palace will only provide updates on Her Royal Highness's progress
when there is significant new information
to share."
For several weeks afterwards, there was radio silence from the palace and the rest of the royals about Kate's condition.
But after speculation emerged online about the princess's whereabouts, the palace said in a statement: "We were very clear from the beginning that the Princess of Wales would be away until after Easter and that Kensington Palace would only provide updates when something is significant.”
At the time, the mother of three apologized for postponing her royal engagements following the surgery, which was not cancer-related, according to courtiers.
Public service and errors
Online rumors about Kate's health were fueled when Prince William unexpectedly pulled out of a memorial service last week for King Constantine, his godfather, where he was expected to give a reading.
He argued “a personal matter
,” which she did not clarify.
It was only 45 minutes before the ceremony.
The mistake of the Royal Family
has been the management of the Palace's communication
, its obsession with a privacy that few tolerate.
The mystery was maintained by Isabel II.
In the 21st century, the British monarchy is like a Brazilian soap opera in installments.
The king admitted his cancer but
did not distinguish what it was
.
He was much more open than William and Kate, who decided to preserve their privacy over the general interest when supported by British taxpayers.
“The monarchy
risks falling into public indifference
if its privileges appear to outweigh its services,” admitted Adam Bulton, a Sky News commentator and experienced British political analyst.
It was not until the Royals began to fall ill one after another that the feared drop in popularity following the death of Queen Elizabeth did not occur.
The constitutional monarchy remains the favorite option for the government, with just under 50% support.
The privacy dilemma
The problem that the Royal Family faces today regarding their privacy is that
they are public figures
, who will fulfill a role from their birth towards British subjects and supported by the British people and their taxes.

Due to the trauma of the persecution of his mother, Princess Diana, and her death in the Alma Tunnel
, William has an aversion to the press
and has transferred it to his closest family.
Not giving explanations for not attending the
commemoration of the death of his godfather, King Coinstantine of Greece, increased rumors and speculation about his wife's health and at the same time, a demand that he give his reasons.
She is a public figure.
Until now she refuses.
The service was both an intimate family event for those of royal blood and a high-profile public function.
The media produced diagrams of who was present.
They highlighted the prominence of the disgraced Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York.
They highlighted
the considerable ages
of the "working royal members" present.
Queen Camilla, 76;
the Princess Royal, 73;
the Duke of Kent, 88;
The Duke of Gloucester, aged 79.
Octogenarians or disinherited were representatives of the House of Windsor.
The “Slim” monarchy that King Charles dreamed of came to fruition, with no replacements in sight.
Today the Royals need to be more and
do not have any more acceptable or healthy members.
The remains of the royal family
Richard Kay, a regular royal watcher for the Daily Mail, commented that "looking at the remains of our first family on display at Windsor this week it was impossible to escape the conclusion that it has suddenly become a
threadbare institution
."
He went on to argue that the stability of the Royal Family "appears to be in danger."
"Never in modern memory has royalty had so many problems at the same time," he said.
Currently, senior royals are uncomfortably half-hearted in what they are willing to tell the public.
They recognize the need for greater informality.
Especially since
support for the monarchy is lower among young people.
The most staunch royalists are older, female and conservative voters.
However, largely due to the trauma of losing their mother,
William and Harry "hate the press,"
according to their friends, and jealously protect their family's privacy, in their own way. But for how long?
Harry regent?
If Charles III's unspecified cancer progresses and he abdicates or dies, William will be the future king.
The problem comes in his successor.
Since his son George is very young, the only adult is Prince Harry, fifth in the line of succession and also the king's son.
It will be Harry the Regent of George.
Both brothers detest each other
and Harry lives in California, self-exiled and critical of his Royals relatives.
The courtiers will do everything to prevent him from returning as they did with Harry's offer to temporarily return to help his father while he is sick.
Will this blockade be viable, when the monarchy is rejected by the young and supported by the elderly? Who will save the House of Windsor?
