Kate always wore a protective mask on the premises, and only took it off when she was on the site. Although the Duchess of Cambridge complied with the rules, her actions nonetheless met with severe criticism. The British journalist Julia Hartley-Brewer (53) showed no understanding of Kate’s behavior and the temporarily missing mask * and vented her anger on Twitter.
The 53-year-old posted a picture of Kate without a protective mask and addressed clear words to her followers: “God makes me angry. All the rich people are happily enjoying Wimbledon without wearing masks while the staff and ball girls and boys are forced to cover their faces. Once again there is one rule for them and another rule for us. End this madness now. “Many users seem to share this opinion, Great Britain is currently struggling again with rising corona numbers.
