You never know what’s going on behind closed doors. And sometimes what’s behind closed doors should stay there but gossips can force it out sooner, in the most unfair way.

People will create narratives to fill an information void, it's human nature and inevitable, it's the entire reason that religion exist (for example). We didn't know where the sun went. We didn't know what lightning was. It was obvious that they weren't releasing information about Kate. SHOULD they have to? No, of course they shouldn't, but because of what they are and what they represent, they do - or silly gossip and rumours are entirely unavoidable.

The great irony of course is that the root of this is the deification of British royalty, whether it's what Diana was subject to, the Harry furore, or this latest conspiracy frenzy with Kate, it's all the same thing.

Oh no that's terrible news. She looks well. I hope she recovers.

…**** cancer, it’s relentlessly cruel…I wish Kate a full recovery and I know that she’ll have the very best of care as is possible in her medical team…her struggle through all of her words was so evident but I’m glad that she announced it herself as opposed to being more formerly from the palace as they may be very senior royals but they’re also a young family struggling through their days at the moment and struggling with serious disease…be well, Kate……

It's preventative treatment. So fingers crossed everything goes well.
This is the last thing I thought was going on.
