The secret role that Kate Middleton has played in helping the monarchy progress has been kept undisclosed by King Charles for years. However, recent health complications necessitating the Princess Of Wales's withdrawal from royal duties have brought this secret to light. The clandestine roles numerous royal women, including Kate, Princess Anne, Queen Camilla, and Duchess of Edinburgh Sophie, have been dutifully performing are now being acknowledged. Kate's hospitalization for an abdominal surgery revealed the extent of her behind-the-scenes contributions. The significance of her contributions is felt heavily in her absence, especially by King Charles, who is relying on other family members to fill the void, and is also dealing with Prince Harry's departure. This situation underscores Kate's value to Buckingham Palace's image and appeal. Prince Harry, who also has had health issues, missed an opportunity to express empathy towards Kate's health struggle during a recent speech in Hollywood. Critics lambasted him for failing to mention his father's operation or Kate's surgery, choosing instead to charm the audience, leading to accusations of disrespect. The onus, according to the royal biographer Angela Levin, was for him to acknowledge his family's trials in a single sentence, and it was "horrible and disrespectful" that he did not do so.
