Is the Royal Family's Comms Broken?

 

I am not a celebrity follower in general and in my world, this is what the Royal Family is to me--like, reality stars and not people who actually influence things. That said, something is very really broken here--because my social media is blowing up with "fake, fake, fakity, fake" regarding every attempt the Windsors are making at pretending all is well.

 Now, doing protocol or press is not my forte, but the Royal Fam could have just issued a statement like, a few weeks ago, that said "The Princess of Wales is still recuperating from her surgery and is unavailable for press and other events, but she appreciates the affection and well wishes she has received and looks forward to greeting with the public again as soon as she is able. In the meanwhile, please respect her privacy as she works towards her recovery."

Nonspecific but optimistic. No time frames. Appreciative but setting boundaries.

The Trump White House handled Melania's kidneys ever so much better, and they were a clusterfuck. What the whole entire hell? 

This weirdness is what makes it feel like, somewhere, someone is shitting the bed. If there's something badly amiss that can't be said--say nothing. Do nothing. Do not fake things are okay It's worse, so much worse for people to feel lied to than for them to just hear a permissible silence. Discretion--not deception.
