Actually I think she is quite professional. She is entitled to Parental Leave, and yes you are, as you say, harsh and uncaring. We do not even know if the children come into this at all, merely that it is possible. It is also possible, if not probable, that Madeleine herself is unable to attend.
Margareta Thorgren said to the press that Madeleine doesn't attend to My Big Day and WCF event because of the children. Queen Silvia said in New York that Madeleine is very sorry she can't attend but "she couldn't leave the little man, he is only three months old".
It would be much better if she said that she was on full-time parental leave and stayed with the kids in London. Then - if everything worked out well at home - she could turn up as a surprise visitor on different occasions, and make people happily surprised (instead of disappointed when she promises and then cancel).
This would be a great way to do, it is a pity that Madeleine hadn't thought about that.
