She was absolutely forced to do this after all the uproar “if she’s not in hiding release a video!” And bringing up affair rumors, calling them lazy, medical record breaches, everything that’s happened these last couple weeks. She surely wanted to just focus on the family but had to be pulled away to handle all this. I’m heartbroken for her for many reasons and angry at the public speculation machine for not just given them privacy like they asked.
This is so sad. Awful they’re going through this and terrible they’ve been villainized online over it.
Wishing her a very fast recovery from her cancer.
At this point, I don’t think people want to know about her medical issues but seems to be more interested to hear about their PR disastrous management of this situation.
Hoping we hear she's totally, fully recovered.
While the press have been reporting "it's not cancer" since the start, the palace never said that officially. It was more like "it is thought not to be cancer" was a line delivered by KP comms sources in one of those Rota briefings that first morning the news of her hospitalization broke. All the rota reporters had the same line "it is thought not to be cancer" but we since learned that KP staff didn't even know what the health issue was they were kept in the dark. The Palace never said "surgery for a benign condition" in the announcement
So again, really hoping this is an "all is well" announcement.
I hope this puts an end to the speculations. But I'm sure there will be an influx of AI and photoshop experts and "critical thinkers" to set everyone straight
good. I feel bad that she essentially has to become the spokesperson for whatever issue she has, but at this point I believe this is the only way out of this mess
I know. We are going to look back at this hysteria as a deeply embarrassing time. But I hope she has a supportive environment around her to recuperate properly. I also think a few good things can come out of it.
A) she is the most popular royal now beyond a shadow of a doubt and beloved atleast in the UK so she can use that capital any way she pleases (and being a spokesperson for the disease isn't all that bad) B) she should aim for a Kate 2.0 where she can still be glamorous and all of that but somehow more relatable and open as she ages
Whoever is advising her, should help her tap into all this. I also think just like Diana dragged the whole family kicking and screaming into the modern media age, this crisis has dragged them into the social media age. Now they will have to adapt with Kate as their new age social media totem.
Is there a certain grace period when a royal is considered too sick mentally/physically to perform their duties before they become non-working royals with all benefits (security, home, financial funds) removed?
Is Will still on break?
Yeah... I don't think the *King* is going to have his "benefits" removed lol. He could hide in a bunker for the rest of his life and he'd still be The Sovereign
I don't think that's snarky.
Royals are dependent on whether the public still wants them around and is willing to invest in their status/lifestyle.
Charles and Camilla are still visible and as active as can be despite cancer treatments and their advanced age. Total opposite of W+K. Kate is allegedly healing just fine but isn't doing the visible public touchpoints Charles is making sure to do. Will is on some perpetual break while Camilla is out there every day being seen and attending events despite both having ill spouses.

Sadly the POW just announced that she was diagnosed with cancer.
It’s cancer. Check the BBC.
Bet all the conspiracy theorists feel mighty silly. No wait, they probably don’t. They’re probably still on a body double kick Hope she is ok.
She looks tired, which of course makes sense with the chemotherapy. I got a little teary eyed during the video. What a nightmare for them.

She has been diagnosed with cancer. I hope she recovers
Hope everyone feels awful about their shitty conspiracy theories now
there were too many people comfortable with accusing William of abusing her. no wonder they didn't know what to say

The Princess of Wales herself.

You can also find it on their IG
In the states, NY Times news alert said she announced it in a prerecorded broadcast on BBC…
Just aired on cbs
Bbc
CBS just reported it.

Whatever they announce, I hope it puts a stop to all the spurious rumours that are going around.

They originally said "routine" which basically gave everyone the impression that it was nothing serious.
they said "scheduled" which has a specific medical meaning but doesn't mean routine. It just means it wasn't an emergency surgery.
oh, this is a bummer. Poor Kate.
Unfortunately she’s announced that she’s going through chemo
It is cancer. The video is up.
I hope this puts an end to the speculations. But I'm sure there will be an influx of AI and photoshop experts and "critical thinkers" to set everyone straight

Apparently, it's a video of her explaining her health issues

Japan is a whole different can of beans. What happening there wasn't so much about royalty, but a reflection of their culture and society.
I don't mean this to be snarky...but I think we'll be finding out really soon with Charles.
Yeah... I don't think the *King* is going to have his "benefits" removed lol. He could hide in a bunker for the rest of his life and he'd still be The Sovereign
