Spanish press reporting Kate was extremely ill

I don’t know how credible this is because I saw it on Twitter…

But apparently the media in Spain have reported that Catherine’s surgery was not actually planned, did not go smoothly and she was actually very sick/possibly in a coma for a period of time. And there has been a press blackout in the UK.

Could there be any truth in this? I’m struggling to see WHY something like that would be ‘hidden’ anyway 🤔

All these stupid threads, the ridiculous, mawkish speculation, and the foolish conspiracy theories are what's "tone deaf".

There's something badly wrong with our education system!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 WHAT?!? What on earth does this have to do with our education system.

If it was a media blackout a. KP would know what was going on which they don’t according to Private Eye and b. My BBC news friends would know and they don’t have a scoobies.

Private Eye is saying that a 'closed circle' within KP knows what's going on but 'Buck House' (as they call it) don't and are ticked off at William's hamfisted attempts to manage the situation.

The Eye, impeccably well-sourced, says that outside of this 'closed circle', no one has even SEEN Kate since she left hospital. By implication not Charles, not anyone. That is genuinely worrying.

I hadn't heard about the cars crashing into Buck House/Windsor Castle, @fairydust11 ... looking on the bright side at least it wasn't Andrew this time, thwarted by a closed gate Wink

JUST STOP PLEASE.

For all we know, your story about the Spanish press could be made up.

There is a very good feature in today's Times about how this interest in Catherine is bordering on bullying.

Just leave her alone - unless you want to contribute to her mental health demise.

It's really going too far and i wish @MNHQ would shut these posts down.

They have the responsibility to condition young minds to treat the RF with deference and believe what ever they say without question.

They said in January she's having surgery, will be in hospital for up to two weeks and won't be doing public duties until after Easter. What has changed?

Ahh I get you now. I inferred the divergence was between KP London (which houses Gloucester and Kent as well as the Wales) and the Wales’ private staff - which as they’re currently based Suffolk - perhaps going awol.

Buck House v KP makes more sense, but I’m surprised the greater RF staff at KP have been this naive.

Jeez can't the poor women recover in peace??
I'd hate for all my family and friends to know my medical history never mind the world!

It's old news that the palace refuted at the time.

Shame on you OP, respect the poor woman's privacy and keep your scaremongering for twitter.

What distinguishes Twitter and Mumsnet for circulating rumours? Why OK/ not OK on one and.
Not the other?

Lots of people endure uterine repair surgery and hysterectomy. They don’t go into hiding for 3 months. A good friend of mine had a uterine repair and she was back at work within a fortnight. Kate’s jobs are turning up somewhere staying a short time then leaving again. There’s no heavy lifting, or eight hours on her feet.

Her time off seems a bit tone deaf.

Why shouldn't she have an extended recovery period just because others are not in a position to do so? She is, and is taking advantage of it - most of us would.

Different people have different recovery times. For all we know there may have been complications with the Princess' surgery, or she may have developed an infection - we don't even know what surgery she ha because IT'S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!

I also doubt that your good friend had the world's press monitoring her every breath and expecting her to look amazing 24/7, and would speculate wildly if she didn't.

Nor will she have been under the sort of mental stress that comes with a family member slagging you off in the world's news and you can't respond. Stress affects your immune system and means that recovery times from illness and injury are greatly extended.

Have friends and family in Europe and this has been reported too right from the beginning, interesting isn't it?

You are an anti Kate troll , you've over reached yourself this time I've gone back three months, noted your bile. So have reported

Absolutely, everyone on the internet is a friend of Elvis.

Really?

Whenever mentioned it the last time I was in the chip shop for my usual dab and chips with a pickled onion.

What a nasty post!

“My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw Kate pass-out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.”

Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves. Apparently many, many MNers don't support women as much as I thought. If you don't want a monarchy, write to your MP. Don't torture a mum who's trying to protect her children from unwarranted speculation.

Christ the woman can't even recover in peace. Cn you imagine if all this speculation was aimed at her SIL? People would be screaming harassment and racism. Leave The Princess of Wales to recover.

I know it’s another Kate thread but I’d not seen much on MN about the Spanish media thing specifically

The Spanish press have been reporting this for weeks, it’s not new “news”

It was even commented on by the Palace weeks ago that it was all nonsense

Apparently the “source” is their Spanish nanny which it is very unlikely as she has been with them for a long time. Even if it was her she would have been let go in January when they started reporting it if any of it was true and considering she was seen with the children recently it’s unlikely to have happened

WotNoUserName · 13/03/2024 13:48

She's obviously had quite major surgery and doesn't want her appearance picked apart by everyone.

No one can say how long recovery is, as even with people having the same surgery it can vary wildly. For example, I've had 4 c-sections. Recovery for me has been between 3 weeks and 3 months! Say I took my best recovery time and told all women over that to stop moaning and get on with life, get back to normal. Horrible.

Also your cousin's aunt's best mates dog may have had the same surgery and gone back to work after 3 hours, but I bet their every move wasn't been judged by the world, and they weren't expected to give their intimate medical history to everyone.

User14March · 13/03/2024 13:52

Did the Spanish press report early on the Queen’s death or have I imagined it (?)

User14March · 13/03/2024 13:53

NB: Meant illness not death.

Epidote · 13/03/2024 13:54

A woman said it on a programme at the beginning of February something like she was on induced coma for a little while during or after the operation and all blow up like nonsensical whispering between borders. That was closed by the palace statement they made public at the beginning of February too.

Some programmes love a drama and they don't know in which direction the wind blows.

Her reputation now is quite damaged although she still claims that her sources are legit.
