Disgusting if true

I just view all of this putting it through my head as if it’s an episode of the thick of it. But I appreciate for you this is all consuming with your high profile status and friends with the royals.

[nationalsausagefund]

Are you disgusted or is at an opportunity for your 100th thread on Kate

[LiterallyOnFire]

Is this your full time job OP?

[GrazingSheep]

@DistinguishedSocialCommentator
Do you have any other interests in actual normal life?

[3luckystars]

This probably won’t make sense to anyone else, but this reminds me of the movie Merlin, at the end with Queen Mab, everyone just turned their backs, quietly.

I know we all got a bit caught up in this with the funny conspiracies etc. but I think the kindest thing we can all do is to just turn our backs on her now. For whatever reason, she wants privacy at this time.

I was reading about her, the woman who goes for bike rides with her children in the park, and goes to buy gifts for her friends like any of the rest of us and all I felt was sorry for her. We should be good to other women and help them along.

I’m turning my back now anyway.

“Disgusting” and yet half of mumsnet feel they have the right to know every detail of her personal medical information. Ironic

I stated this in another thread but will state it here too. I don’t understand people’s reasoning that they are entitled to know medical details about the royal family just because we pay for them. Do they expect to know the medical details of anyone who has ever claimed benefits (including child benefits)? Because if they do it will soon become a slippery slope.

[MissTrip82]

I can’t believe they were so stupid, it’s obvious this would be checked.

Poor woman.

This.

[PrettyFlyforaMaiTai]

I don’t understand how they thought they wouldn’t get caught. I work in an admin role in an NHS hospital. We work on a different data system to other hospitals but ours notifies managers if you try to access your own/staff/family/restricted access patients or anyone who doesn’t have appointments or open plans in the near future. And they do random checks on random patient profiles to see who has accessed records. It’s a sackable offence if you get caught snooping at things you’re not meant to be looking at - you’re meant to put comments as to why you are looking at docs or why you’ve unlocked restricted access docs.

Nailed it.

I just saw the news and came to see if someone had started a thread.

This where groups of obsessive gossips get us. The media shouldn't be fuelling it either.
It's actually quite creepy how many people feel entitled to details about a woman's body, but then I also think there's an underlying misogyny in how women marrying into the royal family are spoken about.

[Seizethedog]

For some employees I guess they might think the money they’d make would enable them to leave their job and live a nice life for some time . It’s a sick world we live in.

[MaturingCheeseball]

Yes, those records must be worth a fortune . Perhaps they have some dummy records to catch out an employee trying to access them, ie the file labelled “PoW” says Gotcha! and spurts indelible ink/sounds an alarm when it is opened.

Mark my words someone on here will try to position this as “whistleblowing”, “the public’s right to know” and “the rf should have come clean”.

I only hope the medical records show she had a bad case of piles.

There are many people that have little knowledge about computers. They can use them as taught, inc searching records but at training it is made clear you only access records on genuine/work-related needs and approatie bases. Same applies to council staff, police etc. You may recall some police getting caught

When you search a record it leaves a trail and can be looked at by those that admin the system.

Slightly different, you may recall the media accessing mobile phones in the early days of mobile phones - this is because most people did and still do leave their password at default setting and its easy to guess.

I've worked for the council and I've worked in several positions and in two of them also had access to NHS records. I was clear on what I could and could not access. I actually reported a member of staff of inappropriately looking up work mates case loads.

This. Of course they were going to check every day who had requested access to her information. I’d guess someone was approached with an offer of a lot of money from someone and decided sadly it was worth ending their career over. I’m guessing the news outlet that got this scoop would make a shit tonne of money from it.

That’s already been said on Twitter . Unbelievable .

[MrsDanversGlidesAgain]

I'd be surprised if her records are under her name, but admit that I have no idea if a private hospital would protect someone's privavcy by using a false name.

[TraitorsGate]

Hopefully the hospital will discover who tried to access them, they will be suspended then sacked for gross misconduct and possible face charges. At least we now know she was in hospital and not abducted by aliens. Bloody disgusting behaviour from the staff member.

[Sera1989]

I don't understand why someone would try to do this as the last person who gave out unauthorised medical info about Kate came under such scrutiny that she committed suicide (although she made a mistake rather than doing it on purpose).

I don't think the people in the video look exactly like either Kate or William but I don't believe in conspiracies so if they haven't said it's not them then it must be them. I'm sure someone could do gait analysis on her walk if they really wanted to

No doubt Catherine is personally at fault for the poor wages of NHS employees, and so deserves everything she gets if one of them is "forced" to breach her privacy for monetary gain🙄

[MyMotherMyDogAndClowns]

The Mirror might be reporting this disapprovingly, but you can bet your bottom dollar they’d have been right there in the bidding war for the information, had it been retrieved and made available.

OP - I would love to know your motivation for keeping these conversations going and fuelling the conspiracy theories. If you’re not being paid, what is it that you’re getting out of this constant recycling of prurient gossip? And do have literally nothing else in your life to be concerned with? You seem quite unwell.

[upinaballoon]

In the last few weeks of furore people have forgotten about the lady who committed suicide because she'd been tricked by a journalist, when Catherine was in hospital having one of the babies - George, I think. That must have been quite upsetting for C, knowing that her presence there caused the media curiosity and the tricking of the woman. It's lovely to go home with a new baby but imagine what it would be like for anyone to have that pleasure mixed up with the knowledge that your new happiness has had a knock-on effect of a woman being so frightened that she took her life.

It is very possible, I think, that that was one of the reasons for saying that they wouldn't keep putting out bulletins about her - an attempt to keep things calm, and discourage tricksters from phoning and nosing around all over the place. It hasn't worked but that doesn't mean that the good intention wasn't there.
