Prince William finds himself in a complicated situation that could jeopardize his popularity. In recent days, he has made a series of controversial mistakes.
First, his refusal to travel to Australia to support the British women’s soccer team in the World Cup final has been widely criticized.
This decision has been interpreted as a lack of commitment and support for women’s sports, which has caused discontent among his supporters.

The absence from the World Cup is not the only controversial decision that could have consequences for the future king.
The video that Kensington Palace published on social media the day before the final, in which William appeared with Princess Charlotte cheering on the Lionesses, was of no use.

The appearance of Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, in the company of Prince Andrew has caused even more controversy. Prince Andrew has been banished from the monarchy for his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, a known sex offender.
William and Andrew were photographed vacationing together at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, the first summer without Elizabeth II.
Following tradition, the family attended a service at Crathie Church that Sunday, a service the Duke of York did not want to miss.
Andrew arrived at the church in the car driven by William, he sat in the front passenger seat while Kate took a place in the back.
As expected, the comments against have taken over social media.
No one understands this move by Buckingham Palace, especially after the week of criticism that accumulates the future king.

These mistakes could have negative consequences for the popularity of Prince William.
The lack of support for women’s sports and the association with someone linked to a scandal as serious as the Epstein could undermine the trust and respect that the public has for him.
