Royal life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. As a matter of fact, the constant public scrutiny and judgement from the public can really take a toll. When Kate Middleton joined the family she received some rather blunt but useful advice from Prince Philip that likely proved useful in combating that scrutiny and judgment.
Philip’s words come from the 2021 biography Philip The Final Portrait written by royal author Gyles Brandreth which was recently revisited by Hello! Magazine. According to Brandreth, Philip was often one to dole out wisdom that he’d accrued over his many decades within the firm to the younger generation of royals.
