On March 12, Kate and William visited a London brewery. Around them is a classic entourage: a crowd, flares, glasses. William, as usual, plays the role of “her boyfriend”, and the Princess of Wales stands behind the counter and does what protocol requires of her – demonstrates closeness to the people with alcoholic paraphernalia, informs Ukr.Media.
But this time there was a completely unprotocol melancholy in the air. Looking at this ale, Kate said a completely ordinary phrase – she said that after the diagnosis she hardly drinks. From now on she has to be more “conscious” about it.
It sounds so ordinary and human that it's even confusing. Usually, in such situations, you expect monarchs to utter memorized phrases about fortitude or gratitude to doctors. And here a woman who has just survived what is probably the most terrible year of her life, while the whole world was entertained by conspiracy theories about her disappearance, admits that now she is simply forced to count glasses.
When your body takes its toll on you, alcohol quickly loses its romantic flair and becomes a tedious bargaining chip with your own physiology. You're no longer just relaxing after a hard day, you're truly “consciously assessing the risks.”
And the way she immediately interrupted this moment of frankness, instantly turning to her husband: “You like cider better, don’t you?” is an absolutely brilliant social pirouette. The perfect maneuver of a grown woman. When you feel that unnecessary sympathy is about to pour out or hard looks are about to begin, just change the subject to something silly. Let it be cider. Let them discuss apple fermentation, not your medical records.
