The author uses language that depicts the Queen as extreme or unreasonable by describing her as 'haunted' and 'did not hold back' in response to Prince William's actions. The author also implies that the Queen was being overly protective with the statement 'British royal protocol dictates that those in the immediate succession to the Crown should always travel separately, no matter their ages.'
