A trip planned for days, scheduled for Thursday 23 May, and canceled last minute: Prince William's decision to cancel his commitment seemed like a mystery, but in this case his wife's health could have nothing to do with it, as instead hypothesized by most a first moment.
In fact, on Wednesday 22 May, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced the next elections, which will be held on 4th July, and in circumstances of this type the members of the royal family are always inclined to reschedule their diaries, in order to stay away from the electoral campaign. How many people would go to a rally if they knew that the Prince of Wales or the King was about to arrive a few kilometers away? «Following the Prime Minister's statement this afternoon (yesterday, ed) who called the general elections, the royal family – according to normal procedure – will postpone commitments that could divert attention or distract from the electoral campaignBuckingham Palace said in a statement. A practice, in short, that hides nothing else.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla have sent public apologies for the changes that will be made, and so has Kensington Palace: «We look forward to rescheduling the trip in the future and are extremely sorry for anyone who has already traveled ». For the moment, therefore, we will not see William again any time soon, also because next week a period of holidays from school for the children will begin George, Charlotte and Louis, and therefore the heir to the throne, who is currently working part time so as not to make the children feel the discomfort of their mother's illness, will stay at home more often.
In recent days, moreover, he has seen each other on several occasions: at Buckingham Palace for a Garden Party and before that with his father Carlo, who awarded him an honor linked to his activity as a helicopter pilot. It should have been up to Harry. As is known, however, the second born has now left the golden circle of The Firm.
