I do wish Sophie’s work was better publicised.

To be fair to the man he was put on the spot in front of the audience
He would have been briefed that a question like that may come up, and his first response was to say it was something no one was interested in and then to fluff his way through a stock statement he's been told to recite. Neither of those things sound like he actually gives a toss, despite his wife's good work on the subject. Seems like her work doesn't really register with him at all, over and above how it affects the Monarchy ( people like my wife for doing whatever she's doing so it makes us look good).

The question was 'How was he coping?'
I can totally see how the answer to that would have been that no-one in that audience (government delegates to an education summit, if I remember correctly) was interested in that, before trying to turn it round to the victims.

I suspect he would have been better taking a moment or two to think, but it was a crass question.

It occurs to me that the royals would be much better off if they repeated the question first, giving them time to think and making the answer clearer. If he’d said ‘How am I coping? Oh, I don’t think people are interested in that.” there’d be much less room
for deliberate misunderstanding.

We see these deliberate misunderstandings proliferate on social media. Not just royal family members, but basically anyone relatively famous who sticks their head above the parapet and ventures their opinion on anything. That, and the 2 to 3 second video clips of a person or events that lead people to form an opinion on something, an opinion that is often incorrect. When a longer clip of the event is viewed it will often show it was a misinterpretation of the situation.

Although it appears that social media is fast becoming a colossal waste of time now that it is being overwhelmed with AI and bots and bad actors. I was on tik tok today and I think half the things I saw were AI. Some are labeled AI but a disturbing amount is not. And Twitter posters pump out misinformation like there is no tomorrow. You tube too.

Rant over 😂

Agree totally @NightBitch - with all those points
