It’s a sort of permanent doom loop. And it’s the worst I’ve ever seen.”He further added: “I’m absolutely convinced that if we hadn’t had all the madness and social media, if we hadn’t had the sort of the Mother’s Day photo mistake, they would have still done it like this,” he said of Kate’s video statement on Friday. “They would have still waited till this last Friday when the schools are breaking up to make the announcement.”“We just have to come to terms with the new reality, there’s fewer of them,” he said. “And so everyone just needs to sort of understand that they will still be busy, they will get over this.
