Prince William, Kate urged to ‘show up’ and own up to their responsibilities

Prince William and Kate Middleton are asked to not shy away from their duties amid latest the Royal scandal.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are told they should carry on as usual as uncle, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, spent a day under arrest.

Culture expert Nick Ede told HELLO!: "They have always been at the heart of cultural moments and they know that they have a duty to the country to show up and stay quiet.”

He added: “I think that we won't see them shy away from their responsibilities and most likely we will see them doing more 'PR-able' moments to build positive brand equity and headlines too."

Meanwhile, Royal expert, Duncan Larcombe, tells Rolling Stone: “This is something that is potentially hugely damaging, and for King Charles, it’s the stuff of nightmares.”

“It’s an indication that [Andrew’s] brother, the king, grasped how serious some of these allegations are,” says Larcombe. “This sort of shows that the royals knew what was going to happen. If they’re on a life raft after a shipwreck, Charles is not going to dive into the water to save his brother. Self-preservation is more important.”

“William’s head is screwed on and he realizes just how potentially damaging this could be for the wider royal family,” says Larcombe as he talks about Andrew’s nephew and future King, Prince William.
