Princess Kate faces scrutiny and lifestyle details in new royal analysis

Author Catherine Mayer, in her new book "Divide and Rule: Royal Women and Their Battles," explores the unique pressures faced by female members of the British Royal Family. Mayer notes that the public and press often project an expectation of perfection onto the Princess of Wales, adding to the inherent burdens of her role.

Mayer suggests that because the monarchy relies on marriage and reproduction for continuity, royal women face more intense scrutiny regarding their bodies and private lives than male royals or other celebrities.

In addition to these systemic pressures, reports on the Princess's personal lifestyle highlight her focus on health, noting her preference for nutrient-rich green smoothies containing ingredients like kale, spirulina, and matcha, alongside a focus on hydration through water.
