A number of DM columnists have been snarky about the video.

And much of the snark is coming from the same people who were screaming "Where's Kate? We need to see her. We need to hear her to know that she's okay".

Now they are upset because William and Catherine are not using the traditional methods of communicating through press releases and statements from the "Grey Men". Well, if that's what they wanted, they shouldn't have complained when that was what they were receiving.
