Was she snubbed? Fans express their disappointment over the Royal Family's recent tribute
- Replies 0
International Women's Day is a day dedicated to honouring the achievements and contributions of women throughout history.
It should also be a day where people can appreciate the women in their lives.
While everyone was in a celebratory mood, royal enthusiasts were taken aback by a contentious post by the Royal Family.
In a post celebrating International Women's Day, the Royal Family's official channels highlighted the Royal Family's enduring support for female photographers.
The Royal Family has relied on these artists even way back to the mid-19th century.
The post featured a series of portraits of various Royal women captured through the lenses of pioneering female photographers.
From portraits of Queen Victoria taken by Frances Sally Day to contemporary shots of The Duchess of Edinburgh by Christina Ebenezer, the post was a testament to the artistic vision of women behind the camera.
The post included portraits of Queen Elizabeth II, Queen Camilla, Queen Victoria, Princess Anne, Queen Alexandra, and The Duchess of Edinburgh.
However, upon scrolling through the slideshow, royal fans noticed the absence of two Royal women.
Princess Catherine and Princess Diana were not included in the tribute post, which sparked a wave of disbelief and disappointment among admirers.
Royal fans quickly voiced their shock and dismay over this 'disrespectful omission'.
'Where is HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales?' someone asked.
'One of the most popular and influential members of the Royal Family, and one of the members of the future of the Monarch. It's insulting at its worst.'
'You're missing The Princess of Wales, both of them,' one commented.
'With all respect, I think the Princess of Wales should have been included in this list,' another shared.
'She is both a great photographer and has been pictured by women too, like Millie Pilkington.'
Many royal onlookers shared the same sentiment, as they felt that Princess Catherine deserved recognition.
Amid the uproar, some tried to offer explanations to fans.
Some suggested that another photographer took the majority of the Princess's portraits.
Others pointed out that the Royal Family's account typically does not feature the Princess of Wales, as they had their separate social media presence.
Despite these attempts at justification, one fan suggested a perfect compromise.
'A fab post, but it also should have included a photo of Princess Charlotte taken by her mother, a wonderful photographer in her own right, The Princess of Wales,' they shared, highlighting the young Princess's charm.
Earlier this week, Princess Catherine of Wales paid tribute to a young female photographer who passed away last year.
Princess Catherine shared the story of 17-year-old Liz Hatton to the world through a separate International Women's Day celebration.
The Royal Family's social media team may have had their reasons, but the oversight certainly struck a chord with the public.
It raised questions about inclusivity and the acknowledgement of the contributions of all Royal Women, especially on a day meant to uplift and celebrate women all over the world.
