Yesterday’s perfectly orchestrated picture op to commemorate the Cambridge children’s first day of school stood in stark contrast to Meghan’s ridiculous assertions from the previous week.
The Duchess of Sussex said in an interview with The Cut magazine that she would “never be able” to drop her son Archie off at school or pick him up without a “royal photo-call with a Press pen of forty people clicking shots.”
The Editors’ Code in the UK includes stringent guidelines to make sure that kids are allowed to do their schoolwork without unneeded interruptions.
Royal families are no different, thus William and Kate have been able to regularly run George to and from school since he was two without having a single image of their kids published in our nation.
The couple is aware of the British public’s sincere and charitable interest in their family, nevertheless.
They have made the decision to either release their own images of milestones or let a limited media group to record the occasion in order to strike a balance between this and their need for seclusion.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, accompanied by their parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are greeted by Headmaster Jonathan Perry as they arrive for a settling in afternoon at Lambrook School, near Ascot in Berkshire
Yesterday just three people were present – a photographer, a TV cameraman and a print journalist.
Mobile phones were not permitted so as not to unnerve the children.
The photo opportunity lasted under two minutes.
Aides said William and Kate ‘appreciated’ the ongoing care the British Press is showing around the privacy of their family.
The tiny group was accompanied by a single Kensington Palace press officer, who had coordinated with the Duke, Duchess and the school.
Around half a dozen protection officers dressed discretely kept carefully out of sight, with no other members of the media permitted to attend in order to keep the afternoon calm and relaxed for the nervous little royals.
The media group stood a short and respectful distance away, watching the Cambridge family approach the school steps.
They were quickly ushered away as soon as they entered the school.

The family’s new Windsor home, Adelaide Cottage, is just a short drive from Frogmore Cottage, where Harry and Meghan are presently residing while they attend engagements in Germany and Britain. Yesterday, the family traveled there by vehicle.
Despite the fact that both of the family houses are at least on the Queen’s Berkshire estate, there are no preparations for the two families to meet due to their extreme estrangement.
William believes it would not be safe to get in touch with his brother until his cash-cow book and Netflix documentary are out because he feels so profoundly betrayed by him.
It was revealed yesterday that the Sussexes used a £45 million German taxpayer-owned Luftwaffe plane to travel to and from Düsseldorf, despite arriving in California on a regularly scheduled commercial flight and arriving in Manchester via train on Monday.
The pair was picked up at RAF Northolt by a German Air Force aircraft, which subsequently brought them back before heading back to Cologne.
