Social media leaking news of POW hysterectomy

It goes without saying its only her business, however I found it odd that whilst 'doomscrolling' from sleeplessness I came across a couple of posts from US news sites claiming they had news obtained from 'Palace sources' posted onto SM.

We all know that KP is somewhat leaky but over something like this? (I suppose Maybe if the price was right?)
Or is it just speculation passed off as the truth?
Or, are US news sources avowed to publish info that uk ones aren't?

I'm not particularly interested in what she's had done, surgery is unpleasant, full stop, But I'm just wondering if there's a reason the story is in US but not uk news-if it even real ( which seems slightly unlikely I would think, but then you never know about anyone personal life).
Just found out odd and curious as to the whys

No. It was just that you seemed quite sure in your original post that you knew what was wrong with the Princess. If that was not your intention then I apologise but that was the impression I got from your post and your talking about putting 2 and 2 together. That to me suggests more “certainty”than “possibility”. And you also said you were not speculating but of courses you are. As are many others. I am just observing that no one knows what is wrong with her. Which I am also allowed to do. That is not being the thought police

Yes, you are quite right - no-one on here, as far as I am aware knows for sure. We are all just pitching in opinions/thoughts. I just really wish HRH the very best and very much hope she is as ok as she can be under the circumstances, and just want her to be well ❤️

Poor old fergie that’s such a shame. I wasn’t her biggest fan back in the day, but I liked seeing her at her daughter’s weddings and at Christmas. I must be getting soft in my old age.

Are you me?

I am exactly the same.

user1477255159 · 22/01/2024 21:18

@Emotionalsupportviper and @Tlolljs Fergie's got her press team to ramp up a PR overdrive. Going to Church with the family at Christmas, appearing on the TV to "help" the public, sharing her medical issues etc.

You mean you don't immediately turn to "QueenRMade1" when you want reliable, well informed insights into royal affairs?

My guess is that POW has not had surgery but being treated for another illness that doesn’t involve any surgical intervention.

BrittleVeneers · 22/01/2024 22:54

I feel that Kate’s health is Kate’s business. Does this mean Angela Levin, who constantly denigrates Meghan, is now ‘persona non grata?

I fucking hope so. But I doubt it:

Theunamedcat · 22/01/2024 22:58

Her health her business im inclined to believe it is abdominal surgery though as she has been touching her stomach a lot lately leading to some people speculate "number four" was on its way she seems to have been uncomfortable since the summer

i don’t think so. The palace would not blatantly lie like that.

MoneyMoneyMoneyy · 23/01/2024 05:56

Who cares what Angela levin thinks? Silly old bat. How dare she insinuate that Kate is mentally ill and William will know how to deal with it - it’s outrageous. As Camilla’s biographer you wonder where she gets this information from….Harry did say Camilla leaked things to the press about him….I didn’t believe him at the time, but now….

MoneyMoneyMoneyy · 23/01/2024 05:58

Is Angela Levin Camilla’s mouthpiece? That’s what it looks like to me. Patronising as well

I always thought putting two and two together was entirely subjective. When I say it I mean that I have been thinking and come up with an opinion. Doesn't mean it's true.

Thank you! I really couldn’t be bothered to dig into this inane exchange any further and explain the bleeding obvious. You’ve done it for me 💐

MrsFinkelstein · 23/01/2024 07:54

Angela Levin also wrote a lengthy biography of Harry - as Harry's biographer, I wonder where she got the information on Catherine? 🙄

In other words - Angela Levin writes crap about all the Royals - it's literally her job.
There's been zero information released following the initial statement, so she's hypothesising just like everyone else to get attention.

You're right of course .

That's me back down to earth with a bump.

I do find I have to keep reminding myself about the selling introductions to Prince Andrew grift.

Absolutely. Whether it's true or not about MH issues Angela Levin shouldn't be implying anything.

Leave the woman alone. She's ill, and whatever the problem is, it's private.

Which of us would want our personal medical history discussed by millions of people?

They wouldn't dare lie so blatantly (although we must not forget the palace did lie with Meghan's birth announcement claiming they were on the way to hospital when the baby was already long born).

But considering the work W&K put into mental health causes, it would be unthinkable for them to cover up a psychological ailment requiring lengthy treatment as something shameful.

I understood that H and M insisted that statement was announced to throw people off the scent ?

Very likely but H&M could have also not issued any statements at all and then a truthful one announcing the birth. It feels archaic and piss-taking when Royal Statements have outright lies in them because it smacks of putting the lowly subjects in their place who are eagerly waiting for a scrap of news from their monarchs. It transpired much later that the birth was in Central London rather than the hospital nearer to Frogmore Cottage which they led people to believe they would use. If the press were genuinely so intrusive, then that fact would have come to light much earlier but they were clearly given privacy and discretion.

Obviously this has nothing to do with Kate and I genuinely believe the recent statement is 100% accurate. I also don't think the Palace would dare to lie regarding the timeline as many surmise (eg an easier op with a deliberately long recovery time). Whatever it is, it probably needs that long.

I think that the absolute sht MM had to endure when she admitted to having mental health struggles that led to a suicidal ideation is also shameful. If KM is really going through something like this for me it begs a question about the RF insistence on remaining silent on various issues. I get why not doing so would set a precedence, but the fact that they allowed Camilla's henchmen to stick the boot into MM is reprehensible (Piers Morgan and the other one who said that she should have sht thrown at her as she was paraded through the street). I am surprised that MM has not been admitted to a psychiatric ward after all she has been through, but the press would have a heyday and mock and deride her if she was. If KM has mental health struggles it would reflect really badly on the RF and back up what PH said about the detrimental effect of joining that family on women's mental health. KM has played along so far, but this could be the breaking point (if it's true!)

I think this is wrong.

The Palace might use all sorts of PR devices in its communications, but an outright lie won't be one of them.

And I don't see why there needs to be a different explanation to the one given - any doctor can come up with abdominal procedures that would typically take that long in convalescence.

Reasons may be given if/when she chooses to talk about it. And I sympathise completely with someone waiting until they are recovered before deciding what they are going to do.

Not a Royalist at all but I wish KM well and whatever it is I hope she recovers fully and speedily. .

I think it could have been a routine op but she had complications or an an unexpected infection afterwards.

My main point though is I don’t think her PR team have handled it particularly well. They didn’t say enough to stop speculation or alarm although I fully support the fact that if it is an hysterectomy it’s quite a sensitive op for many women. I know I felt bereft after mine despite the fact I couldn’t have any more dc.

On the other hand, the last time KM was in hospital there was that hideous incident of the radio prank and a nurse subsequently taking her own life so I can understand her team wanting to close down all communications.

So, they announced ahead of time (2 months ahead) that the public weren’t going to be told straight away. Harry and Meghan never intended for there to be an announcement when Meghan went into labour etc..

I think no member of the public has any right to know about the medical matters of the women who marry in, that’s for sure. I think it’s really invasive. They shouldn’t have to put out any news at all regarding their health issues.

User3563573 · 23/01/2024 10:39

Harry just dropped the libel case so there is concrete proof that he and Meghan lied about things in order to manipulate public opinion. They have squandered huge amounts of money for companies that chose to invest in them (Spotify, Netflix) so they aren't exactly the most reliable people in business or private. Very hard to say whether their claims of being bullied or harassed in the UK were objectively true or exaggerated. People with narcissistic personalities tend to play the victim in order to gain sympathy and manipulate opinions.
