Shame on each single one of you. well, the bbl thing was obviously a joke. the speculations about cancer, divorce or dv were indeed problematic
Trent W Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Poor woman I feel for her, hope she recovers Something needs to be done about conspiracy theorists and such. The internet has amplified this use It's inhumane for her to be going through this and on too of that and deals with the unnecessary ****
ChrisTheLoner Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Cancer is a terrible disease, no family should ever have to go through it I hope she makes a healthy and speedy recovery

Now that we know the truth ofc the jokes and conspiracies look silly, but it was the palace's fault for their lack of transparency. Why couldn't they just say so earlier instead of all those weird PR moves like the photoshopped photo to pretend everything was fine. The royal family are not like regular celebrities, they are naturally under heavier scrutiny and need to have better communication. 1 hour ago, Kamil24 said: Why are you all feeling bad for the conspiracies and jokes? For a family that is funded by tax-payers, they could have been honest from the beginning instead of releasing fake photoshopped images. It's their own fault. It's being said in the press that they waited until today to announce it because today their children are starting Easter break from school and they didn't want them to have to hear about this at school before they had the time to understand and process it themselves. Sure, the Mother's Day photo shouldn't have happened and could have been handled better, but the conspiracies and quite frankly, the glee and enjoyment that people have been taking from all the speculation about this is vile, when anyone with common sense could tell that they weren't addressing it because she was privately dealing with a serious health issue and wasn't ready to address it publicly yet. Yes, the royal family have to expect a certain level of scrutiny and are funded by the tax payer, but whether you like it or not, their status and funding doesn't depend on them being obliged to tell us about health issues they are dealing with. By no means am I a royalist, but I do find it kind of ironic that so many people criticise the tabloid media for how they harassed and hounded Diana until the day she died (and beyond), but now the public have replaced the tabloids and are doing essentially the same kind of harassment to Kate, and then come up with all sorts of excuses and justifications for why it's okay this time. 5 2
Anomaly Posted March 22 Posted March 22 (edited) 1 hour ago, Sugar-Rush said: Y'all were dragging this poor woman a week ago just because she wanted to keep her medical issues private. This is so misleading. It was a minority of people making unbelievable and insensitive jokes about her doing things like getting a BBL. Most people were not dragging Kate "just because she wanted to keep her medical issues private.” They weren't complaining about Kate at all actually. They were complaining about the palace and the media who were clearly pushing obvious lies. They threw Kate under the bus for the photoshopped picture which she obviously didn't photoshop. The media pushed a video of "Kate and William" going shopping which, given her diagnosis and other evidence, was not in fact a video of Kate and William. It was these lies that brought all of the attention on to Kate, and the public had every right to point out and question the lies being feed to them by the palace and the press. Most people were not bothering Kate and they were letting her recover in peace until the palace botched the PR in a very irresponsible manner. And it isn't the fault of regular people for demanding truth after being clearly lied too by people in power. My thoughts go out to Princess Catherine and her family and I wish her a speedy recovery.

White Rabbit Posted March 22 Posted March 22 Someone I knew just recently passed away from cancer and it's a really sad thing watching the impact it has on their life. Really hoping her treatments are successful and that she can live a fairly normal life.

There are million of people around the world battling cancer alone or with minimal or no support at all. Kate is wealthy and has access to the best health care possible, and we're all here wishing her nothing but the best. Point fingers to the Palace who handled the situation in the worst way possible. 1

It was always obvious she was going through something and yet everyone had to FORCE her to reveal her own incredibly private and scary health concerns. Shame on all conspiracists.

To be honest, at this point it's not really the media, it's the public. The British press, at least the tabloid press, throughout this has completely followed the official narrative that was being given by the palace. Post-Diana, the British press is essentially an extension of the palace PR. The British press can't even publish paparazzi photographs of the senior royals without permission, which is why the picture of Kate in the car from weeks ago wasn't published by any British media outlets. I would guess that there are many journalists who have been aware of Kate's illness for weeks but haven't revealed it in the press.
Zaram Posted March 22 Posted March 22 The good thing is that this gives more attention to cancer and hopefully convince people to go to their yearly cancer screening. Wish her all the best. Cancer sucks.

I think she had right to privacy and how it was handled from the side of general public was unnecessary at least. I personally suspected it will be cancer or one other thing. In any case wishing her well.
