The Prince and Princess of Wales made a dazzling appearance on the red carpet at the Royal Variety Performance on Thursday night.
As they stepped out of their car, reporters bombarded them with questions regarding Omid Scobie’s new book, Endgame.
The Dutch version of the book has been temporarily removed from store shelves due to its alleged revelation of a conversation involving a controversial comment about the skin color of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s child before his birth.
In a video capturing the moment, reporters can be heard shouting, “Your Royal Highness, do you have any comment on Omid Scobie’s book?”
and “Did you watch the Piers Morgan show last night, Your Royal Highnesses?”
However, Prince William and Princess Kate chose not to respond or acknowledge the inquiries.
Instead, they walked towards each other, briefly holding hands, before William placed a hand on his wife’s back, and they gracefully proceeded down the red carpet.
Radiant and relaxed, the royal couple mingled with the stars of the show, including Cher, McFly, Paloma Faith, and Derren Brown.
Kate, adorned in a stunning green sequined gown by Alexander McQueen, exuded elegance, while William opted for a classic black tuxedo.
The contrast between Kate and Meghan could not have been more apparent.
While Kate shone on stage and charmed the crowd, Meghan remained hidden in her mansion, facing the wrath of critics.
Kate embraced her role and responsibilities, while Meghan rejected them and distanced herself.
Consequently, Kate was praised and admired, while Meghan faced scorn and disdain.
It appears that Kate Middleton has effortlessly overshadowed Meghan Markle on the red carpet and in the hearts of the people.
The royal couple also demonstrated their support and appreciation for the performers who entertained them with a variety of acts, ranging from comedy to magic to music.
They wholeheartedly laughed at the jokes of host Bradley Walsh, who playfully teased them about their family life and Netflix habits.
Additionally, they enthusiastically applauded and cheered for the talented artists who gave their best to impress the royal audience.
In regard to the controversial book, which serves as a sequel to their previous tell-all, Finding Freedom, it claims that two senior royals, Princess Anne and Prince Edward, made racist remarks about Archie’s skin color before his birth.
The book also alleges that the Queen failed to protect Harry and Meghan from the media and palace staff, who displayed hostility and provided no support for their relationship.
These claims have sparked immense backlash from both the public and the royal family, who vehemently deny the allegations and dismiss the book as a work of fiction.
William and Kate, however, chose not to dignify the questions with a response.
They simply ignored the reporters and continued walking towards each other, briefly holding hands before gracefully proceeding down the red carpet.
Their actions conveyed that they were unfazed by the drama and remained focused on their duties and charitable endeavors.
