Prince William and wife Kate Middleton are said to be under strain from picking up the charity duty slack left by the world’s most publicity-shy couple.Royal commentator Jennie Bond, 71, said Wills, 39, and Kate, 40, expected the prince’s brother and his actress missus to help them run the mental health text line Shout they set up together.She said about the other couple’s departure from the UK for America: “It’s been quite tough on William and Kate, with their young family, to step up and take on so many more responsibilities.“They obviously set up Shout with the idea that the four of them would share out the workload and now it’s just the two of them.“William has an awful lot else to do, so Kate is shouldering more of the workload.

It must be difficult with the children, but they are getting used to the reality.”Jennie famously worked as royal correspondent at the BBC for 26 years, and has previously described how she had to be positioned near a phone at all times of day in case some major news emerged from the Palace.She has been a firm critic of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry even before their sensational exit to California, and told Yahoo!Life in 2019 that she needed to rein in her "massively extravagant" spending to avoid irritating the public.Jennie said: "What I think that Meghan has to be careful of is that she’s so, pretty much A-list celebrity as well as senior royal."I am getting the feeling that the public don’t like her terrifically spending huge quantities of money."It was revealed last month that Harry and Meghan raised less than $50,000 (£37,000) for their chosen charities in 2020, and even spent more on legal fees in the same period.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the.
