Windsor Royals are optimistic about a better year 2025
This could be one of those years about which it Britanniens Royal family . Hardly anyone from the Windsor clan could have predicted the challenges that in the early days of ’ Rule would come to them.
Prince William describes the year as "brutal"
Prince William, the heir to the throne, aptly represented in 2024 as "brutal" and probably "the hardest year of my life". The royal editor -in -chief of Britain's The Mirror , Russell Myers, describes the past 12 months as amazing. "It was just an unprecedented time, both for the people who had to deal with separate health problems, as well as in a broader sense a really challenging time for other members of the family."
changes in royal openness
The diagnoses of the king and his daughter -in -law shocked the royal observers, but also announced a change in dealing with the public. "We have seen a real openness within the royal family that we have never experienced," remarked Lizzie Robinson, journalist at ITV News .
The king's willingness to talk about his own health was particularly remarkable. Robinson added: "He wanted to raise awareness and encourage other men who may feel symptoms to be examined." After its announcement, there was a significant increase in search queries on the NHS website.
Prince William juggles with duties and family
In the middle of the health problems, Prince William temporarily withdrew from his royal duties to support his family. This left the 1,000 -year -old institution without three of its ranking members. "Camilla kept the royal show going for many months," said Robinson, adding that she was supported by other windsors, including Princess Anne and the Duchess of Edinburgh.
The change of Queen Camilla
Myers points out that Queen Camilla "would not have expected to be at the center of the institution." He emphasized: "Camilas change in the past decades has been remarkable, because not too long ago she was number one public enemy." Questions about their acceptance by the British public have now been exceeded by their role as a pillar of the institution.
Public return of Prince William
Prince William returned to public dates in April and has skilfully juggled his work and family duties since then. He held additional childcare in the background, while Kate continued to recover and represented the king twice in the event of government events in France. The pressure on the heir to the throne was both personally and professionally.
challenges for the sussexes
The challenges for the Windsors did not limit themselves to Great Britain. Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, went across the Atlantic, on several trips to Nigeria, Canada and Colombia , to promote their charity work and projects such as invictus and child protection on the Internet.
While these trips were not official visits on behalf of the British government, they still reminded of traditional royal tours, with solemn receptions and meetings with top -class personalities.
The upcoming challenges for the Sussexes
The sussexes also seem to have stalled in their business efforts. In March, Meghan returned to Instagram after a six-year break to announce a new lifestyle project, "American Riviera Orchard". Her latest Netflix offer, which gave an insight into the world of professional polo port, received mixed reviews.
One of the PR experts, however, was optimistic about the couple: "The next step was to start all these shops and things," said Peter Mancusi, a crisis management expert, in an interview with CNN.
Prince Andrew in the focus of attention
Back in England, Prince Andrew had almost a quiet year 2024 after earlier scandals. However, that changed when a court hearing revealed his close relationship with a suspected Chinese spy. This incident again raises questions about his judgment and could be a wake -up call for the Duke.outlook on 2025 and the efforts of the royal family
until the end of the year King Charles and Queen Camilla had again taken away visits to abroad and took a ten -day trip to Australia and Samoa. Robinson commented on the "real warmth and appreciation" that they received during their ambitious journey.
A palace employee informed CNN that the "treatment of the king is in a positive direction" and that plans for further trips are in the works in 2025.
