Prince William and Kate Middleton is taking legal action against Tatler, regarding the cover story it made about the Duchess of Cambridge for its July/August issue. The couple reacted on its claim that she feels "exhausted and trapped" after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left their royal duties that dramatically increased her workload.
Prince William and Kate Middleton wrote legal letters to Tatler for publishing a "swathe of inaccuracies" about the future queen consort. Allegedly, the Cambridges are angry about the malicious assertions about her, demanding the removal of the magazine's story, titled Catherine the Great, from the internet.
The publication made a lot of claims about the mother-of-three, from the reason behind her alleged feud with the Duchess of Sussex to her workload in the monarchy. Allegedly, after the so-called Megxit, she was left with a lot of things to do that made her work "as hard as a top CEO," Mirror Online noted.
The story was written by the author Anna Pasternak and used an alleged friend of the royal family as a source, who said that Catherine was mad about the workload. Although she is always smiling and dressing perfectly for every occasion, she does not want the job.
She is said to be feeling exhausted and trapped, like a top CEO, who always has to present someone or something all of the time. She has been doing these things even without the "benefits of boundaries and plenty of holidays."
The Court Circular records contradict the assertions that she had taken more jobs when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left. In fact, it recorded that she has done fewer royal engagements this year compared to last year.
Kensington Palace opposed the claims and released a rare statement about the issue. It said the story was full of "swathe of inaccuracies and false misrepresentations" that it did not see before the publication. Prince William and Kate Middleton are also upset that Tatler needs to use her weight and family as references.
In response, the magazine's editor-in-chief stood by the story made by Anna Pasternak and her sources. He even said that Kensington Palace knew it was writing Catherine the Great months ago before it was yet published. He also claimed that they asked the palace to work together on it, and its denial was "categorically false."
According to Daily Mail, Tatler indeed approached Kensington Palace in February. However, it only requested for Kate Middleton to pose for the cover photo of the magazine or provide them with an exclusive image. Sadly, its request was denied.
It also dismissed Prince William and Kate Middleton's legal complaint. It confirmed that it was true that it received a legal letter from the royal couple's lawyers, but it believed that it has no merit.
