The prince and Kate together in Klosters”was the headline.
The affair was an open secret, but there was no proof, which is why the work of paparazzi Jason Fraser turned out to be a bombshell. It should be noted that this is the same photographer who captured the princess Diana on her last summer vacation, when he spent several days on a yacht with Dodi Al Fayedbefore they both died in the tragic accident in Paris on August 31, 1997.

Kate, the favorite
Exactly two decades have passed since that first photo of the current princes of Wales, who in 2024 are going through one of the most complex stages of their marriage. Kate Middleton’s illness forced her to hide from the press for months, and under pressure she had to come out to give statements about what was happening.
She is now undergoing preventive chemotherapy treatment after being diagnosed with cancer: “Having William by my side is also a great source of comfort and peace of mind.”he said in the video published by the BBC where he reported the news to the world.
And despite the rumors that link her to racist statements against Meghan Markle, and other types of scandals within the royal family, the truth is that she is currently one of the favorites. Even Carlos has had secret meetings with her, leaving out her own son.
