Family members of commoners that marry into royalty always will be watched and treated like persons of interest. The Wittstocks and Middletons live near their daughters and the press will always report on anything they do. Other women that have married in to royalty, Princess Mary of Denmark, Queen Maxima of Holland have family that live outside of Europe and heir family members might not always be in Denmark or Holland. Princess Letizia of Spain and Princess Mette-Marit of Norway also have family that live in the same country where they will one day become queen consort and the press has hounded them and reported stories about Princess Letizia's sister's troubles and sensationalized the family situations of Princess Mette-Marit's family.
The press has not unearthed any scandal regarding Princess Charlene's family. They are commoners, working class people, honest people without noble pedigree or title. Ernst of Hanover had impeccable lineage. His cousins are Queen Sophia of Spain, King Constantine of Greece and so on. Even though his family had its share of gossiped about situations, he is a prince and that made him ok to marry other nobility. Commoners-stay-put-and-do-not-go-above-your-station is an old snob attitude that will not die.
Regarding the above criticism, Mike Wittstock was invited to a boxing match. No doubt because promoters want "celebrities" there. Nightclubs do this also. Invite someone known, have photos takenand promote their club. Guys talk about sports. It is a guy thing. Mike was being interviewed about boxing. Someone put a microphone in his hand and he commented on boxing. The Wittstocks and Middletons can's stay inside of their homes all day. They go out, enjoy life and are photographed. If the Middletons or Wittstocks were giving interviews about royalty and making comments and observations about politics, royalty and the economy etc.......then that would be quite odd. But attending a boxing match or enjoying an invitation to a horse race, who cares?
