Fitzwilliams acknowledged that every action taken by the royals carries a message of significance. It wasn't merely about enjoying the occasion with Prince George; it was a deliberate signal that indicated things were proceeding as close to business as usual as reasonably expected.
The expert also speculated on the potential attendance of Kate at the event, noting that while it would have been fantastic, it wasn't an expectation. He highlighted Kate's courageous video message on a health issue, considering it the bravest ever delivered by a public figure in Britain. Given her recent message, it was understandable that her presence was not anticipated.
Fitzwilliams emphasized that Prince William's return to royal duties in the near future was known, as the royal family relies on his involvement. The appearance alongside his son was deemed important, as it represented a semblance of normality, albeit with the understanding that very little is truly normal within the royal family at present.
Regarding William's role, the expert noted the burden he carries in looking after the children as much as possible. The outing conveyed a message that certain aspects of life are continuing as close to normal as can be expected.
