Get it right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The royal family member took to social media for a Remembrance Day tribute. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice,\u201d she wrote in a handwritten note. \u201cWe will remember them.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>She then signed the message with \u201cCatherine.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Although she has been married to Prince William since 2011, Princess Catherine has often been referred to as Kate Middleton. <\/p>\n<p>The BBC\u2019s apology came after a commentator described life as a \u201cliving hell\u201d for members of the royal family. <\/p>\n<p>Kinsey Schofield, host of the YouTube series<em> Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered<\/em>, spoke to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/prince-william-kate-middleton-change-game-royal-life-dubbed-total-hell-by-insider\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fox News Digital<\/a> about the lives of a royal family member. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a living hell to be a member of the royal family,\u201d she stated. \u201cThe public has higher expectations of you. You are held to a higher moral standard. Other people have a say in who you marry. You are expected to look beautiful and always behave yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She further called out the public\u2019s criticism of royal family members and their appearances. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year, reality TV flunky Narinder Kaur made headlines after criticizing the appearance of Catherine, Princess of Wales,\u201d Schofield pointed out. \u201cShe said the princess was aging poorly \u2014 and this is after we all knew Catherine had cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The commentator also pointed out, \u201cImagine surviving the fight of your life, only for commentary to focus on your physical appearance. Your babies are immediately in the public eye. You struggle in school to make friends because you don\u2019t know who sincerely wants to be your friend and who is using you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schofield then noted that isolation is \u201ccertainly a problem\u201d for members of the royal family. \u201cThat\u2019s why\u00a0the late queen\u00a0loved surrounding herself with her cousins and old friends,\u201d she added. \u201cThe queen knew she could trust her family members \u2014 and that they understood her unique circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.suggest.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BBC has apologized to royal family member Kate Middleton after the media outlet faced extensive backlash over its coverage of Remembrance Day (also known as Armistice Day).
