Amid growing concerns over his sister-in-law’s public image, the Duke of Sussex reportedly embarked on a luxurious ski vacation, as disclosed by a source to Page Six.
Despite the ongoing turmoil surrounding the Duchess of Cambridge’s sudden retreat from the limelight, the Duke seemed unfazed by the media frenzy.
According to our Royal Insider, the Duke of Sussex, known for his tumultuous relationship with the press inherited from his late mother, Princess Diana, has been preoccupied with the coverage of Princess Catherine’s enigmatic decision to step back from public engagements.
Nevertheless, sources close to the Duke affirm his stance that any insinuation of scandal is baseless and unfounded.

Accompanied by an eclectic mix of companions including Kris Jenner’s partner Corey Gamble, Whitney Woolf of Bumble fame, and Michael Hurd, an affluent oil heir from Texas, the Duke of Sussex’s ski trip garnered attention.
Reports suggest that he even ventured to purchase hats at the prestigious Chemo Save Club during his sojourn.
Meanwhile, amidst the swirling controversies, manipulated photos of Princess Catherine and her children surfaced, fueling speculations despite being captured far from Aspen.
Concerns over the Princess of Wales’ well-being have escalated, with reports indicating a breakdown in communication between her senior staff members.
Adding to the unfolding drama, rumors resurfaced alleging an affair between the Prince of Wales and his socialite confidante Lady Rose Hanbury.
