Tbf, you were right that something was up.

In this particular case, I wish you were wrong though.

We knew she was sick in a significant way and that's obvious by the length of recovery, so there's nothing new here in that aspect. I'm horrified it's cancer-related, especially since it was first said it was not. Seriously heartbroken.

Health for me is a touchy subject and so I understood from the very beginning why she would keep her lips sealed. Re: Recovery time, I'm familiar also having had a c-section, how you really can't lift anything for a while and it progresses gradually as time passes in terms of how much you can actually lift. I am a woodworker, which helps me keep in shape, and I did not feel comfortable lifting plywood panels I think for almost a year. I was told for a year the tissue was still vulnerable also and so another pregnancy was not advised.

The overreaction to the secrecy though was from the beginning, not even since the cancer diagnosis. The whole situation is terrible and sad and I'm sad for the entire family.

Yes Maru,
at least that video went out all USA
on every TV news.

Like it was at 6PM UK time
yesterday.

One of our news channels
Ch5HDnews "suddenly" which ends just before 6PM
was extended by 30 mins
So I knew something like this was on its way.

Speaking for myself, I was just concerned that she might've been in an even worse situation than she's currently in (which is bad enough I know,) but I was worried that she was secretly already dead, which I'm glad that she's not.

And if you don't mind me asking, but are you and your child in good health? I understand if you don't want to answer the question.

It did not help that the other thread
spreading Lies.


Now it is Padlocked
which helps us all.

Hopefully the fatal stuff stays as lies.

We are all doing fine :love: They definitely don't give realistic time as to how long recovery actually is even without complications, so it's good Kate took the extra time for herself and family (pre-cancer diagnosis)

I don't think that they could hide a death anyway because of death certificates. Her kids were still going to school amidst this.

I wonder also if they would delay saying much more anyway because of Charles chemotherapy. The focus should really be on him anyway and his recovery as he's current monarch and working?

That's good to hear that you're all doing well.:blush:

Logically speaking you're correct, I sometimes do have a habit of overthinking things, and come up with crazy paranoid theories in my head.

Tbh for Charles, due to his age it's going to be a real tough road ahead for him, I really hope that he can pull through.

…the around Easter time of Kate returning to royal duties was obviously never going to happen…but it was given specifically because the Easter school break/end of spring term was when the family intended to talk to George, Charlotte and Louis…?…that’s when they were going to originally be told of their mother’s diagnosis, when they had time out of school and lots of time for questions to be asked and answered etc … and then another public announcement would have followed shortly afterwards, I would think…

…anyway, an announcement/statement from Harry and Meghan…

“We wish health and healing for Kate and the family, and hope they are able to do so privately and in peace,” ….

it's bad enough when 1 family member is going through that, 2, is unthinkable

…well 3 family members if Sarah Ferguson is added as well …plus, obviously a shocking death in the family recently…suicides aren’t a very often royal family circle occurrence, are they…it definitely has Elizabeth’s words of ‘Annus horribilis’ very much applying atm…

…but yeah, two very senior royals with the King and the future Queen…

at least he apologised i guess...

Years ago, I used to think cancer was a very bad luck thing. Haappened to some people but not a lot.

But now, we hear, 1 in 2 people are expected to get it.

That's an insane statistic.

…on a positive balance to that, there are many positive prognosis and outcomes /full recoveries etc that we didn’t associate so much back in the day…it’s a gruelling time and horrendous to go through but there is also much optimism with many prognosis…

3 because also Fergie

oh sorry just seen Ammi's post

Exactly, it's literally only two months since she had a pretty major operation in hospital. It's hardly a major 'information void' that needed filling. Are we so desperate for royal news that someone not making public appearances weeks after surgery means we must speculate that she's being abused, suffering from an eating disorder, is suicidal, has been cheated on, wants a divorce and all the other rubbish we've heard recently.

It is quite something to see people who were giddy at all the gossip and conspiracy theories now either claim they don't care about the royals or make out they are somehow vindicated because this proves 'something' was wrong and there was a cover up after all. Except the something was not quite as exciting as they'd hoped.

There is a legitimate debate to be had over to what extent the royals can expect privacy. The fact they made this announcement, and the Kings announcement, shows that they don't think they can maintain total privacy for too long. But that debate is a world away from the speculation that has existed.

"King Charles III is showing his support to Kate Middleton after she revealed the news of her cancer amid his own cancer battle.
A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said that the reigning monarch is “so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did.”

Following their time in the hospital together, Charles has “remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks.”
The spokesperson furthered that he and Queen Camila “will continue to offer their love and support to the whole family through this difficult time.”

Yeah I find those incessant tv and radio adverts stating that 1 in 2 people WILL get cancer very depressing

Earlier this month, Markle did a speech for International Women’s Day about the toxicity of social media, especially where women are concerned. Did she refer to and blast the vile conspiracy theories about Kate, and at least ask her own rabid supporters to put a stop to their cruelty then, or at any other time? No. She used herself as an example by relating how she had suffered. She said nothing while those she is friendly with, like Kim Kardashian, Omid Scobie and others made their own little digs about ‘where is Kate’ on social media.
Meghan and Harry can stick their brief condolences to Kate right up their holes.

The irony is she’s talking about people like YOU.

And let’s be honest the amount of **** that’s been said about Kate in the last three months pales in comparison to the literal years that Meghan has had to deal with by the likes of people like you.

She can’t speak for anyone else, drawing from her own experiences I would say is the normal thing to do because like I say, she’s had it a bit worse than Kate has where social media is concerned. You won’t agree of course because it’s so engrained in your mentality to hate the woman.

Far as I’m concerned, the hysteria is around Kate is nothing. And it turns out the root of all the hysteria was because there was something amiss which people picked up on.

The hysteria around Kate has been pure speculation and conspiracy theories about her absence despite being told we would hear more after Easter....
She hasnt been lying or vilifying her family....we all now know what she has been dealing with since her operation.
There is no comparison between the drama queen and Kate whatsoever!!

Most of the hysteria around Meghan is pure speculation and people projecting their own conspiracies as fact.

Once again, I don't do social media and I don't do conspiracy rubbish. I deal with peoples own words and actions.
The contrast between Kate, a gracious, dignified, private woman and Meghan, the attention seeking "I want to break the internet" fame ***** is the difference between day and night.
Meghan (and Harry) hand us topics to talk about them on a golden platter.
It's worrying that you can't see the difference.
This is the last time I will be responding to your BS, because you just spout the same senseless rubbish over and over again.
