Overdrive for Kate Middleton as Perfect Princess Push Drowns Out Marriage Rumours

The “Kate is wonderful” coverage hits overdrive: reports claim she dashed in heeled boots to greet a fan, launched early years “Cwtch Kits” through the Royal Foundation, and quietly helped design a bespoke tartan coat during the Scotland trip. We also revisit Kate’s past praise of Queen Elizabeth’s ability to make people feel seen, a theme that keeps turning up in coverage of Kate’s walkabouts. William visits an Earthshot finalist in Bristol and reacts strongly to microplastics captured from washing machines, while social media chatter about the Waleses’ marriage gets swatted away by a royal expert framing their new comms hire as strategy, not crisis. Plus, a closer look at Kate aide Natalie Barrows, and the story behind William’s long-standing golf scar.
