Kate Middleton recently sparked favoritism after her recent video call appearance. Eagle-eyed royal fans immediately noticed that framed photos behind Middleton’s back while she’s talking about the 5 Big Questions survey.
On her left side is a photo of Prince George laughing while lying on the grass.
On her right is a photo of Middleton carrying Prince Louis during one of their first public outings at the Duchess of Cambridge’s garden display.
Visibly absent is a photo of Princess Charlotte. But Express said that it’s possible that Princess Charlotte’s framed photo is hidden behind the Duchess of Cambridge’s head.
In March, Middleton was also accused of playing favorites. On Mother’s Day, she and Prince William shared adorable photos of themselves piggybacking their kids outdoors.
Prince William is carrying Prince George on his back, while Middleton is carrying Princess Charlotte on her back.
Immediately after they shared the photo, Middleton was accused of favoring Princess Charlotte over Prince George that’s why she opted to carry her daughter.
Royal fans then examined the photos on Kensington Palace’s official Instagram account and they noticed Middleton is indeed more partial toward Princess Charlotte.
After all, she also shared a photo of her daughter while promoting her interview on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast.
However, to accuse Middleton of playing favorites seems like a bit of a stretch. After all, Café Mom said that her close relationship with Princess Charlotte may have to do with the line of succession.
Since Prince George is a future king, it is possible that he spends more time with Prince William because he’s the one grooming him for his future role. This leaves Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis with the Duchess of Cambridge.
Meanwhile, Middleton isn’t the only member of the royal family that’s been accused of playing favorites.
According to multiple reports, Queen Elizabeth’s favorite child is Prince Andrew because she was more involved in raising him.
In The Crown, the queen and Prince Andrew’s relationship was also highlighted with the latter confidently accusing Prince Charles of being jealous of their relationship.
Also, in the series, it was revealed that Prince Philip’s favorite child is Princess Anne because they share a slew of similarities.
But according to Express, Prince Philip’s real favorite child is Prince Edward. After all, the Earl of Wessex is the only one that has a photo of himself in Prince Philip’s study.
