Not really, as the responsibility is all her own.
She chooses to put herself out there on the public stage as a royal, an activist, humanitarian, who told us in her engagement interviews she was going to hit the ground running.
But the truth is, she isn’t equipped with the tools for a public life, let alone Royal. The acting world worked for her, because it’s a very controlled environment but she falters in public where there’s no script and editing button.
At times she struggles in social settings and doesn’t know what to do with her nervous energy. The image she’s actively tried to cultivate over the years, that of an accomplished, polished public leader, just doesn’t ring true. She’s has an awkward teenager energy about her, doesn’t know what to do with herself. She then attempts to control her nerves by clinging, hand holding, hugging, repeatedly talking in banalities and word salad, which only further illustrates her incompatibility with a public facing role.
The fault is all her own but blames others when it all goes wrong. If you take the empath banana incident, where her social awkwardness meant that she thought that was a great idea. The public were quite right to be shocked by a Royal, writing fridge magnet affirmations on bananas that were to go out in food parcels to vulnerable and abused women who were prostituting their bodies on the streets. This is not normal behaviour. To write ‘you are strong’ on a banana, to go out to vulnerable women that you haven’t met, and will never meet. We even found out that she got the idea from mothers who wrote them for their kids lunchboxes!
It was totally inappropriate. Can you imagine, that when she turned up today to help with One World Kitchens feeding emergency workers, the displaced, those who have lost their homes….and she wrote ‘you got this’ on a fucking banana. There would be outrage!
But even this could have been resolved if she apologised. All she had to do was get the palace to release a statement saying that she never meant to cause upset and was done in good faith, however she recognises that this wasn’t appropriate. But that’s not what happened- what happened is she blamed the toxic press for criticising her, claiming they did so because they were racist.
Her failures, her social ineptitude, that she fails to recognise, is what leads to all her problems. She’s a hot mess.
