What Did The Chief Executive Of Diana Award Say About The Conspiracy Theories Against Princess Kate?
The Chief Executive of Diana Awards, Tessy Ojo, was disappointed by the theories built up against the Princess of Wales. At an event, Ojo addressed the audience by saying, “It makes it even sadder as it took place against the backdrop of all the conspiracy theories of the past few weeks. It reinforces of the danger of the society we live in where rumors get picked up and almost become a false reality.”
The Chief Executive added, “Princess understands the power of the internet, which can be quite destructive, especially for young children. I know he has the tools to protect the children, particularly Prince George. They can lean in as a family without the external noise. She has a great family, and I have no worries.”
She further stated, “I would love for the public to learn from this and make people stop and think. When we think because they are public figures that we have every right to know the ins and outs and everything. I would hope this will teach us something as a public: that people should respect privacy and, that people have private lives, and that we don’t have to know everything. The least we can do is show kindness.”
