When I wrote my article about Kate’s parenting – where I pondered why we comment the way we do, and asked us all to examine our thought processes before we write overly negative, insulting comments – I knew there would be people who would disagree with me, but I was not expecting the level of negativity that it brought me. And the depressing yet fascinating thing is that not everyone was even willing to read my article before dismissing my opinion, which proved my point about negative bias: that people judge based on their own preconceived negative opinions and aren’t willing to even consider an alternative option.
From the moment that Prince William and Kate Middleton announced they were expecting a baby back in December 2012, the topic of their parenting has been a heated discussion. Kate more so than William has gotten quite a lot of negative comments over the years about her parenting, and given the response to Kate’s interactions with Prince George and Princess Charlotte at Pippa’s wedding, I want to take the time to think about this question: Should we stop commenting on Kate’s parenting?
As part of the Heads Together campaign, Prince William has given an interview and done a photo shoot with GQ Magazine about mental health.

In April, William, Kate Middleton, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte were photographed at Kensington Palace for the magazine.
