The Princess of Wales, Catherine, is constantly attending royal engagements and is one of the most famous women in the world.
Consequently, she is also one of the most photographed people in the world.
However, her recent hospitalization has been shrouded in secrecy ever since Kensington Palace announced that she was admitted over two weeks ago.
On the same day as King Charles, Catherine left the London Clinic, where she had been staying for 14 days.
Surprisingly, only one photo of the Prince of Wales visiting emerged during her stay, in stark contrast to the many times Queen Camilla was snapped during King Charles’ three-day stay at the same medical facility.
The question arises: how was Catherine able to leave without being photographed?
According to royal photographer James Watling, he heard that Princess Catherine probably slipped out unnoticed in a separate car.
Meanwhile, her personal assistant Natasha Archer, who was the only member of Catherine’s team to be photographed on leaving day, was also snapped at the wheel of another car, transporting several flowers, plants, and gift bags.
Speculation suggests that Archer was taking the princess’s belongings back to Adelaide College, where she attended.
Royal editor Emily Nash has studied the picture and states, “‘Some people are saying the Princess of Wales was in the back of a car.
But I’ve studied the picture, and I can’t see it.'”
James Watling has his own theory about how the princess could have driven out unnoticed.
He explains, “‘All they really had to do was put the Princess of Wales in a car that was really not recognizable as the royal car.’
Harry and Meghan used to use unmarked people carriers.
Something like that would have been comfortable.'”
This incident follows a shocking letter released by Kensington Palace in which the prince and princess sternly warned paparazzi against stalking Prince George.
The letter thanked the British media for not publishing unofficial photographs of George or Princess Charlotte.
However, it also highlighted the disturbing lengths to which photographers are going to capture images of their young children.
The letter revealed, “‘Paparazzi photographers are going to increasingly extreme lengths to observe and monitor Prince George’s movements, and covertly capturing images to sell to the handful of international media titles still willing to pay for them.'”
While the British media have refused to publish unofficial photographs of the toddler since his birth, a select number of international titles continues to fuel demand for clandestine images.
One incident described in the letter involved a photographer discovered in a rented car parked outside a children’s play area.
The photographer had hung sheets inside the vehicle, had a food supply and drinks, and was found by police lying down in the boot of the vehicle attempting to shoot photos with a long lens through a small gap in his hide.
The prince and princess have expressed concerns over breaches in their children’s right to privacy.
They want their children to be able to play in public without being photographed.
The couple has private homes but does not want their children to grow up behind palace walls and gates.
In conclusion, Catherine, the Princess of Wales, managed to leave the hospital without being snapped by photographers.
Speculation suggests that she left in a separate car, while her personal assistant transported her belongings.
This incident has shed light on the disturbing lengths to which paparazzi will go to capture images of the royal family, prompting the prince and princess to issue a stern warning against stalking their children.
They emphasize the importance of their children’s right to privacy and the desire for them to lead normal lives outside of palace walls.
