His advisers are trying to navigate between the public's hunger for information, speculation on social media and the need to protect two ailing men.
All these are a Big mistake.
The spotlight has shone even brighter in recent days Prince William He canceled at short notice a Mass at Windsor in honor of the godfather of Greece's late King Constantine.
He had to do a reading and his name was on the order of ceremony.
But less than an hour before the event started, the news came Kensington Palace.
“Unfortunately, the Prince of Wales will be unable to attend this morning's service due to a personal matter,” the note read.

Princess Kate underwent stomach surgery at a London hospital on January 17.
They said the princess was fine and the absence was unrelated to his wife's health.
But that was not enough to quell speculation.
Limited information
My own WhatsApp messages may have reflected many wondering.
What's wrong with Kate? Why didn't they tell us? Is that why William didn't come?
If you dig deep into social media and internet searches, you'll find that rumors about the princess's health are getting more ridiculous by the hour.
The lack of detailed information and Prince William's sudden absence fueled speculation.
We still don't know why the prince didn't show up for work. This Thursday he attended a program as planned.
Princes William and Kate's advisers are well aware of the internet gossip: they read it, they talk about it, they know the conversation.
But they insist on it Nothing has changed.
A spokesperson for Catherine played down the speculation on social media.
“Kensington Palace clarified the timeline for the princess' recovery in January. We said that We will provide meaningful updates only. “That decision stands.”

The health of the king and princess has sparked much speculation in the press.
Back in the public eye
Of course, there is the issue of privacy.
For Prince William, protecting his wife while she recovers is paramount.
Kensington Palace does not want details of her health to be made public, and her aides are not required to say anything more about it.
But when Catherine returns to public duties, the study will be intense.
All eyes will be on her.
What would it look like? What is perceived? Seems weird?
Her team is well aware of the fervor at the moment, so protecting her now is even more important.
They will choose very carefully when and how they will see her again in public for the first time.
