Jokes aside - the research paper this article is based on (Peng et al. 2015) is very interesting. Not sure where it can be accessed for free but if you happen to have academic access to it somewhere well worth a read especially for anyone who frequents the 'net and social media...

[Last week a spokesman re-iterated their advice that they were not going to provide a 'running commentary' on the princess' health, no matter how much they were provoked by nasty internet rumours.
'From our perspective, we were very clear from our statement at the start of this in January that the Princess of Wales planned to be out of public action until after Easter and that hasn't changed,' they said. 'We were always clear we wouldn't be providing updates when there wasn't anything new to share.]

Could anything be clearer? There is nothing whatsoever to gossip about. There seems to be excuses made that it is human nature to speculate, and that is true of certain humans I suppose; but for example there is a massive difference between a Royal asking for and needing privacy and rest after a serious operation and Royals who continually serve themselves up to social media and the press in their quest for attention and relevancy.
And it is no secret that admirers of those particular ‘Royals’ have a big part to play in those nasty internet rumours.

Nice to see you Kate

Id imagine a trip to the local offy to get a few cans, some papers and 50g of Amber Leaf

:flutter:

…sneaking to the off licence to stock up before the chancellor put the tax up on it all…?…we like a thrifty Katy…

That's what it seems like, some people badly want something to go wrong. The celebrity watch crowd can be rather ghoulish. Especially people who follow Hollywood trainwrecks.

Maybe when some royals say they want to be private .they actually mean it.maybe others could learn from them the meaning of the word

Yes. But I think people are genuinely worried. I just hope she's ok.

Ness. some maybe but most are just plain nosey and want something bad to happen .imo shes fine and enjoying a rest,plus its none of my business.they want to be private so thats how it should be.

:love: :wavey:

Yes,
but I am pleased we found she is well
and that she goes in that car with her mother.

No way is she missing

I miss some parts of using X, for example, like being able to search up small details (thanks, Elon) that do get leaked that are nothing like conspiracy theories. Just tidbits of information, for example, I had to dig through streams to see mentions of same information about a court case that could've probably been found much quicker using #hashtags or going through the replies of key accounts.

But then, I also value not being bombarded with cringe on a constant enough basis. At worst, I have access to fewer of the less important, but certainly juicy, tidbits... but I'm also not seeing as much misinformed gossip either and having my worldview skewed by the terminally online.

I just wanted to know what Hannah Gutierrez Reed's mum shouted to the court (and possibly her step dad) when she kicked off in court right after her daughter got convicted. That's all. :laugh: What a loss.

These days I only go on X to chat about the shows I watch. Mostly Married at first sight :laugh:

Your Title is Wrong
Pathetic you do not change it

Some of us weren't ever worried, but yes glad to see she is on the mend. She will hopefully enjoy many long years after she recovers.

Yes you are with the good folks
Maru.

It’s the same as all those that had such an issue with not seeing a baby when it was born, like it was their god given right to.
