As a royal aide shared to the Sunday Times’ Roya Nikkhah last week, William and Kate’s new motto as they face her health situation is, “100 per cent family first, day job second”.

Does that gel with the kids not be taken to meet Kate?

An argument put forward by the Mail’s English is that “ royals don’t tend to visit each other in hospital, or at least only very rarely.”

Except here comes that word again – ‘but’.

But we haven’t really had members of the royal family, aside from Prince Philip, in hospital for years now making this something of a moot point.

For example, His Majesty “made a beeline” for his daughter-in-law’s room when he arrived at the London Clinic this week while Queen Camilla visited her husband three times within the space of 24-hours.

I think that Camilla invest in some crystals, sage and the services of a half-decent shaman to sort of whatever bad juju or hex is hanging over Buckingham Palace.
