So that will hopefully shut people up. Poor Catherine, really hope she’s ok.

I don’t think it’s driven by ghoulishness or concern, anymore than watching the news is generates the same kind of discussion. It’s just making sense of the world around you.

I do think indulging in gossip and conspiracy is ghoulishness often dressed up as concern which is what has been fuelled by the media in recent weeks.

I think mixing the two stunts discussion where it’s merited and justified and in turn impinges on freedoms to speak. The princess releasing a statement is done with the expectation, thereby consent, that her words will be discussed.

The speed at which OP posted is very telling. Had she even heard the full statement/video before posting? It’s ghoulish.

But she won't be back after Easter, she's only just started the chemotherapy. Hence she's released an update.

Gossip as always happened, that's probably why you and I are both on Mumsnet! It always has and it always will. Kate won't be concerned about that, it's hardly new. She's been gossiped about ever since she met William.

I don't understand this outcry and damnation of the gossipers, extremely hypocritical given most people do it. No one knew she had cancer, had they, I'm sure people wouldn't have gossiped as you can see on the various boards; people now feel very sad for her. Fingers crossed the cancer was caught early and the treatment can be successful.

The gossip got completely out if control we have had

He beat her to death
Her lover was killed by her husband
Her husband has another woman pregnant
She is negotiating her way out of the royal family due to her husband beating/cheating
She is in a coma
She is being kept on drugs to stop her leaving
No one has seen her not even her staff
The butler said she hasn't been seen and her room stinks like death
Just of the top of my head
None of this is normal speculation

And they are still at it
KARMA
BODY DOUBLE
LIES NOT THE REAL KATE
ITS AI!!

fucks sake

Hopefully all the conspiracy dickheads will fuck off and leave her alone now.

I'm no royalist but have only best wishes for her recovery, especially so those little kids don't have to face losing their Mum so young, like their Dad did.

Shall we talk about the Palace announcing weeks ago that her condition "wasn't cancer related"? Isn't that a conspiracy to mislead?

Calliopespa · 22/03/2024 20:06

FlowerBarrow · 22/03/2024 19:43

I imagine reason 3) for announcing today is her children have just finished school for 3 weeks so hopefully all will have blown over amongst the other children by the time they go back

I agree. I hope everyone gets it out of their system before they go back.

She said in her statement when she went into hospital it wasn’t thought to be cancer. But was discovered while she was there. So it wasn’t a misleading statement at all.

It was quite deliberate. I couldn’t think of anything to alter in the other one.

Well deliberate or not: it seems extinguished was not to be. She’s up and posting on another thread- though at least having the sense to wish Kate well.

I just think it should all be pulled. It’s all dead speculation now anyway.

I agree that it’s ghoulish.

Had you even heard everything Kate said before posting OP? You certainly can’t have spent any time thinking about what she’s going through before posting. You’re not the only one, it seems there’s a few threads all posted very shortly after the announcement. When your first though on hearing sad news is to hurry to post on mumsnet, you’re in no position to judge others. Ghoulish.

So sad, especially someone so young and with a young family. Luckily she will have the best care and treatment. Her brothers post in Instagram just made me cry, regardless of how we feel about the royal family this is someone's sister, daughter, mother and wife. I wish her and every young mother fighting this disease the very best and get well wishes.

I loathe and abhor conspiracy theorists with every fibre of my being.

Me too. I have a feeling you might like a Podcast called 'Disaster Trolls' on BBC Sounds

I suspect someone has leaked her medical records for money and the pressure has been put on to say publicly what is wrong.

Gosh never thought of this, I had assumed they didn't get any information as were caught and suspended, but wouldn't it be awful if this happened.

Of course it isn't a conspiracy to mislead. Don't be stupid.

The cancer was revealed by post operative tests. Prior to this it was not thought to be cancer. That's perfectly reasonable.

HRTQueen · 23/03/2024 00:33

How sad and how sad it’s got to the point where she has had to make such a public statement let’s hope she is left alone to recover and time with her family

sadly it won’t happen the horrendous press and stupid idiots who want to debate conspiracies will continue

But after this release it's even clearer that it was a body double. Or an old footage.

Please don’t start. I suspect they have released it now for the very reasons they have stated - just as she was off work for the reasons stated : not a divorce, or a tantrum and walkout, or that she was dead or covered in domestic abuse bruises. Kate was ill. As it turns out, it was with cancer.

Yesterday independent schools broke up for Easter holidays. The children would hardly have been home and hung up their coats and bags before this was announced. They have stated they wanted the children to have a couple of weeks at home once the news broke in the hope - and here’s hoping - the nonsense dies down before they have to return. There is nothing inconsistent or hard to follow in that logic whatsoever. The facts fit the explanation perfectly. How about this time everyone just runs with what they have actually been told huh?

Are you for real? You're still at it!

Some people seem to have lost their brains down that conspiracy rabbit hole.
