Who exactly is being hypocritical?

Yeah. I should’ve put it that way. It doesn’t matter that his name won’t immediately ring a bell for some folks. He’s a famous filmmaker and he’s working with the Cambridge’s for a worthy issue...mental health. That’s what’s important. The work.

It doesn't matter if royals have celebrities as friends, what draws comment is when those celebrities seem to be leveraging that relationship in some way.

Go back and read up about what’s been said about William’s dad, mom and other members of the family and you’ll come across some famous friends giving comments about who the royals are and the work they do. Again, this has been going on for decades. People complaining about it don’t make sense.

Please note that some posts have been edited or deleted since they serve only incite the wrong kind of debate or discussion. As with other threads specific to individual royals or royal couples, lets not drag other members of the Royal Family into the discussion.
Please be reminded that very many royals have friends, acquaintances and associates outside of the the royal world. Indeed it is not a new concept and is a fact. As such, it requires very little debate here and in other threads.
If members must make a specific point, please do so once and then move on.
Now let's get back to the actual topic of the thread.

I don't mean to put a downer on the intrigue of the film - though my mother has been involved with the film as part of public health and has been told that news of the project isn't meant to be out yet. PHE are chasing news outlets who have published articles about the project as only a handful of those who worked with the Cambridges on the project are meant to know about it at this point in time. I know news of it got leaked, so it's only natural for us to talk about it, but as someone who is mutually involved, perhaps we could refrain from posting about it until news is confirmed by an official source?

Would disagree with you there, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, Bridget Jones's Diary, Love Actually, come to mind.
Comic relief....
Possibly some wouldn't recognise his photograph, but would disagree that the everyday man would never have heard of him.

As Lorraine steps down next month, its likely one of her last such meetings with the couple. Jason Knauff will replace her in October.

BBC just launched the new Own It app, which recognizes if a child is typing something that could be upsetting to the person receiving it and reminds them to rethink what they’re about to send. It can also identify language suggesting a child is in trouble, allowing it to offer advice and encourage them to speak with a trusted adult.
The app has been developed with input and support from many of the organizations and individuals that make up Prince William’s Cyberbullying Taskforce.
“It is fantastic the BBC has launched an app which will provide support to young people as they navigate the online world,” William, 37, said in a statement. “I am delighted to see this positive and practical outcome resulting from The Royal Foundation Taskforce on the Prevention of Cyberbullying.”
