A TV host has shared thoughts on Kate Middleton’s “terrifying” reaction after getting booed. The incident unfolded at the Trooping the Colour ceremony on Saturday, June 13. The annual birthday parade for the monarch is one of the most high-profile royal events of the year.
TV host says Kate Middleton gave protestors the ‘evils’ after getting booed
A TV host has said that Kate Middleton shot the protestors a sharp, icy glare, moments after facing boos during the ceremony.
Princess Kate attended King Charles’ official birthday celebrations in London on Saturday. The 44-year-old took a central spot on the royal dais at Horse Guards Parade, seated beside the King and Queen Consort.
After the event, the Princess of Wales and her children, 12-year-old Prince George, 11-year-old Princess Charlotte, and 8-year-old Prince Louis, traveled by carriage to Buckingham Palace amid boos from onlookers, per the Daily Express.
“Not my King!” chants and boos from anti-monarchists rang out as the carriage moved past. The children heard it clearly, their smiles slipping, with George appearing visibly uncomfortable. The Princess held herself together, but her face tightened into a firm, stern look amid the ongoing jeers.
Speaking on Monday’s The Jeremy Vine Show, the host said that Kate responded to the protestors with what he called “evils.” During the discussion, Lara Brown commented that Kate looked “terrifying” as she was “giving a dirty look.” Vine, in response, said, “She should have smiled. The Queen would have smiled.”
However, Brown reasoned that Princess Kate must have felt angry driving with her three young children. The children had never made political statements or shared views on the monarchy, and they wouldn’t have understood why the crowd was booing. Brown said that was likely why she looked so cross.
“The difficulty is this is the big parade for the King’s birthday. Her husband William is on horseback. He’s not even in the carriage,” she added. That said, former Labour councillor Sebastien Salek argued that public support for the monarchy still far outnumbers anti-monarchists.
