Catalina Middleton, un “enigma” real

LONDON.— “Princess Catherine is truly an enigma,” says Robert Jobson, British journalist, broadcaster and author of the recently published successful biography of the future queen of England.

During a meeting with foreign press correspondents in London, Jobson analyzed the emotional video in which Catalina announced this week the end of her chemotherapy treatment and the word “enigma” put the accent on the first sentence the journalist uttered, according to reports the Spanish newspaper “ABC”.

A comment, the newspaper added, that reflects the deep mystery and complexity that surrounds the wife of the heir to the British throne.

Through this audiovisual piece, Catalina Middleton offered an unprecedented glimpse into her personal life, marking a significant moment in her journey towards recovery and her return, albeit gradual, to public life.

Main message

In the video, Catalina appears surrounded by her family, enjoying the tranquility of the countryside.

His message, loaded with ideas of hope and renewal, is accentuated by an “eternity ring” that he wears in place of the engagement ring that belonged to his mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

“The main message that the video gives is the importance of love as a healing process. In the world we live in today, with so much bad news, I think it is a positive message,” Jobson said.

Among the images, there are some of Catalina walking through a field, stroking the tall grass with her hand, while sharing her thoughts about the end of her treatment.

“To all those who follow their own path with cancer, I am with you, hand in hand. Light can emerge from darkness, so let that light shine brightly,” the princess is heard saying, with a voice broken by emotion.

Jobson delved into how the Princess of Wales has managed her public life with a mix of mystery and controlled openness.

“I think she is someone who receives criticism, probably too many times, sometimes unfairly,” he said.

“I think she’s trying to please as many people as possible by hiring a professional videographer,” Jobson said, referring to the production of the video, especially after the harsh criticism she received a few months ago for a photo she edited herself. which was full of errors.

This approach, according to Jobson, is a reflection of Catalina’s prudence in managing her return to the spotlight, which will be staggered, since “she knows her limitations and will listen very carefully to medical advice. “I don’t think we’re going to see a dramatic change in direction in the next twelve months.”

“We will not see her more than once or twice in very controlled commitments until the end of the year,” since she herself stated that although the chemotherapy has come to an end, the road to recovery is far from over: “My path to “Healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.”

In the public eye

Prince William’s wife revealed her diagnosis in March, and has since been out of the public eye to focus on her recovery.

“Life, as you know it, can change in an instant,” he reflected, adding, in reference to his family, that “we have had to find a way to navigate the turbulent waters and uncertain path.”

Jobson, for his part, explained that the cancer diagnosis and treatment influenced the publication of his book, whose delivery he had to rush, and which has already been translated into twenty languages.

Such is the interest that the princess generates beyond the borders of the United Kingdom.

In addition to their health, Catherine and Guillermo are navigating the challenges of maintaining their privacy and that of their three children while fulfilling their royal duties.

For Jobson, maintaining his private life and fulfilling the public interest is “a very difficult and delicate balance,” and that is why Catalina has made a conscious effort to manage his exposure in a way that allows him a full recovery without compromising his role within the royal family, while exposing itself as little as possible to new criticism, since according to close sources those of the past did great harm to it at a time of great vulnerability.— ABC
